Hi Spruce Street MARKETS AND STOCKS Wall Struct Review. New York. OU. S6. The temper ot speculation tit the Stock Exchange was unmistakably bullish today and at the end of the session prices showed an advance of a2 per cent. In practic ally the entire list. Heavy purchases to cover short contracts contributed to the strencth of the market, but the upward movement was accelerated by buying1 for the long account for certain capitalists who are Impressed with the heavy exports of wheat and other pro ducts and the Influx of gold and who also believe In the success of the sound money advocates at the coming elec tions. At intervals reactions occurred In consequence of the sale of 15 to 20, two shares lor foreign account, the set buck met with by the bull specula tion In wheat and the advance In the rates of Interest here to SalO per cent., but after each decline Btocka were taken freely with the result of causing substantial rallies. The transactions aggregated 2.'9,2ii shares, the largest total tor some time. The great fea ture of the day's speculation was the Jump in Sugar, which on purchases of ti:'.4Ul) shares rose to 115 and closed at 114 against 112 on Saturday. Bur lington and Qulncy ranked second with 23.H0O shares; St. Paul third with 24,200 ttnd Reading fourth with 23,300 shares. The Important advances follow: Sugar preferred, 1; Tobacco, 1; Burling ton and Qulncy, 1: Chicago Gas, ITi; Northwest, 1; St. Paul, ; Kock Is land, l'i: Delaware and Hudson, 1; General Klectrlc, 1; Lead, 1; pre ferred, 14; Jersey Central, 1; Read ing, 1; Tennessee Coal, 1; and Leath er preferred, Speculation closed strong with prices at or near the best of the day.

Chicago, 111., Oct. 28.-The net appre ciation in the price of wheat today was one cent, but th market was nervous and in a position to be "worked." Business was on a much reduced scale, not only In wheat, but in the othtr grains und provi sions. In a general way It was u bull market without bull news. As Is usual on Monday the trade had Important sta tistics, but they did not leave their mark. There was a disposition to follow leaders or guess what the market might do next regardless of natural inlluences, and this developed a scalping trade. The De cember option in wheat opened at 69?c. and the highest prlt'e for the day was ilUc. Tho lowest llgures were 6e. Short ly before the closing hour news came of the burning of the Pnelilo elevators here and thU caused the mi-kef to firm, th llnal price being 7oc. It cannot be said that there was an excitement during the duy's business for the reason, perhaps, that there was nothing In the information received to warrant It.

From the Omaha Bee. The office of vice-president of the United States is one of distinction and honor. In the early years of the re public it was considered worthy of the aspirations of the most distinguished statesman. The roll of vice-presidents includes the names of such eminent men as John Adams, Thomas Jeffer son, George Clinton, John C. Calhoun, John C. Breckinridge and Henry Wil son, while there were others who had a prominent part In the eveifts of their time and achived an enduring place in the country's history. It is only In late years that the vice-presidency ha3 come to be thought of so little conse quence, from the view point of poll tics, as to be unworthy the considera tion of men in public life who have attained a prominence that warrants them in aspiring higher. It is true that the position carries with it little patronage, the vice-president having but few places In his gift wun wnicn to reward political friends. It Is also true that the incumbent of the vlce-presldecy does out, as a rule, exert a very great innuence upon poli tical affairs. Unless he enjoys the most Intimate relations with, the administra tionand In recent years this has not been the case his views are not sought and he. gets little more opportunity than he would have had as a private c-itlzen to give shape and direction to political events. He has practically no voice in the government, and must take his share of the responsibility for his party's mistakes and failures with out having anything to say regarding the framing of policies or the adminis tration of affairs. If he preside over the senate with dignity, fairness and impartiality he is commended, but has little chance beyond this to win the approbation of his fellow citizens. Add to all this the fact that but few vice presidents have been nominated for the presidency, and that for the last third of a century election to the second place has been regurded as a bar to the presidency, and an explanation Is furnished why aspirants for the high est ottlce in the gift of the people are unwilling to accept the second place. SOME CONSOLATION. From the Rochester Post-Express. In the Scranton Tribune there Is a con soling reflection which will doubtless seem very applicable here to those Rochester lans who have found their westward way, by bicycle, carriage, or cur, so blocked that even "the star of emtiire" would have to keep in the air. The Tribune Is speak ing of torn up pavements and stiys, with half a sob In Its voice, "Such things don't happen in dead towns." No, they don't, and the peacefulness of the last long sleep is manifestly not without charms. It has sometimes occurred to me that the gentlemen who write criticisms for i.ewspapers do not frequently enough, be fore writing sharp worus, iauc to con sioer their effect. Tnkc, for example, thi Mvuge attack made by last Saiurday's Truth upon Air. Younu's "Hamlet." Its Immedlato result was to cause to this earnest and gifted young player a loss In his business probably amounting to $lii0. But that was not all. It deeply wounded the player himself. Ho Is a young man, just starting out In life; a gentleman by birth and breeding, who, at a time when most stage-workers are ready enough to descend to flippancy or pruriency, has the ambition to gain rec ognition by conscientious and painstaking work in the higher levels of the drama. He was a newcomer to our city; he rose for that performance from a sick bed and during it fainted in his dressing room. Even If he had murdered the part, It would have been at least an attempt In the right direction, and while it would huve merited kindly dissuasion, would not have deserved satirical back-ripping founded In the muin on false representa tions. ' But the fact is that Mr. Young's "Ham. let" needs no apologies. It was loftily conceived, poetic In treatment, clearly drawn and not at all discreditable to a young man of 23 years of age. Its imper sonator showed that he possessed gifts of an uncommon quality a graceful presence, a resonant and flexible voice un der excellent control, easy nnd effective gesticulation and intelligence decidedly ubove the ordinary. If tho Truth critic could not see these recommendations, so much the worse for his discernment; they were seen and appreciated by the audi ence. The circumstances fairly consid. ered, it was a surprisingly good produc tion of one of the most dilllcult of trage dies; Instead of butchering Mr. Young for his honorable desire to equip himself for dlgniiled and uplifting work upon a decadent stage, the press should at least. It seems to me, give him a fair chance and extend whenever It enn a welcoming hand. Ill words go much faster than words of encouragement; but If these few remarks can antidote the Truth's un called for virulence, Mr. Young Is wel come to them. The meeting of the inter-Stute Homoeo pathic Medical society In Scranton this week will not only be an event of Interest to members of the fraternity In north eastern Pennsylvania und southern New York, but will also be of Importance as another- advertisement of the enterprise of the Electric City. The Inter-Stute con vention, which will bring to Scranton some of the most prominent physicians of the homoeopathic school from New York and Philadelphia, will in many respects be a preliminary session of the state con. vention which will be held In this city ut a later date. The State Homoeopathic Medical convention has heretofore oscil lated between Pittsburg and Philadelphia and has never been held In any other cltv In our great commonwealth. The deci sion of the body to hold the next annual meeting In Scranton Is a recognition of the Importance of Scranton as well as of the talent and enterprise of the homoeo pathic physicians of the city and vicinity. By the way, have' you ever noticed the Increase In tho flood of mediocre and maudlin stuff that Is tolerated on the stage today? There Is scarcely a combi nation save the exponents of tragedy that does not contain one or more alleged bal lad singers who profane true sentiment und shock the nerves of musically-inclined people by renditions of ear-splitting compositions set to wretched verse. Forty line stanzas descriptive of the adventures of a dry goods drummer or the woes of the maiden who strayed from the paths of virtue at an early age and never at- temuted to get back again, are made ad ditionally terrible by the piping voice of the soubret'.e or the bray or the Dasso in a hand-me-down dress suit. Horse music and doggerel poetry are bad enough when confined to humorous topics, but when the etlorts of the "Inspired" nre turned to subjects that should be avoided in or dinary conversation they become posi tively painful. It Is to be regretted that the army of descriptive ballad writers seems to be on the increase and that an Indulgent public continues to allow them to not only revel In indecency, but also at times Introduce subjects that should be too sacred to come within the range of a modern song writer. I notice that the craze for the queer In literary fields has reached Scranton and that the city can boast of a weird publi cation of the order of the "Philistine" and "Chap Book." The new magazine, known as the "Pheon, presents the proper ap pearanc printed in red and bluck, and is delivered to the reuder folded In a 3x9 Inch wad. ft caters to the highest clement only In society and literature In Scran ton. For the present the magnzlne will doubtless hi ablo to cover the entire field without being unfolded. INCREASING OUTPUT OF GOLD. The continuously Increasing production of gold is knocking the props from under the claim 01 tne suverues inui me pre cious metal Is getting so scarce that "there Isn't enough to go around," and that the world's currency Is contracting. Notwithstanding the fact that the total output of gold has doubled during the lat ten years, the estimates for the present calendar, given to the public a few days ago by our mint director, .ur. r-resion, or.eof thehlirhest authorities in the world. fixes the total so high that It will be near ly double that of 1S-90. Here nre some of the totals since 1S75 and the estimate for WORLD'S GOLD PRODUCTION. $220.0O0.0O0ilS91 $130,050,000 IS! 2UJ.0W.OU0 lSSO ll&.S4i,7l"J MH StMi2i.lUU'lS!l5 l"J,lS3.ijitU liB'l 157.2!!7.it)'18MI 10i,IXSOO 1892 116.8l5,10ttjlS7S 97.O0O.WIO This means a larger addition to the world's monetary stock than was made in the years when the mints were open to free colnaue of both cold and silver, nnd ! It Is pleasant to note that the United I States will again head the list of produc- lnij countries, with un output of ut least nt'.y minions. If there wus any reason for the claim that gold is appreciating because of Its scarcity, that claim has long since lost its reason.
