In the stock market to-day the range of
prices in most stocks was extremely small.
There were few featur-s of interest in the
transactions, but, considering the h gh rates for
money, the market was remarkably well held,
and snows conclusively that strong hands are
in possession of stocks in this mamet. Money
on call to-day loaned as low as 6 and as high as
16 per cent., out there was a decidedly easier
feeling at tne close of business. Dealings to
ay were small outside of those of the profes
sional element, and while London hou es were
sellers to a limit ;d extent. Chicago people were
doing almost nothing, and traders were bearish
for a turn. There was no pressure to sell in
any portion of the list, ana while traders did
some hammering, they brought out very iitie
stock, though there was again some liquida
tion. induced by the scarcity of money aid an

ictrost is still of respectable proportions, and
to-day the stock was so and on advances, and
sh >we<l evidence of support on declines. It is
sid t at a 1 lrge speculative interest has b igun
to buy it for a turn, but the pi indpal reason
for a steadi r tone to-day was the paymen of
the October interest. Coat stocks were not so
strong, and Nev,-Jersey Central, after selling
up to 131, settled back to U 746 on the market
ing of a block of stock. Grangers were attack -d
upon the re ort of Burliugt n for August,
which- was not so fashionable as had been ex
iwcted. Manhattan was one positively strong
feature of the day, aud it rose to lira's, and
closed at 10) on what appeared to be manipula
tion. Pullman was also specially strong on
western buying, and the remarkably good state
ment o£ Louisville and Nashville did much to
support that stock. Tue export of gold was in
ex pi cable upon any grounds known to the
str-et. and no explanation was to be had at the
banking house which ordered it, and the effect
upon the market was depress ng in the ex
treme. Toward the close a better feeling
existed, as money gave signs of easing ud, anil
the close was dull but firm, though still small
fractious b-low opening prices. The list is gen
erally lower to-night, f-tit there are no liniHir

The San's cotton review says: “Futures
opened depressed by a fall of 3-64®5-64d in the
Liverpool niarnet, but ail unfavorable crop re
port from Mempnis caused a quick recovery.
A slight improvement after tne last call, on
demand to cover conn acts, was lost as soon as
the demand subsided, but the close was about
steady. Most of the southern markets were
94®!4 C lower.”

UHicaoo, Chit. I.—After a barelv steady open
log, wheat again advanced about le before
noon, wnere it hung for some time. The
smaller class of traders were ail preity well
loaded at the start, and, as the bear eleqnent
were quite conservative in their movements,
holders showed no disposition to weaken. There
was at n j time, in fact, any pres-mre to sell,
and the market rallied well from all weak spots,
notwithstanding the increased Interior move
ment and tine weather every wher ■. Half an
hour or so before the close there was a substan
tial reaction, and so ue early improvem ret was
lost. The extreme weakness at ttie finiji was
due to depressed late private cab.cs aud free
selling here by New Yo k parties. Rarest bds
were l*c under yesitT lay’s closing* and I 1,1
off from the best prices of the day. Corn was
active and easy early and later somewhat
firmer, but reacted some with wheat. The mar
ket op me 1 rather weak at yesterday’s closing
prices, was easy and sold off tjc. i ’fTerings of
October were quite liberal, about 2,000,000 bush
els being delivered on contracts It closed a
shade lower than yesterday. Oats were quiet
and steady, and without new features of inter
est. Trading was only moderate in mess pork
and the feeling was steadier, _ except to- Octo ■
her. There was not much doing in lard, and
tho feeling w-as steadier. Toe inquiry for short
rilis was moderate and offerings rather light.
The feeling was steady, prices favoring sellers.

CANADA’S NOMINAL RULERS.
Tho Governors General and What
They Cost the Taxpayers.
From the New York Tribune.
Ottawa, Fept. 26.—Lcrd Stanley's pro
longed absence from the capital and his
expensive jaunts through tho country from
one end to the other have ouce more started
the question whether it pays to import a
governor general from E.igland. The vioe
regal establishment has proved an expen
sive luxury in the past, and is likely to
do so as long as go vernors general are chosen
from a class of the English nobility
who prefer spending the country’s
money to their own. The Marquis
of Lome, during his term as governor
general, received $50,000 a year, and bis
pleasure trips cost tlia Dominion $22,724 30.
His journey to British Columbia run awav
with $11,741 39 of the public money, and
the picuic to the northwest territories
$10,983. He received, bead his salary of
$50,000 a year, an allowance of $5,000 a
year for cxDenses. The maintenance of
Kideau hall, the vice-regal residence, also
represents a large sum yearly in the
statistics.
L >ril Dufforin was a still more costly
luxury to this struggling, impoverished
young nation than the son-in-law of the
queen and his bride, the queen’s daughter.
Besides his salary of $50,0u0 a year, $5,01X1 a
yoar allowance for travedug expenses anil
the big Kideau hall annual i ill, he managed
to get away with not legs than $43,02' 20 in
various pleasure trips at the cost of the
overburdened taxpayers. Ho took four
trips in all—tho first to Muskoka, the second
to British Columbia, the turn! t * Mauitobi
and the fourth to the cartel n town
ships. The Muskoka excursion was a
pretty expensive one, representing a
sum drawn from the national treasury
amounting to $14,188 29. The jaunt to tho
Pacific slopo will long be remembered. His
excellency managed on that occasion to run
up bills which Canada had to liquidate in
good currency to tho extent of $17,554 ‘id.
The Manitoba progress was hugely enjoyed
by the vice-regal pleasure seekers, and left
the dominion cash box #9,778 45 the lighter.
The last of the series, tne run down to tin*
eastern townships, was a short and com
par.itively inexpensive on-, the expenditure
being kept within the modest limbs of sl.-
590 21.
L ,rd Lansdowne was a model of thrifty
management, at and, uuliko the orthod >x
pattern of governor goneral, paid his way.
Being naturally of an economical turn of
mind, aud having learned under the
pressure of diminished rent-rolls in Ireland
the necessity of living on comparatively
hard tack, be set himself seriously to the
solution of tho problem of how to live rent
free for $55,1)00 a year, and succeeded.
The trips he took to different parts of the
dominion were defrayed entirely out of his
pay as governor gene al.
Lord Stanley is a princely sort of person
age, accustomed ail his lifo’to pay his bills
by drafts on the national treasury. He has
drawn salaries over since he entered public
life as a member of a tery government. He
is not a spondturift or a debmehej, and in
return tor his wages ho performs the duties
expected of him as well as lie knows hiAv./J
But ho keeps up a tolerably largo household
of people, whore principal trouble iu life
seems how to kill time; and if his traveling
bills do not exceed his allowance very
largely, the people who have to find Um>
money will be very agreeably surprised.
If his excellency, her ladyship and the vice
regal estabhshnien j spent their money ii
Ottawa, or a lair proportion of it, there
would not bo s much grumbling as there 1b
at present in the capital of the dominion, at
the cost of that very expensive, and, as
some are saying, useless luxury, an English
govoruor general of Canada
A significant proof of popular sentiment
is furnished by the fact that throughout
their excellencies’ triumphant progresi ii a
special train through Canaria, bound for the
far west and tho Pacific, not a single
Canadian newspaper has taken tho trouble
to send a correspondent along. Their names
are hardly ever mentioned, i'heieis rarely
oveu a telegram announcin' I oir slop
page or doings. Nine-teniiis of the people
of Canada do not at this moment even know
where the governor general and hia stately
wife are. The general uuderstandin - is
that they are some whore west, picnicking
on a sort of deadhead special Canadian
Pacific railway train at the public expense;
but there is not tho least curiosity on tho
subject. Nobody cares the least bit about
them. To this state of complete indifference
Lord and Lady Stanley have b ought tho
people of Canada withia tho brief ipace of
a year. _____
The World’s Cheapest Restaurant.
Paris Letter to the Mew Orleans Times.
Not far from tho Rue St. Denis is a
res'aurant that has few counterparts. It is
the cheapest place in Paris, and that means
in the world. I once had the honor to en
tertain a VVhyo king, sinco hanged, in one
of the chief Chatham street eating-houses.
The Wbyo had what lie called a “corKiii’
good food,” and the bill, 1 ihink, was 14
cents. But the Paris restaurant is muen
cheaper. It e joys the title of “Au Hasard
de la Fourchette.” In it a l uge cauldron
hangs over a fire. It is filled with all sorts
and conditions of eata les. The customer
pays 3 cents to the buriy gentleman who is
in charge. He receives in return a bu e
long-handled fork. This he plunges into the
pot once—no more. I did not try my luck,
but I found it interesting to watch those
who did. It was a peculiar game of chance,
and those who played it snowed more in
terest in it than you can sea on the faces of
the gamblers at Monaco. Sometime* a
lucky one would bring up a chicken wing
or a substantial chunk of meat, and thereon
his face wou and light. But more often the
fork would come up iaden with only a
potato or some insignificant article. H v..
ever, that made no difference. Tho player
had to he satisfied with his winnings, or be
would travel to the street with m re
velocity than comfort. Altogether, the
‘•Fork Hazaid” is a queer place, and . s
worth seeing.
