& The money market is still the
factor IN the stock market. Rumors
that some Of the large interests had
realized on big blocks of stocks re-
Gently were not credited, as evil
dences pointed rather to steady ac-
cuinuiation. The market has lapsed
into a condition in which good news
fails fiat and bad news is only eff
fective when most decidedly ad-
verse. In other words, it is simply
the drifting period of midsummer,
when the public IS out of the mar
ket and the leaders are inclined to
check active speculation rather than
foster it during a time when the
natural movement OF cash is away
from New York to the interior. The
New York Central on the announce
ment Of its remarkable increase, Of
$1,000, 900 gross during July, ad-
vanced X point from the previous
low price, but Immediately lost
most OF the gain. Kansas City.
Pittsburg & Gulf and Panhandle
were the features Of the usually
inactive list. Special developments
in both cases were responsible for
these moves. which carried the for
mer up IL net, to Is, and Panhan-
die common up l, to 60, and the pre-
ferrednp 24, to S9A. There was
extensive liquidation in the Tobacco
stocks and Tennessee Coal & Iron.
Colorado Fuel declined u point, but
was we'll taken at the lower price.
In the railway list Atchison pre-
terred, Chicago Great Western,
Rock Island, Louisville & Nash
vile, Minneapolis e. St. Louis,
Northern Pacific, Reading issues,
Texas & Pacific, Union Pacific is
sues and Southern Pacific were the
strong features. The close was IL
regular and unsettled.
AFTER giving the case of Captain
Chambers due deliberation ard
hearing all the witnesses for and
against the Captain, he was ex-
onerated. The charges were pre-
ferred by Butcher DuRoss, whose
meat the Captain, under orders from
Chief Dolan, had brought to the
city hall and there pronounced TN
fit for sale.
S, H. J. Massey was also exon
Grated of the charges preferred
against him, after hearing testi-
mony in the same. DuRoss has in
stituted suit against Captain Cham
bers, the Third Street Market House
people, Patrick Monaghan and the
Sun, for publishing the article given
to it by Captain Chambers. The
exoneration of the two officers by
the Board of Police Commissioners
gives them clean bill Of health"
before that body.
THE Jersey truckers and the
Street and Sewer Department are
now having merry war. The
truckers objectto paying the tribute
demanded by tie city tor landing
their truck at the wharf Front and
Church streets. They have had
shed of their own erected and land
their produce at no cost to them but
the rent Of the ground upon which
the shed is erected. The Street and
Sewer Commission have a right to
regulate the landing of Jersey
truck in our city and these truck
ers will soon find it out, as they have
openly dehed the Board.
THERE seems to be some differ
ence between the city department
that controls the gathering Of gar
bage and those who have to dispose
of the same, about Sunday. The
garbage men on Saturday end their
weeks work at noon, and thus the
garbage is allowed to accumulate
from Saturday noon until Monday
morning, which is too long this
warm weather. The attention OF
the Board of Health is called to this
matter for them to remedy.
THE famous Dreyfus trial has be-
gun tor the second time and this
time it is thought that Captain
Dreytus will be found innocent of
the charges made against him by
the French court martial. He is
charged with delivering to the
agents OF a foreign power, docu-
ments connected with the defence of
France. Some of the principles of
the first trial have committed sui
eide and others have left the coun-
try.
THE trolley roads were never so
well patronized in Wilmington as
this summer. The extension of the
trolley to Chester has been the
means of bringing hundreds of dol
lars worth of business to this city.
The opening up of the New Castle
road has shown what a trolley all
the way down the State would do,
both for the owners and the city.
1t would bring persons to our city.
who do not now think of stopping
Oft the train, but 60 on to Philadel-
phia to do their shopping.
QUITE change in the weather
has taken place during the past
twenty-tour hours and from being
warm and stltry it has been cool
