foreign security market and New York

stocks were attributed to independent in
fluences. a general trend toward lower
prices was noted, with the tendency fav
ored in part by conspicuous weakness of
some specialties.
Movements in the railroad list were,
email but some large fractions were clip
ped off Northern Pacific and Union
Pacific around midday when the general
tendency downward assumed some force.
The failure of St. Paul to respond to its
increase in earnings of $75,341 for the third
weak in August, greatly discouraged buy
ing of the Western stocks. Southern Pa
cific was dealt in only to the extent of
500 shares, and no transactions whatever
occurred after the statement that the
Huntington holdings would not coma on
the market. General profit taking check
ed the advance in St. I*oul# Southwestern
preferred when it crossed 30, and there was
a reaction of I*4, but the net loss was
only a small fraction.
Sugar was quite prominent and ran off
on discussion as to future trade con
ditions. Stocks of local corporations dis
played marked heaviness at intervals.
American Ice, Brooklyn Transit and Con
solidated Gas yielding from 1% to 284 per
cent. No definite news accompanied the
movements. but the weakness of the lat
ter was said to be realizing induced by its
late notable rise. Statements that the
general condition of the iron Industry
showed a decided improvement, and that
negotiations with labor organizations were
in a fair way of being adju.ted satis
factorily, did rfot Impart any strength to
the metal group which was reactionary
all around, aside from Tennessee Coal
which Improved 184.
Forecasts of to-morrow's bank state
ment indicate a gain in cash by local in
stitutions of $7,432,027. There are no in
dications of Immediate gold shipments.
Toward the close the stock market showed
a tendency to rally in sympathy with
large gains in special stocks.

Gen. N. M. Curtis of Ogdensburg was
a guest of Mrs Jefferson Davis on Mon

When shown the above Item and asked
to give something for publication regard
ing his visit, Gen. (Curtis said: “Yes. I
wus In Canton on Monday, and had the
pleasure of calling on Mrs. Jefferson Da

and one who has kept well (Informed upon
all public matters for the last half cen
tury. both relating to our own and for
. |gn eountr es, and she takes the live
liest Interest In the stirring events of the
pie ent a' well as these cf the past. It
was the first time I had had the pleasure
of mee lng Mis. Davis although I had
for many years known some of her Inti
mate friends.
"I have been Interested In Mississippi
since 185D when my brother, Andrew
Jackson Curtis, settl'd In Vicksburg,
while he lived until filling heahh com

among my brother's papers wer • several
letteis from him relating to political af

soldiers and attll ted people of R 1 hrnond
"I came to know at the close of the war
many Mlsslsslpplans, every one of whom
I have been able to count my friend. In
my congressional service I was fortunate
In having the support of the Mississippi
delegation, as I did generally those of
the South for every measure I Introduced,
and I was glad to assure Mrs. Davis of
my appreciation of the action of her
friends, which aided me In the passage of
many measures calculated to promote
the Interests of my district.
“I was also glad of the opportunity to
tell her how much sh has, by her Influ

acquaintance tn the North as well as the
Koulh, to bring about tha harmonious re
lations which now happily exist among
the people of all sections of the country.

"Tliose of our people who meet Mrs.
Davis •will carry away the most agreeable
impressions of an Interview with a highly
cultured and refined woman, who haa
passed through the most Important and
Interesting half century of our country’*
existence, and who speaks Interestingly o£

dignify her sex and feels the keenest
Interest tn every measure relating to tha
public welfare of the country, which !•
to her, as to them, the best and most be
loved.
"I have replied to your inquiry with
many misgivings regarding the propriety
of answering the request, lest I might
trespess upon the private rights of ons
who, however conspicuous her position In
public life has been, has for years avoided
the public gaze and modestly devoted her
-elf to the task of brightening and cheer
ing the lives of those who suffered pm
either side In the great national conflict.
It would not become me to enter upon
any details of those personal qualities
which distinguish her In private circles
nnd cause her to be so much sought and
admired by the young. Those who pos
sess an intimate acquaintance with this
kind woman are most fortunate.”
