WEALTH IN CRANKY MOUNTAIN

WEALTH IN CRANKY MOUNTAIN.
 Talk about abandoned farms" it is never too late for an old town to take a new start. There are excitement and
 large expectation in the erstwhile quiet village of East Granby, Conn. It lies along the line of the Tariffville exten- sion of the Central New England rail- road from that point to Springfield, now in process of construction. The railroad company was thwarted in it's original plan of running the road near East Granby by the sale of couple of farms in its path to the Consolidated road and it has been obliged to make quite a detour involving the purchase of the right of way across six or seven farms and the purchase of two farms outright The blasts for the railroad tracks through the mountain have brought to light rich veins of copper, and prospecting has become active in all that region, which abounds in aban- doned farms, or those that might as well be abandoned, and dreams of wealth now haunt the pillow of many a patient and hard-pressed delver in the soil It has long been known that copper ore existed in the East Granby mountain, but the fact has been more as tradition than other wise. Now with 60 per cent. copper in sight rapid change has come over the situation, and acres which few months ago would have been almost given away are now held at fancy fig ures so perhaps larger interests than the new railroad controls will be de- veloped in that out-of- theway section of the state.-Boston Transcript,

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Sept. THE market sue
cumbed to the combined influence of a
hardening rate for call money and the
depression on foreign stock markets on
account of the gathering war clouds in
South Africa. A few of the highly
speculative industrial specialties were
marked up in the early dealings, and
at different times during the day in an
effort to resist the decline, but the at
tempt proved unavailing to overcome
the depression in the general list and
the manipulative stocks in some cases
finally weakened. A few retained a
net advance.
Tennessee Coal was marked up a
point at the opening, but that was the
highest Of the day. Sugar, Tobacco,
Brooklyn Transit, Federal Steel and a
few other stocks among the most
prominent industrials vibrated both
above and below last nights price
Pullman Palace Car was at one time
up points, but lost it all. The Amer
lean Car stocks rose points each, but
the preferred lost it all. Pressed Steel
Car preferred advanced a point in the
closing dealings. These movements
were a reflection of the large demand
for railroad equipment growing out of
the prosperity of the railroads But
they had little effect on the general
list. The American Hoop stocks were
strong on reported large earnings ris-
ing three for the common and one and
one-half for the preferred. There We're
some large orders executed for u S.
Leather, which raised the price a point
The preferred stock advanced in sym
pathy, but lost all the gain. These
were the only important exceptions to
the weakness of the active stocks. St
Paul showed some resistance, but gave
way with the other grangers when in
timations were heard of opposition of
an increase in the dividend rate ON the
part of the directors
On Sept. s a year ago, st. Paul was
pushed up in the morning to lis, on the
rumOr that the semi-annual dividend
would be increased over the 21s per
cent rate. When the rate was an
| nounced in the afternoon the stock
slumped nearly S points, and broke the
whole market. The rate still continues
at 21s per cent. Declines in the rail-
roads are quite uniformly between l
and 2 per cent, including the prominent
grangers, Southwesterns, Pacific trunk
lines and Southern railroads. Stocks
which have had a recent sharp adj
vance show wide declines. Colorado
Fuel Hooking Valley, New York Cen
trail, Northern Pacific, the Republic
Steel stocks and Tennessee Coal are in
stances, though the latter stock recov-
cred it's decline.
Money on call commanded 5 per cent
most of the day, and went as high as
per cent with only few exceptions be-
low per cent. London's sales of
! about 10000 shares of stocks here
helped to keep up the exchange rate.
1t is apparent that under present con-
ditions abroad a considerably higher
rate for money here viii be required to
induce imports of gold.
Bonds showed a weakening tendency
in sympathy with stocks. Kansas and
Texas seconds being notably affected.
Total sales par value, s1,52S0O u. S.
bonds were unchanged on bid quota
