JUND '' -- midwaAi a coanwmeiAMm atvbbat. Oot The market for eeeurltlee ha be rihr severely tested this k. Be8 of the aaeettled political situation broed tad advancing ratM of dleeount at praetl ally all Important European nnanolal cen tree. foreign dealer have taw free eell rt of etoeks in ihfn market Thla novamant kaa encouraged local operations for abort ee ooont It la stgnlfleant hoeever, that the foreign eelllng and local effort to depreee prlcaa have not resulted Id a paml lower level of values. Tha markat baa baan narrow and upon tha aarfaca largely pro fessional: rt tha level of prtaaa for tha ma jority of atoaka baa not baan lowarad. Afaw fatooka In which tha dealings have baanamall ara lowar than they wara last Saturday night bat tha majority of tha Mat la hither. A logical inference from theee airaamataooaa la that atooka hare baan quietly eb aorbed. Thla TleW waa apparently entertalnad to-day by recent aellera, for tha markat waa atroM on wbat seemed to be the covering of shorts. The demand waa moat pronounced In American Tobacco and raanltad In a net ad vance of mora than 6 points. Tha covering movement extended throughout tha llat and in Sugar Banning reeulted In an advance of J cant Tha untoward developments thta weak were an advanoe of 1 w cent In tha minimum rata of dlaoonnt of tha Bank of France and higher ratea of private dlecounta at prac tically all European centre. The poaalblllty of a rupture between tha European powera haa made tha various Oovemmeat banke vie with eaoh other in an effort to ahlft tha liqui dation of tha lndabtadneaa of Europe to thla oountry for breadetuffs. In tha meantime axporta of oereale. particu larly wheat and corn, ara being made upon a large aeale. and payment for tha amine la being deferred by heavy pnrohaaee hare of long atarllng for Investment Thla faot to gether with the higher ratea for money abroad, haa checked Import of apeela. Dot that faot la of but little consequence In view of tha strong position of tha Treasury and of tha banks at thta centre and at the principal commercial polnta throughout the oountry. Large amounts of gold ara being reoelved, not only from Europe, but from Australia and from the Klondike. Receipts from Europe to-day ware ovar 9000,000, and since Jan. 1 over $06,000,000. Regarding the commercial relations be tween thla oountry and Europe tha follow ing, from the laat number of the London SUtitt, juat at hand. Is of Interest: "With tha advanoe In tha bank rate tha de mand for gold for New York haa aeaaed; nevertheless. American exchange haa far ther declined, and ware money In New Tork to Improve in value, gold axporta would again become profitable. Already wa owa tha United States a large aum of money, and oar debt will steadily ac cumulate during the next month. Hence In November, should tha elections Indicate that tha Government will be able to carry its cur rency measure, the gold demand may revive. Further, we must bear in mind that tha ' Secretary of tha Treasury may desire to ac cumulate an unusually large gold reserve, whloh ho will have no difficulty In doing should he Intend to deal effootually with tha currency question. So far as Germany la con cerned, we can prevent money being taken by removing the inducement of much higher rates in Berlin; bat as to tha United States, wa cannot prevent gold being taken, as New York has- merely to present tha bills it actually holds and to withdraw the money in payment It was, therefore, essential for the bank to prevent the reserve from fall ing below ita present level." Importance la given to the above statement by the falling off of nearly $3,000,000 in tha value of merchandise Imported thla week as compared with the previous week and the large shipments of cereals both this weak and last week. Domestic trade doea not make quite aa good a showing as the statistics of business with foreign countries: still, a number of favorable features are to be noted, namely: an improvement in textile manufac ture, both woollen and cotton. Railway trafno returns for the first half of October are nearly BX r oent better than last year and nearly 6 V cent, better than in 1892. In the iron Industry the feature la the demand for new rolling stock. Bank clearances for the week show a slight curtailment in the volume of business as compared with the previous weak. The weekly statement of averages of the Associated Banka shows a decided im provement in local conditions. The banka have gained $8,413,000 in lawful money, nearly all of It in specie. They have expanded their loana over $10,500,000, and these ohangea have Increased the de posits nearly S18.500.000. After providing tha reaerve required against the deposits the banks carry to surplus reserve account 3X millions of dollars, bringing that item up to 123,412,000. Aa compared with the final prices of last Sat urday, the majority of stocks are higher. The more Important net advances are in American Tobacco.

Nodaoa, Ark., Oct. 17. "The abnormal rainfall ha. stimulated a growth of weed very prejudicial to ripening of fruit. Lower bolls an mushy. A lata frost would Injure the bottom crop and help tha top crop. If it comes now it will do no good to the lower crop and will ruin the top. We have had two light frosts, but no Injury has resulted.

There la an impression Juat now that Naw Tork may soon be the soene of one of the moat brilliant International weddings in Its his tory. Mrs. Samuel J. Colgate and the Earl of Strafford are the ones whose names are men tioned In this regard. Mrs. Colgate arrived In thla oountry In September after three rears apent in Europe. She went directly on her ar rival to vlalt her motherTTira., Samuel Smith, at the family homestead at Ballston Spa. Since Mrs. Colgate left .Ballston Spa she haa been located at her own country seat at New Ham burg, riot Ions after Mrs. Colgate returned here her friends were Informed that ahe had concluded to realde permanently In England. This waa regarded as a tacit admission of her engagement to the TEarl of Strafford. Eti quette in thla ease demands a marriage In the bride's native land. It la four yeara alnce the death of Samuel J. Colgate, who left an estate of several millions. Duncan Elliot haa been at the clubs this past week, and those who knew him before hla departure for Cuba would scarcely' recognize him In his present emaciated condition. Hla clothes, evidently procured prior to his joining Gen. Laoret, hang loosely about him Hereto fore slnoe bis return be has made Philadelphia his headquarters. All the floral decorations in St Thomas's Ch'.-rch for the wedding ol Miss Marie Heyl Churchill and Harold Herman John Baring, whloh will take place lato to-morrow after noon, will he done In chrysanthemums. So many cards have been gent out that the pews will all be filled. There will be no specialmu slcal service, and the lack of bridesmaids will detract from the effect of the bridal procession. A mistake has been made In the newspaper an nouncements concerning the reception to bo given after the church ceremony. It win not be confined to relatives and intimate friends, as haa been stated, the bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Augustus Churchill, having sent jut several hundred oards for the affair. There are likely to be fully 30U persons to offer their congratulation to the newly married couple, deducting those who will be unable to attend for one or another reason. Mrs. Frederick W. Sharon of 323 Fifth ave nue sailed laat Thursday for Europe. She will go to Pau, where ahe will remain for a time. Mrs. Sharon has a grown daughter. Miss Flor ence Breckinridge, who Is to be brought out this winter at a ball to be given in San Fran cisco. Miss Helen King will become this week Baroness von Giskra. Cards have been, re ceived here for the wedding, which is to take place on Wednesday at Berne. Switzerland, little la known here of the bridegroom, ex cept that he la Secretary of the Auatro-Hun-garlan Legation at Berne. It is three yeara alnce Miss King started on a tour around the world with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John King. Mr. King was In delicate health then, and he died at Nice last year. Miss King, who waa one of the most popular and attractive girls in society, has quite a fortune In her own right The engagement of Miss King to vari ous titled Individuals haa been erroneously re ported from time to time. Miss Kittle Moen and Howard C. Smith, both wall known and popular In society, are to have a big wedding next Wednesday evening. The ceremony will take place at Chiiat Church, Boulevard and Seventy-first street, and the Bev. Dr. Bhlpnen. the rector, will officiate, as sisted bv the Bev. Dr. David H. Greer, rector of St. Bartholomew's Church, of which con- g rogation the bridegroom is a member. Mr. mith is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stew ait Smith. The Impression now is that the marriage of Miss Emily Vanderbllt Sloans and John H. Hammond will be celebrated In the not far distant future at the Fifth Avenue Presbyte rian Church. One of Miss Sloane'a cousins. Miss Shepard. now Mrs. William Jay Sobleffe lln. waa married In this church several years ago.
