ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK. July S.-Profit taking was
the order of the day in the stock market.
The sending of the tariff bill to conference
ENDS the senate stage of the bill, the ter
mination of which has formed subject for
speculation in the recent market The
termination is regarded as favorable in
huence of values, but having been pre-
viously discounted, realizing sales were to
be looked for The reaction did not de-
velop Immediately at the opening, owing
to several sustaining influences. The sugar
refining industry's special interest in the
tariff bill made that stock sensitive to
Washington reports as to the changes of
the sugar schedule in the conference. These
reports varied all day as matter of course,
but carried Sugar up at the opening. The
grangers and International stocks also
opened with an upward tendency, on ac-
count of variety of special influences.
Those combined influences resulted in a
rally after the first decline that carried
prices generally to the highest of the day.
The influence was only temporarily ef-
fective, however, in checking the reac-
tionary tendency of the market and in fact
served only to accentuate the desire to
take profits. The realizing was based on
the passage of the tariff bill by the senate
on the contiued belief in the elimination
on the long turn the market has made on
general conditions of business. There were
traders also who expressed their disap-
pointment that the presidents message rec
ommending currency commission had
been deferred and that authorization of
the commission with the membership of the
senate as at present was unlikely. There
was an increased activity in the dealings
both over yesterday and the day before.
The bond market lacked feature, aside
from some notable variations in the in-
dustrial issues in which special influences
operated The general market displayed a
hardening tendency, but the improvements
were mainly slight. The aggregate sales
were 81, GOO. Governments were easier
for the new As, but the other issues were
steady. Sales were $500.

Moody Should Know Better

Mr.. Moody finds in the trolley car, the
bicycle and the Sunday newspaper the
three great temptations which beset the
pathway of modern young men. This
is a. disappointment, coming from Mr..
Moody, who is generally rated as prac-

accomplished much good. There are

position without exciting surprise, but
Mr.. Moody, who was business man for
many years and who has knocked about
the world in way to make him familiar

The almost universal use of the word Gin

country, as descriptive of the character

blity In case of property loss by fire, or of
the death or injury of persons, was we'll
Illustrated the other day in this city, says
the Chicago Argus, when a woman came
in great perturbation to the office of a
foreign fire insurance company, whose
corporate name embodies the word assur-
ance, asserting that it was an insurance
policy she had paid for and that no conf
dence game could be worked on her! The
prevailing practice in Great Britain has
been to apply the term Assurance to life
companies and insurance to fire, marine
and casualty companies. There has been
a good deal of hair splitting by English
writer's on insurance to demonstrate the
propriety of the former term as applying
to life corporations In all essentials the
two words stand for the same thing and
are as synonymous as enquire" and 'in-
quire." With two or three exceptions, all
the American life companies have adopted
the term used by the fire and other insur-
ance companies, recognizing that the en-
ployment of the English form is simply a
distinction without difference.

CHICAGO MARKET
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, July S.-Wheat was again in
control of the bulls at the opening of the
board today. There was no trading in
July to speak of, but September was as
likely as a small boys ''nigger chaser"
and for time fully as erratic. Trading
in that option commenced at from 661a6
66%, against yesterdays closing price of
66ssd6612. 1t dropped to 66M66s, then went
skipping upward fraction by fraction, until
in little over half an hour from the start
it perched for few moments al 67$s. Then
it began to drop gently down again, and
took long rest when it got back around
81. There were various reasons for the
strength the market displayed. The Rus
siam wheat crop was reported to be suf-
fering from excessive rain, and the Rus
sian shippers in consequence to be buying
American wheat on speculation. New
York wired shortly after the opening that
foreigners were good buyers and wheat was
scarce. Heavy rain in the northwest was
doing damage to spring wheat according
to some of the dispatches from there. Liv-
erpool quoted an advance of I'D per GENITAL
to begin with, and local commission houses
had cable orders for September wheat from
the United Kingdom and continent Chi
cago receipts were 8 carloads. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported 235 cars against
4O3 on the corresponding day of the year
before. Atlantic port clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 33S, 900 bushels. The
market in the last half of the session be-
came dull, and with the falling off of bus
mess there was a tendency in the price to
work lower. September got down to 66M
and held obstinately close to those figures
until about ten minutes of the close. when
a general selling pressure caused further
decline TO 66l4M66as, which was the trading
rate at the close. In corn there was a
continuation of the activity of the past
few days. Reports from the corn belt were
mixed as usual. The heaviest blow to the
bullish feeling came from the weather
bureau, which predicted a break in the
drouth in the west within thrty-six hours.
The market for oats was firm and active
throughout the strength being due prin-
cipally to sympathy with wheat. Provis-
ions were dull and the tendency was down
ward after firm opening, due to smaller
run of hogs than expected.
The leading futures closed as follows:

Closing Stocks

NEW YORK, July S.-The following

Gold mining in California is treated by
the News Letter of San Francisco thusly:
The mining industry in this state keeps
picking up quietly all the time, with active
development work progressing in every
direction. The promoter has made rank
failure of nearly everything which he has
packed SO far. A few London jobbers have
put few pounds here and there to hold
an option upon property until circum-
stances favored working the dragnet pro-
cess all over Great Britain. The fall may
see them successful, and it may not for
the reason that offices of this description
in London are looked upon with more or
less suspicion by the better class of in
vestors, and very likely SO. California has
suffered in reputation in the past by lust
such schemers, and with such examples
before them as the Hex, Josephine, Union
Gold and a dozen other rascally concen-
tions of the promoter, can it be wondered
that foreign investors are inclined to fight
shy of ventures from this end which NAV
end in a similar manner?
