The Stock Market,

New York, July 1.-The course of to- days stock market was one of aimless drifting until near the close, when some appearance of animation and strength developed throughout the list. This was doubtless in large part due to the covering demand by belated shorts who did not care to leave their contracts open over the three days holiday The buying at the close lifted prices to the top level and made not gains extending to over a point in exceptional cases. During the earlier part of the day the market was almost entirely stagnant, many active stocks showing not a sin gle quotation.
 It looked very much as though the closing up of contracts incident to the eve of a three days suspension of trad ing had all been completed yesterday, and there was no disposition to venture

State League. NEW HAVEN WON FROM NEW
BRITAIN YESTERDAY.


 NEW HAVEN WON FROM NEW
 BRITAIN YESTERDAY.
 It was New Haven's turn to win and she defeated New Britain in good style at Elm City park yesterday. The game was interesting throughout, and was witnessed by fairly large crowd. Roth teams hit the ball hard and fre- quently and New Havens victory was due to the change of pitchers at the end of the sixth inning, Volendorf talk ing Ashes place. In the third New Haven had a lead of four runs, which was tied by New Britain in the seventh. In the seventh New Haven scored two more. Robinson went out on a fly to center. O'Brien and Pfen- ninger secured triples in quick success sion and after Yaw had popped up & little infield fly Luchia hit for the third triple of the inning, but was left on third by McHugh's out at first Af- ter New Britain had again tied the score in the eighth, New Haven by means of Parents triple, two singles and several errors added four more to the score.
 Robinson and McHugh, both well known amateurs of the city, were siv- en trials on the New Haven team. Robinson played a star game in right, and his throwing to home earned vigor- ous app;ause and favorable comments from the crowd His error was due to the roughness of the field and was ex- cusable He secured two singles out of four times at the bat.
 Parent again played star game and got four hits, one of them triple. He can always be depended upon to hit the ball at the right time.
 For New Britain, Marr, Vickery and Sullivan batted we'll while Saunders played an excellent game at second, accepting eight chances without an er- TOT. The score by innings: New Haven.3 2 0 0 o 2 4 *-11 New Britain.1 0 3 2 o 2 O. 2

upon fresh commitments on account of the conflicting possibilities in the out look. On the part of the bears there was to be feared the effect of the prob able fall of Santiago or the occupation of Manila.
 The possibility of serious harm to the crops at this critical stage deterred op- orators from engagements on the long side. There is still some doubt felt as to how the money market will come through the taking up of the govern ment loan. The announcement from Washington that subscriptions for small amounts already accepted foot up SAC, ,0000 900 indicates that the future strain on the money market will be cas- ed by that much. It is confidently be- lieved that the volume of small sub scriptions by savings bank depositors who have held off to secure their half yearly interest will be largely augment ed between now and July if. Among the special movements to-day are to be noted advances in all the local traction stocks in anticipation of good traffic re- turns for the approaching holiday. The price of Great Northern preferred, shorn of it's cash dividend and it's new stock privilege, was fixed to-day at 125. This is the equivalent of about points advance over. yesterdays high record price of 1S0, with dividend and privi- leges on. The movement in Pullman, which was quite cratic within a range of five points, reflected hopes and fears over the executed surplus distribution.
 The only feature of the bond market was an advance of 1% in Wisconsin Central first trust receipts. The total sales were $1,420,0O0

In Boscobel-a thriving town,
Where marts are rather less than farms
We have some warriors of renown
Who quite refuse to doff their arms
Though peace has long since been assured,
These patriots will not hear the knell
OF martial things. We can't be cures
OF fighting. up at BoscobeL
The squire comes forward with his map,
And says that any one might know
That sending this or t'other chap
To such place spoiled SO and so.
And Doc says any other plan
Would never have turned out so well.
And then We have It, man to man.
They make things warm at Boscobel
And so for city haunts l HE,
Where naught is heard except the sound
OF carts and cable cars that ply
All patiently their usual round:
Where turmoil will at evening cease.
For human judgment cannot tell
With any certainty when peace

The Chinese railways which have occa-
stoned so much discussion, and which are
still mostly on paper, may be divided into
four systems-the Manchurian, East China,
Central China and South China The Man
churian system includes those planned to
connect the Trans Siberian road with Port
Arthur and Picking, via Kirin and Mukden.
The Peking connection is to be via New
chwang, Shan-h8j-kWan and Tentsin
The section from Reking to Tientsin and to
Shan-hai-kwan is completed, and it Is the
extension to Newcbwang, contracted for by
an English bank, but wlhich Russia desires
to control, that has raised the latest dis
turbance. The East China system is under
the initiative of Ypng Wing. SO well known
in this country, and proposes to connect
Picking with ChingAiang near the mouth of
the Yangtse, with extensions to Shanghai
and connecting with ,cthe German Kiao-
chau in the province Of Shantung. This is
as yet purely on papege and the concession
Is by no means agreed upon. The Central
China system as yet Includes only the IA
nous Picking H anifau .ar Liu-Han line, ex-
tending in a SouthWesterly direction from
Picking through the province of Honan to
Henkau, on the Yangtse. The Importance
Of this railroad arises sfron the fact that
1T will open up che great valley OF the
4angtse, and also that 1t will run very
close to the coal and iron mines of Shansi
and Honan, recently secured to an Anglo
Italian company. The concession for the
road is given to Belgian syndicate repre-
senting France and Russia, and thus, If
Russia's claims are allowed, is definitely
in Russian power A short portion only is
complete, the greater part not even vet
having been surveyed. The South China
system includes roads connecting Bhamo
in British Burma and Hanoi in French
Tongkin with Yunnan and cities on the
Si-kiang or West river. These are not vet
planned, but are being considered.

Capt. Capron's Gallant Feat.

rum iue san Francisco Examiner.
Army officers and National Guardsmon
have not forgotten a notable incident on
the Preside grounds in the early part Of
1888, when the courage and superb horse
manship of Capron saved the lives of a
woman and her two children. II was on a
morning when the LIST Troop OF California
Cavalry, then under the command of Cam
tain Blumenberg, was at drill on the largo
parade ground. Sergeant Capron was in
tereSted in the drill of the troopers and
sat on his horse on the main road watch
ing the evolutions. A light carriage, drawn
by two spirited horses, entered the I,om.
bard gate and proceeded in the direction
Of the post buildings. In the vehicle were
an elderly woman and two little girls. The
carriage passed Capron, and when about
100 yards west of his position something
scared the horses, and they bolted along
the drive at a terrific pace turning into a
SIDE road and racing furiouSly on a broken
half grade.
Capron kicked the spurs into his horse in
an instant and dashed around the slope TO
intercept the team. When he reached the
road again the team was approaching on a
mad galop. The officer saw no tine could
be lost If the lives Of the woman and chill
dren were to be saved. At the risk of his
own life he trotted into the center of the
road and waited for the collision with the
team The two carriage horses continued
their wild run. and in a few moments
crashed against the troop horse of C,apron.
He dropped his own reins, and, leaning
over his horses head. caught both rum
