HALE ADMITS HIS SHORTAGE.
Justice Cole Takes His Appeal for
Release Under Advisement.


Charles B. Hale. formerly guardian of
Mrs. Josephine NJ. Cooper, and who was
committed to Jail in June, by Justice Brad
ley, for contempt, in refusing to comply
with an order of court requiring him 10
make a report of his stewardship, was TO-
day examined under oath before Justice
Cole. considering probate business.
The Investigation OF Hates Iffahagement
Of the Cooper estate, began yesterday, on
the application by his attorney, E. c. Col
laday for his release from Jail. 1t was
contended by his attorney that the contin-
ued confinement of Hale would serve no
purpose, except that of revenge; that he
had no property which might be converted
into cash, to make good his shortage In
his wards funds, but that il he were re-
leased he Is willing and ready to go to
work and refund the money he has appro-
priated to his own use. '..i a.
The amount of the shortage is between
81 800 and 81, 400. When Hale was called
upon to testify today he made no hesita-
ton in admitting that he inappropriate
his wards money. He said that he spent
all Of it in drink, and offered no other ex-
cuse. In reference to the statement that
he had purchased pair of diamond ear
rings for his wife he said it Is false. The
only thing which he purchased with the
money he took from Mrs. Cooper was a
sideboard for which he promised to pay
$40 but only paid S5 on account.
Attorney C.. C. Tucker representing
Mrs. Cooper. contended that. in the face
of the fact that Hale admitted stealing the
funds with which he was entrusted, it
would be bad precedent for him to be re-
leased simply because after brief con-
fnement in Jail he states that he has
no funds with which to make good his
shortage. Justice Cole took the matter
under adyisement and remanded Hale to

WEEKLY REVIEW OF FINANCES.
No Very Extensive Parchnses of Sc
curities Noted In Dealings.

No Very Extensive Purchases of Sc
curitfes Noted in Dealings.
New York, Aug. 5.-The Evening Suns
financial review of the week says today:
While the comparative inertia of the
stock market is exceedingly irksome to
restless spectators, it is nevertheless a
logical and desirable attribute at this time.
There are a number of uncertain elements
in the situation and the outlook, and, whlta
the situation at large also comprises niany
new features OF undoubted strength, it is
upon those that the advance in
prices was based. and upon which it now
rests. AT all events, it is plain that the
public consideration of the situation at
large is not leading to extensive purchases
of securities. Neither is 1t causing any
considerable liquidation on the part OF per-
sons who have already invested in secrri-
ties Hence the comparative quiet thar
mars the current dealings in the stock mar
ket. While it Is the fashion to ascribe the
prevailing dullness To the season OF the
year, that reason rs hardly satisfactory
cne, as some OF Wall Streets most active
speculative periods have been in midsum
mer.
While upon the subject of the relief to be
expected from the autumn outflow of our ag-
ricu turai products with the logical reflection
in the foreign exchanges, the question OF
importarions of gold from Europe naturally
arises. Sterling rates have declined grad
uaIly throughout the week, but the con-
sensus of opinion among the largest deal
ers in exchange is that an import move
-ment of gold Is still remote. The money
markets at all the great European capitals
are relatively as close as that of New York.
The pending schemes of currency reform
undertaken by Russia and Japan and to be
followed by other countries, absorb quickly
the vast production of South Africa and
other quarters. as ii poarS into the Lor-
doa markets. Political considerations are
also to be taken into account at this time OF
calculations as TO whsthsr Europe will part

receipts of gold at San Francisco alone for

establishment of much higher rates than
those now prevailing on the local money

these general premises it seems that the
safe conclusion may be drawn that whffS
the prospects favor an active money market
this autumn there are no grounds for ex-
pecting distressing stringency-

Strange Disease Among Cattle.

Middletown, N Y, Aug. 5.-A strange
disease has attacked a herd OF fifteen
young cattle belonging to William Carr, o.
Qnarryville. One of the COWS became
blind few days ago. and in short time
fourteen others were similarly afflicted
First a white speek appeared upon the pu-
pill, then spread into a film. covering the
eye. The young cattle afflicted were in a
field isolated from tn, COWS and had not
been herded with them since last winter.
Veterinarians are puzzled over the dis
ease but are hopeful of a cure.

The grangers were all sold this morning
and before the end of the season were two
to three points below the high figures of
the week. Wheat and corn are still CELL
ing at the lowest prices of the season and
the reports OF both crops are favorable III
the extreme compared with what they were
a month or two ago. 1t is believed by
many careful people that the grangers
should be bought at this level, and espe-
cially Rock Island, st. Paul and Atchison
preferred. The Rock Island statement for
June is an excellent one. although the
figures of the increases are perhaps not
quite so large as had been expected. The
gross earnings increased $1S8.000 and the
net s92, 900. For the period from April 1
to June 80 the gross increased only $54. 500
and the net income only $40, ,750.

The securities that have been most
buoyanI during the past few days suffered
most in the realizing, naturally American
Tobacco which went as high as Ill yes
terday went off three or four points from
that level and seemed inclined to sag fur
ther. The Continental Tobacco securities
also declined sharply. The Tennessee Coal
and Iron and Colorado Fuel and Iron
stocks held up fairly well until the state
ment appeared. but after that sagged of a
point or more each. Federal Steel and
American Steel and Wire were dull with
a downward tendency.
There is a dispositions In some quarters
to believe that the advance. in American
Tobacco is over for the present at least,
but 1t Is doubtful II the insiders have yet
sold out their stock to any extent and un-
TIL this is done il Is not likely that they
will allow it to decline far.
Tennessee Coal and Iron and the other
coal and iron stocks are not likely to have
much decline at present and their advance
may continue next week. It is pointed out
by new friends of Tennessee Coal and
Iron that 1t may be bought with more
safety now than ever before for the reason
that the trade is SO buoyant that there is
not likely to be panic in the stock. This
