Oct. 26 J The great fair came to an end to day. Your correspondent asked the Commis sioner of Agriculture his opinion of it. "The best I ever saw. I consider it was his answer! - . The attendance at the fair to-day was good, yet seemed email in comparison with the great rush of yesterday. People of course had a much better opportunity to view the exhibits. ! V The re-election by acclamation of President JulianS. Carr and Secretary Hah W. Ayeri gives satisfaction tojevery- body. President Carr gives his; pledge that the next fair shall be even better than this one.! The effect of the fair has been distinctly good on all the State. , Professor W. :F. Massey, of the Agri cultural and Mechanical college, left this afternoon for Yaldese, the Waldehsian lony in Burke county. Reports have kome of the bad condition . of 'the colo nists there, owing to the poor land and lack of Knowledge of farming methods, The purpose of Professor Massey's visit is to inquire into the true condition of the colonists and to give them advice and any other aid in his power. Four convicts from Bladen county arrived at the penitentiary this morning. The arrivals during this month have not been numerous.! Two accidents to freight trains are re ported. A train on the Raleigh and Augusta division of the Seaboard An iline broke and the rear section ran into the first, wrecking five cars. At Morris ville several cars were wrecked last night. ' i Incmirv was imade to-day of several cotton planters jas to what proportion of the crop is picked. They said they thought about two-thirds. The crop is turning out well and a great deal of picking has been done within the-past fortmehr. TheNorth Carolina Confederate Vet erans' association was in cession until a late hour last night at the Capitol, and the attendance i was gratifyingly large, President E. D. Hall delivered the annual address. It was decided that a tax of; 10 cents on each member be levied. , A committee composed of Messrs. S. A. Ashe. T. S. Kenan. A. C. Avery, F II. Busbse and J. S. Carr were appointed to prepare a constitution and by-lawn? Several speeches were made, among the speakers being Messrs. Wharton J. Green, Graham Dave3, Peter E. Hine3 and John CJiirdsong. Judge Walter Clark was requested "to secure from soldiers of each of the regi ments, battalions, etc., a history of the organization in order that this matter may ba used in the preparation of a his tory. and iipon motion of Capt.

Stock and . Bonds in New York Grain and Proyision Markets of Chicago. ' ' ' ' ' ' Neat York, Oct. 26. There wad a falling off in business to-day at the Stock iiXChange, the total sales having amounted to . 84,000 shares, against 91,000 yesterday. Speculation opened steady and then an improvement in the railway list followed. The gain made, however, was unimportant, ranging from J to per cent. London was a teller of St. Paul during the first hour, bat a local firm took 5,000 shares of the stock and this neutralized the foreign liquidations. The stock was taken, it is said, for a prominent bear, who has quit the Grangers for the high priced coalers. The latter were "again.- weak and lower. The bears appear to be feeling their way in their issues, preparatory to a vigorous campaign later on, based on the de moralization in coab prices, which, they anticipate, will follow the policy or un limited production. - They are proceed ing cautiously, however, as their expe rience in this' group of late years has been anything but pleasant. New Jersey Central declined 2f per cent, to 102f and rallied to 103 to 103. Deleware ard Hudson dropped 2 per cent, to 125, recovered to 126 and closed at 126. Lackawanna fell 1 to 162 and Beading i to 16 to 16k The sale3 of these Btocks were 16,000 shares. Manhattan, after advancing! per cent. tol07, fell to 1U5 and recovered to 1U6 to 106 in the afternoon. Northwestern was run down 14 per cent, to 102k and some doubt was expressed as to' the ability of the com pany to pay its usual dividends of 3 per cent, at the close of the year. Very little attention was paid to the rumor in usually well informed quarters for the reason that the bears have been predict ing the same thing about every promi nent road in the country ever since the business depression set in. Sales pred icated on this so-called information have proven costly before this, and unless signs fail will again in the case of North western. Speculation left off steady. The general list shows net losses for the day of 4 to per cent. Reading lost f ; Lackawanna lost 1 and Delaware and Hudson 2 per cent. St. Paul gained 4 and Big Four 4 per cent. The railway and miscellaneous bond market closed higher. N Chicago. Oct. 26. The business in wheat to-day was of. the sort that is usually seen when there is a scaicity of news and a lack of interest. It was the kind that Btamps the trade with the mark of unimportance, i Although prin cipally local, there was, nevertheless, some outside interest exhibited, JNew York doing a little buying. One promi nent bear operator did a moderate amount of covering, his transactions, in the bight of the inactivity prevailing, be ing considered somewhat of a feature, as they were of sumcient proportion to sus tain prices, the holders of calls con tributing enough wheat to check any prospective advance. December wheat opened from 52 to 52fc, sold between 52Jc and 52fc, closing a shade over yes terday at o2c. Cash wheat was steady. Prices were unchanged. 1 After the opening orders m corn had been executed the trade lapsed into dullness, which lasted throughout the balance of the day, the pit bearing the appearance of absolute desertion at times. May corn opened at 4'JJc, sold between 50 and 49$c, and closed at 492 to 49c, a slight fraction , higher than yes terday. Gash'corn was 4c higher. The market for oats to day was not under the influence of heavy- selling. such as was seen during the earlier por tion of the week. It is believed that very nearly, if not all, of the oats held oy tne Diina pool, or syndicate, as it is called, which was mentioned yesterday, have gone overboard. There was less of a pressure to sell. Prices held their own to-day, the firmness in wheat and corn markets I doing much to' preserve? the tone.

At the roponing the leeiing was iainy steaay; out upon an attempt of a large commission house to sell pork, the crowd slipped f ronyinder and the prices settled down. It is said that the farm alluded to were anxious to dispose of about 5,000 barrels of pork, but that they succeeded in disposing of 1.000 barrels. A decidedly bearish senti ment was rampant, and buying, except to cover, was looked upon as a mild form of insanity.

Washington, Oct. 26. Commodore Self ridge and the inspection board have reported to Secretary Herbert that the Machias was found in nearly perfect con dition, and that her crew were suffi ciently well drilled for active service if any such emergency arose. Secretary Herbert: will promptly issue sailing orders for the ship to .join the Asiatic squadron," -.-.;" "--,'. A tnaval court-martial will meet at Mare Island next 'Tuesday and try the executive and navigating officers of the cruiser Adams on charges preferred by Secretary Herbert. Lieut.- Charles F. Norton, who was temporarily in com mand of the Adams while her com mander, Capt, J.,' J. Brice ' was ill, is charged with neglecting on August 2nd, when near the Pribyloff islands to make allowances for currents known to exist and thereby stranding the ship; also for neglecting to take soundings, although he. knew he was near land, and the weather was too foggy to take sights; also for failiDg to run his vessel at mod erate speed, in violation ' of the interna tional regulations for preventing col lisions at sea. Lieut. Wm. P. Elliott, the navigating officer, is charged with culpable inefficiency, the specifications being similar to those against the execu tive officer. The Adamsi, after being aground twenty-four hours, was hauled on by the united otforts or the Jretrel. Concord and Yorktown, and was towed 1,100 miles to port by the last named cruiser. The preliminary trial of the Hurst gun, designed for hnng a multi-charge cartridge, took place at the naval proving ground at Indian Head to-day. Capt Sampson, chief of the bureau of ord nance, of the Navy Department, and several of his aides conducted the trial. Wm. Hurst, the inventor, and several others witnessed it. , Another case of smallpox was devel oped among the Government clerks this morning. James J. farcer, or Indiana, a law clerk in the division of the Interior Department where the firsc cases were reported, was the victim. Secretary Smith issued directions to day to have the Department closed to morrow. This action was tafeen before the secretary was aware of the new case. He said that the order' to close was on account of the fumigation of several rooms in the building, which was very disagreeable to the persons employed in the buildicg. In consequence of the discovery of the new case, tne Department closed this at ternoon, as each fresh case become trace able to contact with persons employed n the Department. The patients in tie hospital are reported as doing well. The President held his hrst Cabinet meeting since the first week in Septem ber to-day. All of the members were present, except Secretary Morton, who is in Europe. Naturally they had much business to lay before., the .President that had accumulated in his absence from Washington, Secretary Gre3ham in par ticular being charged with several mat ters concerning foreign relations, and all the Secretaries wishing to discuss the leading points to be treated in their annual reports. - The cash balance in the treasury at the close of business to-day was $112,711,431 ; gold reserve $61,140,539. The increase in the gold reserve to day was about $500,000, and during the last three days $l,624,Ceo To-day's increase was due to purchases of gold by the mints, - Mr. Sheenan on the Standi New York, Oct. 26. Police Commis sioner Sheehan was the target again to day for Mr, GofFs rapid fire gun3, andf if not sensational, the evidence was de cidedly interesting. Mr. Sheehan was accompanied ta the court room by his brother, Lieutenant Governor bheehan, who remained an interested spectator of the proceedings. Under the long and protracted cross examination which followed, the com missioner several times flatly refused to answer questions on the ground that they had no bearing on the police frauds, the legitimate work ot the committee. After the subject of Long island City contracts had been throughly gone over by Mr. Goff, resulting in nothing directly implicating Mr. Sheehan, but showing a good deal by inference, a jump was taken to New York. , The . question of pool rooms came up and Mr. Sheehan testified that he had investigated those institutions by asking several pool rooms keepers if they had paid money for police protection, but they had answered "no. Mr. Goff then asked Mr. Sheehan if he expected a criminal to come and convict himself. Mr. Sheehan did not reolv. ' Mr. Sbeehan was still on the stand when adjournment was taken thi3 evening. Entombed in a Mine. Iron Mountain, Mich., Oct. 26. One man was instantly siued and eleven others were entomed alive in the Pewabic mine yesterday. The accident was due to the collapse of the sandstone which roofed the room on the fourth level, where the men were at work. All the men that can find room to work have been making herculean efforts to rescue the entombed miners. Some of the-n are still alive, perhaps all, as they have communicated with their rescuers by tapping with hammers on the stone barricade that cuts them off from freedom. They will probably be reached to-night. Death of a Valuable Horse Under Suspicious Circumstances. Boston, Oct. 26. The pacer Jack, owned by George Bngham. of Boston, and Walter H. Hadley, of Somerville, with a record of 2:104. and valued at $10,000, died injhisjstall at Hadley's stabk s in Somerville this morning under sus picious circumstances. The Btable was carefully locked last night. This morn ing the hostler found a scuttle open and the horse writhing in pain. A veteri-; warv surcreon was soon on the spot, but could do nothing. There were many evidences that the stable had been en tered in the night.

Bradsireet's to morrow will Bay: Merchants inter viewed In various portions of the coun try report In some instances the condi tion of business as not having realized anticipations, and at other points that therecant bright outlook for trade is modified. " 4 Such advices are - based in part on the practical conclusion of the fall trade and also on the demand for holiday; goods. ' ! Dealers in drygoods, clothing, groceries, shoes, hats and a few other lines have had relatively the more satisfactory volume of business, although in many instances fault has been found with the total shipped. At the South low prices for cotton con tinue to affect : business unfavorably, many larger merchants being more cau tious as. to granting credits to interior merchants; j; Eastern dry goods jobbers report only low-cost goods moving with any free dom, and the outlook for a settlement of the Fall River strike less favorable. - Among Southern cities, Charleston, Chattanooga and Savannah say trade is Ies3 encouraging,, iwhile at Memphis, Au gusta, Birmingham and Jacks6nville no new features have been developed within wwk. oaies, nowever. nave lm the proved in some line3 at Atlanta, The total bank clearings throughout the United States for the six business days ending with Thursday of this week amount to 1912,000,000, against $950.- 000,000; last week, as compared with $919,000,000 in the corresponding week last year. But when compared with the total for.the like week in October 1892, the decrease is seen to be $258,000,000 or 22 per cent. !

WHAT WILL HE DO? SPECULATION AS TO MR. CLEVELAND'S INTENTIONS Trouble Between'lthc White and the Black Organizations the Cause ' Ail Ship Loading Stopped. New; Orleans, ; Oct. 26. The screw- men have inaugurated a strike on the river front tc-day. Early during the forenoon every member of the organiza tion put do n his tools and work was at once stopped. The trouble grew out of the recent difficulties between the whites and blacks. The screwmen, white and black, some years !ago were on terms of utmost harmony,1; Trouble has been brewing between them for some time, howeyer. : The appearance at the front of firms of negro stevedores hiring negro screwmen : has served to - accentuate the trouble, and the white screw men have been charging . that the negroes have -been cutting rates and that the whites are losing ground, owing to the influx of labor. ' The white and the black organizations parted company . some time ago and a fortnight back the white screwmen held a meeting and de cided not to. work; any longer for thip agents or other employers of negro labor. The result was that many of the negroes were knock off. To-day every Bhip load ing in the port was stopped and all hands laid off. The trade of the port is for the time-being practically paralyzed and the old trouble that has been fomenting for weeks has developed into what really promisf s to be one of the most disas trous labor disputes that New Orleans has experienced since the great strike of November, isas. ; For some time the nesro screwmen have been cutting rates and offering labor at a cut of 15 cents per bale below the rates heretofore demanded and re ceived by like white organizations. German Ministers Resign. Berlin, Oct. 6. The report that Chancellor VonCaprivi has handed his resignation to the Emperor is confirmed. Count Botho Zu Eulenberg, president'of the Ministerial Council, has also resigned. Prince VonHoehenlohe-Shillingsf urst, Governor of Alsace-Lorraine, has been offered the Chancellorship. The immediate cause of Chancellor VonCaprivi's resignation is not entirely clear.' It is known, however, that the differences between him and Count Botho Zu Eulenberg had grown too sharp to be ignored or compromised. Capri vi at first was strongly opposed to seyere steps against the social Democrats and Anarchists, whileEulenberg favored ex- tremeUneasures, JUnder pressure from tie Emperor, the Chancellor is said to have yielded several points" early in the week, but his master only got him into trouble with the; Federal Ministers, in whose council '. he presided yesterday. Several Ministers opposed his proposal that the Reichstag amend the penal code so as to deal more severely with the Socialists. The Chancellor was equally embarrassed when the question of hnan cial references was broached. The envoys made several demands for changes m the financial relations of the States to tne empire, duc tne Chancellor was manifestly out of ieympathy with all "of them. He is . believed to have been crushed between the Emperor and the Federal envoys, not going far enough to suit the former, and going too far to suit the latter. ; I The San' s Cotton Review. New York, Oct. 26. The Sun's cotton review says: Cotton advanced 4 points, lost this and declined 2 to 4 points, re covered this and advanced 3 to 4 points and closed steady. Sales were 118,900 bales. Liverpool advanced 14 to 2 points, but lost part of this and closed barely, steady at a net advance of 4 to l point, Spot sales were 12,000 bales at unchanged prices. In Manchester yarns and cloths were in moderate demand. New Orleans receipts to-morrow are estimated at 14, 000 to 15,000 bales, against 20,942 on the same day last week and 15,c77 last year. The comparatively email estimate for New Orleans to-morrow, the fear of cold weather, the cheapness of prices, and covering of shorts caused an advance here to-day in spite of large receipts.
