The stock market to-day continued 70
show marked indifference to the dis
turbances In foreign markets on ac-
count Of the war scare and Of money
difficulties as well as to the continued
stiffness Of the local money rate.
Prices dipped at the opening on the
rumor Of an invasion OF Natal by the
Boer forces and on the further advance
In the Bank Of England's official rate Of
discount But the opening prices were
for the most part the lowest and the
market quite promptly set about re-
trIeving It's decline. The liquidation
for London account was OF compare
lively small volume, sales not exceeding
1900 shares. In fact the foreign stock
markets seemed to take no very serious
account OF the strained condition Of at
fairs and even the Rafflr mining stocks
which would be most vitality affected by
the war were quite Arm.
no VTtuFtFnf HnTs HOn1 NANCY in New
York showed further relief from the
extreme strlngency, though by no
means on an easy basis. To-dRy's max
Imum rate was II per cent and It fell
before the close below the legal rate.
The undertone Of the market for stocks
was very firm. This was not due to
any large demand, even in the case Of
stocks, which moved quite widely. but
rather to the bidding up Of prices by
those interested in seeing higher fig-
ore for their holdings. This bidding up
process, however, failed to bring out
large offerings which fact was slgnif-
cant Of the markets firmness. Another
was the large number Of stocks not
usually dealt In which were brought In
to activity and the numerous odd lots
which were recorded on the tape. The
latter feature Is always Indicative Of
is buying stocks outright to hold as an
Investment; class OF buyers who do
not depend on the money market for
borrowed funds. There il undoubtedly
a growth OF confidence. that the strin-
gent period for money is over. The de-
mand from the interior for funds con-
tInues large and may encroach on the
reserve Of interior banks loaned on
call In New York. The rising discount
rates in London caused IN additional
advance in the rate for sterling ex-
change here, in Paris and In Berlin and
the weak return Of the Bank Of France
dIscourages the idea that either London
or New York can hope for large relief
from that centre.
The bond market was very dull in
sympathy with stocks. Total sales par
value. $l,275,00O.

INDIAN WAREHOUSES.
They Supply the Red Man With His
Necessities and Luxuries.

The United States Indian warehouse
was removed this week from State and
Sixteenth streets TO 235-247 Johnson street.
This year about 5000 600 pounds of
freight will probably be handled by the
warehouse, as against 10.OO0000 pounds
last year. The Indian warehouse is big
distributing house for supplies for the
Indian schools and agencies operated by
these schools scattered over the face OF
the country from Maine TO Mexico. Most
of them are, however, IN the west: Inc
institutions are classed as contract, day
and boarding schools In the past the
Government has held TO the custom of
contracting. with the missionaries OF Ger
tain denominations TO operate schools for
the instruction Of the Indians, but this
policy apparently has received Its doom
and is 70 be discontinued within a lew
ting up it's own schoolhouSes, and this
means increase expenditures through the
Indian warehouse.
Lo, as the Indian is usually referred 10 by
the warehouse authorities, is very large
and includes almost everything devised
by the ingenuity of man, from a safety
pin to a steam thrasher. 1t Is difficult to
associate many of the articles shipped
from the warehouse with the indian as
he is pictured in the mind of the average
white To meet the progressive needs OF
the copper-colored wards OF the nation
the Government made the modest pur-
chas last year of 1900 boxes of shoe polish.
More than 100 eight-day clocks were
shipped from the warehouse to make glad
the ears of Indian pupils. and 80. .VO9 yards
OF elastic were distributed. Whether the
latter will be made into garters or slung-
shots is not of record. One thousand dozen
fine combs are furnished to keep the ra-
ven locks of the children Of nature in
proper condition, and 1900 safety pins
were forwarded along with the combs and
25 900 pairs of suspenders.
Other small orders executed for Uncle
Sam through his Chicago warehouses, and
for the benefit of his subjugated wards,
are IS 900 linen handkerchiefs, 10000 yards
OF mosquito netting. 700 yards OF hair
mills 120 sewing machines. II, 400 boxes Of
axle grease, 81 lawn mowers, 80 laundry
stoves, model cooking tables, kindergarten
gifts and schoolbooks and supplies in
Startling quantities. No person can pc
ruse the list Of things shipped from the
warehouse and not be convinced that the
reservation Indian is becoming more rap
idly civilized than the. young men who
comprise the membership of the Greek
letter 'frats'' OF the couutry.-Chicago

TO SAVE WATER OF
TUOLUMNE RIVER
photographers Plan a
Storage Reservoir.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

PASADENA. Sept. 3.-Henry Ramel and
Clyde Seavey have just returned to their
homes in this city from a three months
survey for storage reservoir in the
Hetch-Hetchy Valley. The reservoir is
planned by photographers Newell and
Lippencott of the Department OF the In
terror. the indefatigabe workers in the
interests of arid land irrigation by the
Government. ]. B. Lippencott, resident
photographer for California and Arizona,
visited the site in person. The surveyors
are enthusiastic over the feasibility of
the scheme, which is simply for the stor-
age of the waters of the Tuolumne River.
The Tuolumne. rising in the eastern
mountainous portion of this State. flows
off into the San Joaquin and is lost in
summer. Attempts have been made un-
successfully 10 store its waters for the
dry season. Several years ago the
Modesto and Turlock bitches were built.
They have been fruitful of little besides
controversy. Here is also the largest
diverting dam in the world. Still the
farmers have been enabled to raise only
grain. etc. There has never been a suffi-
cheney of water for agriculture on a large
scale. If the Government follows up its
project a reservoir thirty by twenty
miles will be built. There is a natural
site about 100 miles north of La Grange
and twenty miles from Sequoia, the near
est postofhce- 1t will not be necessary to
make any excavations. All that is nee
essary, the surveyors say. is TO build
gigantic diverting dam that will hold the
waters that now flow into the San
Joaquin. An immense amount of water
flows in the Tuolumne in the winter, but
in summer the river is low. The fall is
great, being in one place 127 feet.
The reservoir site is inside the Yosemite
Park reserve but is not a part of the
Yosemite Valley proper. One difficulty
exists in that the land is owned by pri-
vate parties who settled previous 10 the
establishment of the reserve. The Gov
ernment must therefore purchase the
land in order to build the reservoir.
The ranchers who have large holdings
in the country tributary 10 the Tuolumne
are said TO look forward with much hope
TO the Governments coming TO their re-
lief At present there is not water enough
for fruit growing. The towns which are
interested are Modesto, Waterford, En-
pire City, Paradise and Tuolumne. along
the river. If the water is stored il may
flow over the dam and into the irrigating
difcheS during The dry season.

YELLOW FEVER STATUS.
Number of Cases in Key West, but of
Mild Type.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-Oficials Of
the marine hospital service are working
in harmonious cooperation with the
State officials of Florida in dealing with
the yellow fever situation IN Key West
Such information as has been received by
DR.. Wyman, the surgeon general, shows
that there are number Of cases of yell
low fever there, but mild IN type DR..
Wyman to-day received from Key West
a list of persons who have left that city
recently, together with the date and man.
ner Of their departure and their destina-
ton. DR.. Wyman says that while there
is no occasion for alarm concerning these
people, ordinary precautions would re-
quire that they be kept under observa ton
for ten days. The War Department
authorities hope TO be able 10 get the
troops away from Key West by Tuesday.
Two kilograms were received by Sur
geon General Wyman to-day from the
Hampton Soldiers Home. where there
were recently many cases of yellow fever.
