STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
Selling For Foreign Account Robs the

Selling For Foreign Account Robs the
Market of Its Strength.
New York. Aug. 1.-THE stock market
today continued to show itself sensitive
to unfavorable influences to a marked
degree. At no time during the day did
the course Of price indicate any aggres-
siveness Of strength. The liquidation at
times was quite heavy. especially in tho
international stocks and the grangers.
The principal factor in the situation
was the heavy selling for foreign ac-
count OF wheat, sales for that account
being estimated at between 1000, 900 and
100000 for the day. 1t was but natural
that the depression should be caused
by the disposition of foreigners to sell
back to us the wheat they have pur"
chased. This developed In the situation
gave the greatest aid to the professional
bears. who have been working so per-
ststcntly for the reaction in the price
of stocks They were also assisted by tho
rcactionary tendency in the London
stock market. Closing bids:

Baltimore Wants It's Taxes.

Street car conductors in Baltimore
are to be under double surveillance for
o time. In addition to the inspectors
of fare registers employed by the
companies the park board of the city
has employed forty on its own behalf.
The interest of the park board in the
matter concerns the city's getting its
full share of taxes from the railway
companies for the maintenance of the
public parks. Under the law the
street car companies pay into the Park
fund per cent. of their receipts from
fares collected within the old city
limits, the tax being levied on the re-
ceipts in proportion to the relative per-
centage of the trackage within the
city limits to that outside.
For years the returns from this tax
were sufficient to maintain the city
parks, but since the electric develop
ment and the extension of the street
railroads further into the suburbs the
gross receipts upon which the city col
lects its tax have become 80 much less
that the avails are insufficient for park
purposes. For this reason the park
board is questioning the equity of the
mileage system of measuring gross
receipts, and its employment Of in
spectors may be preliminary TO the
devising of new plan of appor;ion.

THE SECRET OF POWER.

II so, by chance. he takes . stand,
Assumes position Of command,
Surprised approval greets him then,
And you shall hear from other men:
"Somo weighty reason lays behind
An act 50 foreignto his kind"
When things 20 wrong his movelcss state
Is credited TO scorn OF fate
So softly to himself he swears,
IT'S thought he murmurs pious prayers,
He's 30 misjudged, his flaws at length
Are twisted into points OF strength.
Poor humankind awaits command
From all IL doesn't understand,
And he may work his own sweet will
Who has the art Of keeping still.

OF all the men whom I admire
There's not one who may aspire
To stand a. high. and none who can
As does the truly 'quiet man."
II any being on the earth
Gets credit far beyond his worth,
That one can be none other than
This unobtrusiye "quiet man."
No matter what's within his head
His silence Is interpreted
To be sign that wisdom lies
Behind his Inexpensive eyes.
II so he drops word or two.
His friends will search EN- through
and through
To meanings deeper IN intent
Than e'er the speaker thought or meant.
