points. Severe pressure developed
against Brooklyn Transit and Manhat-
tan, and they lost and rs respective
ly. The advance in other special
stocks was checked and the standard
stocks were held below last nights

duced some covering in the local trac-
ton stocks, but renewed pressure
drove Brooklyn Transit and Manhattan

the leading railways were fractional,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. :
ACTION ON 3. "a. LEASE.
The Chamber of Commerce Names q
Committee of Seven.

President Robinson of the Boston
chamber of commerce has appointed a
committee of seven members to con-
slider what action should be tken by the
organization in relation to the proposed
999 years lease of the Boston & Albany
railroad to the New York Central rail-
road. 1t is felt that owing to the i'm
portance of the deal, affecting as it may
the future commerce of Boston. a
representative body ike the chamber of
commerce should take some recognition
of the transaction.
The committee consists of the follow
ing-named: ]. M. w. Hall, L. G.. Burn
ham, A. Shuman, Samuel B. Capen,
Henry w. Peabody, William H Lincoln
and w. o. Blaney. AS the committee
has just been named it has not yet met
for organization. When it is ready to
make report a special meeting of the
members of the chamber of commerce
will be called to take action in the mat
ter.

Boston, Aug. 15.-The Liverpool opening
cable for wheat was I'D. lower and the
closing was 1sd. lower Wheat opened
weak in Chicago, at 9s6%c. under last
night. on disappointing tenor of the Liv-
erpool cables, which refused to rally in
response, to our rally yesterday. The Lon
don market was also off Nd on most f,-
lures. Local bulls found foreign inter
ests on both sides of the market today
and considerable wheat accumulated on
yesterdays bulge came out in the early
part of the session. The trade found very
little demand for any quarter as the crop
ana other news proved rather bearish.
Liverpool reports that general profit-tak-
there this morning and that the market
steadied later on the unsettled weather
In the country, and then the late easiness
was que to the poor demand for spot
wheat. The Hungarian official crop state
ment just issued states that the wheat
yield shows slight increase over previ-
Gus estimates. Northwestern wheat re-
celpts today were BOG cars, against 315 last
week ana 460 last year. The northwest
was seller today, apparently on fine
weather conditions. AS exporters were a
cent out of line yesterday, today's break
may bring out some business
The stock market opened with prices
generally shade lower, the principal in
fluence being the recession in London.
Inc speculation, however ran to special
ties in which there were some lively
movements. p. o. was strong on the
favorable contract recently made. The
publication of a garhled statement of
the American Steel & Wire balance sheet
induced raid on that stock Tennessee
Coal and Iron reacted some on realiza-
tons. On the railway list there were
Lresh indications of substantial buying
movement in Louisville and Nashville, on
projections Of heavy increase in the
earnings for the second week of August.
Buying was generally of good character
ana was opposed by the room element,
WHICH is bearfsh. The tobacco stocks
AGAIN developed prominence, American
ToDaeco being exceptionally strong. Peo-
pie close to. the inside interests of the
TOBACCO stocks are predicting continue
tlon OF the upward movement and init
mate that announcements of Importance
are shortly to be made, as the basis for
long bull campaign. The short account,
particularly in Continental, is said to be
very large and the program is to drive
them to cover A dividend on Continental
preferred is expected to be declared TO-
morrow. Selling of local traction stocks
attracts more or less attention BY Its
persistence and confidence. There is some
evidence that they are being sold by the
ACTUAL holders, and 1t is known that one
OF the largest inside interests has recently
sold out. Americans were down in Lon
don. in sympathy with the heavy tone

CFrom Time and the Hour

(From Time and the Hour)
While as stakeholder, would have
liked to have lease or sale consum-
mated that would make my stock worth
$500, or even $500 a share, l feel well
satisfied with what the directors have
done for us. l shall not sell my stock
for fear of the roads being Quilted and
then thrown on our hands; but those
who have the fear, with the exception
of a very few who counted too conf
IDENTIFY on bigger plum, can unload
at $3.50, and to others who are not tim
orous, and nine-tenths of them will
have made big profit at that.
The fact is, we are spoiled children,
some of us, because of the plums which
were formerly lavished upon us. 1t
was only a few years ago-when the
capital stock was increased from 500,
100000 to $4,000, 000-that we got the
biggest plum of all, at least in my eX-
perience, S25 one; for, practically
speaking, instead Of IS in a single year,
we got 1913. Mr.. Bliss and Mr.. Hoar
and the rest of them know how pleas
ant q treat of that kind is as well as
any one. But they Know too, that
the legislature has classed it as a for
hidden fruit; and, for one, l did not al
all blame the general court, but thought
it did right.
I conclude that they see there is
nothing now ahead but plain, straight
8 per cent dividends and a good deal
Of hard work at that, and even some
risk, although l suppose it can't be
much. / rather like the tone of their
statement and it seems to me much
superior to that of the organized con-
testants, although I infer that the lat
ter has made good deal Of stir and is
not unlikely to command the number
of votes asked for to defeat the lease.
This is but natural Make a man a
good offer and one which he would have
been glad to accept, and then let some
one come along and say, Hold on, and
will do better for you," and the
chances are several to one that he will
not only hold on" but hold on longer
than he wants to.
How the DIRECTORS propose to send
our stock up to $500 instead of giving it
a drop for per cent dividends not
guaranteed alone will not keep it at its
present price, l have not seen, If their
plan has been submitted to the pub
lie

GAME LAW vIoLAToRs.
They Are Liable to Pay Heavily for
Their Fun.

Owing to reported violations Of the
game law, County Game Warden Kim
Der has deputized about dozen per-
sons in various parts of the county to
act as Deputy Game Wardens.
He also asks the members of the Sac
ramento County Fish and Game Protec-
tive Association to aid him in watching
violators Of the law and will deputize
any of them who wish to help him. He
offers $40 reward for information that
will lead to the conviction of any one
shooting doves before the end of the
close season, which, with the standing
reward of $25 offered by the associa-
ton, makes an amount worthy Of con-
sideration to those furnishing infor
nation.
Two young men of this city who were
out on the Folsom road after doves had
narrow escape from arrest last Sun
day, as they failed to kill a couple of
doves that they shot at, so that the
parties watching them had no evidence
on which to make an arrest.
Two Justices Of the Peace in this
county have signified their intention to
fine any parties convicted in their
courts of violating the game law $1O0,
believing that light fines have but little
effect on this class of men.

TOOK 4 SHOT AT HIS WIFE.
BUT EDWARD PRENETT rs A
VERY POOR SHOT.
His Bullet Missed Her Three Feet,
Though He Was Close
to Her.

Police Sergeant Dolan and Officer
Higgins yesterday arrested Edward
Prenett for supposed attempt to kill
his wife.
The parties occupied a room in the
Gleeman House. About I o'clock yes
terday, while Mrs. Prenett was in bed,
her husband stood at the foot of the
bed and fred shot which sent a bullet
into the head of the bed, about three
feet from the head of the woman. The
latter ran out crying for help, and Mrs.
Gleeman called the police.
Prenett has been in trouble in Marys-
vile, and since coming here has led
anything but life of industry. When
he fired the shot yesterday a woman
named Nelly Burns was in the room
engaged in dispute with his wife
over some previous quarrel. The Burns
woman says she could not understand
why the shot was fired.
1t looks as if Prenett had fired the
shot for the purpose of frightening his
wife, as he was standing at the foot
of the bed at the time If he really
shot to hit her he has clearly established
his eligibility as shooting master to
regiment of Filipino soldiers
The woman is colored, but she has a
certificate to show that she is married
to Prenett Mrs Gleeman, proprie-
treSs of the lodging house. says she
had heard him making threats to kill
some woman, but did not suppose it
was his wife

Asked Too Much.

Some time ago the faculty of a the
ological seminary received a. request
for a minister, from, a.. little Western
parish. The salary offered was SO
meager. and the virtues demanded were
SO many, that the heads of the theolog-
ical professors shook with perplexity.
One of them suggested writing that
the only man they had ever known
who might have filed the requirements
of the parish was late lamenfed cler-
gyman who had accustomed himself to
living almost entirely upon spiritual
food in one poor, stony paTish-but this
suggestion was discarded.
At last the most energetic member of
the faculty composed a letter which he
was deputized to copy and send off. He
wrote as follows:
while we fully understand that the
lack of money in parish does not les
sen its desire to have a fine preacher
and devoted pastor. we are compelled
to say that we know of no man who
