Another strong opening characterized
the stock market this morning Prices

Another strong opening Characterized
the stock market this morning. Prices
were fractionally,, higher at the first quo
tations OF the day and during the first hour
they advanced half point or more on the
average, the standard issues being espe-
cially prominent. Sentiment is again de-
cidedly more bulhsh in the Street, on the
theory that as the bears were not able this
week to depress prices with tight money
scares and talk OF war in the Transvaal
the gradual easing up of the money rate
may be counted on to help the markets
buoyancy. AS for the Transvaal situation
1t seems to have been pretty thoroughly
discounted during the past two weeks
Those who take, this view of the situation
point to the.fad thatskouisville and Nash-
ville Southern faeifc. the grangels s., and a
number of other first-class railway issues

THE LOCAL NIGHT SCHOOLS.
A Large Attendance Expected at
Their OPENING.

Two high schools. eight buildings for the
lower grades, three cooking schools. and
three buildings for coiored pupils will be
opened tonight as night schools. and it is
expected by Superintendent Powell and the
corps Of teachers he has engaged, that the
attendance will be greater than that of the
last fall opening
1t is the intention of the schoolmasters
and Superintendent Powell, to make these
night schools afford every possible oppor-
tunity for educational purposes TO all who
feel inclined to take advantage OF them.
Every years since the night school was
established in the District, 1t has grown
in favor and pupils have increased in num-

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Trading in the
stock market was in very light volume at
the opening of business, but a firm tone
was evident throughout the market. Inter-
est also was we'll diversified, considering the
small volume of business. The strongest
features at the opening were Louisville and
Nashville, Southern Pacific, American To-
bacco and Continental Tobacco. The gran
ger shares were moderately dealt in at
slight advances above yesterdays final fig
ures.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the other To-
cal traction issues were unusually dull, but
were likewise firm. The London market
was reported steady, although there was
no actual change in the monetary situation
there or In the conditions in South Africa.
Foreign houses, however. had few orders
in this market in the early dealings. There
were practically no new developments in
the local situation over night, but a sus-
tanning influence in the market was the
greater feeling of confidence in regard TO
an early material relaxation in the money
market together with the expectation of a
favorable showing by the banks in their
weekly statement of yesterday.

AMERICAS OCEAN TRADE.
Testimony of shipbuilder Before
the Industrial Commission.


Americas small share OF trans-oceanic
traffic was made manifest to the Industrial
Commission this morning by Frank Neal,
representing the shipbuilding firm OF Peter
Wright & Son of Philadelphia. "0f the
2S O00, 600 tons capacity assigned TO inter
national oceanic trade" said Mr.. Neal,
'1ess than 600 tons are of American
registry"
Mr. Neal also said that there is not a
single American line with all American
vessels transporting freight across either
the Atlantic or the Pacific oceans. The
American Line approaches nearest to this
although several OF its steamers have been
constructed by Belgian builders.
When asked whether a discriminating
duty, such as prevailed until 1S40, would
not tend to remedy this state of affairs,
the witness replied that no discrimination

Louisville was to certain extent the
feature of the early market. The state
ment of the company for the year and the
earnings so far this year have been, so
uniformly fine that bullish sentiment re-

The readjustment plan for the Leather
Company's capital stock seems to have fall
len fiat. The stocks have been inactive
and sagging since it was announced Ii is
said that neither the preferred nor the
common stockholders are particularly
pleased with the plan and that a majority
may not acquiesce in it. The common
stock is selling now around 13 and the pre-
ferred shareholders will thus get about
+ IL per cent in common stock as a bo-
nus, in exchange for giving up 29 per cent
in accumulated dividends, and the cumu-
lative feature for all future time as-weH.
On the other hand it is of course possible
to argue that the back dividends could new
er be paid and are therefore worthless. and
the cumulative clause in the preferred
stock contract as well. AS a matter OF fact
the company has not earned per cent on
the preferred stock for many years.

NOT S4TISF.f CTORY TO FRINGE.
The American Terms offered for Re-
ciprOcity Treaty.

Washington, July lit appears to
be the accepted view in well informed
government quarters that the limit of
concession has been reached in the ne
gotiations with the French authorities
for reciprocity treaty and to-day S
conference did not bring about any ma
terial advance in the negotiations.
France conceded the minimum rate on
the entire tariff schedule at the outset,
the difference between the usual maxi
mum rate and the minimum rate being
about twenty per cent. Mr.. Kasson in
return submitted a list of articles on
which our rates would be reduced un-
der the provision of section of the
Dingley act allowing not over 20 per
cent. reduction on articles agreed upon.
The American concessions, however,
have not proved as satisfactory in Paris
as was expected and consideration has
been given of late to extending the lists
somewhat. Some further concessions
however, have not proved as satsfaC-
tory in Paris as was expected and con-
sideration has been given of late to
extending the lists somewhat. Some
further concessions have been made,
but these have not been sufficient TO
close the negotiations. There is, how
ever, no thought of abandoning
them and treaty may result later.

RICES 1T REdDVILLE.
Spring Meeting of New England Trot-
ing Horse Breeders Association

Readville, Mass, July 1.-A heavy
wind and a rather soft track greeted the
horses which came out in the three
events in the spring meeting of the New
England Trotting Horse Breeders asso-
citation on the Readville track this af-
ternoon. Two heats made a race, but
whether the system was a good one for
mile track was hardly determined, as
in two of the events the winner had an
easy thing. In the third stiff brush
in the stretch made a third heat neces-
sary and the crowd liked the fun much
better. Favorites won in two races
but in the pace, Lexington, who was
good odds against the field, could not
hold the clip and was finally drawn.
The 2:30 trot was never in doubt, for
each time Halle Rocket led process
sion from start to the wire, the only
fighting being done for other money. In
the 2:14 trot Ruby had speed enough to
win had the others driven her hard.
Two exhibitions We're given by Queen

tential, to beat 2:25A. Time won in

London, July 1.-THE salvagers have

have shifted the vessels position slight
ly to the eastward. They hope to be
able to get the after stokehold clear of
water The Paris is now clear of the

so as to facilitate the operations of the
divers, but it was found that she NOV
ed more freely than was expected.
Three salvage boats alone practically
removed her from a critical position
unaded. She still has distinct list,
however, to the starboard, and cannot
be assumed to be fully out Of danger.
The tugs are preparing to tow her to
Falmouth harbor.
The German salvagers are elated at
their unexpected success in floating the
Paris. She had been weighted with
nearly thousand tons of granite at
the stern with a view of hosting her
bows free from the rock. The divers
had difficulty in getting at the rock,
and this was the reason for the tenta-
tive effort to move her.
Several tugs from Falmouth proceed
ed to the scene, but the Germans were
not anxious for their assistance, offer
ing the largest tug only five pounds for
towing, an offer which was promptly
refused 1t was then decided that the
vessel being in a position Of compara-
tive safety, should remain where she
was for the night and that the divers
should continue their work Of patching
the hull, so as to minimize the risk of
towing.
Unless something unforeseen occurs,
the Paris will be towed to Falmouth to-
and If on inspection her condi-
tion warrants it she will be taken to
or to some other dock for
repairs, The weather late this evening
is rather unfavorable, the symptoms be-
ing rain, fog, falling barometer and a
slight wind from the southeast. An in
crease in the wind might prove serious.
Every precaution has been taken to an
chor the liner securely. The coast
guards are keeping keen lookout.
Captain Watkins, the other officers and
twenty members of the crew are still
on board. The pumps are coping with
the water, and there is no danger of the
vessel sinking. 1t is understood that
the salvagers are the same parties who

IRISH IND AMERICAN MEAT
Condemn ned by British Naval Authority
5000 Pounds DESTROYED.

London, July 1.-THE secretary of the
admiralty, w. E. Ellison Macarteny re-
plying in the house of commons to-day
to a question of James Christopher
Flynn, Irish nationalist, member for
the northern division of Cork county,
asked regarding the recent destruction
at Deptford of 5000 pounds of salt meat
which was unfit for food, and whether,
in view of this enormous loss, the ad-
tnralty would consider the advsa bill
ty of contracting for salt meat with
Irish and other home curers, said the
whole of the pork destroyed at Dept
ford was Irish pork and that all the
beef condemned was American beef He
added that all the salt beef consumed in
the British navy was obtained, until
recently, from America, which was the
only available commercial source of
supply. But, he continued, $4,000 pounds
of beef are now cured annually at Dept
ford.

Washington, July 11.-A delegati ton
composed of Joshua l.. Bailey of Phila-

Baltimore; William w. Smith of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y; Colonel Eli Ritter Of An
napolis and others, representing the Ma
tional Temperance society and kindred
organizations called upon the president
to-day to protest against and ask for
Te-hearing on the Interpretation given
hv the attorney general to the seven
teenth section of the recent act of con-
gress entitled "An act for the increase
of the efficiency of the army of the
United States and for other purposes.
This Interpretation was to the effect that
the act was prohibitive only as to the
sale of liquor in the canteenS by officers
and men, The members of the delega-
tion after their call, reported the presi-
dent as saying that the opinion of the
attorney general was given without any
previous knowledge on his part, and
that he would look into the matter per-
sonally and if the opinion of the attor-
ney general was found to be correct, 1t
should stand. But he added that all
men were fallible and that If the attor-
ney general had made a mistake he had
no doubt he (Griggs) would be ready
to rectify it-that he was an able law
yer and q man honest and courageous.
