She was standing at seaport, on the
pier, pocketbook in hand, watching the
bathers. In moment of thoughtless-
ness, down went the pocketbook into
the ocean. The woman screamed and
tainted. When she came to, man
volunteered to dive for it, if she would
show him where it fell. She did, and
down he went, under the waves four
times. At last he brought up the
pocketbOok. She was overjoyed. She
opened it. There were S175 and two
diamond rings. Did she offer the diver
V or an X? No, she offered him so
cents. He thanked her and told her to
keep it for her car fare. Then the crowd
laughed and jeered until the woman
had to leave the pier. Moral.-There
are times when generosity is the essen
tial element of reward.

Ironton Republican:-There is no
tariff on rubber. We do not raise a
pound of it, and it all comes into this
country free of duty. Yet the rubber

country. Will Mr.. Havemeyer ex-
plain how the Republican tariff is the
mother of this trust?

"Talk about us putting on dress for
show" said lady the other day, ''the
men are just about as bad or worse.
Why, they join societies just to put on
flaring costumes and march about in
plumes, sashes and all sorts of flub-
dubbery. They have as keen a relish
for ornamentation as women have, but
without the good judgment to use it."

THE North Atlantic fleet will be sent
across the Atlantic to escort Dewey
home. Isn't there little danger OF
over doing this thing? There is danger
that the difference in the hOnors shown
Dewey's vessel and the Santiago fleet
may be more marked than justice will
warrant. They all did splendidly.

A QUIET DAY IN
 STOCK EXCHANGE New York Traction Stocks Re-
 fuse to Advance. SATURDAY BANK STAT EMENT Close Analysis Fails to Disclose Any En- couraging Features- Few of the
 Specialties Rally After De- clining Bond Market. 
SATURDAY BANK STATEMENT

New York, September 23.-The tone of the trading in stock quiet by comparison with the recent excited temper on the ex- change, but the local traction stock con- atinued to reflect a decided frame of mind. Brooklyn Transit refused to go up more than a point, and then slipped below last nights level.
 Its extreme decline was points and over, with a final rally of covering by shorts. Its net loss is points. Metropolitan fared better, and has gain of over 2. The other New York city stocks fell off in sympathy with Brooklyn Transit, and the stocks in the Flower group were inclined to weak ness all around. There was no marked strength at any time. The early advance was nominally in sympathy with the hope expressed in some quarters abroad that the Transvaal question would find a peaceful solution after all. Earlier gains had been very generally wiped out when the bank statement appeared. The first effect of the statement was rally, due to buying by those who never look further than the surplus reserve figures.
 An analysis of the statement failed to develop any very encouraging feature in it. and prices fell away again to the low est of the day, and closed there, except for few specialties, which rallied. The banks are stronger by wider margin of surplus reserve than last week, but the statement shows a decrease in cash some what less than had been anticipated.
 The bond market has moved generally in sympathy with stocks, but has not been as active nor changes wide. United States 2s advanced A, but old As, registered, de- clined II, and the 3s, B in the bid price.

 New York, September 23-Notwithstaho- ing the palpable relaxation in the money market Wall street seemed still this moru- ing to fix its attention upon the probable showing to be made by the banks in their weekly statement of averages. At all events prior to the publication of the bank statement the stock market had a very uncertain tone, and after the opening the trading was in very light volume. There was practically absence of definite news bearing upon particular stocks and no changes of importance changed the general situation over night The market opened strong and active chiefly because of the general expectations that today's bank statement would show a substantial strengthening in the position of the asso- ciated banks. The South African situation seemed to be somewhat less threatening, although as against this, small and irreg- ular changes appeared in the London stock market. The features of the early market were Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Lea ther stocks. The recovery in the first named made further progress without any thing more definite coming to light in re- gard to the rumored entrance of new in- terests into the property. The bank state ment showed heavy decrease in liabilities of the banks that had been expected, de- posts falling $20, ,793 000 The market closed firm at about the highest points.

FIRM STATE OF
 -1 COTTON MARKET Profit Taking at Times Had a Depressing Influence. CROP MOVEMENT SMALL Brokers in Wall Street Executed Number of Large Buying Orders The Close Was Steady With
 Prices Net Higher

New York, September 2S.-T,.t cotton market made firm start, with prices to 8 points lower in the near months, on ad- verse European cables, while the distant months showed a rise of to 5 points on very heavy buying from all sources, led to dsgruntled shorts. Throughout the morn ing the trading was very heavy, and ex- citement was at fever heat.
 Profit taking at times temporarily de- pressed the market, but reaction was in- evitable, as a steady stream of buying or- ders poured in from the south and abroad Wall street brokers executed number of large buying orders, said to be for the &C., count of strong houses. The chief incen- tive of the bull faction was the small crop movement Reports that spot cotton in the south was rapidly advancing on unabated demand from exporters, aided in support ing the market here Shorts were kept in a nervous state from the opening to the close by bad crop news, and talk of seven cent cotton from the bull crowd.
 The market for futures closed firm with the prices net to points higher Il
