The Stock Market.

! New York, Aug. 1.-The stock mar ket made some show of activity and strength in the early dealings to-day,
 but the movement had about exhausted itself before the end of the first hour
 The tone of many railroad stocks af- fected the industrials, which had start
 ed to go up, and realizing set in which
 wiped out many gains. The market re- fused to go up again and drifted quite aimlessly for the rest of the day, the volume of business falling to the lowest ebb. The stocks which made the early activity were the Iron and Steel and the Leather stocks. Some of the former had quite handsome net gains remain ing at the close of the day, Federal Steel and Colorado Fuel being the only ones in the group to show net losses. Tennessee Coal was still foremost in the movement and touched S31a, but failed to make it's net gain whole point. There was tremendous scramble to take on United States Leather and the price touched 105s. Practically the whole of it's gain was wiped out in a realizing movement and the preferred stock closed below last night. There was midday demand for Mexican Cen tral and Mexican National which was unexplained in the days news. De- troit Gas and Union Bag and Paper both common and preferred-showed sharp gains.
 There were few strong spots in the railroad list, notably Chicago Great Western debentures, which went up 1%, and Missouri, Kansas City and Texas, both common and preferred. Oregon Navigation lost 2% of it's recent rise. A few railroad stocks showed fractional gains, but the general tone was heavy The condition of spring wheat shown by the government crop report had some influence. Much was made of report that a rate from New York to Kansas City had been made on freight by way of the Grand Trunk and Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy by way of the Gulf and Southwestern lines. Some anxiety was felt lest this might presage a war of rates, calculated to have a very unfavorable effect on earn ings.
 It is expected that New York banks will be shown to have reduced their loans. Call loans were about steady to- day and the decline to 21A per cent. in the late dealings was of little sgnifi- canoe, as it occurred after most of the demand had been satisfied.
 Movements in the bond market were sluggish and irregular and business was not large. Total sales, par value $1, ,093, 900.

A GREAT ENTEPpRISE.

worthy American citizen, having made fortune, fared forth to see the world. European business ways and habits thoroughly disgusted this ner- vously keen expert in money making, and he poured forth his scorn to some friends he met in Paris One of them, knowing the ignorance of the old gen. tleman on subjects without the circle in which he had lived ventured on a joke.
 q agree with you" he said; q agree with you thoroughly. Why, do you know. sir, I was last week in a city of one hundred and twenty-five thousand inhabitants-and I was overcome, sir overcome to find they hadn't livery stable in the city"
 'No-you don't tell mel" answered the victim. Gentlemen see there! Just consider that!" Then, jumping to his feet, as the thought struck him: Why, gentlemen, fortunes awaiting some one there! Where's the place? Whats the name of it?"
 "Venice," said the joker,
 Good! I'm tired of this place any way. I'll go right down there to-mor- row, and put little horse-sense into the town. Gentlemen, you're in this good thing with me, if you choose"
 They were all in 1t, and they invested their friend with powers plenipotentia- ". The story has no dramatic point, save that it is historic fact that Ven ice was visited No one ever heard an account of that visit, but for long af- terward no participant in the joke could get within hailng- g-distance of the self appointed pioneer of American enter prise-Harper's Round Table.

 Yesterday

FISHERMENS' LUCK.
New Haven Party Obliged to Stay on Brealxyyater All Thurslay Night.


 Charles S. MacGilvray, the newsdeal- 1 CT; Dr. F. J. Brothers John Kelly and | Eugene Mckenna had an exciting and quite a romantic experience Thursday night on the west breakwater. The party started early in the morning on a fishing excursion and were landed on the breakwater as the sea was running very high at the time, making fishing from the preakwater better than from small boat. The party remained on the breakwater all day as the fish were biting very good, considerable luck com- ing the gentlemens way.
 The sea was running altogether too high to allow a boat to land so the fishermen were obliged to stay on the breakwater all night They secured quarters in the shed erected by Contrac- tor Toomey for the accommodation of his men who are building the new Sper- ry light house.
 MT. MacGilvray and company were made as comfortable as possible on the boards of the shed, but they began to think all the luck they ever had had deserted them The cold. dreary wind made them wish for home and mother, and as friend of one of them put it last night, they "wished such a thing as a fish never happened"
 The many friends of the fishermen were cutie anxious as to their safety when morning came around and they didn't show up Inquiries were made along the water front yesterday morn ing, and 1t was learned they stayed all night on the breakwater. A sailboat started for the party yesterday after noon early and took them to Savin Rock where they were thawed out They reached the city about 3:3O vester- day afternoon.

 THE STORY OF A POET.

Here is true story of poet. The poet was travelling and had lost his lug gage, which is a natural thing to hap pen to a poet. Ultimately, though a poet, he found it, and then the trouble began. The authorities, since it was within the British Isles, could not do by him as they did in Italy by another poet of my cquaintance--arrest him for having more money about him than his appearance warranted. What they could do they did; they refused to all low that the baggage belonged to him. Naturally, it was not labelled; natural ly, also, he had got no keys to any of his pnrtmanteaus. However, he insist ed, and at last offered to give an inven- tory of the contents. At the top" he said, "you will find manuscript poem. and I will tell you what is in the poem." The station master took him at his word: and so Limerick Junction saw the sight of a station master holding a poets manuscript and the poet endeav- bring to recite it. The script was grabbed and full of alterations, the po- cts memory was deficient and a con siderable period of time was consumed before the station master was convinced that he had before him not only a poet, but poets portmanteau-Pal Mall Gazette.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
CROP REPORTS AND PROB4BILI
 TIES,

Furnish an Important Contribution to General Trade-Despite Prospect of m
 Immense Yield Prices Have Been
 Fairly Well Held.
 New York, Aug. 11.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Crop reports and probabilities have constituted an inn portant contribution to general trade and business advices this week. De- spite the prospect of an immense yield, however, prices have been fairly well held. Spring wheat indications appar- ently bear out earlier trade advices in showing a decrease in condition during July. The reduction of 25,000000 bush els in the probable outcome estimated however, still allows of a total wheat crop of 535 100000 bushels, considerably smaller, it is true, than last years, but with the exception of 1898 and of 1884, the best recorded Visible supplies of cotton are nearly 500000 bales larger than at this time year ago and are nearly double what they were in 1S97 but against this is to be cited the gen. erally profitable business in manufac- tured lines the world oyer and the be- lief that good spinning grades may be scarce. The iron and steel situation is particularly interesting at present. Though not specially active at eastern markets, western advices are of heavy demand, scarce supplies of material, higher prices and increasing volume of business booked for next year. The July production of pig iron was the largest ever known, but in spite of this stocks showed decrease and current produc- ton is easily at the rate of $14,000, 900 tons a year. Hides, leather, boots and shoes are sympathetically strong. Wool is firm on steady manufacturing de- mand, particularly for the finer grades of domestic, and advices from the man. ufacturing industry are generally favor- able.
