NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The violent raid
made upon values of securities by the
bear element yesterday furnished ma
terial for its own remedy in the shape Of
uncovered contracts on the short side
There was a fierce contest in the early
dealings to break prices further, the bears
continuing to center their attack on
Brooklyn Transit and the local traction
stocks. Other members Of the group
proved move vulnerable than Brooklyn
Transit, in which powerful support by in
side interest was forthcoming, while Met
ropolitan Street Railway and Manhat-
tan yielded easily. The best efforts of
the bears only carried Brooklyn Transit
only shade below yesterdays figures.
Friends Of the stock were apparently
ready to take all that was offered. The
continuance of the aggressive bull move
ment in American and Continental Tobac-
co and United States Leather helped to
the discontinue of the early bear move
ment. When appearances began to indi-
cate that the bear campaign was abor-
tive there was a movement to cover. The
strength embraced a very limited portion
of the general list and the high-priced
railways continued neglected and rather
heavy.
Railroads in the Southern region were
generally strong on the general good busi-
ness conditions and industrial expansion
in that region. Louisville led on account
of reports Of large current earnings for
that road and rose an extreme 1%. The
declaration of a 1 per cent dividend on
Chesapeake & Ohio stock, the first in the
history Of the present company, helped
the movement. Atchison preferred was
strong on the reports of continued large
cutting down of operating expenses.
The condition of the money market here
showed an easier tendency again, and
some New York banks were reported to
be bidding for credit papers for the first
time in several weeks. Sterling exchange
rose in sympathy in spite of the continued
hardening of. money in London. The
late raid by the bears today came with
the appearance of realizing sales in the
Tobacco stocks. They attacked those

Glass Trust Fires up Again.

Cincinnati, Dec. ga special from
Hartford City, Ind, says: Tonight at
midnight forty-four window glass fac
tories representing LOO pots, the ca
pacity of the American Window Glass
company, go into operation. These plants
have been idle since last June and will
furnish employment to 1900 glass work
ers in this state and about 1.5OO in this
city, where the largest plant in Indiana
is located, besides smaller one. The
present fire Will be but six months, and
one of the shortest on record, but the in
dications are that it will be stetady and
continuous one.

which is such an old continuance that it
was commonly used IN ancient Egypt.
To match this notable discovery in the
frozen north another strange chronological
find has Just been made by George II
Pepper. who, like DR.. Boas. is connected
with the American Museum of Natural
History. THIS is nothing less than the
turning I'D. in northern New Mexico, OF
deposits representing what may be term
ed fossil snake dances-in other words.
memorials of ceremonials Of this descrip-
ton which were conducted perhaps 1000
years ago by the ancestors OF the modern
Moqui Indians. OF late years many de-
scriptions of the Mo1ui snake dances
have been published. exciting no little at
tention, and hence the interest attaching
to evidences of the great antiquity of so
rema rkable a mode of religious observ-
ance.
The Pueblo Bonito, where the discovery
referred to was made, is the largest Of
the many prehistoric ruined cities found
in that part of the country. No attempts
at excavation were ever made there until
last summer, when Mr.. Pepper started
digging operations, one result Of which
was the partial uncoVerlng o. d nest VI
human habitations that is certainly pre-
Columbian, and in all probability vastly
older than this term would imply The
word nest is appropriately used. mas
much as the Pueblo, like modern inhaoit-
ed ones today, was constructed on sort
of bee hive principle. It contained many
hundreds of rooms. and must have FUR
nished a home for considerable Dopu-
lation.
But the most interesting thing was the
finding of whole outfits of snake dance
apparatus including the peculiar cere-
monial arrows, vessels and musical IN
struments. A thousand years ago. II
seems likely, the secret societies OF the
Snakes and Antelooes conducted the
sacred rights which eliminated in the
snake dance.
