A Professors Pushcart.

Soon after the sun rises tomorrow man of
swarthy complexion little past middle life. will
wheel a cart up TO the OF Clark and Wash
ington Streets and arrange its load of fruit in the
most inviting way for ready sale.
Then Chicago will have added another unique
character to its long bill-a linguist and a pro-
fessor of Greek as street vender.
Soleras ]. Geordades has taken out a permit to
run fruit stand.
He is a graduate of the university in Athens
and native of Sparta. After completing the
regular course he took a postgraduate course'
paving special attention to philology and Ian
guages other than his own. He became instructor
in Greek at the university in Berlin. Later he
made his hcme in Boston and gave instruction to
educators who wished to take an advanced course
in Greek Among these he taught were Prof.
Wheeler now instructor in Greek at Columbia
College and Prof. Thurber, of the University of
Chicago.
But while Solerias found fame as Greek sehol-
ar he found little remuneration. He decided that
he would rather go without the distinction and
have food than have the distinction with hunger
So that is how the professor will be seen behind
a fruit stand.

WOOL EXCHANGE sUsPENDs.
Depression In the Trade Is Said to
BE the Cause.


New York. Sept. 2S.-The Wool Ex-
change suspended operations in the wool
market today Depression in the wool
trade andathe, wool industry was said to
be the cause of it's abandoning that
branch of trade
The financial condition of the corpora
ton is said to- be excellent, and there are
no outstanding debts.
The Wool Exchange was established
about a 5eare and a half ago A ten
story building' was erected. The trading
room was on the ground floor. The other
floors were used for office purposes.
The object of the exchange was to pro-
vide a cooperative association of wool
growers, wool dealers. wooden manufac-
turers, general merchants, and forward
ers, bankers, brokers, and others inter-
ested in the industry of producing or
manufacturing wool. The exchange was
to bring the manufacturer and the grow
er together.
Auction sales have been held twice a
MONTH the idea being to provide quick
method for the distribution of surplus
wool.
The leading spirit in the organization
was James McNaughton, president OF the
Tradesmen's National Bank.

Col. Roosevelt had little to say concern
ing his nomination He expressed himself
entirely pleased with the platform and re-
garded it a very strong one. The plank
he said, which interested him most was
that on foreign policy. When asked as to
his campaign plans the colonel replied
that he had none yet. He said he had
been asked already to open the campaign
in Ohio and Illinois, but that all arrange

THE STOCK MARKET.
A Severe Shock Occasioned by the
Break In the IndustriIIs.

Break In the Industr1Uls.
New York. Sept 2S.-Speculation in the
stock market has evidently received Sc
we're shock by reason of the break in the
industrial shares. There may be no good
reason in point why the ST. Paul or the
Burlington Company should suffer be-
cause there is a war in the sugar refining
trade, or because the American Tobacco
Company finds it difficult to acquire rival
manufactures but In case speculator is
long of ST. Paul and American Tobacco
at the same time his position in the mar
ket is naturally weakened. Furthermore,
the course of the industrial shares has
plainly unsettled confidence and deranged
speculative sentiment. 1t disclosed the
extent to which manipulation was re-
sponsible for the buoyant speculation
which prevailed thirty days ago. and it
showed the ordinary speculator how he
was playing another mans game. Hence,
with the actual material situation favora-
Bile. as it is with the railways of the
country increasing their earnings and
their dividends, and with the money mar
ket tending TO the low level of June,
stock prices sag away. Yet. in effect, all
that has happened is that n few large
profits.
Today's market was of the same pat
tern as those of the week past Further
: liquidation appeared in the Industrial
stocks, though their prices showed huc-
tuations and at times they advanced
sharply. apparently on the covering of
short contracts. The dealings in the rail-
way list reflected entirely the demoralized
market for the industrial shares, and
were upon a comparatively small scale.
Still, the declines in the railway list were
of substantial proportions. though. as
noted, they could be considered only in
relation 10 the pronounced weakness in
the industrial shares. The day was prac-
tically bare of news of any kind
The foreign exchange market was a
shade firmer, but 100000 in gold was en-
gagged in London for shipment hither.
Only a languid interest seemed to be
taken in the State political situation and
1t was not a tangible influence in the
days market.
Sugar Refining and American Tobacco
were the leaders in respect of activity.
The fluctuations in Sugar Refining were
not very wide but American Tobacco
scored another sensational decline. More
or less severe declines in the Industrial
shares were also recorded. For the most
part they were simply the result OF the
profit-realizing sales and more or less
urgent liquidation that was noted in the
general market AT any rate, no more
definite explanations attached to their
course. In the railway list st. Paul. Bur
| lington and Quincy. and the Cleveland,
Lorain and Wheeling stocks were active
and weak.
London was not considerable factor
in this market.

There is very little new and of general
interest in the stock market. The tone
yesterday was irregular with a weak
opening, a little accession of strength to-
ward noon, and weakness in the last
hours of the day in most stocks. There
were exceptions to this rule, however,
among them Tobacco, which continued
very weak all day, and Sugar, which
closed at the highest price for the day.
Ii is very hard to get any expression of
opinion as to the future of the market.
There has been the look of strength so
many times in the last few weeks. ac
