tary check to the downward movement.
But when the bears saw the con-
tinueI heaviness, they attacked the
market in the late dealings, making the
close active and weak, at about the
lowest. The few earlier gains were
mostly wiped out, those remaining
being largely reduced. London sales
here were estimated at 10000 shares,
covering the entire list of international
stocks
The fall of a fraction in the actual rate
for sterlin g exchange in face of this
liquidation from London caused re-

situation of which it was a reflection.
The rates for time money We're appre-
ciably firmer, and no call loans were
made below 3 per cent.

Attheeopening yesterday morning the
internationally listed railroad stocks
showed marked sympathy with the de-
preston in London, especially st. Paul,
Louisville and Norfolk & Western.
Kansas & Texas preferred was the
notable exception on the side of
strength, rising 70. International Pa
per, American Tobacco and Brooklyn
Transit showed weakness, while Ameri-
can Steel & Wire rose over a point
Early in the session Republic Steel be-
came conspicuous, rising 21a and
points respectively for the common and
preferred. A number of low priced is
sues forged upwards, including Wheel
ing & Lake Erie, Hooking Valley, Kan
sas & Texas preferred and Chicago &
Great Western preferred, the latter ris-
ing points. The standard stocks were
neglected. Pressure against Sugar, To-
baeco and Metropolitan Street Railway
put stop to the advance in the indus
trials but a subsequent rally of in
Metropolitan Street Railway and heavy
covering in Brooklyn Transit, Manhat-
tan and Tobacco turned them strongly
upwards. Louisville. Baltimore & Ohio
and Atchison preferred were notably
heavy. The heaviness Of a few of the
active stocks, which have advanced re-

and weakness became general. Repub-
lie Steel preferred dropped 219, and
Sugar, Tobacco and the local municipal
properties quite sharply. Important
losses were registered also in Norfolk

Southern Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande
preferred and ST. Paul & Duluth; the
latter ran off points, but American

THE. STREET FAIR.
The Committee Meets and Pre-.
pareS To Push Matters
Theoretically.

The Street fair committee met ON
Saturday evening and did considera-
BILE work in the detail preparations
for the Street fair. 1t was decided
to organize an association, so that
the work could becontinued easier in
the future. The following officers
were elected:
Pres.-C. H. Brown.
Vice Pres.-Barney Burton.
Treas.-F. Stangle.
SEGA Sim Onet.
Asst. Sec.-GeO. LaFOnd.
The committee decided that booths
would be furnished to all subscrib-
ers who gave $40 or over. The com
mittee doubtless will build the
booths cheaper by contracting for
the full number at once, and then
material can be saved for use at fu-
ture street fairs. 1t was originally
planned to have the merchants con-
struct their own booths, but to in
sure uniformity, 'and final economy
in the general expense, the commit.
tee wisely decided as they did.
In rearranging the program Of at
fractions it was decided to abandon
the balloon ascension, and use the
funds thus saved in increasing the
cash preiums offered for farm pro-
ducts. A large sum will be given in
cash premiums, and these premiums
will be confined entirely to agricul-
tural and stock premiums, or such
household articles as can be supplied
by farmers and farmers families.
A premium list in pamphlet form
will be issued, and the work was
placed in charge Of Dana Brown.
At least $500 copies will be issued,
and the committee expects the pam
phlet to be patronized by business
men to q sufficient extent to at least
pay it's own way. Advertisements
will be inserted on alternate pages,
and the price fixed on low rate, SO
it is calculated that the business
men win see in it a chance to dosome
profitable advertising. The business
men are relieved from the direct ex-
pense of building the booths, and
are urged to aid in the work of plac-
ing the premium list before all the
people of the county.
1t was decided to do a little ad-
ditiOnal work in soliciting. as ~ few
Of tho business men had not made
definite subscriptions.
The members OF the committee are
we'll pleased with the outlook, and
are certain that the first Street fair
will be a great success.
