| business has been transacted there with
profit to the state. The sales amounted
! to $421,739 and were as follows: Cash,
| $194, 49, notes, $225, 624; account, 81 8O4
| The total amount of Irvine manufactured
! was 5,570,9O0 pounds, at a cost of $780, 30,
| leaving a net profit Of $685. 1853. The convict
labor employed in the factory aggregated
| $2O,49S. Only a small amount of Irvine re-
| manned on hand Aug. l, most of the out
put having been shipped at that time to
all parts Of the state. The Irvine factory
capacity is to be increased by the new
machinery soon to arrive, and next years
statement will indicate a much heavier
manufacture. The past year, however,
has been the largest in the history of the
| Irvine factory.
The board of prison managers met yes
terday and transacted routine business.
Seven paroles were granted, one of the
paroled inmates being Jesse Neville. of
Winona county, whose life sentence was

NEW YORK, Aug s.-There was not
much in the stock market today. The
market sold off at the opening on realiZ-
ing and on the heavy tone impaired by
sympathy with London. Sales of securi-
ties for London account continued to-
day on a moderate scale. The call money
rate in London, nevertheless, dropped a
fraction today and sterling exchange in
Paris advanced, but in Berlin declined.
There is a renewal of anxiety over. the
Transvaal question, which had It's effect
in foreign stock markets and was a factor
in the reflected early depression here.
But the local market resisted this down
ward tendency and was inclined to move
upwards before the end of the first hour,
under the lead of Sugar and in sympathy
with an additional rise in the Mnneapo-
lis & st. Louis stocks. Consolidated Gas
was strong and American Tobacco forged
upward again, its gain reaching nearly 3
points and holding well near the top.
Sugar weakened before the day was over,
but there were enough individual stocks
showing strength to maintain a pretty
firm tone, Notwithstanding the intense
dullness for the rest of the day. Some
of the gains were Duluth, Southshore &
Atlantic preferred, 21a; American Linseed
Oil preferred, "a; the United States
stocks, IA each; Oregon Navigation, "A;
go & Eastern Illinois ~ each; General
Electric and Colorado Fuel a point each.
AtchiSOn preferred advanced strongly in
the late dealings.
The call money rate was easier today
under the influence of offerings from out
Of-tOwn sources. Chicago, Duluth, Min
neapoEs and st. Paul were said to be
lending money here, and expressions of
opinion from financial authorities in Chi
q IN do NJ
had a reassuring effect While Chicago
is buying commercial paper 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 re-
Election of the lessened anxiety over the
money outlook Exchange has recently
been tending perSiStently downward, not
withstanding the dearness of money in
London, on account of the tension here.
Gold imports have up to today seemed
the only resource against money strin-
gency here in case of large demands from
the interior for moving crops. Today s
movement of sterling exchange was
therefore highly important as indicat-
ing the easier condition here. The pre-
sentation of drafts on the New York sub
treasury in payment of the gold deposited
at the San Francisco mint is expected
to be an important factor in relieving the
local money market.
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf lists
dropped 4 per cent today, in sympathy
with the reaction of 29s in the stock. The
bond market otherwise was dull and if
regular. Total sales, par value, 81, 033 000,
United States bonds were unchanged on
bid quotations.

Simply that the men who hold the political pull have taken these big claims for collection on con- mission. One year more of Murphy rule. and at the same rate, the territory will be forced into bankruptcy. The last load was s297,0 Pisaa county bonds.
