Act of Bravery.

The story comes to light of a brave
act on the part of Mr.. Whitted of Ad-
miral Beardslee's staff on Saturday,
July Sd, when the fireworks and all
festivities in the harbor had ceased.
Mr.. Whitted went off aboard close upon
II O'Clock, and was just ready to get
into bed when he heard mans cry of
Help, help; I'm drowningi" Know
ing that there was not a moment to
spare, he jumped straight through the
port, and, guiding himself by means OF
the cries, then becoming weaker and

Referring to the statement in an
evening paper relative to the anticipat-
ed departure of the Marion, it may be
said that Admiral Beardslee instructed
Captain Book to have his vessel put
in thorough repair, so she could leave
for San Francisco in two weeks, if nee
essary. Captain Book accepted this or
der as an intimation that the Marion
would leave, and so notified his Off

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. October Prices at the
opening of today's stock market reflected
advances In almost every instance. Chi
csgo Gas and st. Paul being the conspic-
uous exceptions
An increase Of over $500. 900 in New York
Centrars monthly earnings furnished the
incentive to the advance, the gains varying
from u to IL per cent.
The buying was not of the best, how
ever. and the volume Of business was
scarcely equal to the record Of a half day
last summer. This shrinkage in the daily
sales must indicate absence of demand
ard decreased demand after two months
activity must indicate an exhausted buying
power or a disinclination to renew the
obligations thrown off through liquidation.
The market does not decline materially,
because business conditions are not in
sympathy with such course. The ad-
vance is stayed, however. by reason of the
fact that money Is going into channels not
wholly speculative. and stocks have gone
to the public at prices too high for the pro-
fessioEals to repurchase.
, The demand If only delayed, and the short
interest daily in process Of extension will
serve the purpose OF more unique develop
ments later in the year.
The sale Of ffO0.OO in American eagles
by the Bank of England adds to the aggre-
hastens the inevitable movement; of the
coin in bulk.
The demand for money at Interior points
is falling off, and the reduction OF the local
reserve should be less marked than hereto
fore. The money market is not therefore
In Immediate danger of changes so radical
as to make securities adjust their prices to
the new interest rates.
Congress and Supreme Court must be
taken into consideration shortly. the latter
especially. Factors which had no place in
the summers movement are now being ell
countered on all sides, and hesitancy is
consequently becoming more and more
marked.
The Chicago Gas situation is one of the
features over shadowing the present mar
ket. The buying Of the independent COM
penies at that center by eastern capitalists
promises to revive the old animosities
which at one time played such an ;mpor-
tant part In the caily transactions through
out the speculative list
The stock CT the combined companies
opened at q decline of l SO per cent and
sold off under renewed pressure 3h per
cent additionally. There can be little doubt
that an effort to duplicate the New York
and Brooklyn gas transaction is In progress
in Chicago. Scarcely a large city in the
cas-. or middle west but has attracted in
vestments to its gas securities.
1t is not likely that competition is con-
tepplated in this instance any more than
in others. where consolidation sooner or
later became, the conspicuous intention.
This more or less wholesale absorption of
gas companies by Standard Oil and allied
interests Is taking money out Of the
binary speculative markets.
All things point to a dull and profess
sional market. with traders rallies from
time to time, and little of a more substan-
tial rise.
