Stocks and Rnnds.

New York. Aug. 4-The great majority Of
the sales of stocks or the exchange TODAY
was made at prices very substantially
above last nights closing. But the market
succumbed I'm the last half hour TO "A sud-
den settling movement induced by profit
taking. The effect was to wipe out nearly
all the earlier gain in most stocks and
10 leave the average level Of the market
but little changed from yesterday. The
sales of all stocks attained an aggregate
Of over $4,000 shares. The dealings in the
last half hour were all at lower prices and
the only stocks TO escape the effect Of the
fall were those not Included In the later
dealings. Except for the final decline the
market was almost a repetition of that Of
yesterday, copiOus purchases being made
OF pretty much every stock IN the list. Very
many sales of odd lots were recorded. re-
Meeting the ventures Of small individual
purchasers through commission houses.
There was not much discrimination shown
in this class OF buying. which embraced
some Of the stocks which nave long almost
passed out of the field Of attention on the
exchange. A notable feature Of the trad
ing was the heavy selling for foreign ac-
count and the readiness with which these
sales were absorbed and their sentimental
effect disregarded.

Spencer and the Rooster.

Herbert Spencer is peculiarly sensi-
tive to discordant noises, or those which
he regards as such. A sound which is
said to make Mr.. Spencer forget that
he is philosopher is chandeliers well
come to the dawn When the roosters
begin to crow, Mr.. Spencer ceases to
sleep, and there are whispers that the
remarks he makes on such occasions
thoroughly disprove his affiliation with
the stoics. Some years ago, during a
stay in Scotland, he was fairly mad
dened by the performance Of cock that
crowed inconceivably early. After a
period of prolonged suffering it occurred
to him that if the bird were tied to it's
perch it would be unable to rise for the
act Of Growing. So, by a fine effort of
induction, Mr.. Spencer went to the hem
house soon after midnight and with his
pocket handkerchief tied his enemy
firmly to its perch. Then he went back
to bed, and, though history does not
record whether the expedient silenced
the rooster or not, Mr.. Spencer was so
confident that it would that he slept
calmly until long after the dreaded hour
of his usual awakening. New York
Times.
