NEW YORK STOCKS.
Close Firm With General Fractional
Advances,

NEW YORK, July THE tone of the stock
market was fairly firm throughout The ex-
PLANTATION given by the traders, who were en-
tlrely responsible for the fluctuations was
that the market had discounted any possible
development at the national convention at
chicago and stress was laid upon the prob
ability of no further exports of gold in the
near future. The market opened dull and
lower despite higher London quotations, the
depression being attributed to the non-ap-
pearance of buying orders and to realizing.
The general reactionary movement soon
halted and although the speculation became
apathetic in the extreme, tendency toward
higher level developed. The general list
worked to point showing slight advances
over yesterdays closing figures Up to 2
O'Clock speculation displayed but slight fea-
lures. The general list at the time men
toned averaged a shade below the best
hgure The market continued dull up to the
closing which was firm with fractional
changes in either direction, but mainly ad-
vances.
The total sales of stocks today were o..
DAB shares, including the following: Tobacco

Provisions show but little change The
wheat market was dull and dormant most Of

the Northwest from rust. Statistically, the
situation favored better prices. The shorts

that is sometimes made by the inmates
Of that interesting place, says an Eng

he more clever, more thoughtful or

indigo snake when cold weather comes
un? 1t was illustrated recently. The
irst breath of cool air that was waited
across the garden informed the indigo
snakes that n cold wave WIS ut hand.
They could not hide their heads urder
their wings, like the robin CT the nurs-
cry book. They could not take violen;
exercise and warm up their blood, for
their blood will not warm. So they
settle the problem by swallowiu" each
other in turn. One indigo snake will
swallow his better half, for example,
until she becomes thoroughly warmed
up and then she will swallow him until
he feels comfortable.
