NEW YORK BOND ISSUE PASSED.
F tnancral.
The Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 9.--There was not
 much interest in the stock market to-
 day. The market sold off at the open
 ing on realizing and on the heavy tone
 imparted by sympathy with London. Sales of securities for London continued
 on moderate scale. The call money
 rate in London nevertheless dropped a
 fraction to-day and sterling exchange
 in Paris advanced, but in Berlin de-
 clined. There is a renewal of anxiety oyer the Transvaal question, which has
 it's effect in foreign stock markets and
 was a factor The local market resist ed this downward tendency and was in- clined to move upwards before the end of the first hour under the lead of Sugar and in sympathy with an addi-
 tional rise in the Minneapolis and St Louis stocks. Consolidated Gas was strong and American Tobacco forged upwards again, it's gain reaching near ly points and holding well near the top. Sugar weakened before the day was over but there were enough indi vidual stocks showing strength to maintain pretty firm line, notwith- standing the intense dullness for the rest of the day. Some of these gains were Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic preferred 1-2, American Linseed oil preferred 2 3-4, the United States Leather stocks IA each, Oregon Navi- gation 4 IA, Pacific Coast 2, and Read ing and Chicago and Eastern Illinois IA each, General Electric and Colo rado Fuel a point Atchison preferred advanced strongly in the late dealings.
 The call money rate was easier to- day under the influence of offerings from out of town sources. Chicago. Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul, were among those centers said to be lending money here, and expression of opinion from financial authorities in Chicago as to the plenitude of money there had a reassuring effect. While Chicago is buying commercial papers in New York, country banks throughout the west are said to be buying paper in Chicago. The rates for time loans and for commercial paper were, however, very firmly held in spite of the easier tendency in the call loan department. A hardening of a fraction in the rate of sterling exchange was a significant reflection of the lessened anxiety over the money outlook. Exchange has re- gently been tending consistently down wards, notwithstanding the dearness of money in London on account of the ten sion here Gold imports have up to to- day seemed the only recourse against money stringency here in case of large demands from the interior for moving the crops. To-day's movement of ster- ling exchange was therefore highly im- portant as indicating the easier condi- tions here. The presentation of drafts on the New York sub-treasury In pay ment of the gold deposited at the San Francisco mint is expected to be an im- portant factor in relieving the local money market.
 Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf irsts dropped per cent. to-day in sym oathy with the reaction of 3-S in the stock. The market otherwise was dull md irregular. Total sales, par value, S1 ,033, ,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged | on bid quotations.

THE BASSETT FAMILY.

Their Coming Reunion at Woodmont. The round up" of the Bassett family at Woodmont September will he a most notable gathering. William Bas- sett the colonist, under Eaton, came to New Haven from Boston unmarried. William Ives and his wife Hannah came here at the same time, 163S MT. Ives died about 164S. and his widow then married Bassett. Four children were born of this union, Hannah, John, Samuel, Abiah
 Hannah married John Parker, 1610 John was the son of William Parker, of "Parker's Farms Wallingford, Conn. The late Joseph Parker of this city and the Hon. Amasa Parker of Albany were descendants. Miss Marie Ives of Fair Haven Heights also comes in on this line. Abiah married Ralph Lines, 1881. They had nine children, 16S4-1702
 John was a militia man. He was lieutenant in the famous Indian Swamp Fight" near Fairfield. Later he became Captain John" He served three terms in the general assembly, 17G4-1710. He married Mercy, daughter of Christopher Todd. Six daughters and three sons were born to them, all of whom became heads of large families. The lines of Miller, Mansfield, Bradley, Munson, Clarke, and others thus became allied to the Bassetts. His son John (better known as "Cornet JohnD set tied in Hamden and became the progen- itor of the name in that locality. Sam ue1, brother of Cornet John, settled in North Haven, and was equally prosper ous in peoplng that parish with Bas- setts.
 1t is probable there is no other clan in this country so large iL point of numbers as this family It must not be understood, however, that it all sprang from William John and Robert Bassett were corners like him from Boston and they spread the lines south and west. The present descendants no man can number. They are vast host, scatter ed all over the habitable globe, but many hundreds are expected to drift in to Woodmont next September, when the horn blows.
