NEW YORK, August 1S-The reaction
In prices Of stocks which has been looked
for for several days came in the late
trading to-day The professional traders
have been eagerly anticipating this action
Of the market, and have several times
sought to bring IL about by attacking
stocks with short sales. They were having
fair success yesterday when the an
nouncement OF the increase in the Bur-
lington dividend put them to rout. The
subsequent upward surge OF the market
served 20 make ii all the more Vulnerable
to bear attack, and they opened their
guns this morning with an onslaught on
Tobacco, Peoples Gas, and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. Although this assault
came with very heavy realizing offerings
in the Changers and Paciflcs and some
other recent favorites, the outside demand
for stocks was so enormous as to take
the market away from the professionals,
and lift prices upward in furiously active
and very widely distributed trading. But
there came a time later in the day when
the outside demand was for the time sat
isfied, and when the recent purchasers OF
stocks were still anxious to take the
handsome profits accrued upon them. The
bears kept nibbling at the list, and made
an aggressive attack in the last hour'

Mr. oscar II. Berry, the head Of this
great establishment. has had a wide and
varied experience in the clothing business.
H. first started I'm the business in 1870,
rtprescnting a large New York importing
and iobbing-house lie remained with the
firm for seven years. when he returned TO
Richmond. and connected himself with
the branch house in this city OF JonH
Wanamaker then located on the south
east corner Of Tenth and Main streets.
After two years with this firm, Mr. Berry
associated himself with Mr.. George Is.
McAdams, and purchased the business
conducting it thereafter under the hrih-
name OF McAdams & Berry.
BOUGHT MR.. MADAMS OUT
The firm met with great success, aad In
1884 Mr.. Berry bought out Mr.. IA Adams $
interest. and continued the large ana
growing business under the iirm-name OF
o. II. Berry & CO., the company felng
nominal. Altogether, Mr.. Berry Nad Teen
located for eighteen years 1T the ktano
from which he has just moved, ana du-
ring that time his business grew steacly
with each year, until IL became necesSf ry
Tor him 10 secure more commodiOus quar-
tors. Then II was that he purchased me

and moving his large stock OF clothing III
with that purchased from Saks he has
store as large as any in the South and a
stock which he thinks Is larger and more
complete than any in the South.
Some time ago Mr.. Berry. together with
the heads OF his various departments
went North and ordered the goods Tor
his fall trade. They are now In process
OF manufacture. and II IS expected that
they will be here within the next thirty
days IL, therefore, becomes necessary

COALLNG STATIONS N VAR

The United States feet IN Asian waters suffers
In n measure the same disadvantage the Spanish
feet will suffer In American waters. II IS re
mote from an assured coaling and repair station
The requirements Of the neutrality laws have
turned 1t out Of Hong Kong and barred all other
British ports against II for n time. and would
prevent It from finding asylum for more than
twenty -four hours in port OF any other Power
1t must therefore literally work out its own
salvation" II must conquer the opposing fleet
and capture Spanish port ont OF which 1t can
make for itself coaling station in the enemy's
country. The Spanish difficulty in American
waters will be similar, excepting that the Span
ish fleet will be fghting to get use Of stations
which already nominally belong to Spain.
There is a good deal of satisfaction in this
country over this state OF affairs AS applied to
Spain II is seen that II the Spanish fleet
comes over here and cannot get into a coaling
port and then gets out OF coal 1t Will be lost.
That is entirely true. And It Is the patriotic
expectation OF Americans that such fate will
befall tho enemy r. indeed, n more violent one
Is not first administered by our own ships.
But It Is equally a patriotic duty TO guard
against the falling OF such fate upon the
American Navy There IS no conceallng nor ig-
lnOrlng the 1uct tnIt SnOulu us cOal supply give
out before 1t conquers port or should It be de-
feated In battle, the American fleet in the China
Sea would be in an awkward plight. The near
est American coalng station Is $500 miles
away There would be no hope Of getting
thther, so the fleet would have to depend upon
the chance Of finding n few hours hospitality
in a French or japanese port, and upon the not
particularly good chance Of coal in such clrcum-
stances not being reckoned contraband Of war.
Nothing could more convncingly emphasize
the need OF having An adequate number OF
coaling stations scattered about the world.
These are Of great service in peace. In war
the salvation OF the country might depend
upon them 1t has been common argument
against the acquisition OF such stations that
there would never be a war in which we should
need them But here we are actually engaged
IN such war, and at this moment feeling
keenly the need Of them. II Is some satisfac-
ton to know that we have n coang station at
Hawaii, 1000 miles nearer the scene OF need
than San Francisco 1t would be still better II
we had one at Samoa 500 miles nearer still, as
we should have had II the policy Of IMPROVE
dence had not prevailed And the question
now arises strongly whether, In the expected
