THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Aug. 23.-There was moth
ing in the general situation either in
the political or business world to ac-
count for a reaction in stocks today.
The market was simply overbought and
was subjected to a process of testing,
which, whether designed to do so or
not, inevitably readjusts prices to the
true basis of value. Yesterdays heavy
profit taking on the part of some of
the powerful interests who had been
buying stocks in the confidence that
they would advance in price. led the
way naturally to today's movement.
In the Grangers even the outside buy
ing, which SO eagerly absorbed these
stocks for some time past, showed a
marked dimunition, and there was a
decline of Ia to ia in the Changers at
midday. The railroad list generally
moved downward in sympathy with
the grangers, Metropolitan Street Rail-
way rose at one time Z points without
any news to account for the movement.
The International paper stocks, Rio
Grande Western. West Chicago, North
west Chicago Terminal preferred, and
a number of other stocks gave evidence
of special strength in face of the gen.
eral tendency of the market. There
was a very marked falling off in ac-
tivity after the midday shaking out
suggestive of a pausing to take breath.
The days net declines are mostly small
but the greater part of the days busi-
ness was done at prices materially
lower than the closing. The total sales
were 53S, 200 shares.

AN ADMIRABLE APPOINTMENT.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


If the whole art of government con-
sists, as has been said, in the faculty Of
choosing the right man for the right
place" President Mckinley has made a
master stroke in appointing Colonel John
hay, the American ambassador in Great
Britain, to the office of secretary of state
in place OF Judge Day. If the men best
qualified to judge in America had been
asked TO ns me the person whose fitness
marked him for the post, the greater
number would no doubt have mentioned
Colonel Hay, whose whole life has been
a preparation for the important duties
OF stateCraft. The generous Intellectual
gifts bestowed on him by nature, Colonel
Hay has assisted by the utmost diligence
and most studiouS care, and his varied
and brilliant career as scholar, author,
editor, lawyer soldier ard diplomat has
produced well-rCunded and complete
| man of affairs.
A glance at Colonel Hays lifework Will
suffice to show that he is a trained dip
lomat, as the word is understood abroad,
where it is justly deemed ridiculous to
entrust delicate and complicated matters
of international import to the care of a
mere politician or any one else who has
| not the skill and knowledge of negotia-
| ton, which comes alone from long train
| ing and seasoned experience. Colonel
Hay, after his Brown university course,
studied law in the Office of Abraham Lin
| coin, whose private secretary he after
ward became. Before the end of the war
| he served as a staff officer under Gener-
| ais Hunter and Gilmore and after the
war was srcceasively secretary of lega-
| ton at Paris. charge d'affaires in Vienna,
| and secretary of legation at Madrid
| From 1879 to 1881 he was first assistant
| secretary of state at Washington, and III
| March last was appointed to the court of
| ST. James Colonel Hay has at times
| acted as the editor of the New York Trlb-
une, and his literary productions are
genuine contributions to American liter
| ature. The most striking characteristic
of the man is his vcrsatility-.his "many-
sdedness." His "Castilian Days" has
the delicacy, the charm, the lightness of
touch of literary playfulress; his Life Of
| Lincoln, written in collaboration with
John G. Nico!ay, is a work of monument
tai laboriousness, which must serve as the
storehouse from which future hosraph-
| ers of Lincoln will draw their materials,
and his poem, "Jim Bludso," has rude
strength which breathes with a certain
| elemental vigor and freshness. He is a
| sound constitutional and International
| lawyer, a scholar without pedantry, wit,
| a genial man, and as Sidney Smith would
| say, "he has as much sense as II he had
no wit and as much wit as If he had no
| sense"
| 1t is a fortunate circumstance that such
| a man has been found to conduct our tor-
eign affairs at this period of our history.
