GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. September pa miscel-
laneous demand for all the more active is

conspicuous buyer, resulted in substantial
gains in today's stock market London
was irregular and inclined toward profit
taking pending more definite news from
the Transvaal. A freer Offering Of money
and the hopes for better bank statement
Were the chief Inducements to the local
buying. Commission houses We're not as
active the volume of business would or
dinarily indicate, the money market being
doubtful factor in conservative circles in
spite of improved surface conditions.
The necessary defniteness on the subject
of money rates will require another fort
night to develop perhaps, but that the
tendency is in the right direction is now
generally admitted. The earnings of all
the railroads are good, and the outlook for
an active and higher market In certain of
the specialties in the group Is unusually
good. The larger interests are disposed to
move cautiously pending the publication of
the bank returns. recent changes having
been so uniformly misleading. During the
afternoon the hopes of the morning were
dissipated somewhat by estimated loss
of over 100000 in cash for the week
These figures are based on the returns
already at hand, and may be improved
later.
The reserve has come to exert an un-
usually strong sentimental influence on the
market, and the fact that 1t is an emer-
gency fund is almost entirely lost sight OF
at the present time.
The market reacted some during the af-
ternoon entirely the result of predictions
looking to a loss in cash holdings for the
week. Bank conditions and the outcome
of the Transvaal matter are the certain
factors in the stock market at this juno
ture, and there is no evidence from either
source suggestive of immediate under
taking of new risks.
The prosperity of the country at large Is
not. in the present condition of the stock
market, a big enough argument to over
come the nearby influences which arc
brought under the daily notice of every
trader in the street. High rates for money
concern the average trader less than the
inevitable discrimination which accom-
panies that condition. The purchase of
stocks without knowing whether the bank

which invariably is decided in the negative

Today's buying of the traction stocks.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit leading showed
the demand to be largely from the short
interest. The ) per cent advance in the
stock named served to give direction to
the general market and advances elsewhere
varying from / to per cent We're pretty
general. The decline in the afternoon was
entirely natural, the advance having run
far enough to justify a temporary recess
sion and more deliberate start.

From the Philadelphia Record.


a Philadelphia contractor, who has re-
Gently returned from the Soudan, tells of
an interesting fact connected with the
building by the English of the new mill
tary railroad in that region. With every
gang of forty or fifty men are assigned
two harpers and flute player. Music is
furnished almost continuously, and long
as the musicians play the workmen-nearly
all negroes-do not seem to feel the fatigue.
and their movements are conformed as
nearly as possible to the time of the music.
As general thing the players get tired
before the workmen do. To a white man
the melody produced by these cheerers of
labor would not be inspiring. for it is pc
culiarly plaintive. The Africans, however.
find the music a great inspiration, and work
with cheerfulness and dispatch. The Phila-
deIphian declares that the idea is one well
worth considering. for 1t Is well
known that colored laborers and stevedores
along the river front will work harder and
faster II permitted to sing AS a matter

Desired in Line.

NEW YORK, September 22-Major Cen
eral Roe, who will command the National
Guard of New York state in the Dewey land
parade, received a telegram from Gov.
Roosevelt today directing him to give the
G. a. r. the choice of any place in the
parade.
Immediately on receiving the telegram
Gen. Roe had a conference with Mayor Van
Wyck and then Chairman Guggenheimer
of the plan and scope committee, which
has charge of the parade, was notified Of
the governors dispatch
After pointing out that his committee
alone had the right to assign places in the
line of march, Mr.. Guggenheimer said Of
the governors action:
1T is peculiarly Rooseveltian. 1t is most
impudent, uniustified and unwarranted in
reference in matter that is without his
province. l do not believe, however, that
our committee will take any notice of it.
Gen. Roe declined to discuss the action
Of Gov. Roosevelt in advance of the action
Of the plan and scope committee.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
A guest at one of the leading New Orleans
hotels put in an appearance in the office
wearing very peculiar-looking hat. At
fist glance 1t seemed to be made of finely
woven brown straw. but closer scrutiny
showed that the material was evidently
something else. 1t was passed around
among a group of friends and they all took
a guess. One thought it was prepared silk
and another thought 1t was asbestos
You are all wrong" said the gentleman:
1T is made of spun glass. You can see it
has considerable elasticity and | fancy it
would be about as hard to break as an Or
Cirary Panama. / value the hat chiefly as a
cUrio. he continued, for it is too hot to be
worn with much comfort. 1t was made sew
eral years ago by an old Alsatian at Pitts
burg. Pa, who invented a process for spin
ming and weaving glass, his idea being to
dow curtains and other draperies 1t was
made attractive to the eye 1t was too stiff
and ungraceful and the expense was pro-
hibitive for theatrical drop curtains-the
one purpose to which it might have been
adapted. Anyhow, he gave up the under
taking and this hat was one of the last
things he made. I had backed the enter
prise to small extent, the hat stands

article of attire that l possess. l don't
know anything about its acoustic proper

1t the same as through any other hat
