THE FTLTSBTJBG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, .NOVEMBER 8, 189L
T
Commander In Chief Palmer yesterday
made Dublic at Albany Ins much-talkcd-of
rebel flag order. lis essence Is as follows:
"The attention of the Commander In Chief
has been cal'ed to tlio fact that comrades
wearing the badsre and uniform of the Gn-nd
Army of the Ilcpuulio participated in a
recent demonstration w here the Confederate
flac was carried and displav ed. Four long
years you braved all the perils and icUsi
tudes of war to wipe out all that that flag
represented There never was, in the history
of any civilized warfare, such magnanimity
evinced toward a foe as the terms of the sur
render ot Lee's army at Appomattox. TVe
admire the spint which prompts the peo
ple or the South to commemorate the pal
lantry of the men who sacrificed
their lives !n the 'Lost Cause,' but that civil
conflict settled one great question the
battle for the Union was right, the doctrine
of secession was wrong, aud tl o Stars and
Stripes the emblem of liberty, equal rights,
Justice and law, is the only flag which the
level people of tlu great nation respect and
honor. One of the great principles of oar
organization Is to teach the rising genera
tion loyalty to couutry and fidelity to duty.
The Union sold.eis hae repeatedly said to
the soldiers of the Son h: vVo have no de
sire to arouse sectional animosities or pas
sions engendeied bv the war. Give us
loyalty and in return we will give j on fra
ternity.' You hate demonstrated your fra
ternity on numerous occasions, but when
comrade-joined In the recent ceremonies in
honor o' the memory of a patriotic South
ern journalist and philanthropist, thev
found their fraternity confronted with the
emblem of treason," which is an evi
dence to vou thit there still lurks
In the hearts of a few, a desire,
bv the display of that flag, to Are the hearts
o: the voung generation of the- South to re
bellion A cotnride wearing the badge or
uniform of the order, participating in any
demonstration where the "rthel' flag Is dis
plaj cd, vioUtes his obligation Ho maintain
true alle iai.ee to the United Stales of
America,' and brings d'sTaoe upon the
order of wliic i he is a member. While the
commander in chief has neither the tight
nor disposition to interfere with the indi
vidual j uhts or privileges of members of
the older, he has assumed an obligation to
protect it against any and all acts that will
bring i epro veil upon its good name. With
these words ol admonition I have enfflcient
confidence In jour honor .md fidelity to the
principles 01 the order, to feel that there
nill be no further pat ticipation tn any
demonstration or parade wheie the 'em
blem of treason' is carried or displayed."
Death of General fejmonr.
Chill W. Ilazzard sends The Dispatch the

General Seymour was a gallant officer in
two wars He was a native of Vermont and
graduated Troui West Point Just in time to
enter the tiice for the Mexican War.
There he won the tank of Brevet Captain
forpallant and meritorious services m vail

You lie' ou lie you ue!"
And that nould be kept up for hours at a
time, till General Sevmour, frantic with
anger, would ride through the camp "ie
manding officers of the gu it d to restore dis

summated and the propert secured. It has

Why Owners Are Bullish.
A prominent operator In real estate re
marked yesterday: "There is a brisk in
quiry for property, but the trouble nearly
everywhere, and particularly in the Schen
ley Paik district, is that the most desirable
properties are in large tracts and held by
people so financially strong that they do not
care 10 sen at present prices. Thev oeilove
thst when the electrio road s;ets 'into full
operation values will douole." This state
ment fairly reflects the views of owners and
should be carefully considered, by buyers
who are holding back for a reaction.

The week on 'Change, if not the dullest,
was certainly one of the dnllest of the year.
Total sales were a little over 500 shares.
Perhaps the election was responsible for the
apathy. The only transartlQn ' yesterday
was that of 5 shares of Third National Bank
at 130, an advance of $5 during the week.

ACTIVE AND FEVERISH.
HEAVY DEMAND FEOM SHOBTS
THROUGHOUT THE DAT.
Operations Masked Under Heavy Hammer
ing Selling? on the Certainty of a. Bad
Bank Statement The Drain of funds
for Boston Shares Higher.
New York, Nov. 7. Tho stock market to
day showed some of its old-time activity,
but was feverish and unsettled from the
opening to the close, with great irregularity
in the movements, and the final changes are
insignificant in almost all cases. The feat
ure of the trading was the heavy demand
from the shorts, and the urgency of the buy
ing was seen in the unusual activity and the
manipulation having for its object the accu
mulation of stock without advancing prices.
The hammering continued in some por
tions of the list to mask the covering in
other paris, nnd the qld tactics of abandon
ing the effoit to cover when it became evi
dent that tho movement was advancing
prices too rapidly, with a return to tho ham
mering at the close, were rcsoitedto. The
recent selling, based on the almost absolute
certainty of a bad bank statement to-day,
had its conclusion to-day, and while the de
crease In reserves was material, it was seen
to bo largely due to an expansion of loans,
which it is evident went to support the situ
ation in Boston. The banks, however, are
still in very good condition, and while tho
statement was made up ou falling averages
it is protvtble that there is still plenty of
room for a further expansion.
The opening was lower and Jersey Central
was off lli but the heavy demand im
mediately tinned the course of prices nnd
the upward movement carried the figures
up from a to Vyi per cent, with the Coalers
nnd Lackawanna In particular showing
maiked strength. Tho demand slacked
away before the first hour was out, and tho
market thereafter remained irregular and
feverish, pi ices going back materially in
most cases, Northern Paciflcpreferred being
most prominent in the decline, dropping
awav 1 per cent from its highest flguie.
The rest of the list, however, held most of
their advances, though at one time lower
prices than tho'so of the opening were
reached in a majority of cases.
There was some improvement In the final
dealings, though the close was still heavy
aud nctiv e at close to the lowest figures.
Most stocks, however, show cams for the
day and Lackawanna is up 1J per cent and
Delawaro and Hudson 11.
Riilioid bonds in tho main were very
quiet, but there was very heavy tiadlng in
the Atchison Incomes a gain, and those bonds
furniihed $561,000 out of the total of $1,343,-
uw. xnetone 01 ine dealings vtas lather
heavy, but the material losses wore few.

Many Humors Afloat.
John M. Oakley & Co. received the follow
ing: "Tne weakness of last night's closing
prices was reflected in tho lower quotations
from London this morning. This in turn
had its effect on the opening of our market.
The bear clement have become more en
couraged; they draw comfort from even St.
Petersburg, where the condition of the
money market Is causing grave apprehen
sions, and tumors are circulating there af
fecting the stability of a number of their
leading banking hcnsei. Tne reflection of
this trouble will, it is indicated, be felt on
the Paris Bourse and the London Exchanges.
At the latter the market for Americans was
quite weak to-day because of forced sales
accompanied by rumors of financial difficul
ties there.
"The rumor flend is quite active. He had
plenty of material floating about yesterday,
but holders of substantial American securi
ties need not leel disturbed; the prices of
such may be dragged dow n for a time, but
the intrinsic value of the majority of the
bonds and stock Is such, particularly of the
leading railroads, being daily bettered by
the increasing traffic, and there is plenty of
material stored In our Western gran tries,
upon which they can profitably feed for
some time to come; but it takes time to con
vert the cereals Into coin so that the coin
again gets into active circulation, pays off
the interest and principal of the farmers'
obligations, enables the srocers and dry-good-
men to square up their account,
and gradually lencu the financial centers and
Is lein vested in desirable securities.
"In the meantime we are being tieated to
a cleanirg out pioccssin banks end bouses
that have been conducted on a speculative
bi-is or irregular business methods, and this
of itself w ill bring out a betterand healthier
condition of atfaiis
"The bank statement showed a larger de
crease in reserve than was expected, but the
depoits did not show as much decrease as
waspievioualy estimated, while the loans
showed a larger increase, and notwithstand
ing the statement, the market held fairly
well at the close. It is a good market to
w.iit on; the bear leaders are disposed to put
prices down, and are likely to succeed, but
these declines all afford good buying
chances."
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the Sew York Exchange yesterday.

THE C0UESE OF MONET.
A Fair Business and Plenty of Funds
New York Banks.
Bankers were entirely satisfied with the
business of the week. They would
not have objected to a larger line
of discounts, but felt confident they
would soon have employment for all
their idle funds. At the last moment news
reached the city of the suspension of the
Corry National Bank. Having no cor
respondent here, Its failure can have no ma
terial effect upon local business. Conditions
are too sound to be unsettled by an occa
sional misfit on the ontside.
Clearing House business showed a small
falling off fiom that of the previous week,
cleaily due to the election, which was prac
tically a holiday. The call for loans devel
oped a broadening tendency, and loutine
lines were well up. There vv as pi obably an
accumulation of funds, but with the holiday
season at hand, always a time of great
activity, and a number of new enterprises
in prospect, this is bv no means an unfavoi
able feature. The figures for the day and
week ale appended:

The New York Bank statement showed a
decrease in all the items except loans, and
was therefore a bad one. It wns offset, how
ever, by liberal offerings at 45 percent.
The publication wa lollowed by a slight de
pression in stocks. The following are the

GRAINS DOWN AGAIN.
Copious Bains in the Winter 'Wheat Belt
Depress the Prices of That Cereal Corn
and Oats Quiet and Easy Hog Products
Lower.
CHICAGO Wheat to-day presenteda sharp
contrast to the feeling dominant at the close
last night, and was as weak as it was strong
then. The bearish influence was the re
ported rains In the winter wheat country.
Higher cables and the immense purchases
of cereals yesterday for export, even an ad
ditional 3-marksrise in wheat and rye.cabled
from Berlin this morning, and which was
received here while the break in prices here
was only at Its commencement, bad not tho
slightest Influence In arresting the decline.
December wheat ranged to-dav at 96i
97c The opening was about Kc lower
than the closing figures of yesterday, and
with scarcely any fluctuations, declined lo
more. Then there was a rally; again eased
off: ruled quiet, and the closing was about
lJ-iQlVic lower than yesterday.
Commas quiet and easy. largely due to
the weakness in the provision nit. Novem
ber sold from 53c off to 53c: year, from 46JJo
to 4CJic, and May from 44c to 4354c. But all
reactrd Iatr v hen wheat "old up, Novem
ber going to 53c, year to 43c, and May to
44c. During the last hour corn became
sti ong and November sold to 51c, j ear to 47c,
and May to44Kc The lowest price in May
to-day was 44jjc, and the highest 44Kc.
Oats were quiet and easy. Noveniber sold
from 32c to 32c. but recovered to 33tc De
cember was 3lfiQ3lc. May opened at 33JJc;
sold at 33c, felt to 33c, but reacted to33c.
After the noon hourthemarket showed con
siderable firmness and much of the early
decline was iccovered.
Hog products were lower, owing to tho un
expected large receipts of hogs and a de
cline of 10 to 15c In price. January pork sold
early nt $11 25; fell to $11 10, but reacted to
$11 17. January lard sold at $6 27 eased
off to to 20, but improved to $ 22. Janu
ary ribs started at $5 77K: fell to $5 72 and
improved to $3 75. During the last hour pork
kept bteadv but easy. January sold at
