New York, October 1.-THE stock market

day and las tone was less firm. There
was no change in the general conditions
prevailing then. aside from the extent to
which the short interest was reduced and
Furthermore the fact that today nearly all
of so-caed new industrials showed evil
delees of pressure. lit is still the opinion
however, OF the largest and most reliable
foreign banking houses that exports of gold
to England in connection with the to be ex-
pected exchequer operations were most i'm
probable unless the local rates for money
should be reduced 40 or so per cent. A few
interesting statements of railway traffic
earnings were submitted today, including
that of the orthern Pacific company, but
otherwise the situation was again feature
less A feature of the days dealings was
the comparative firmness shown by all the
standard railway issues Notwithstanding
the unsettled condition of the industrial
quarter and the continued feyerish trading
in Brooklyn Rapid Transit. There was
better demand evident for stocks of the
grade of New York Central, st. Paul and
other standard issue, than has been evident

New York. October lin the absence of

look for further liquidation. more bear.

ment is noted These may turn quite ag-
gressive For The immediate present, IL
would not be strange DE- the market shohd
run into some thing of a rut for while.
On the other hand, strong bull Interests
may determine to take hold with renewed
energy and boost prices Inasmuch as we
have had a remarkable rise, there would
be nothing surprising If profit-taking
would again be inaugurated ON liberal
scale. The situation is mixed and the out
come very uncertain. Cables were lower
at our opening, but, contrary to expecta-
items, our first figures were / to better
on small sales, the Improvement being due
to expected small arrivals at ports. Some
disappointment was caused by the failure
of frost to materlalize in the southwest,
as indicated yesterday, with the excep-
ton of very light fall at Amarillo and
Oklahoma. Talk was heard of contem-
plated corner in January deliveries but the
entire movement during the early session
was on a limited scale. Both sides were

Murphy & campany,s stock Letter

By Private Wire to Murphy & Co.
New York. October 17.-London was again
shown at substantial advances from the
local close last night Notwithstanding
this circumstance, the local market opened
with a rather irregular tendency, though
in the main showing a firm tone. Trading
was fairly active and well distributed, with
standard issues receiving a very fair
amount of attention. st. Paul was particu-
larly strong and was the active feature of
that quarter. Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
however, again led the market in respect
to activity. Pullman Palace was again
notably strong, and there was atransac-
ton in Wagner Palace Car at an advance
from the last sale which circumstance re-
vived the rumors of some arrangements
between these two companies. Sugar and
Tobacco We're the features in the Indus
trials, both holding their own. Trading
continued largely professional.

says:
The markets here were quiet today in the
absence of war news They were fairly
firm. Americans were the best section,
opening above parity and strengthening in
the afternoon. They closed at the top in
the street. The feature was Baltimore and
Ohio on New York orders. Louisville and
Nashville and Southern Pacific were also
strong on arbitrage buying. The bank
sent 100000 pounds gold to Egypt and
bought $4,000 pounds in bars. Money was a
drug and bills were easier.

Philadelphia, April 29.-Yale carried

of relay races held under the auspices
of the University of Pennsylvania on
Franklin field to-day. the wearers of
the blue winning the one mile, two
mile and four mile championship ,e-
lay races. Although Pennsylvania was
disappointed in the outcome of these
events, she is happy because o1e Of
her men now holds the American
broad jump record. A. c. Kraenzelin,
who holds the American championship,
jumped "a feet 31a inches, breaking the
American record of 90 feet S7s inches,
held by Myer Preinstein of Syracuse
university. The latter was also en-
tered in this event, but the best he
could do was 90 feet ~ inches.
Over 5000 persons attended the car
nival of sports. 1t was a great sue
cess, over 80 preparatory schools and
colleges being represented. The great
est race of the day was the one mile
college relay championship.
There were three teams entered IN the

The runners in the next quarter were
Luce for Yale and kraenZelin for
Pennsylvania. The latter made up the
ground lost by his predecessor, but soon
played out, and when the men took
up the run Yale had lead of 20 yards.
The final quarter was very exciting,
the spectators rising and yelling like
mad. The fleet Tewksbury for Pennsyl-
vania, by a magnificent dash, almost
caught Boardman, Yale's fourth run
ner. The distance was too great how
ever, and the Yale man won the quar-
ter and the race by about 10 yards. The
Chicago university man could not stand
the great pace and was out Of it after
a half mile had been run.
In the two mile and four mile re-
lay championship Yale's men got a
rather easily. The one mile relay race
between Columbia, Cornell and Lafay-
cite was also a good contest, the Col

ST Louis, April 2s-The westliche
Post Will Tomorrow print an article
in the English language defining the
policy of all German American papers
in this country regarding Americanism
against imperialism. The article in
part follows:
Time and again the attempt has
been made to supplant American re-
publicanism with imperialism Time
and again American patriotism and
that high and far-seeing love of man
kind which unites men of all countries
in a common brotherhood of humanity
have rallied and won against it. When.
half a century ago, we had the same
cries of manifest destiny the con-
querng Saxon expansion and all the
rest we are hearing over again now.
Americans as radically opposed to each
other in most things as We're Calhoun
and Corwin. joined with Clay, Web
ster. Lowell, Clayton and Clemens
against it.
What American can read this with
out an indignant refusal to consent
that the blood of those once our allies
shall 'saturate the soil on which they
were born that we may be praised by
the London Times for our noble work
for progress in furthering British plans
for Remembering and robbing China?

Wild except what German-Americans
are saying now in declaring that they
gave up home and friends and came

and always. To Americanism, not to
British commercialism of the bayo-

Americans who renowned imperialism
in Europe are devoted now as they

talons.' The flag of this great republic

this immortal sentence
Such republicanism as that was not

Written for the Sunday Standard.
San Juan. Porto Rico, April 16.-It
is fair to presume that no reconstruc-
ton feature will so soon reach de-
sirable standard as will domestic and
social conditions in Porto Rico under
the next regime. The American wo-
man has arrived with all her splendid
capacity for homemaking, her energy
her thrift and aptitude in the multi
tudinous details of domestic manaE"
ment. Until January few families from
the states made their homes in the isl
and, and at the beginning of the Amer
lean occupation many of the better
class of Spaniards left the country.
These abandoned homes have nearly all
been taken by Americans. every in
coming steamer augmentins the pro-
portion of this new and invisorating
element in the population. The wives
and families of army and government
officials are arriving every week and all
are anXiously looking forward to the
time when the general government
