The fact that local brokers are offering
money as low as 3 "a per cent interest,
and that 1t is plentiful between 4 and 5
per cent, shows better than anything else
what a remarkable condition the market
is in. Washington has never seen money
under per cent before. The prices of
some gilt-edged bonds are also entirely
unprecedented. Columbia Railway 6's sold
during the week for 133, and Metropolitan
SIS for 127. and even at these prices the de-
mand cannot be supplied.

There has been more hesitancy than was
expected in the local market during the
past week 1t has been believed that the
influx OF several millions of outside money
would create great demand for local Sc
curities, but, although the week has not
been entirely inactive, there has been no
great demand for stocks. and prices have
not advanced. 1t is undoubtedly the fact
that many hesitate to buy local stocks at
their present prices, notwithstanding the
cheapness of money. A number of good
stocks and bonds are picked out by care
full brokers, however, as being likely to
prove excellent investments, and it is most
probable that the entire list will advance
to higher level, as money continues
abundant and no better outlet for it is
furnished.

The item in the situation next most ia
forable to higher price after the good
crop news is perhaps the fact that the
quarterly and semi-annual disbursements
of dividends and interest will begin with
next week and continue during the month.
1t has been the case usually that prices
have advanced in the last week of June
in the expectation of heavy investments
in July, and there is every reason to ex-
pect that this will be the case this year.

Tennessee Coal and Iron was weak yes

gloomy opinion of this company and its

Trenton, y. J.. July Ill. W. Douthday, n

this afternoon on the talboaTd OF an express
wagon which stood near the curb in Broad
Street when he was startled by the sudden
appearance Of bug big 4 hummingbird
near the tip of his nose. He struck at the bug
and knocked it away, but it quickly recovered
and shot in the direction of Douthday's face
like lightning This time he hit the bug with
his hat and sent it to the pavement Like a
fash il returned TO the attack and kept Douth-
day busy sparring with it.
The mans frantic motions and the size Of
the bug attracted the attention of passers-by,
and some one shouted: ITS a kissing bug!
Look out for it,
This cry brought crowd TO the spot where
the battle was going Turning its atten-
tion from Douthday, the bug made Il dive at
the face OF a woman In the crowd, and, with
a scream, she fell back into the arms OF a
spectator in 4 dead faint 1t was not long he
fore every man in the crowd was taking a RIP
at the bug with his hat or hands, but the vicious
insect, though repeatedly knocked to the ground
came back as vigorous and determined before
Finally a stiff blow from Douthday sent it to
the pavement, and before it could recover a
man sef his foot on it. The bug was two and
one.half inches long.
DR. W. T. Rogers, who is expert ento-
mologist. said the insect was a kissing bug,

GOODS FROM THE PARIS.
Duties to BE Paid on Their Apprnis-
ed, Not Invoice. Value.

Attorney General Griggs has rendered an
opinion that the merchandise rescued from
the wrecked steamer Paris and forwarded
to the United States by another vessel shall
pay duty at its appraised value as to
quantity and condition and not en- the
basis of the original invoices
The question was referred to the Attor-
ney General by the Treasury Department,
which wished an opinion whether or not
the importation of these goods was affect
ed by the provision of the customs admin
istrative act that no allowance for dam
age to goods, wares, and merchandise i'm
ported into the United States shall here
after be made in the estimation and lqui-
dation of duties thereon"
The Attorney General holds that that
provision refers only to loss or damage,
such as mere deterioration in quantity or
condition, arising from ordinary causes
during voyage and not to the special and
extreme case of a wreck and loss or dam
age thereby. He differs from the opinion
of his predecessor that the return OF the
merchandise to the port OF departure and
its reshipment to the United States con-
stituted new voyage and that no allow
ance for loss could be made because not
occurring on that lvpvage
