AN AGED WHALE
But He Is Still Able to Swallow Little
Fishes

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Russell Sage,
who has had his eighty-second birthday
this week. is credited with a financial
coup. Friends of MIR. Sage say the vet
eran has brought about a corner in
Manhattan stock.
Manhattan Elevated stock some
months ago became a popular bear tar
get. Speaking of the declarations of
Mr.. Sage that as the Manhattan COM
pany was not earning the dividends it
was paying it should pay less dividends,
when the spring quarterly days came
around MIR. Sage had his way, and the
dividend rate was cut down. Yesterday
the stock jumped from TO 100. 1t has
become a matter of comment that GER
tain prominent houses are on the short
side of the market. These reports gained
interest and there was a sensation when
il was announced that representatives
of one of these big houses on the short
side had called on Mr.. Sage and asked
him to let them have at private sal :
over 10000 shares of Manhattan stock
with which to make good all or part of
their shorts. Mr.. Sage said to them:
Il am not willing to let any of my stock
go. l have bought it because l believe
in the property. If you are short of the
stock ard want to buy the only advice
can give you is to go into the open
market and bid for what you want. Per-
haps you can buy 10000 shares up some :
where around par. Perhaps it may cost
you ten or twenty points more than
that"

Fresno Farmers

FRESNO, Aug. IA meeting of the
Farmers club of Fresno county was held
this afternoon and in view of reports of
increased shortage of the raisin crop and
the prospects for more favorable con-
ditions in the markets, it was decided to
raise the minimum price for raisins in
the sweat box from 2ia TO cents. 1t is
understood that but few sales have been
made at 21a cents, and it is believed that
8 and 31s cents will soon be ruling
prices. A stockholders meeting of the
Producers Packing companies was also
held this afternoon and it was decided
not to operate their packing houses this
season. The action is due to general
determination on the patr of raisin grow
ers to sell only for cash in the sweat
