Dealings Reflect the Uncertainty Regarding
the Financial Outlook - Domestic and
International Bonds Easier

NEW YORK, dan. 20.-The professional
dealers who had the market almost ell
tireIy to themselves found it difficult to roll
up in the five hours of business today a
total of transactions exceeding the two
hours record of Saturday by only 1000
shares. The limited speculation and an
unsettled tone reflected degree of uncer-
tainty as to the immediate domestic tinan-
cial outlook and the international political
situation. Three leading gold shipping
houses reported an intention to ship an ag-
gregate of 81 100000, and another firm
was said to be figuring up a shipment of
$75O,OOO to $1,OO0,OOO. London prices
came lower and the initial quotations were
pretty evenly divided between gains and
losses, but the trend was downward. The
tendency toward lower range soon be-
came manifest. The selling pressure was
soon exhausted and on moderate buying,
chiefly by shorts, the market improved all
around, the most noteworthy advances be-
ing recorded in the industrials. Bonds
were dull and easier. Atchison seconds led
vita business of $11l.000 out of total
of $1,O4S, 900. Only $4,000 was done in
governments.

An incident occurred at Olney (Pa.(
Methodist church, some time ago
which served to call a halt on long,
winded sermons. The housekeeper of
the parsonage is an Indian woman,
who was secured through the Carlisle
training school, and who has ever been
one of most prompt attendants at all
the church services. The pulpit was
filled one Sunday evening during the
warm summer months by an old time
clergyman, whose prosy doctrinal SER
mon of "full yard wide" set many in
the audience mapping long before the
"fifthly and finally" section of the dis
course had been reached. The Indian
housekeeper, unaccustomed to such an
innovation, and being regular in her
hours of retiring, after several vigor-
GUS yawns stood up in her place in the
''meetin house." and raising up her
right hand exclaimed in broken Eng
lish: "Home! me sleepy" The effect
was electrical; the sermon was cut
short and the congregation soon dis
missed and short sermons are said to
be in order since that day at Olney.
