COMMERCIAL NEWcf.
Stocks and Bonds in New York
Grain and Provision Markets
of Chicago.
New York, Nov. . 1. The stock mar
ket was nervous to-day and responded
quietly to outside conditions, except for
American Sugar, which, acted directly
contrary to the current news on the
property. The stock was in ! demand
throughout and advanced from 84 J to
86, closing at $6, a gain of 2 per cent,
for the day. The advance took; place in
the face of another reduction in refined,
making a cut of fc for the past ten
days. The rise was generally attributed
to insiders who, the street has it, are
expecting a favorable decision in the
matter of the reyenue tax on i German
sugars, The general list displayed a
firm undertone, the market recovering
quickly from the bear attacks. This
contingent hammered the Grangers and
New Jersey Central at times, hut they
did not succeed in shaking out long
stock, as on the previous days of the
week. The impression is gradually
gaining ground that the big bears have
taken advantage of the break in the
coalers and NorthwestexxLia -materially
3 j 1 f . I . 1 " .. ; a
reuuee tneir snort lines, preieriug w
have their house in order so as to be
prepared for whateyer the election may
bring forth. The news to-day generally
favored those operating for higher prices.
The Louisville and Nashville September
statement showed a net increase of $25,-1
C03. The New York Central for the
September quarter earned 1.15 per cent,
on the' stock, which was much better
than expected. The Pennsylvania de
clared its regular dividend, and the de
posit of Reading securities under the
Earle-Olcott plan was fairly large. The
death of the Czar had no effect. Read
ing securities were in good demand for
Philadelphia account and an advance of
1 to If per cent ensued. Northwestern
ranged between 99 and 1G0 and left off
at 100. Officials here say - the 1 question
of the December dividend has not been
considered and will not be until the full
return for the five months from June 1 ,
1894, and the prospects for the first half
of 1895 are known. Another bear argu
ment on the stock was exploded to.day,
the Mutual Life Insurance company
having denied that it sold any of the
stock. The fact also developed that only
one insurance company in the State
holds the stock. This company an
nounced early in the week that it
had not parted with any of its holdings,
Manhattan was stronger, rising if per
cent, to 107. The shares command a
premium for use. The sentiment ap
pears to be changing and the recent sel
lers are not so confident of their ability
to shake out long stock, even if the rapid
transit bill should pass next Tuesday,
Among other things, speculative sellers
appear to have overlooked the fact that
the Manhattan company is an eligible
bidder for the contract to construct the
road if the city decides to build. ' In the
late trading Sterling exchange ; stiffened
somewhat and this led to rumors that
some gold would be forwarded to Frame
on Saturday. Un this another attack
was made on the list, Jersey Central run
ning off If per cent, to 93 J ! and 'the
other leading issues i to! per
cent. When the selling ceased prices
advanced briskly and a number of issues
sold at the best of the day. The closing
was firm and a rather confident ; feeling
prevailed- American Cotton Oil, after
an early rise to 27K fell 2 per' cent, to
25. The preferred declined f to 73f.
The selling was based on the report for
the year ended August 31, 1894, which
was presented at the stockholders' meet
ing to-day and showed a surplus of f 5b,
617, against $507,751 in 1893, and $1,333,
01 L in 1882. Net changes in the general
list show gains of i to 2 per cent, Ameri
can Sugar leading. American Cotton
Oil lo3t ii, preferred , and Evansville
and Terre Haut and American Coal 2
per cent. each. The total sales were only
159,000 shares, but the business was bet
ter distributed than of late. The bond
market was active and higher. The sales
of listed stocks aggregated 107,000
shares; unlisted, 52:0J0. j
Chicago, Nov. 1. lhe falling otf in
the receipts of wheat at the primary
markets is beginning to have its natural
effect on prices of that grain. Begin
ning with the first transactions and con
tinuing, with one or two short periods of
intermission, there was a market of con
vincine strength until the last trades
were made to-day. In addition to the
benefit which prices derived from the
decreasing supplies, there was also some
assistance furnished " by the inclination
of corn to advance. The death of the
Czar caused a quick up turn of about ic,
part of which, in the ordinary course of
business, was afterwards lost, but a full
recovery took place before the close,
prices at that time being at the outside
for the day. December wheat opened
at 52lc4 advanced to 53c, closing at the
latter. 4c over yesterday. Cash wheat
was firm and 4c higher.
The rains and their probable effect on
the movement of corn incited prices to
advance to-day. The bulls had every
encouragement to buy. No obstruction
to the upward course was encountered
during the session and at the close almost
the full appreciation was sustained. May
dorn opened at 50Jc, sold between 50 to
591c and closed at oli to olf, fc over
vesterdav. Cash corn was 6teady.
Those who bought oats were rewarded
with a fair profit to-day. The shorts
were a trifle uneasy and covered quite
extensively. The motive came from tne
advancing wheat and corn markets, no
imnortant news on oata beinz received.
May closed f to ic higher than yesterday,
Cash oata were steady.
The price of product held well to-day
in the race cf weakness in the live hog
market at the yards. Mo doubt there
would have been less ability to maintain
nuotarions had it not been for uie
ttrength evidenced by grain, which had
an indirect or sympathetic influence
over provisions. The close was 2Jc
higher than yesterday for January pork

Czar's heart began to enfeeble rapidly.
About 1:39 o'clock unconsciousness super
vened and the action of the heart became
intermittent and scarcely" perceptible,
until its pulsations ceased altogether. '
London, Nov. 1. The announcement
gfjtbe. death of the Czar. was officially
communicated by wire from Livadia to
Marlborough house, the residence of the
Prince of ' Wales, but no particulars of
his death were given. -.V:

Washington, Nov. 1. Alexander HI,
"Emperor of All the Russias,' who suct,
ceeded to the throne on the murder of
his father by Nihilist conspirators on
March 13, 1881, was born March 10,
1845. For some time after his elevation
to the throne he seldom appeared in pub
lic, but lived in the closest retirement at
Gatchina, being in constant dread of the
machinations of the secret societies of
the Socialists. His coronation took place
at Moscow May 27, 1883. He married,
in 1866 Mary Feodorovna (formerly Mary
Sophia Frederica Dagamar) daughter of
Chrisitan IX, King of Denmark, and sis
ter of the Princess of Wales and the King
of Greece.
The principal cortcern of the Czar was
to put down Nihilism, to develop the
military power of I Russia, to organize
her Asiatic and Caucasian provinces,
and to keep a steady eye upon Constan
tinople, rrom the beginning of his
reign periodical attempts upon his life
were made by the Nihilists. Twice offi
cers in his own army tried to shoot him.
In lbaa he and his family narrowly es
caped death in a railway accident near
Bouki. The train was thrown from the
track and many passengers killed, but
the Imperial party were hardly injured.
The derailing of the train was supposed
to be tbe work of Nihilists. Last sprif g
a plot was formed in Finland to blow up
the castle which the Czar was expected
to occupy during the fall manoeuvres
around Smolensk. The police are still
busy hunting down the conspirators.
The Czar was deeply religious, tie
was under the influence of such bigots as
Pobodonoszeff , Attorney General of the
Holy Synod, and his group, and perse
cuted the Jews, Catholics and German
Lutherans in Russia without cessation or
mercy. He inherited, with his Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Prince Gortchakoff,
a strong prejudice against the Germans,
which was increased by the agitation of
the Pan-slavist war party in his capital.
Nevertheless he held fast to a peace
policy. La9t year he reached an under
s tanking with France during the visit of
the Kussian fleet at ioulon. and ever
since Russia and r ranee have been re
garded as constituting a "dual alliance"
counterbalancing on the Continent the
power of the "triple alliance." Nothing
has been published, however, to show
that any formal agreement between the
two powers was signed or that the Czar
pledged Russia to help France in recov
ering Alsace ana Lorraine from tier
many. -
The t'zar left five cmidren, the urown
Prince Nicholas, 27 years old; the Grand
Duke George, now ill in the South of
Russia; the Grand Duchesses Xeny and
Olgia, and the Grand Duke Michael, a
boy in his teens. .

Times of to-morrow. The author of the
sketch was on intimate terms of friend
ship with the Czar, and he says that the
latter never had the slightest sympathy
with high culture, adding
fnaeea, tne uzar ratner gtonea in
the idea of being of tbe same rough tex
ture a3 the majority of his subjects, and
if he knew that he was sometimes disre
spectfully called 'The' Peasant Czar,' he
regarded this ephithet as a compliment
His 6tra'ghtforward, abrupt manner,
savoring gometimes of gruff ness, and bis
harmonized well with his rough-hewn,
immobile features and somewhat slug'
ish movements. The impression that
e eenerailv made in donyarsation was

The writer then alludes to the Czar's
strong anti German feeling from the
time he was Czarewitch. and save;
But he always had pacific intentions,
He feared that Russia might be made the
victim of a coup dCetat of the young

quite ready to make use of the: entente
for diplomatic purposes, , he had no in
tention of letting himself be dragged
into war."
Washinctton, Nov. 1. Prince Cante
cuzene, the Russian Minister, received
the following telegram fromM. de Giers,
the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
th afternoon:
4 "St. Petersburg. Nov. 1.
' It has pleased -our Lord to recall to
Hifel our much beloved i Sovereign. Al
exander III., died at Livadia this after
no4n at 1:55 o'clock."." ;
Prince Cantecuzene ! formally for
warded a copy of the telegram to the
Department of State here at a late hour.
No;action will probably be taken at that
department before to-morrow. President
Cleveland was absent from the White
House, haying started early in the morn
ing for a day's squirreling in Maryland.
Iaris, Nov. 1. The first news of the
Czar's death came to Paris in an official
despatch to the Foreign Office. It was
simply that the Czar died at 1:'5 o'clock
p. m. and was conscious to the last. The
despatch was shown at once to President
Casimir-Perier. H ead it, laid it down
aat after a long shence said: "France's
strong and loyal friend." :
- Signs of mourning have multiplied
ever since the news was made public.
La Presse, Le Jour and La Soir issued
special editions with black borders.
Ail sold as - rapidly as they could " be
brought to the street. The booths and
newsmen were surrounded by ea&er
crowds struggling to buy papers before
the supply was exhausted . -
La Presse' s comment was : AllFrench
patriots will ba grieved by this Bad news.
The; mourning will extend throughout
France. The Czar was a sincere par
tisan of peace and a devoted f riend of
our country. Our sorrow is unutterably
deep, but there is no reason for despair,
as the heir df Alexander III will recog
nize the do3e bond uniting France and
Kussia. The sorrow of France will be
the most convincing evidence to the son
and the Sovereign that the union of the
nations, which for years has assured
peace, must remain and guarantee peace
in the future." - .
Yalta, Nov., 1. The Czar was told on
Tut sday that he could live only a few
days more. lie listened composedly
During the rest of the day he passed
most of the time in disposing of his Per
sonal and family affairs. Then he
calmly awaited the end, with his con
sciousness broken only occasionally with
short periods of coma. Yesterday morn
ing he looked for the last time from the
windows of the palace. He was long
silent; then he said it was pleasant to
feel that he could pass his last hours on
Russian soil. Last night he had no sleep.
He was racked constantly by violent
coughing and hemorrhages. Hi3 heart
grew so weak, that it often seemed to
have stopped beating. ' ,
These i distressing symptoms became
accentuated at 10 o'olock this morning,
but Bhortly afterward he rallied slightly.
He was fully conscious He wished the
Sacrament to be given in the presence of
the family and receiyed the Viaticum
witn grateiui iervor. An nour and a
half later ' he was seized with violent
spasms. It seemed as if death had come.
but he rallied again and at 12:30 o clock
he appeared to be free from pain even
comfortable. But the weakening heart
beats and breathing told his physicians
that the end was coming fast. He was
conscious almost to the last moment, At
2:15 o'clock his eyes closed slowly and he
ceased breathing.
The body will be embalmed in Livadia
to-night and will be exposed in the palace
chapel for a. day or two.
Several state othcials left St. Peters
burg for Livadia this afternoon. Ac
cording to the tentative arrangement
made to-night the body will be conveyed
aboard the Imperial vacht Polar Star, to
Odessa, it will be escorted by the whole
Black sea fleet, which hag orders to as
semble.at once off Yalta. From Odessa
the body will be taken on a special train
to St. Petersburg and will be placed in
the cathedral of St. Peter and St. .Paul.
The final ceremonies will be held prob
ably in about two weeks.
It is understood that Alexander II will
be proclaimed to-morrow; and the Grand
Duke Nicholas jwiIt be declared tbe
heir. ' ! - 'J
Paris. Nov. 1'. This evening there is
but one absorbing topic on the boule
vards and in the theatres. If the Presi
dent of the Republic were dead the ex
pressions of regret could not be more
general, f The probable effect of the
event of the Ruseo-French alliance and
the European, situation in general is dis
cussed by every group in the streets or
cafes. The views are almost without ex
ception optimistic. ; The belief is that
Nicholas will adopt his father s policy.
The Czar's death will be announced
officially to the Deputies and Senators on
Monday 'at the opening of the Chamber.
Doubtless an address or condolence win
be drawn and passed by the Chambers.
The Ministers will meet to-morrow to
name delegates to tbe funeral and to
consider: other-- matters in. connection
with the Czar s death. A requiem mass
will be said in tbe Russian church to
morrow. An official despatch received
by the Russian Embassy this evening says
that the Czar died at 3:13 q clock.
London, Nov l.-rThe Daily News cor
respondent in Yalta, who, throughout
tbe Czar s sojourn there, has obtained the
most trustworthy and interesting inf or
mat ion, has sent this deenatch;
"The Czar died at 2:15 o'clock this
afternoon, He was fully conscious,
When be felt that bis last hour was an
proaching he asked for extreme unction.
This was administered by Father Ivan
who afterward conversed with the dying
man for some time. The Czar next asked
that his family should gather around
him, He spoke with each member separ
ately, hut at the greatest length with the
Czarina, He then gave all his blessing.
Finally he bade all farewelL Little by
little he grew weaker. His voice at last
became hardly audible. Soon after he
passed away quietly. The oath of alle
giance to Nicholas II was then adminis
tered td the whole family, and at 4:30
o'clock oannen wpto tired to announce
ha fact to tl e world." 1
After confirming, the death and the
funeral arrangements already described,
the correspondent adds t' j
t 'The entire seventh army corps will
pay military honors to the dead Emperor
when the body shall be embarked at
Yalta, i The tram from Odessa to St.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
An Express Train Held Up in Missis
sippi-The Robbers Make a Poor x
- Haul.
Washington, Nov. 1. A special from
Birmingham, Ala., says: ' As passenger
train No. 3, on the Kansas City, Memphis
ana liirmingham railroad pulled out of
the6tationat New Albany, Miss., at 1
o'clock this morning three masked men
jumped on the engine and entering the
cab covered Engineer Cumnhell and
Fireman Alexander with nisrnla Th
robbers commanded the engineer to stop
the train when it had reached a point
half a mile from the station. The en
gineer and fireman were marched back
to the exprees car under cover of revol
vers and ordered to break open the door
of the car with a coal pick. The train
cre w were alarmed at the stopping of the
cram at tnis unusual place and Conductor
Leonard went to investigate. When be
showedjup the robbers fired at him. He
fled back to the coaches. Then the rob
bers fired a volley in the air to intimi
date the rest of the crew and passengerr ,
Entrance was finally effected into the
express car and Messenger Genette forced
to hand out the contents of the safe.
The robbers then backed cut of the
car and jumped from the platform, still
holding thir pistols on the messenger ar d
enginemen. The robbers are believed to
be farmers living, m the vicinity, Tie
express officials say that the package s
secured by the robbers contained only
railroad way bills and cheap jewelry,
and that they got no money. All that
the robbers secured was a $0 package of
jewelry. The express company will,
however, make an effort to catch the
party. " .
The Son's Cotton Review. ' .
New York, Nov. 1. The Sun's cotton
review says: Cotton declined 1 tp 2
points, but recovered this and advanced
4 to 5 points, closing steady at a rise of 3
to 4 points. Sales were 90,000 bales.
Cotton goods are sellieg a little mora
freely. Manufacturers of linings are
working over time to catch up with
orders. Russian mills have i begun pay
ing dividends of 20 per cent, and over,
and ma kin 2 profits in some cases nf m
per cent, Uerman and French manufaf-
turers haye been carrying very email
stocks of raw cotton. American cotton,
its friends contend, is the cheepest in the
world and not only that, it gives the best
resuds. Some of the private cables from
Liverpool were bearish. Fattman &
Schwartz sold, supposed to be for Conti
nental account. The bears are, as a
rule, timid about selling. Most of them
are waiting like Micawber, for "some
thing to turn up." The strike at New
UrleanB is said to be impeding the move
ment of the crop somewhat. A pound
of yarn made from American cotton is
worth 40 per cent, 'more than
a pound of yarn from East India cotton.
Last India supplies are comparatively
small. Lgyptian is' relatively higher
man American. Exports from this
country continue large. To-day they
were 42,282 bales to Great Britain, 12,190
to France, and 21,186 to the Continent;
total 75,653 bales, or 25,000 more than to
day's receipts at the ports. Bombay re
ceipts for the week were 2,0 JO bales,
against 8,000 for the same week last
year; total since January 1st, 1,578,000,
against i,oso,tuu for tbe same time last
year. , Bombay shipments suce January
1st are 47,000 bales to Great Britain and
44.C00 for the same I time last year,
while to the Continent they were 751.000
ana :4oz,jvj. iNew 1 xork stock in
licensed warehouses is 3.809 bales.
against 116,702 a year ago and 255J500 at
this time m 1893. Port receipts were
50,391 bales, against 61,713 this day last
week and dt. 44 last year; total thus far
this week 351,629, against 328.470 for
the same time last year. Port receipts
for the week have been estimated as
high as 425,000. Some think they will
not be reached. Port Royal reports a
shipment of 6,505 bales to Liverpool.
Lxports from the ports this season to
last night were1,089,633 bales, against
Boy.twB ior tne eame time last yean The
short interest in this country partly
against sales to Europe and milling of
the United States is believed to be very
large. Some expect large receipts at tbe
ports next week. New Orleans receipts
to-morrow are estimated at lS.uuu to 14,.
000 bales. .
One firm said : "A let up in the move
ment is necessary to sustain prices, but
no material decline j 13 looked for. A
large demand for actual cottonwill no
doubt be felt when the idea becomes
general that prices are at the bottom
Eastern mills continue to buy freely and
we are advised from Boston that they
have purchased enough to last till the
hrst of h ebruary, but it must be remem
bered that they always xarry a few
months supply." !'
A telegram from New Orleans this
afternoon from a correspondent there
6ays that reports from everywhere tell of
the enormous moyement and next week
promises to be nearly as large as this.

Pneumatic 5 Gallon Oil Can,,
THE NAIL CITY CAN IS MADE OF HEAVY GALVANIZED IRON BEING DOUBLE
seamed, making it one of the strongest Cans on the market; and is fitted for both
Oil and Gasoline. IT 18 NOT A PUMP CAN, but works entirely by air pressure.
The plunger never comes in contact with the oU. The principle on which tbe Can
is made ia entirely new, and has never been employed in the use of oilcans before.
To fill the Lamp place the end of the epout in the opening of the Lamp. Take hold
- of the wooden knob on the end of the plunger in the center of the Can and draw ik
upward as far as it will go. Close the opening in the end of tbe plunger with the!
thumb or palm of the hand and press the plunger downward to the bottom of the
' Can. Keep the opening in the planger closed and sufficient oil will then flow from J
the spout to fill a Lamp of ordinary size. ,
