park by Colonel Henry Kennedy when
he bought 1t at auction, increased by
few other assets
The association was chartered by the
legislature in 1871 with capital stock
of 100000. Only $4,000 of the stock
was ever taken, and although many of
the earlier race meetings were profit
able, there came time, some ten years
ago, when the association had 100000
mortgage upon Its property and was in
bad shape because Of Improbable meet
ings. At that time the stock was
scaled at 40 per cent, and 5000 of new
stock raised among the members. The
mortgage was paid off and the asso-
citation started under new auspices. The
anti-pool law passed by the legislature
Of 1895, frightened the directors. The
stockholders were called together and
they voted to sell the property and wind
up the affairs of the association.
At the time of the sale which was by
auction, there was no mortgage in
cumbrance on the property, but thsre
was a floating Indebtedness of some 81
200 for care of the park and repairs
upon the building. In addition, there
was pending suit by Isaac Sanderson
for the stakes in colt race in which he
had entered. but which had been de-
clared off by the association, the sea
son previous to the sale. This suit was

Stock Market Duh and Net Changes

Stock Market Dull and Net Changes
Trivial.
New York, Dec. 31.-To-day's market
for stocks was very dull, and net
changes for the most part are trivial,
and are divided amongst gains and
losses without much semblance Of con-
sistency or order. The local traction
securities were the favorites as has been
the case for many days past and they
rose at one time sharply above last
nights level under the belief that they
would benefit even if the proposed
rapid transit project was consummated.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit enjoyed spec
ial advantage from the reported judicial
decision denying an injunction against
The use of the western bridge terminus
for loop. This4stoc was at one time
tx above last nights level and held
over a point of this gain. Sugar was
also a strong feature and rose at one
time IL, but held only fraction Of
that amount. The Vanderbilts We're
traded in ex-dividend to-day and re-
covered part of their dividend, Lake
Shore gaining point. Other stocks
which were notably strong were Buffa-
10, Rochester and Pittsburg common
and Spirits Pfd,s which gained two
points each. There was considerable
activity in the grangers with early
strength, Burlington crossing par but
later recessions carried prices below
last nights level. News this morning
from foreign exchanges disspated

Its Dark Shadows Brought Home with
SorrovfuI Force to One Family.
Saturday morning a newspaper carrier
rang the bell at one Of the houses at the
arsenal in this city with unusual violence,
relates the Washington Post. The front
door was open and he threw a paper into
the hall. A lady opened the door to inquire
the cause of the disturbance. The carrier
remarked: There has been a big battle
down in Cuba and Captain Capron has been
killed"
Mrs. Capron, for 1t was she, staggered
against the balustrade of the stairway and
kept herself from falling. In a few sec
onds a servant, who had been startled by
the ringing of the doorbell, found her stand
ing there almost beside herself from horror
and despair. She assisted her to a couch
and called the garrison surgeon, who lives
next door. He administered restoratiyes
and she was soon able to ask whether 1t
was her husband or her son who was killed
and read the story of the battle of Juragua,
in which her son took such a gallant part.
This awful news found Mrs. CaRron nursing
a 14-year-old boy who is near the point of
death with typhoid fever. He has been i'll
for several weeks, but his disease has not
yet reached a crisis. Her husband, Captain
Capron of the First artillery. is with General
Shafter, and his troops and guns are prob
ably being unloaded from one OF the trans
ports today. II was her son, Captain
Allyn Capron, jr., who, was killed. A year
ago another son committed suicide. There
are two children left, the sick boy and a
son about II. The wife of Captain Capron
jr., is at Fort Sill, Lot. 81 Young Caprou
belonged to a fighting family. His grand
father was captain OF the First artillery in
the Mexican war and was killed at the bat
tie of Cherubusco. His father was graduated
at the military academy iniIS73 and is nov
captain Of the same battery the grandfather
commanded. and he has two cousins in the
army. Mrs. Capron was a Miss Nissan o
Brooklyn.
Young Capron, failing TO receive an ap.
pointment as cadet in the military academy
enlisted in the army as a private, hoping
to secure a commission by promotion. III
worked hard for it and finally succeeded II
being appointed second lieutenant in tn
Fifth infantry by President Cleveland, II
which he made a splendid record. Whel
Colonel Wood commenced the organizatioI

tary of war to detail Captain Capron I

CONDITION OF NEW YORK BANKS.
Deposits ut This Time Surpass All
PrcXiOuH ReCOrda.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The Financier
says: An expansion of S12, 52G, 800 in de-
posts, necessitating an extra reserve re-
quirement of 50 .13l, 700, against which the
| gain in cash was only 81, 939, 600, accounts
for a decrease of $l92, 700 in the surplus re-
| serve OF the New York clearing house
banks for the week ending July 2. The
unusual expansion in DEPOSITS is due
mainly to the fact that the government
funds received from bond subscriptions are
being placed in special depository banks.
Thus the National City and the Hanover
holding this money, report between them
n gain of over SO, 0O1, 600 in deposits, or l5
per cent of the total increase for the week;
The gain in loans, however, runs well
throughout the entire list of banks and Is
one of the most favorable developments
of the week. In the last ninety days the
loan expansion has been sos, 900, 600, and the
total is now about the same amount under
the extraordinarily high point attained
all previous records by $12, 600, 900, and in
view of the special operations OF the treas.
ury, will probably. attain within the next
recorded. The current statement is con-
fusing and does not balance, but the opera
lions which are bringing about the changes
are well defined and will continue to show
for some weeks to come. The important
point is that the surplus reserve seems to
have attained it's highest average. $
heavy as treasury expenses are, In view
of tho war, they will hardly equal the re-
ceipts on bond subscription account, and
while n large part of the extra money will
go into specially designated banks. the

where, and these requirements will have
to be met. After July II the allotments
and larger bids will call into use a great
deal of money now lying idle. All these
circumstances will have a tendency to en-
ploy money, and while no one looks fol
anything approaching a stringency, money
will not be a drug on the market, despite
the fact that the country possesses some
thing like SIZE, 100000 of specie and Other
currency which it did not have at this time
last year.

SHEEP-There were only two cars re-
ported in the yards and they came in late.
They were mixed western lambs. The mar
ket did not show any very material change.
The offerings of sheep and lambs have
been very light at this point all the week
past and for several weeks in fact. The
rec eipts of the week, as will be noted from
the table of figures given at the head of
this column were not so bad, but of the
arrivals a considerable proportion was
shipped direct to packers, while of the bal
ance quite a good many were not of the
KIND calculated to stimulate free buying.
on most days, in fact, there have not been
enough desirable mutton. sheep or lambs on
sale TO make a test of the market. Still
other markets have been lower and II might
be safe to say that had there been any
here to amount to anything the market
would have been all of 106t20c lower on
lambs. Very few spring lambs have been
received here but they are bringing the
best prices in years for this season Of the
year. In the language of the yards they
are as high as a house. Lambs AVE been
good sellers all this season. When Colo
RADIO lambs stopped coming spring lambs
began to put in an appearance in the mar
kets of the country and the demand has
been in excess of the supply right along.
