COLOR AND AROMA OF COFFEE.

There are two things which people i'm
agine are guides to the goodness of coffee
which are really of no consequence what
ever. They are the color of the decoction
and the aroma of the coffee when ground,
or as 1t escapes from the pot when draw
ing. The color is due almost entirely to
the roasting. This is true also of tea.
The finest coffees and teas when properly
roasted and prepared to give out their
finest favors will color the water but lit
tie. The real essences which give the
flavor have practically no color.

IN The WORLD Of FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE dealings in
stocks to-day were upon n holiday basis
and the course of prices WAS irregular,
and in most instances within narrow
range. Interest conferred in few stocks
with st. Paul .outranking Sugar in vol
ume of business. The professional deal
ers were entirely responsible for the fluc-
tuations Lower London quotations
were Offset in the early trading by a re-
duction of 12 in the posted quotations
for sixty days bills to 4S2 by lead ing
drawer. The decline was the result of
the decline in the discount rate in Lon
don The actual demand in quotations
was slightly firmer as a result of heavy
purchases to cover gold Imports Other
influences included the failure of a large
Philadelphia concern, further cutting of
transportation rates, and, near the close,
an advance in call money to Z per cent.
Attention was also directed to silver GER
tificates by decline of 2 Ia per cent. to
Va 81, with subsequent recovery to
80 1.2 on dealings of $4,000. The early
decline was attributed to a decrease de-
mand by Asia, on account of depressed
trade conditions. The early gains had
been most Important in Sugar, Burling-
ton and Manhattan. A reactionary move
ment soon developed, induced by bear
ralu upon the reported extension of the
rate cutting in the West. The losses
averaged point in the leading shares
At the low level business became very
dull and steadier tone was noted.
Later prices stiffened all around, with
some shares rallying to near the early
high level. The extreme gains, however,
were not retained and renewed pressure
resulted in n weak close with the next
changed trivial. There was very little
doing in the specialties, and no impor-
tant changes in them were noted, aside
from Minnesota Iron, (which was conspic-
uous by a decline of D per cent. to 46,
with subsequent recovery to 40 1-2. In
banking circles it is predicted that for
the balance of the month the money
rates will not fall apprecably below the
legal rate, while time money is expected
to command higher rates than have yet
been made. This theory is based upon
the expected continued heavy. movement
of money to the interior and the low de-
posts of the banks. This contention is
made with full consideration of the heavy
gold import movement.

CHINA SETTLES WITH US.
Whole Amount Demanded in COnse-
Gucncc of ChenEtu Riots is Paid.

Whole Amount Demanded in COnse-
Gucncc of ChenEtu Riots is Paid.
The New York Journal has received in
telligence from Tien-Tsin, China, that Con-
sui Read, the chairman of the Chengtu
commission, has succeeded in securing pay
ment in full of the Baptist Missionary
Union claims for property losses in the
Sechuen riots.
Thus all the American claims have been
settled in a friendly manner, China pay
ing the whole amount demanded.
The Sechuen Riots.
The riots in Sechuen province last May
marked the beginning of the attacks on
foreign missionaries in China by the
fanatical vegetarians, which eliminated in
the Hwasang massacre.
No foreigner was killed in Sechuen, but
the mission property destroyed in that
province alone was valued at s5000,0o0.
1t belonged to American, Canadian, En-
glsh and French societies.
The United States government, acting
apart from other governments, sent to
Chengtu, the capital of Sechuen, conf
mission of inquiry, headed by Sheridan
p. Read, the American consul at Tien-
Tsin He was accompanied by Lieutenant
Commander Merrell of the United States
warship Baltimore, and Mr.. Cheshire.
Four leaders Of the Sechuen vegetarian
anti-missionary mobs were beheaded be-
fore the Chengtu commission set out from
Tien-Tsin.
AS soon as the commission arrived at
Chengtu the representatives of all the
wrecked missions returned and imme-
diately began to rebuild, while the native
officials lost no opportunity to make pub
lie manifestation of their respect for the
An erican commission.
The Chengtu officials promptly settled
the claims of the American Methodists,
assisted them to buy property outright
and publicly banqueted all the American
missionaries with the commission.
For some reason the Baptist Missionary
Unions claims We're not paid when the
commission was in Chengtu last January.
