THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Aug. 14.-There was another
striking illustration today of the inherent
strength for the market for stocks, heavy
offerings to realize at the opening being
readily absorbed and g strong fresh buy
ing impulse invited by the lower level of
prices. The new impulse soon turned the
tide of prices to an upward course once
more, wiping out the sharp early losses
and establishing net gains for the whole
list. The early decline extended to from
11s to points in many prominent stocks
and the subsequent rise established net
gains of l to 2 points in many stocks.
The Grangers were foremost in activity
and in the width of thev ariations in
prices. The industrial stocks again took
quite a prominent place in the trading
Sugar advanced fully ~ after an early
decline and Tobacco, after a loss Of 2A,
rallied 2h. The aggregate sales wero
272,4S shares.

CRIMINALS FINGERS DEFORMED
A Deficiency of Size or Number Quite
Common Among Offenders.

According to La Medicine Modern DR..
P. Penta has studied the fingers and
toes of 4,5o0 criminals, and finds de-
ficiency in the size or number of toes
quite frequent among them, although
very rare among ordinary men. He
has also observed that prehensile toes,
marked by wide space between the
great toe and the second toe, is a con-
dition quite common among criminals,
also a web-bed condition Of the toes,
an approximation to the toeless feet of
some savages.
The little toes are also rudimentary
in many cases, showing IL tendency
toward the four-toed animal foot; but
the most common of all the abnormali-
ties was the webbed condition of the
toes
