One Of York county's vigorous old
men is Israel Libby of Goodwin's Mills,
who is 70 years old. He has never
worn underclothing of any kind in his
life, says that he does not know what
the sensation of a headache is, has lost
but one tooth and never wore glasses.
Last September he was summoned to
attend the Alfred term of court and
walked from Goodwins Mills to Alfred

LITTLE CHANGE
 IN STOCK MARKET Business at Same Low Ebb as
 During Week. PRICES TURNED DOWNWARD Relaxation in Money Everywhere, and Opinion is That Higher Rates
 Will Rule in Future
 Bonds Were Dull
PRICES TURNED DOWNWARD

Now York. July A.-There was little change in the stock exchange today. business continuing at the same low ebb as during the week, which was the smallest weeks business for the year. A break in Consolidated Gas of 24a and a decline of over point in Sugar turned prices downward in the morning, but the bears were not disposed to be az gressive. Late in the day an active de- mand developed for New York Central. The whole market hardened in sympathy, Pennsylvania being conspicuousy affect ed. The early fractional losses were thus wiped out, and final prices were shade above those of Saturday as a rule. There were a few wide movements in the prices of individual stocks. Manhattan, Federal Steel, AmericanN|Oil preferred, and Lead were heavy at one time, and General Elec- trie fell off a fraction, but later rose over 2 points. closing at 121B. Pittsburg, Cleve- land, Columbus and St. Louis St. Louis and Southwestern preferred, the Iowa Gen. z tral stocks, the Pressed Steel Car stocks, and few others made some display of strength. The money markets of the world show continued relaxation from the recent strain, discounts in London and Berlin de- ciining an additional fraction, but while anxiety over the money outlook is for the moment relieved there is a general opin- ion that higher rates wull rule in the near future. Local money lenders are disin- clined to lend money on time at present rates, believing that higher rates will pre- vail later. Owing to the activity of trade, both in England and Germany, and the large speculative commitments at Paris and Berlin, there will undoubtedly be demand to borrow the credits established by the United States on account of food exports. Such loans were made on large scale last year. but 1t is evident that higher rates of interest will prevail to prevent of calling home this oountrY's credit during the com ing months, owing to the increased de- mand at home. It is this situation which has caused halt in speculation in securi- ties, both in this country and abroad.
 Bonds were dull and narrow today, and changes in prices were mixed. Total sales, par value, $1.650,000
 and the 3s, coupon, 1s in the bid price.

Talbott & Paimcr's stock Letter

By private wire from New York Sun.
 New York. July 24.-Duilness and uncer- trinty prevailed in the stock market to- day. The better feeling noticeable last week was displayed to some extent by a disposition to await developments in the monetary situation, but there was no pres was a tendency to view American shares favorably and follow the trend of prices here. As the local market displayed a sag ging tendency, however, it was reflected abroad, where final quotations were a shade under the opening figures, with sales reach ing a total of 5000 shares.
 Here there was an absence of news bear ing on the situation. Bear traders found 1t impossible to make capital out of Cieve- land labor troubles, and the Saturday bank statement, which they did not view in a particularly favorably light. Crop and rail- road reports continued to help give strong undertone to the trade situation. The mar ket opened slightly lower, with the excep- ton of the Traction shares, which, how ever. soon became heavy in sympathy with the remainder of the list. The market grad ually relapsed into slight dealings and dull ness. Traders made an intellectual attempt to force prices down, but as no outside pressing resulted. a rally set in New York Central. and Pennsylvania. while not influ- enced by rumors based on the future re- lations, were decidedly firm. The Late trading, which was extremely restricted in volume. was without incident. New York Central sold at the highest point Of the day on light buying.

There has been a fair business today, but it still looks to us as If cond- tions had been thoroughly discounted and on weak spots we firmly advise purchases.
 Corn-Conditions are of most favorable character. but values show a resistance to all the selling that is being done Anything that may develop in way of damage in the near future will bring to light a very large and unwieldly short interest put out by the eeVenth-hour bears
 OatS-Have not shown much animation but hold up very well. One hundred and ten thousand sold for export.

VERY PROMISING OUTLOOK

New York, July 24-The cotton markets were better than had been looked for and led to covering by more cautious shorts. But as a class the bears attached more importance to the generally favorable character of the weather conditions in the cotton belt, reports indicating that rains nad fallen almost every section heretofore threatened by drought. The Atlantic states were reported to be under an exceptionally promising outlook.
 The shorts, however are not very con- fident, as reports from the dry goods trade and from American spinning districts were generally favorable Private cables also indicated a good outlook for European cot ton spinners, with orders in both countries generally extending a long distance into the future for fabric yarns. During tke afternoon the market eased off a little on local liquidation, closing quiet. net un- changed to 2 points higher
