THE MARKETS.


New York, June 21.-Tbc character of
the market for securities was very little
changed today from that recently pre-
Vailing. Railroad stocks were neglected
and with few exceptions drilted to a
lower price level, the demand being Insult
ilcicnt to absorb even the small offerings.
The exceptions were the Vandcroills and
Rio Graudc which showed some strength.
Meantime individual spccialtics were
taken up and pushed forward mdCpend-
entity to u higher level without regard
to the general tendency in the market
and without influence upon it, There was
a sharp drive against Sugar and Peoples
Gas in the opening transactions which
reduced their prices near l per share.
This was apparently with a purpose on
the part of the bears to put a stop to the
upward tendency to some of the special
ties But the industrial stocks continued
to he influenced entirely by individual
losses and Sugar and Peoples Gas were
allowed to recover. Tobacco. the rub
ber stocks, spirits. preferred. Pull
man, Third avenue and Brooklyn Tran
sit I'll shower mu"kcd strength at one
time or another. the latter advancing to
near 81 on the very heavy buying In ihe
final hours.

TO HAVE A CONFERENCE.
A conference of the party leaders
will be held tomorrow night at the
headquarters of Chairman Garman to
formulate a platform and discuss the
policy of the campaign. The platform
will likely be devoted entirely to state
issues, with the exception of strong
war plank and a mild declaration re-
iterating the party principles Gs adopt
ed by the Chicago platform. meet
ing of the Democratic Press assoCia-
ton of Pennsylvania will also be held
tomorrow night to discuss campaign
issues.
There will be 430 delegates in the
convention. The jerks people claim
their candidate will have not less than
$50 on the first ballot, and that Judge
Gordon will do we'll if he gets one
hundred votes. On the other hand, the
Gordon managers profess to be conf
dent of his nomination. They believe
his visit here will turn the tide i'm his
favor and dissipate the strength of the
opposition. william J. Bryan, Of Ven

mate jerks. Michael J. Ryan, of Phil
adelphia. and a western Pennsylvania
delegate, whose name is withheld, will
do the honOrs for Gordon.

Attack British Soldiers in Gambia md
Burn Houses.
Gambia, Island Of Crete, is in a state
Of anarchy. A collision between the Mus
sulmans, who were demonstrating against
European control, and the British author
tiles, who have been installing Christians
as revenue officials, eliminated in bloody
fighting between the Mussulmans and the
British troops. Riots took place in va
rious parts of the city md many have
been killed. When the outbreak wa
fiercest a warship stationed in the harbor
began firing shells, with the result that q
portion of the city was soon in flames.
The greatest confusion and uproar pre-
vailed.
The trouble began with the attempt Of
the British military authorities to install
Christian officials. They had appointed a
council of internal control to administer
the 1.-THE revenues, and a detachment of
soldiers was stationed outside the Office as
a %precaution. A crowd of unarmed Mus
sulmans who had been demonstrating
against the Christians attempted to force
an entrance into the Office. The British
soldiers fred and wounded several. The
Musulmans ran for their arms and re-
turning attacked the soldiers. Other
Mussulmans spread rapidly through the
Christian quarter, shooting into windows
and setting many houses and shops ON
