Y., Sept 15.—The stock market opened decidedly 8:rong on (he Meine election and higher cables from London. The | prominent issues advauced about a point, the | shor's being the larges purchasers. When the de- | mand from this source abated :he trad rs who are bearishl: inclined for the moment star ed In to sell. In the absence of suppor: they had littie dit- ficuity in bringing aboul a lower range of prices. There was also considerable selinz by hoiders | who were disappointed on account oi the rather feeble response made by the market to yesterday’s election In Jaine, and this was of assistance to the bear manipulators. ‘Tobacco bore the brunt of the attack and feil fron, 6374 10 5934.

Kumors of an advanc- in the Bank of England rate of discount on Thursday and of the embarrassmen: of a bi. dry-goods firm in this city were used sgainst the market. The report of trouble in the dry- cods trade, however, could not be confirmed. At the decline there was moderate buying of the difidend-p.y- ers, due 1o statem-nts that the commercial condi- tions in New England were Improvi g. ieport Lad it that a number of mills employing about 12,000 hends intended starting up shor:ly. 1his was not without its Influence in some quar ers.

Sept. 15.—The wheat crowd wasdisappolnted this morning, prices not display- ing any buoyancy whatever, but on the contrary inclinfug 10 sag and decline. Much wheat has been bought lately on the expectation that a boom was in proceas of deveiopment, but the evidence of & bulze was fainter this morning than aiany time within & week. Consequently speculaiors were disposed to sell out and awail & more favor- able occasion. The Maine election was encourag- ing to some, but, as a rule, not a great amount of importance was attached 'to it, the resuit having been avticipated. Northwestern receipts were beavy at 1474 cars. scalnst 1395 on the corre- sponding day a year ago. Chicago received 357 cars, and inspected out 2885 bushels. Liverpool were ail higher.

The bond series will consi.t of 120 bonds, amounting in the uggregate to_$18,000. Yesterday was the date for the sale of $5500 school bonds of Rocky View School District in Tu- lare County, these beldg 8 per cents, the interest being payable annually. The bonds are of the de- nom nation of $1100 each. The first is payable January 1, 1902 and one is payable each year thereafier until all shall have been paid. Tie ~an Bernardino Sun says finally that the Rialto Irrication distr.c: will aisband The peoyle of the district met a few days ago and by & unaui- mous vote determined to accept the offer mad-- by the bondholders, which was the necessaiy step Lo be taken to reach a decls.ve resuit. The Rialtu irnigation district con ists of about 3500 acres of land. When it was first formed into an irrigation district it was determined to issue bonds to the amount 0 $500,000 and to put in a system of irri- gating ditches, together with a water supply, which would be unegualed in ~outhern California. 'Of the total issue of $500,000 $4)5,000 are held by various corporaiions, while $95,000 never has been signed up and delivered. The larger holdings of bunds are as follows: San Union, $65,000: N. W. Sto Los_Angeles, $120,000; German-American Savings Bank, Los Angeles, 845, Sta e Loan and Trust Com- pany, Los Angeies, 845,000: John Shirley Ward, Los Angeles, $3 ,000: and J. M. Pirile, Los ‘Angeles, 810,000, "I'he offer «f the bondholders is practically this: Thal they wil: take the property of (he aistrict and surrender the bonds. The bond- holuers have formed a corporation and they. will make up all the indebtedness of the district and get their returns by seiling water to the ranchers and fruit-growers of the district, but d-aling with them as 1dividyals raiher than xs members of the district. At the mee:ing of owners of land fifty- six owners were present and the sentiment was entirely favorable 1o accepting the offer which has been made. The case of J. B. Ruggles as assignee of the es- tate of J. H. Wilgus of \\inters (this State) against W. J. Kannedy and the Bank of Winters hus been appenied to the Supreme Court. The case is sald to involve novel points. ‘The California Safe Deposit and Trust Company bas filed wich the County Recorder of Sacramento County a mortgage given 1o it by the Sacramento Electric, Gas and Kallway Company to secure the payment of $2,000,000. Tue mortzage runs for thirty years and bears interest at 6 per cent, payable semi-annuaily, and the properiy given as security cousis.s of all the lines of street-railways in Sacramen 0, with depots. bul dings, rolling stock. machinery, dynamos, all rights, privileges and franchises, all right and title in the wa er rignt on the American Kiver «nd all property owned in Folsom. The Sacramenio Bee explains that this transaction is said o be simply an issue ©of new bonds in the name of the new consolldated company Lo cover the bonds outstanding of the several corporations which were recently consoii- dated. The Supervisors of San Luls Obispo County have ado,ted the sdvic- given them by special counsel who was inutructed to investigate the bonded indebtedness of the county. and have or- dered that there sball be created four funds. These funds afe the County Government Fund, Act of '91 iond Fund, the Special itoad Bond Eiuking Fund and the Poijtical Code Bond Fund. In accordance with this plan, and ance of recommendation given by sel, the sum of 334,787 27 bas been transferred by order aiopied by the Supervisors to the credit of these fuuds, being apvortioned as foliows: Special Road Bond Sinking Fund, $34,000; Politicai Code Bond Fund, $500; County Government Act of 1881 Bond Fund, $200; €ouniy Government Act ©f 1881 Bond Fund, $87 27.

Few things impressed me more, as a boy, than the singular notion the wooden theologians departed had of what was a joke and an incisive saying. The word was generally pronounced as though spelled insissive. “Did you hear,” said one of them to myself, being a youthful arson, “of the iremendous hit that r. Bahoo gave to Holofernes Mac- Pusher? He said to Holofernes, ‘Are not you the minister of St. Silas Fixings? ‘Yes’ ‘And your brother of St. Ananias?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And your father of ) St. Sapphira?’ ‘Yes. *‘And your uncle of Glenstaggers?’ ‘Yes.” ‘And your cousin of Benstodgie?’ ‘Yes,” Then Dr. Bahoo pro- ceeded.’ ‘I hope you may have as many {riends in the church above as you have in the church below.’ It was very cutting and wonderfully witty.” Then my in- formant uttered a loud guffaw, repeatedly exclaiming ‘‘Ha! hal”’ or words to that effect. Ilistened in silence, but sought to put on an expression of due appreciation of « humorous sally., For if I gld uttered my real feeling, which was that here wasa very kind and gooa wish for Holofernes, but that [ could not for my life see any- thing either jocular or cutting in the words used, should have made an assured enemy.—Longman’s Magazine. —————— Bicycles are creating a good deal of new law in Great Britain. In England they bhave been declared to be vehicles. In Scotland, in a case to recover insurance for death due to a bicycle accident, they have been declared 10 be not vehicles, the Judge declaring that they could be no more considered such than skates.
