A CHARITY ASSOCIATION.
To Organize Saturday at the
Mayors Office.


The friends whose attention has
been called to the need of some or
ganization to provide for the char
tiles of the town, after conferring,
have decided to take definite ac-
tion by meeting at the mayors Of
fee next Saturday afternoon and
effecting an organization. Every
one who feels the need of organ
lied effort in Vinita to relieve
those who have been unfortunate
and are in distress should be pres
ent and take part 10 the organiza-
ton. 1t has been suggested that a
relief union be formed with consti-
tuition and bylaws, and properly
officered, and system of monthly
dues be arranged for the member
ship so that a treasury may be
kept and constantly replenished
to meet such exigencies as may
arise. 1t is hoped this matter will
receive the attention it deserves
and not be allowed to lag. Re-
member the hour, 3 o'clock p. m,
sharp.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

"WEDNESDAY. Aug. %,
There was a pronounced change for the better
n the stock market to-day. The ootsrie OF
spectators that had been operating for de-
cline ceased their assaults on stocks. and as
result there was an improvement in prices that
extended through the list. The volume OF
transactions too. was considerably increased.
II seemed to be revealed that there was n
general desire to trade In stocks which had
been suppressed by the recent rniding OF tho
market. 1t also appeared to be demon stratcd
that the present natural tendency OF values
was to advance. For another thing II was made
clear that the savage onslaught on stocks. and
two stocks In particular on the FIRST two days
OF the week was not based on current or i'm
pending disclosures or conditions. but had for
ita purpose tho breaking down OF prices so as
TO permit tho covering OF outstanding short
contracts on which serious loss was threatened
by the advancing course OF the market.
While the dealings in Brooklyn Rapid Tran
cit were little moro than half as large as yester-
day. when the stock was under attack. they
represented in large part buying for the long
account. and there was fair gain I'm the price
With better understanding OF the company's
report for the year ending June 30 moro
favorable view evidently was taken OF It. More
weight was attached to the point made by cap
ttallsts identified with the property that the
value Of the stock should be based not so much
on existing conditions as what the future. 80
far as II may be indicated, will bring forth.
There was rally in Sugar Refining on the be-
lief that the cut in sugar did not mean a re-
newal OF the sugar trade war. but instead was
an ordinary trade measure intended to facili-
tate the movement Of sugar out Of the hands OF
relners and into consum ption. The produce
tion OF sugar this summer has been very heavy.
