NEW YORK, Oct. 8 _To-day's stock merket was exclusively In tue hands of the profess'onal traters aod contained noihing of siguificance in its besring on the general covdition of the coun- iry. The marke’ was inactive and the movement of prices was slusgish. Trading was almost stag- Den: at times. The traders did the best they could to influence prices by manipulative buying and seliing and by dissemination as news of tumors of their respeciive hopes and jears. The only re- sponse of sny moment was shown In special casvs, with a sligh sentimental effect on the gen- erallist, but the professionals were unable to in- duce any following and in meeting their earlier cotracts carried prices b-ck to near the starting point. One of the special siocks affected was Pacific Malil, which declined at one time 214 on account of the deciine iu earnings shown by its September statement. The stock recovered to within a frac- tion of last night’s close. Sugar, after a substan- tial gain, fell 234 points, but uiso recovered to a net decline of a fraction. The coaleis as & group were weak on the unsatisfactory condition cf the trade. Noiw.thstanding recover.es near the close thelr met losses were & point or over.

The Lawrences were ou: driving when their horse, frightened by a piece of paper, broke into a farious run. "Felix, the family’sdog, was along and, running ahead of the fiy- ing horse, he sprang at its head, without effect. Then the persistent dog made a bolder leap, secured a grip on the horse’s nose, and brought the frightened animal to a halt opposite a farmhouse, where sey- eral men hastened to the rescue.—Phila- delphia Record, —————— THE CALL CALENDAR, October, 1897, Fr. |Sa.| Moon’s Phases. 2| /) First Quarter] = Oct. 2.
