New' York, Aug. 29.—The tendency of affairs at the stock exchange to-day was in the di rection of improvement, not so much early in the; day as towards the close. The reason was that in the early trading the bulls of fered little opposition to the manipulation for lower prices, The bears made several raids and depressed the market to 1 per cent from last night's closing. Sugar. General Electric and Chicago (las loading. While the selling for local account was in prog ress, however, banking houses with for eign connections were liberal buyers and London at once purchased upwards of 40,000 shrres. This absorption induced the bulls to take hold with considerable vigor as the day advanced, and bet ween 1 and 3 o clock a sharp advance was recorded all along the line. Those who sold short during the morn ing found the work ot covering exceedingly difficult. In addition to the Inquiry from this source there was a brisk demand for long ac count and speculation assumed a positively buoyant tone. The improvement was due chiefly to the heavy vote in the Bouse yester day in favor of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman silver law. which was recognized as a favorable influence abroad. The ad v nil e in the active list was equal to 4(c£B4 percent., the latter in Sugar sold within a fraction of 83. All others were prominent, although the rise in Chicago Gas was checked by rumors that the Fidelity Trust of Philadelphia would refuse to pay the scrip dividend just declared by the Chf ea o Gas Company.

READY FOR THE -RUSH. Waiting Hundreds on the Kansas Border of the Cherokee Strip, Caldwell, Kan., Aug. 26. —This place is Just beginning to exjicrience the rush of people bent upon securing claims in the Cherokee strip when that country is opened to settlement on Kept. 16. The objective point of most settlers heretofore has been Arknysas City, but so many have gathered along the Cherokee strip lme in that vicinity that it is doubtful if all will be successful in securing claims. Asa result,, hundreds of people are now being brought here by the Hock Island railway from both east and west. This place is nearer the line than Ar kansas City, and the homesteaders are not obliged to go out of the city. The ho tels are filling, and many camps havo been pitched in the public square and in vacant lots The prairie wagons with their loads of children are beginning to arrive from the west. They, mostly, go direct to the lino, where the wagon tops are covered into tents The prospective |xiint of people gathering here is the land adjoining the Salt Fork of the Arkansas river, and the land between that stream and the Cimmarron, which is as rich as any in the strip. WORKING AT NIGHT. Mormon Elders Afraid to Attempt to Secure Converts in the Daytime- Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 26.—The Mor mons here have recently had four baptiz ings, bringing many converts into the fold. New elders have been sent here. Services are being held twice a week within six miles of the city. From thirty to forty persons have embraced this faith. The eiders are working at night, being afraid of the citizens, and have had the nerve to request the privilege of using the city churches. ITnless some action is taken soon, this section will be overrun with Mormons, as they are increasing rap idly every day.
