eral Points,

New York, Aug. There is 10 change
to reportiD the situation at the Stock Ex-
change, and the traders who for the mo-
ment are-bullisbly inclined, are still in con-
troi of the market. The undertone of spec
ulation during the first hour was char
acterIzed by firrnness and a fair demand
prevailed for the regular dividend pa ayers-
At the opening. prices moved up IA to
l 1-2 per cent, Chicago Gas, Sugar, Lake
Shore and the grangers leading the up
ward movement. Lake Shore scored the
greatest rise, selling up TO 143 -12.
subsequently few of the small bulls
started in to even up contracts, and the
Improvement noted in Sugar, the Grangers
and Western Union was lost.
Manhattan, after an early advance OF
1-2 per cent, to SO 1-2, fell to IS IA.
The stock is favorite with the bears just
now, and whenever it sells in the ueighbor-
hood of 80, the shorts put out fresh short
lines. The old argument of poor earnings,
competition by the surface roads and a
consequent reduction in the dividend rate
is still being used against the ptbperty.
At II o'clock the market was quiet and
steady in tone
There was complete reversal in the
temper of speculation during the last hour
OF business, when the movement to realize
became general. Under tbepressure brought
to bear against the market prices yielded
1-2 to 1-s per cent, the Ia tier in Sugar,
which dropped to 103 7-S. There were
heavy sales OF this stock. The Grangcrs,
Louisville & Nashville, Chicago Gas and
Manhattan were also Conspicuous in the
downward movement. Speculation closed

Mrs Czarra shrugged her plump shoulders
saying she supposed the doctor would io0k
after the baby i, :
Berdelia Jones. the first wet nurse,
a comeiy colored woman, said when the
doctor brought the child to her he said
it was an orphan. "a

the baby for two weeks, until he heard
from its grandparents in California. He
was to pay So, $3.50 Of which he still
owed" 80
She didn't see him for quite q while,
and when she did he said he had been away
and it was then decided to have the child
cared for by the board.
This has all been very nicely ar
ranged" said the judges ironically. There
should be Il law compelling every person
connected directly or Indirectly in cases
like tliis 10 furnish a bond for the sup
port aud maintenance OF the child, then
we'd have some results"
The judge commented sharply on the
doctors actions in the matter. Reluct
antly, and only for the child's sake. his
honor committed it to the care OF Agent
