there was some strength in the othe:
Coalers. Meantime the short interest
on Consolidated Gas showed signs OF
distress and marked up the stock S32
eX-diVidend. The bears were inclined
to cover in the other industrials, but
realizing in Continental Tobacco pre-
ferred on the declaration of the first
dividend caused them to decline again.
This was continued in Republic Steel,
but the promising movement in Federal
Steel late yesterday was promptly met
by realizing this morning, and the stock
of the company was heavy all day
Chicago and Illinois showed indlvid-
ual strength and the common gained
61a and preferred Az. Colorado Mid
land preferred and Rio Grande, West
ern common, and preferred were strong.
The persistent heaviness of the mar
ket and the marking up of call loans
prompted d general selling movement
in the last hour which carried off prices
to the low point of the day. There was
a slight hardening in railroads, but the
Industrials were attacked again in the
final dealings. The scarcity of money
was attributed to preparations for the
regular monthly settlements. But the
New York banks continue to lose cash
to the treasury on account of customs
and internal revenue payments and
there is a balance of shipments to the
interior over receipts. New York ex-
change at the principal interior points
continues at discount. Money condi-
lions abroad continue to grow easier.
Exchange bills on London and Paris re-
coded a fraction in New York today
The bond market was rather quiet and
changes were small and irregular. To-

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE,

New York, Aug. 31.-There were many
items in the days news which favor
ed an advance in the prices of securi-
ties. They were apparently effective
early in the day, but the gains, except
in a few individual cases, We're pretty
much wiped out before the close Of the
market. The Improvement in the tone
of speculative markets abroad gave an
impulse to prices at the opening. Lon
don bought quite freely OF a group Of
favorites among the Internationals.
The buying from this source is attri-
buted to the operations of a prominent
New York operator making a holiday
sojourn in London.
After the orders for London account
had been executed in this market the
railroad stocks fell somewhat into the
background, and the industrials We're
brought forward. The leaders of the
group, especially the Tobaccos, We're
under rather severe pressure, and show
ed sharp declines. Later there was
some Improvement on the strength of
the strong showing made by several
railroads in the July statements of
earnings. Burlington was leader with
an increase in surplus after charges of
over S450.000 The statements for the
same period of the Pennsylvania, Lou
isville and Nashville, Union Pacific and
Lehigh Valley all showed strikingly
prosperous conditions.
The Central Georgia railway formed
marked contract with decline in net
earnings of nearly $25,000 compared
with July Of last year. The publication
Of these statements gave some firmness
to the railroads for time. Lackawan-
ma was marked up on the settlement Of

of the bullish sentiment, and they began
to play for reaction, bringing about
quite general realizing during the first

THE MONKEY BREAD TREE.
Its Fruit Is Used to Prepare the
AciduIous Drink to Cure
Feyers.

Cape Eerde-that is. the Green Cape
is said to owe its name in part to the
foliage of the AdamsOnia digitata,
which adorns the whole of Senegambia
and Guinea with its green elliptic
arches; full-grown tree presenting at
a distance almost the appearance of a
forest, says the Philadelphia Press. Ac-
cordino to AdamsOn. trees are met with
havinb a diameter of 30 feet. although
the height of the tree is moderate, vary
ing from so to go feet
The lower branches, however, shoot
out to an incredible length at first in
a horizontal direction. These are COW
cred with an immense foliage, which.
from its weight, causes them to bend
toward the ground. and thus there is
presented a huge hemispherical mass
of yerdure, 12G, 40 or even 80 feet in
diameter, and perhaps 60 feet in height.
The fruit is an obiong. dull green,
downy body, eight or nine inches long,
containing several cells, in which there
is a number of hard shining seeds, inn
mersed in a soft pulp, which IS scarce
" juicy. From this pulp the native
negroes prepare an acidulous drink,
much used in the fevers of the country,
The bruised leaves in a dry state
form a substance called halo, which
they mix with their food and imagine
it useful in checking or counteracting
the effects of profuse perspiration. All
the soft parts of the tree are emClllent
or mucilaginOUs.
