MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review


New York. Aug. 2i.-Speculation at
the Stock Exchange was dun and pro-
fessional today. Only 1OO,021 shares of
stocks were traded I'm. The fiuctua-
tions in prices We're on par with the
transactions, very few stocks chang
ing as much as a point during the
day. At the opening the market was
weak on moderate selling for London
and local account. Western Union
was quite q feature at the start. 1900
shares changing hands at 74S673ls.
On Saturday the last transaction re-
corded was at 1854. The selling of
Telegraph had little influence on the
general list and before the expira-
ton of the first hour of business the
entire list was on the advance once
more. The buying was based on the
idea that the clearing house loan COM
inittee intended to issue certificates at
their meeting today. 1t was agreed
that his acion would be of maerial as
sistance to merchants who are unable
to place their paper at present, and
that the security markets would reflect
the improvement In mercantile circles
later on. The traders Immediately be-
gan 10 ulScOult u DItDublt ISSUE VI
certificates and their moderate pur-
chases soon brought about a general
advance in prices. Manhattan bound
ed up 2% to7SA, but this was excep-
tional. Western Union recovered -
1888 and Sugar. the Changers, Louis
vile and Nashville rose H@1h per
cent. Renewed weakness i'm Sterling
exchange encouraged the hope of fresh
importations of gold and this also
had some influence in bringing about
the higher range of stock quotations.
| The demand from the shorts fell off
| toward the close and there was dis
| position to put out fresh contracts In
u small way. Money on call rose to
| s per cent but under offerings by q
| foreign house the rate quickly return
| ed to 6 per cent. After borrowers
| had supplied their wants there were
tenders as low as 3n4 per cent. At
| the close the stock market was toll
erably firm except for Sugar and the
Changers. Net changes in the active
stocks were slight either way outside
of Manhattan, which gained u per
cent. and Sugar. which lost l per cent.
| In the inactive issues Lake Shore
dropped per cent. to 1391s.

WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Colonel Pattie Watkins Gets a Hearty
Reception...Death Of Mrs. John
r. Thomas.

Colonel Pattie Watkins was at home
last night. She was among her people
the Welsh, and when Pattie Watkins
happens upon a Cymro camp she never
forgets to tell the people where she
was born and she calls for some good
old Welsh song. She did this last night
at the Volunteer service held on this
side. The audience was not large one,
perhaps 800 at the most. but the little
tent was densely packed and the over
flow reached many feet back of the
canvass fringe.
The little band of Volunteers paraded
the streets before the meeting and at
S.15 o'clock the farewell service was
begun Farewell 1t was, as owing to
her coming marriage Colonel Watkins
is not likely to visit us soon again.
She seemed to realize this last night
and there was a fearful accent In her
voice. Sing some old Welsh song" she
said and she then began the dirgeful
music Of "Bydd Myrdd o Rhyeddodau."
Everybody Joined i'm and the little tent
trembled gently with the pathetic mel
ody.
That's good" exclaimed the colonel
with enthusiasm; that song will cheer
me up for months TO come. I only hear
II when l come to Scranton, and, oh!
1t does me good" The song was re-
peated many times and the colonel bub-
bled with JOY.
Il often WONDER" said Member Cap
well, of the Volunteers, in his little talk
Immediately afterward. Il wonder will
they sing that song in heaven. I'll feel
lonesome if they don't"
The colonel gave short speech after
ward, but this was not what made up
the meeting; it was the incidentals. the
impromptu work that was felt. The
colonels voice was trifle husky owing
to recent hard usage. She infused great
life into the meeting and was as mag
netic as of old. In opening the meet
ing the audience "shook hands" with
her. Each one there raised his or her
hand and spirit" handshake was had
with the little woman who stood on the
platform with her hand raised.

AN OLD TRICK.

From the Minneapolis Times.
The old campaign trick of lauding dead
and gone Republicans as statesmen Is be-
ing worked to the limit by the Democratic
press this year. Their most frequent au-
thority is James G.. Blaine who In his
grave is one of the best friends the COM
mon people ever had. but when in the
height of his fame and power was more
bitterly denounced by these jackals of
the opposition as a tool Of the corpora
,tions, a plutocrat, and all that than any
other Republican of his time.
