New York.

NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-MOney on call easy,
ranging from TO per cent; last loan. 1la;
per, 3l2@.l2. Sterling exchange quiet and
steady at S4.Sts4 for sixty-day bills, and
SISSY for demand.
The dizziness i'll the stock market continued
maintained, and large fractional advances
were the rule among the leading active
stocks while specialties were lifted from to
per cent, though the general list was held
dull and almost stagnant. The reduction in
sterling exchange rates seems to have put a
stop TO the gold exports tor the time being;
at least there is no indication of any inten-
ton TO ship at present, which is a circum-
stance reaSsnring to the bulls in the stock
market The absence of pressure was the
most prominent feature of the trading
during the last two days. While there have
been EFFORTS 10 pick up stocks quietly,
ana the strength of the market attests
the excess of the demand it is not believed
that much success has attended these tactics
and that any forcing of the covering would
result Ill much sharper gains in the leading
shares. A story that the Pennsylvania was
working in harmony with the Reading COM
blnation. subsequently contradicted by the
PENNSYLVANIA folks. had the effect of increas-
ing the amount of business in Reading, and
advancing Its price somewhat but without
exception the rest of the leading shares
were dull throughout. The market closed
firm under pressure, and most stocks showed
small gains over their last nights figures,
while Western Union. which had been the
strong feature of the afternoon, scored a
rise OF lSS per cent The trading reached
only 1861 listed, and 17.S7T unlisted.
railroad bonds were little more animal
ed, but failed TO show the strength they have
OF late, and while i'll the great majority of
issues the changes were slight there were
few losses of note.
The Post says: If the so-caled independ-
ent committee of Richmond Terminal secur-
lty holders could be SHOWN really to repre-
sent movement among investors to act for

considerably broader than the limits OF the
Terminal imbroglio. Tine principle involved
is far-reaching There is no doubt that scan
dalous wrong has heen done in the past to
these investors, and that if the inside history
Of the Richmond Terminal could be dragged
to light, some very sensational proceedings
both civil and criminal. would be possible
nobody. however seriously looks for such
exposures, and it is doubtful if an ideal indie
pendent committee could lay its hand on the
evidence. In the present case it is not easy

GALEsBURG, ILL.,, Aug. 10.-It is cur
rent tonight that Hon. Clark E. Carr,

Denmark without delay. unless it would
cause too great inconvenience. His
leave of absence was for two months,

Plants Without Roots.

On first thought one would say that
it was as much of an impossibility for
a plant of any kind TO grow without
roots as it would be for any tree, vine
or plant to bear fruit without first hav-
ing blossoms. There are, nevertheless,
several well-known exceptions to the
general rule in this as we'll as in other
matters. The largest species of root
less plants are the "sea weeds" of the
Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
In plants of the sea weed kind the
structure varies considerably, some
being merely microscopic vesicles,
while others have vines and stems as
large as the average forest trees.
Some writers even claim that Maori
cystis, a sea weed of the South
Pacific, often grows to be 90 TO 80
feet in diameter and 1900 to 1000 feet
in length. In no case do any of these
have roots, in the p roper sense, their
nourishment being absorbed from the
water by all parts alike.
Other smaller but perhaps better
known species of rootless plants are
SIENNA or duck meat, water house
leek, a Georgia plant resembling
garden lettuce, and the common ftIs-
Gus of the Gulf of Mexico. The
witch plant, which is the establishment
of the native Australians as well as
the foreigners, resembles our com
mon plantain in the matter of leaf.
Six or eight of these leaves, some
times an inch and three-quarters
broad and five inches long, often
spring from a single 'stool, which
sits on fiat bare spot without the
least sign of rootl Several well at
tested marvels of plant life could 10
