THE STOCK MARKET.
Anthracite Stocks Suffer From
PrOfessIonaI Attack

StOckB Suuer FEOIn u
Professional Attack.
New York. Oct. 1.-THE anthracite coal
stocks broke violently In today's market
The decline In these stocks was not ac-
companied by any fresh developments of
an unfaverable nature in trade condi-
tions, which indeed are reported as Civ
ing signs of improvement. Nor was 1t
probable that the selling of these stocks
was based upon the projected New York
Scranton which the Independent coal op-
orators threaten to construct. for few
persons take that enterprise seriously. In
deed. today's break in those stocks SEEM
ed to be chiefly the outcome of pro-
fessional attack on the anthracite stocks.
Under this selling their prices yielded
readily and rapidly, and the stocks show
ed only a feeble rallying power.
Apart from this episode, the market
was dull and Its tone was uncertain. The
break in the anthracite coal stocks had
an unfavorable effect, for a time upon
the remainder of the list, but when the
pressure was lifted from these stocks
the general market became firm. Dur
Ing the morning trading was restricted
on account of the uncertainty as to
whether the Supreme Court would render
its decision in the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton case today, or, at least, that was
given an explanation of the dullness
prevailing, but there was little in the day S
situation calculated to induce active OPP
erations In the general market for specu-
lative account.
Manhattan was a conspicuously strong
feature of the market, the advance in
this instance being on reports that an
nouncement would soon be made in re-
gard to the company's electrical plans.
Metropolitan suffered another sharp
break, which was possibly reflection
of the strength of Manhattan. American
Tobacco and Sugar Refining went through
wide fluctuations, but showed better sup
port than for some time. The grangers
were steady.
A feature of the day was advance
in Government 3's to the highest figures
yet reached. London houses purchased
about 10,000 shares of stocks in this
market and the higher London prices
for American stocks We're reflected In
firm opening to the local market. The
market closed strong and active.

FINAL ALLOTMENT OF BONDS.
Entire Issue Has Been Taken Up by
Small bidders.

The Treasury Department has made
the final allotment of the 3 per cent war
bonds. The delay was due to the investi-
cation of certain alleged fictitious sub
scriptions, and to a settlement of disput-
ed claims.
The final allotment gives the full
amount desired to all subscribers up to
$500. Those who subscribe for that
amount will receive only 1880 of their
subscriptions. Those above 1880 Will get
no bonds at all, showing that the entire
issue of 500, 900 was taken up by sub
scribers in sums from $40 to Si.5J0.

was not equal to our decline at Satur-
days close. An interview with n promi-

There were several stories floating yes
terday regarding Manhattan, and the
people who have watched this stock pre-
dicted that there would be fluctuations in
1t. There was, in fact, an advance of
point and a half. to the highest figure of
the day at the close. One of the stories
was that Morgan and Sage are working
together on some deal for the property.
Another was that the finance committee
of the road have awarded the contract
for electrical equipment to Westinghouse.

was over. 1t was stated on pretty good
authority. however, that the executive
committee will today consider PROPOSE

companying the strength of Manhattan,
and a corresponding weakness for Metro

road gets its passengers at the expense
of the Broadway line and not from those
who have hitherto patronized the ele-
waited. The last suggestion of the day
was that Manhattan will be particularly
benefited if Van Wyck is elected On the
whole. 1t would seem very probable that
there will be a movement of some mo-
ment in Manhattan within the next few
days. There are few, however, who are
willing to speculate on their opinion as
to the direction in which this movement
will be.

one on "the Old Man"

When Dewey was first lieutenant of
one of the gunboats which Farragut
used as dispatch boat, the admiral
used often TO come aboard and steam
up near the leyee to reconnoiter. The
soutbeFners had way of rushing a
field piece to the top of the high banks,
firing point blank at the gunboat, and
then backing down again. Upon one
such occasion Farragut saw Dewey
dodge a shot. "Why don't you stand
firm, lieutenant?" said he don't you
know you can't jump quick enough?''
A day or so afterward the admiral
lodged a shot. The Lieutenant smiled
and held his tongue; but the admiral
had guilty conscience. He cleared
his throat once or twice, shifted his
attitude, and finally declared: "Why,
sir, you can't help it, sir. It's human
nature, and there's an end to it!"-

interfere with their studies, and that
he is as well stocked with ambition as
most boys who boast of twice his years.
