The March Romance" New York;
I has "a nty complete stories, all of alb
-urhing sterest. That the new editor
and publisher OF Romance" is working
/ on broad-minded principles. is pro-
| gressive and fearless in the practical
working Of a magazine is evidenced in
the copy before US. The distinguished
contributors include Mary wilkins, who
! contributes the first ghost story from
/ her pen. lola contributes a most re
r1arkable account of a new and lucra-
/ tive occupation. Tudonic Haleyy tells
/ a remarkable story wherein the action
takes place in heaven and portray the
/ fact that a woman remains a woman,
! even in heaven. Beside these, Hall
Game continues his weird and powerful
story of Morocco. The Romances of
Zeal Life" are all contributed by Wal
| ter Beverly Crane, a cousin of Steven
Crane. These three stories show Mr..
! Crane at his best in three distinct
| fields. The Contributors Club COM
prises the stories of only two members.
But they are both strange, forceful
stories that should attract attention.
/ The first is also the leading story in
the book. Beyond the Light" by An
nie Hercht Neil Here is realism that
makes you shudder. and romance that
arouses emotions. The other story is
by Edward Lissner. hitherto known as
q political writer, but now recognized
as a genius in the story telling field.
His story a Question OF Propriety'

LATEST LONDON QUOTATIONS.

THURSDAY. Aug. 8.
The unusually large and widely distributed
transactions In stocks yesterday were unqucs-
tionably suggestive Of a reaction In prices. That
many operators, including a largo number of
professionals. entertained this view was shown
by the setback in the last hour of business yes.
terdny and by declines OF n point or more
during the first two or three hours to-day.
The complete record of to,day's market fur
nishes important evidence as to the character OF
tho present dealings In securities. 1t Is plain
that realizing sales have been chiefly by the pro-
~fessional element and comparatively small op-
orators. and that the larger interests, which in
ordinary times can create or practically destroy a
market, have not AS yet distributed any percepti.
BILE amount OF their holdings. The indications arc
that present conditions will defer the marketing
Of any large blocks OF securities for some time to
come. In consequence. n steadily increasing
demand for securities encounters a diminishing
supply. There Is practically no liquidation of
Investment holdings; on the contrary, those
holdings are being increased, and at the same
time tho shrewdest operators are indisposcd to
sell their stocks. II they do soil they are alert to
recover their stocks at very moderate conces.
sions.
A slightly lower range OF prices for American
securities In London and the customary selling
by foreign arbitrage houses encouraged local
sales throughout the list. Besiies, there were
palpable efforts to depress prices, presumably
to recover stocks sold for both accounts
during the last few days. These were effect.
i've in a number of cases, notably Sugar
Refining, Chicago Gas. Rock Island, North.
ern Pacific preferred. and in several of tho
less active stocks. The depression, however,
was shortlived, for it both disclosed and at.
tracted a largo number OF buying orders. As
the day wore away the demand for stocks was
stimulated by the reports OF rAilway gross
earnings for the last week in July and for that
month that came TO hand. Conspicuous
among them was the increase of nearly
$4,000 reported by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Company for the last week in July and of
$4,000 for the month. Another noteworthy
increase was that reported by the Chicago
Great Western Company of $4,000 for the
week and $4,000 for the month. This was fol.
lowed by Q net advance OF 1ss y cent. In Chi.
cago Great Western stock. Other significant
returns were made by the Missouri. Kansas
and Texas. the Missouri Pacific. and the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Companies.
Tho recovery in the market did not. however,
get under a full Roadway until the Louisville
and Nashville Company reported an increase
for the fourth week in July Of slOs,OoO and for

BY the publication Of the Southern Railway
statement showing an Increase Of nearly ISL 900
for the last week IN July.
The figures referred to, together with those
furnished by the Rock Island and tho st. Paul
companies yesterday, have convinced Wall
street, and doubtless will convince the public,
that the transportation industry Of the conn-
try is about to enter upon a period OF
unusual prosperity. In considering these
earnings the fact should not DO over
looked that In most cases increases In
gross receipts mean even larger proportionato
increases In net earnings; for in the cases OF we'll
managed roads the additional traffic is ham
died without material increase In operat-
ing expenses. The Improvement in Louisville
and Nashville earnings. though possibly due
in part to unusually heavy coal trafio
because OF the strike Of the Northern bltuminous
coal miners. appeared to have n decided effect
upon foreign as well rs local sentiment and, as
already noted. influenced the entire market,
which was not impaired by a drop OF z points in
Consolidated Gas on light transactions.
Among the interesting features of the day
were q sharp advance in American Tobacco, of
which 3 points were permanent, a revival of
