Now that labor*troubles are out of the way
and the money market again brought to a con
dition of positive ease, there is a growing dispo
sition in Wail street to look upon the hopeful
side of the situation. While there is not yet
any marked disposition to operate on the long
side to any extent, the feeling is more gener
ally bullish than at any time since the spring
boom was on, and stocks being all in strong
hands are held most firmly. The market,
therefore, displays a decidedly firm tone on a
small volume of business. To-day there was
something like a boom at the opening and sal-s
were made at material advances over Satur
day's final figures, the gams generally extend
ing to % per cent., while Sugar was up 1% per
csnt. Tue number of stocks traded in was
larger than usual of lat -and the strength
reached all portions of the list, although fu:tber
gains, especially in the general list, were insig
nificant. London was a moving factor in the
advance, and some commission buying helped
early gams, but the demand was soon satisfied,
and dullness becoming again a feature, traders
were again encouraged to take the short side,
especially as tuere was an effort to bid up
money, which, however, was unsuccessful, and
rates immediately dropped back to rae 1 .west
of th ‘ day. Th! action of Rock Island in an
nouncing a reduction in rates after the delay
was ordered led to the impression that insiders
were working for lower price, and that the
stock would be easily marked down. It was,
therefore, made the object of special pressure,
and from 8214 it was rattled off to 8314- Sugar
also yielded materially in tbe forenoon and the
rest of the market sagged off in sympathy,

The Sun'A cotton review says; “Futures
Opened at 4 pom.3 decline, closing steady at a
decline of 6 points on near and B@s points on
late months from Saturday's closing prices.
Receipts at this port this day 16,58s bales, last
Tuesday 7,076 bales, this date hist season 10,809
bales. There was more of a normal market to
day than there has been for some time. Manip
ulation was wholly eliminated from the influ
ences affecting the course of values The fail
ures of Steinstrand of Liverpool and Schaefer
Oi New Orleans were announced, completing
the wreck of the late bull party. The decline
from Saturday was due to decidedly lower fig
ures from Ijverpool, and continued free move
ment for the crop, but the lowest prices of the
day were made in the first hour. The announce
ment of above mentioned failures brought in
buyers to cover contracts, which caused a
slight and partial recovery. Winter months
were active and there was a large business for
September cotton. Spot was dull and weak.”

Chicago, Sept. 2.—ln wheat there was a
stronger feeling and most of yesterday's de
cline was recovered. There is no doubt of ft
change in sentiment, some of the larger traders,
who have been operating on the short,side lean
ing more strongly to the bull side. Opening
higher than yesterday's close, it fluctu
ated some litflj time within %c range, started
up and advanced l)jc above mode figures, and
held rather firmly and closed about l%c for
Sej vmber. H*c for December, and 18*c higher
for May than the closing yesterday. In corn
there was a fair business within 3a®?kc range,
and the feeling was somewhat stronger. The
bulk of trading was at higher prices. A better
tone was due in a measure to the advance in
wheat and to rumurs of colder weather pre
dieted io the west, which created a-, increased
demand from the ports and other sources First
trad s wer- at a slight advance. Afterward the
market s Id up 44® 7 nc. reacted some, ruled
firmer and closed with s ®lc gain. Oats were
fairly active and steadier, the change beiug
only a natural reaction after the severe decline
of yesterday. Offerings were not so free and
the demand at limes quite urgent, especially
from shorts Most of the trading was in May.
but there w as also fair bidding for October, and
sales were at about the tame figures as Sep
tember. < 'per.ing about the same as yesterday's
closing, it advanced 44c, and the market closed
steady at almost outside price*. In tness pork
a fair trade was reported, chiefly in October
and January contracts. Offerings were moder
ately free and the demand fair. Prices were
steady at the opening, but receded 7t4®idc
under the Influence of more liberal offerings,
toward the close rallied somewhat and closed
steady. In lard the demand was moderate and
not very large. The feeling was rather steady
and prices exhibited only slight chamees. Trad

QUEER THINGS DO HAPPEN.
An Unvarnished Hecttal ofthe Adven
tures of a Fall River Urchin.
from the Fait Rtwer Globe.
A boy with wonder ful rapacity for cold
water made a kind of Noah’s ark time of it
last evening for people who dwell around the
South Park. There is a toll stand pipe near
the park, where the sprinkling carts load
up, and the pressure from the pond at that
point is Himettiing like a million pounds to
the square inch. Just wbat poases.od the
aforesaid boy to climb that stand-pipe while
the band was playfrtg gayly in the baud
stand wil{ probably never be known.
Possibly bo had found life too slow at the
drinking fountain, and it may be that be
didn’t think be could do the stand pipe any
harm. At any rate he shinned op and
began monkeying with the cap at the top.
A 1 ufl grown man with cold steel appliances
would undoubtedly have experienced con
siderable difficulty in unfastening that tap,
but tlie foot-high urchin found it easy
enough. His accomplishment will surprise
him to tbs end of his days. Ue was be/idiag
directly over the pipe, stomach down,
when the last thread of the oefp-scre w was
loosened.
There was a swish and a roar and the
million-pound pressure sent a mighty vol
ume of water a thousand feet into the air.
It would have been a magnificent spectacle
but for one feature, which frezo the blood in
the veins of the assembled multitude.
As far as the eyo could reach, and almost
at the very top of this tower of water, a
tiny spook slowly revolved. It was the
small boy, helpless, and feebly waving bis
hands and feet in his terror.
Fortunately tho tremendous force sup
ported him, and the centrifugal power
oonvflxirig toward the sides of the torrent,
kept him in the middle. ft was wet work
looking ou, but for a few seconds nobody
dared to move. Then a bravo member of
the police department recovered his presence
of mind and darted to the Park House
telephone. A little later Mupt. Kieran of the
water works arrived on the seene, pale but
determined.
The same thought seemed to inspire the
crowd at tho same moment, for five hundred
voices exclaimed: “You must let him down
easy.” Hupt. Kieran needed no sueh warn
ing. He knew that to shut off the supply
suddenly meant a terrible fall for the half
drowned lad, who had caused to move up
there among the stars, aud with a touch as
light as a woman’s he began to turn back
the swift tide in the main artery.
Inch by inch the tower of water dimin
ished; inch by inch that small sptek of
humanity descended. The excitement was
at concert pitch. Everybody spoke in
hoarse whispers. Finally a joyous cheer
rang out. The urchin was thirty feat from
tbe ground, and scores of arms were out
stretched to receive him. “Stand steady,”
was the order, ad the last spoonful of
water was turned off, and the boy dropped
safely into the net work of hands. “ibat
bi ats balloons,” he said, as he wiped bis face
with his dripping sleeve.
In Town and Hamlet
The seeds of Intermittent and bilious remittent
fever germinate and bear evil fruit. No com
munity has altogether escaped it. In populous
wards of large cities bad sewage causes it. and
in their suburbs stagnant pool* in sunken lots
breed it. There is at once a remedy and a
means of prevention. Its tame is Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, wtfioh is, without peradvent
ure, the most potent antidote in existence to
the malarial virus. Fortified with this incom
parable saving specific, miasmatic influences
may be encountered with absolute impunity.
Disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, be
gotten by miasma-tainted water, or any other
cause, succumb to tbe beneficent corrective
named, and rheumatic, kidney and bladder
troubles are surely removable by its use when
it is given a persistent trial.
Pure Water.
Ac article in ths Timet of the 27th states
that some of our citizens send away for
spring water for drinking purposes. Why
should they do this when by the use ot one
of Pasteur’s Germ Proof Filters the river or
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
ana wholesome!
This is anew invention by the calebrated
French physic al) after whom it is called.
The water is forced through a number of
pore-lain tubes, which aro so arranged as to
be protected from the loa-1 danger of con
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and others interested
aro invited to inspect its workings at the
crockery house of James S. Silva, where all
information will bo cheerfully furnished.
