' Bar silver, New York GO% 60% Call money, New York 2% 4 NEW YORK. Sept. 13-— The market started off this morning with Indications that the re actionary peri ,d had come io an end. Prices in the railroad list advanced almost without exception under the stimulus of higher prices for Americans in London ard a sharp demand for People's Gas on reports that the dispute with the Indiana Gus company has been ad- Justed. Severe depression in some of the specialties, notably Rrooklyn Transit, Man hattan, Minnesota Iron and Consolidated Gas. checked the upward movement. The bears Bold the list freely, and their confidence was | Justified by the renewal of liquidation in- j duced by the decline of prices. There was stubborn r< distance to the de cline in some of the railroad stocks, but j prices generally fell below yesterday's low j point and dullness Intervened. The market was one of specialties during the greater part of the day and some sharp I declines were shown by quite a number. ! Sugar was advanced at one time on the usual I buying ln anticipation of tomorrow's dividend disbursement, but dropped suddenly 4\ trom the top level In the late dealings and ! unsettled the whole market. Metropolitan 1 Street Railway was also conspicuously weak. The declaration of the usual quarterly divi- j dend on Manhattan and Western Union did j not avail to save those stocks from decline;, j ln face of selling by brokers usually active in * the Gould stocks. The whole group sympa thized in the weakness. Minnesota Iron, Illi nois Steel and American Steel- and Wire all suffered heavy losses. There were very confident assurances dur ing the day that the period of possible strin gency ln the money market had passed, but the marking up of call loans on the board to 6 per cent detracted from the effect of there assurances. Sterling exchange hold steady, however, and there Ts an undoubted growth of a belief that the present stiffness of call money rates ls due to technical causes, the influence cf which is not likely to extend far outside the stock exchange nor to endure there. No difficulty is apprehended in pro viding for the payment of the remaining sub scriptions on the government loan without strain on the money market and the comple tion of this operation will work an automatic relief ln the money market. The bond market was rather neglected and prices declined ln sympathy with stocks Total sales $2,515,000. Government bonds were unchanged.

Sept. 13.— The Evening Post's London financial cablegram rays: "The stock markets here were dull today. The settlement showed an Increased account, but it was entirely pro fessional, the public not having "caught on," even In mining shares. Americans were dull ail day and closed flat, St. Paul lead ing the decline. The settlement ln Ameri cans showed an increased account and con tangoes were 2%03 per cent." LONDON MONEY— London, Sept. 13.— The market for American securities opened bet ter, improved somewhat, but later eased off and remained quiet, owing to the inactivity of operators.

WALL STREET GOSSIP— New York stock gossip, reported by H. Holbert & Sen, bank ers and brokers, 341 Robert street. National Gcrmin-Amcrlcan B3nk building, St. Paul— j Post & Flagg wire us: "Today's opening was again strong and marked the highest ! prices for the day. for although the market j waa not particularly weak nor was the j soiling as heavy nnd as aggressive as it has ; been of late, st 11 buyers were only ready to take stocks at concessions, and hence, when the market advanced. th» buying ma terially decreased. The money market con tinues the buiibear, and will be so In our judgment until we have heavy imports of gold. Anything like $10,000.(00 import would, we think, again start active bull speculation. This is bound to be the belief, and ls sure to come, the only question being when. Un til that time we expect an up and down market, but believe that prices are low enough for the time and should advise pur chases on declines. Total sales for the day, 362,240 shares."

NEW YORK COTTON-New York, Sept. 13. —The cotton market opened dull at unchang ed prices and for the rest of the forenoon speculation was stupid, with fluctuations lim ited to a matter of two points. Numerous comp.aints of rust and shedding in the At lantic states and too much rain in he cen tral portion of the belt were offset by an indifferent set of cables from the Liverpool market. Selling wa*. checked by light port receipts, today's movements promising to reach less than 15,000 bales. Liverpool and Southern interests sent selling orders, but these were limited for the most part lo a degree which prohibited their excution. Scalp ers operated In a half-hearted way on both sides of the account. Cotton, spot, closed dull and easy; middling uplands, 5 13-16 c; middling gulf, 6 l-16c; sales, 278 bales. NEW YORK DRY GOODS-New York Sept. 13.— There was a fair amount of trad ing today in nearly all lines of dry goods. The operations in print cloths were not heavy. Buyers have apparently satisfied their pressing needs. The strong position of sel lers ls they refuse to part with cloths ex cept as spots, kept buyers from operating in some degree. Converters are not now heavy operators in the market. Coarse col ored cotton_fc showed generally poor results. Inlaid finished cambrics, and, In fact, in all grades of linings, the market was quiet.

At the close pig iron warrants were quiet, with $6.85 bid and $6.95 asked; lake copper quiet, with $12.25 bid and $12.87% a3ked; tin dull, with $16.10 bid and $16.15 asked: spelter firm, with $4 80 bid, and $4.87% asked, and lead quiet, with $4 bid and $4.05 asked.

How cool it is here, and pretty! You are vexed: I'm afraid I'm late; You've been waiting, oh, what a pity! And it's almost half past eight. So tt is: I can hear it striking Out there ln the gray church tower. Why, I wonder at your liking To wait for me half an hour! I am sorry: what have you hern doing All tho while down here by tho pool? Do you hear the wild-dove coo'.ng? How nice It is here, and cool! How that elder piles and masses Her exeat blooms snowy-sweet; Do you see through the serried grasses Tho forget-me-nots at your feet? And the fringe of flags that incloses The water; and how the place Is alive with nink dog rosea Soft-eo:ored like your face! You like them? Shall I pick one For a badpe and coin of June? They are lov< -ly. but :h«\v prick ono And they always fade so soon. Here's your rose. I think love like this Is. That buds bit ween two sighs. And flowers between two hisses. And when It's gathered dies. It were surely a grievous thing, love, That love should fade in one's sight; It were hotter surely to fling lovo Off while Us bloom is bright. The frail life will not lin. -or. Rest throw the rrso away. Though the thorns having scratched one's finger Will hurt for half a day. What! you'd rather keen It, and see it Fade and Its petals fall?-— , If you will, why amen, so bo it; You may be fight after all. — In th« Athenaeum. — *- "^ — ™— — — — — — — HURT B^_A HORSE.
