CANES. ‘How to Carry TFhem—The Estnetic Fashion of This Year—a Dissertation on Blackthorns. New York World. “Styles in canes? Why, they change al- most as often as the cut of women’s dresses do,” said a inanufacturer of walking sticks yesterday. “‘Lhave been in this business since it was established by my father in 154], and during that time 1 have learned that new Shapes in sticks must be invented every year. When this place was first started it was the only one in New York which carried on the business of making walking-sticks exclusive- jy, and one of the few in the country;° but since that time, when my father had a small cellar in Cortlandt street, the business has grew, and now I think there -must @ a score or more firms engaged in it in this. city, alone, A good cane isan vid man’s frien one is 2 young man’s pride, One may as well be out of the world as out of the fash- jon, and the young man nowadays who doesn’t carry a ‘crook’ may as Well go to the nearest dock and throw himself into the river. When I say crook, 1 megn the latest thing out in canes. It is similar in shape to the curved-handle stick which has ali been in vogue but generally carried by old gentlemen. ‘There are two styles, the shep- herd’s crook, shaped 1 a fish-hook, and the Zulu crook, a plain, curved handle. Both styles originated on the other side, as do most of the fashions imcanes. The Zulu is from Paris and theshepherd from London, They-were introduced there last spring and took the place of the crutch, which wasso popular Jast year. These new style are made from natural woods with handles, and yet there are great a many made with chamuis or buffafo-horn handles. When L was a young man a whalebone e was the proper thing, and since then there haye been the agate topped Malacca, the bambov and barked sticks of different. shapes, The makers here gét woods from all over the world, the most expensive being the Malac- ea, Which comes from the swamps in the Straits of Malacca, and the Jeopard wood, olive, and snake wood from Afri America can supply the wants of the world for pretty barked wood. For-canes the ash plant, very popular among Englishmen, comes from Great Britain, where it is cnitivated to a ereat extent for cane use alone. When used ing-stick it is never varnished, but carried just as it was pulled. The fancy woods (such as Malacea, Penang, and Waukee bamboos) are generally mounted in gokl or silver with hammered heads, and often costs as much as $30."" “Does the change in the styles of canes ac- count for the cliange in the manner of carry- ing them ?” 5 y of carrying a cane certainly is e y year by some young men, as you will easily see by a walk along Fifth avenue any afternoon. Last: year the fash- ion was to walk with a_ sprightly gait, with bent knees, and arms akimbo as far forward ‘as possibie, and the cane was held between one finger and thumb correctly balanced, so + as to swing gracefully. Oh it was very ¥, ‘The laiest thing, however, intro- duced is still pretti dt is the esthetic style. ‘The cane is held in front of the body by the first and second fingers of both hands and is allowed to hang “limp,” while the el- bows are still further forward and the shoul- ders if possible more round.” Many people who went to Coney Island by the boats from the stone pier near the Battery last sunmer-noticed “an old man who went about erying, *Ginyou-wine Dbiackthorrn sthiekss:* ‘That was ‘Timothy Dwyer, late ot Netiagh, County Tipperary, Ireland.

The Market Firmer, but Very Unsteady for the Day. The Produce Markets Active aud Weak— A General Decline in Bread- stuils and Provisions. The News from the East Caused Distrust of Valnes and a Desire to Sell. FINANCIAL. The market opened active, with large trans- actions—a thing very satisfactory all around. The Vanderbilt brokers bid 127 for Northwestern: St. Paul was firnt, and the Vanderbilts xenerally showed no etfect from the Hoston Bank fuilure of yesterday. It was found, however, that all Stocks were loaned ut6 per cent, thus showing more activity for money likely tooccur tater in the day, and pernaps a lower murket. A very: prominent house in tho Varderblit interest was buying heavily of Lake Shore, while other 200d houses were selling stocks freely, supposed to be for long account. In spite of those contrary currents, it began to be believed that the market would make a sbarp rally before the close. After the first hour the tone of it continued to improve, as there were pressing for sale; there was itement in the Joan crowd, “and everything appeared healthy and stronger, Suddenly the report came from Boston that the Central bad failed. Lively discussion followed and a decidediy nervous feeling prevailed. The truth transpired that the bani bad been or- dered closed by the Examiner; but the Direct- ors declare they will start a new bunk ou Mon- day. This promise bad no effect, and the bears, taking advantage of the situation, sold tho mar- ket down freely. But in this rnid jt.was noticed that they only forced down the fancies and the Gould stocks. The Vanderbilis were remarka- bly steady, and much of what strength the mar- ket had was due to this fuct. The Grangers were also well sustained. Northwestern, with large transactions, showed a decline of only 3, and St. Paul weakening wut very litde. The weaker stocks were Northern Pacifle, Kansas & Texas, Pacitie Mail, Veoria, Danville & Eastern, Denver & Rio Grande, ‘Texas Pacitie, and Missouri Pacific. Sonic of the Strong stocks also fell, off —v Alton, Hlinois Central, and Chieigo, Burlington & Quincy—a thing quite sure tu occur on @ forced market. Burlington, however, rallied sharply, aud was noteasy to huy. ‘Toward the close the bears seemed content with their work,and the Vander- bilts, Northwestern, St. Paul, New York Cen- tral, and sotne others rallied strongly. It is be- lieved that the stocks sold for the last day or two have gone Inte . strong — bands, as weak parties do not buy on sucha market. There was much discussion 2s tothe condition of the future market, some thinking it is likely to go lower, while others be- lieve vottom prices pure been reached for the present. This is of course but the usual gossip. ‘The gains for the day were on Michisan Central, Kansas & Texas, St. Paul, and Northwestero 1g Gs, and a decline in Qmaha-and ‘Texas Pacitie 3@2;. Though tne decline has been compara- tively small for good stocks, the market has bad feart{ul punishment for the past tio days, and closed * feverish.” The prices ruling for the day may be found in the following table: Onen=| High- | Low- | Clos- Stocks. ing. | ext. | est. | tng.

Boston scems to be next on the list of bank failures. The Pacific went down Friday un- dera load of $700,000 loaned on insuilicient se- curity to Theodore F, Weeks, a mining-shark operator. Another bank—wus it the Central that went down yesterday?—was said to have put up $500,000 on Weeks. There is the old story of gambling in stocks, and mining stocks at that. The fact is, the staid old City of Boston has for years been taking large ventures in mining stocks, Southern railways, and other. risky operations. It will bo wellif the Boston banks and capitalists have no further trouble. It is reported that the stockholders and not de- positors are likely to lose by these failures. Of course there {sa vast amount of solid cap- tal and solider honesty in Boston, and no one need expect any serious disaster thereaway. . At the Chicago banks money wus a abundant, but the demand was active, and discounts were drm at 7@S per cent. New York exchange was active, with larger dealings between banks at par@ 25e premium per 31,000. To customers, as usual, at par.

The chief, and perhaps the ouly, reason was the news from the East, where public confidence seemed to be much unsettled by the additional fatlures in Boston, and stocks weakening in consequence. The news intensitled the bear feeling here in the case of those who were already inclined that way, and converted aeveral of the stalwarts to the same way of thinking. Ther cold quite freely, and their offerings broke prices on mar- kets where the edge of demand had already been dulled by the news, ang there were very few outside orders to buy.

The. Boston Ideal Company Offer Another Week of Light Opera. - : “Patience” to Be Produced at Hav. erly’s in the True London ~ Style, Local Musical Matters and News from All Parts of the World. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE. The Boston Ideal company has drawn very large houses during the past week. - Especially is this true of the performancesof * The Chimes of Normandy” and of “Olivette,’ when the house was literally packed, although both nihts the weuther was stormy and disagreeable. The success of this company only serves to again cmphbusize the fnct that popular taste is quick to appreciate real merit.
