Not "a Dozen of the Pan-Presbyte-

Not dozen members of the Pan Pres
byterian Alliance remain in the city.
When the session closed last night there
was general departure of delegates, many
of them being on the Atlantic today.
The New York Avenue Church was de-
serted this morning. except for the cart
men who were hauling away the hundreds
of plants which had beautified the audito-
rum and the men who were cleaning up
the church.
Dr. Radcliffe, the pastor, said this morn
ing that the sessions had been the most
successful ever held. While the attend
ance of the public had been smaller than
elsewhere, there had been a bigger rep
resentation of the church, and the largest
transaction of business and great good
had been accomplished.
The Alliance will not meet again until
1904 in Liverpool. Rev. Dr. t. B. Young,
the leading authority on hymnology and
church music, paid deserved compliment
before leaving to the New York Avenue
Church choir. He said its rendition of the
music during the council had been beauti-
full, artistic, and up 10 the highest stand
ard. He specially mentioned the music it
had furnished during the Communion serv-

The point so long in controversy was the

STOCK DEALING LIMITED
The Trading at Today's Opening
Mainly Professional.
No Material Pressure Bearing ON the
Standard Securities-The Granger

of the Market-BrOokIyn Rapid
Transit One of the Weak Issues.

NEW YORK. Oct. THE trading in this
mornings stock market was limited in VOL.
ume and largely professional in character.
Prices were depressed at the opening.
chiefly in sympathy with the tendency of
the London market and on account of the
unfavorable disposition of the dealings here
in foreign accounts. The particular weak
ness in Brooklyn Rapid Transit was also
not without effect upon the remainder OF
the market. There was, however, no ma
terial amount of pressure evident in the
dealings in the standard issues, and after
the opening the whole market enjoyed quite
a sharp recovery.
The bank statement failed 10 show the
heavy reduction in the loan account that
had been expected. The shrinkage there
was only So, $50, 900. Actual cash fell away
81. .133 600, the amount being also much be-
low the general estimates. The state
ment was far out of technical proof as
deposits shrank only s4,250.000. In con-
sequence of the changes in cash and in de-
posits the bank surplus reserves were
reduced S1,080,000 and they not stand
at s543, GOO. The statement was not fol-
lowed by any substantial changes in the

South African situation or upon the other
matters occupying attention. AS is ordi-
Marty the case on Saturday, attention was
largely directed toward the probable show

general expectations in this respect Steady

Prices in the stock market this morning
held up strongly and even advanced In
most cases during the entire session, but
business was dull and rather uninteresting
Brokers and traders were away for, the
yacht race and those who remained TO do
business did not care to venture heavily In
either direction. During the early part Of
the session the market waited for the bank
statement, and perhaps bought stocks some
what, discounting what many thought would
be a favorable showing. The statement
was poor one, showing further decrease
in the reserve which cuts the surplus down
almost to the vanishing point. But even
this had no effect on prices, the close be-
ing strong and around the highest prices for
the day. Money was easy again, the call
room rate being around 5 per cent for a
large part of the loans. The statement
figures are as follows: Reserves, decreased,
s1.0S1, $50; loans, decreased. s3590, zoo; de-
posits, decreased, s4,205, 400; specie, de-
creased, SO, ,4S4 900; legals, increased, ST.
351, 400; circulation, increased, $317, 900. 1t
may be expected that the opening of the
market on Monday will show recessions oil
account of this statement. The absence or
traders at the race today probably pre-
vented such movement Immediately after
the figures were published. Later in the
week the shrewd people look for better
market, though still acknowledging that
professionalism is likely TO play an impor-
tant part with quotations for some time to
come.

that it is almost if not quite impossible
TO depress the level any further. They
are becoming nervous over the signs OF

begin to cover in earnest it can hardly be
doubted that a fine rally will occur
which many conservative people believe
will be turned into the bull campaign OF

The graceful actions of the diving
gannets fascinated some OF US ior
many q long hour, says the London
Globe. The species is nearly akin to
the British gannet, which breeds.
among other places. on Lundy island.
The chief difference in plumage Is that
the mid-Atlantic bird has a tinge OF
rose color on the white feathers in
place Of the more familiar buff wash
OF color; otherwise they appear to be
identical in typical characters. Bent
on some fishing expedition, a pair OF
these beautiful gannets tower upward
through space. At considerable al
titude. the eyes with that curious To-
cusing power which belongs to bird
life. can penetrate the sea water be-
low to such depth that the evolu-
tions of the fish are visible. Sudden
ly the birds swoop down with a su-
perb headlong dive into the ocean. For
two minutes or more nothing can be
seen; but all at once a gannet reap
pears with fish crossways In its man
dibles. After many Intellectual efforts
to adjust 80 dainty a morsel to the
capacities of its gullet, the bird, with
manifest signs Of anger. tosses the I'M
fortunate fsh high in the air. catches
1t lengthwise in the fall, and 10! the
deed is accomplished. The two birds
probably work in concert beneath the
waters in order to frighten the more
unwary fish to sudden destruction. A
second species Of gannet breeding on
st. Paul's rocks has piumage Of uni
form brown with red legs. The eggs
are OF more decided blue than the
other kind. The boobies abound amid
the rocks. Although intensely stupid
and easily captured alive, the full
grown specimens will occasionally
show fight. A sailor who had been
sent into the maintops to seize a fool
ish BOBBY was hailed by the skipper
from below: Have you caught it,"
mo, sir" came the reply; but 1t has

rigging, the bird had grabbed the man

represent 10000 OF expenditure and
they Will be begun almost Immediate
ly. The first sod of the works is ex-
pected to be cut by Lord Provost Sir
David Richmond on Saturday week,
but, as the committee has strong
feeling against lavish expenditure ut
the few functions that may be neces-
sary before the grand opening of the
show, the ceremony will be avery sim
pie one. \ special effort is to be made
to have the principal buildings finished
by the close of the Paris exposition in
1900, SO that exhibits may be taken
direct from Paris to Glasgow. and put
into their places here without the ne
ccssity of storing them in any other
place In the interval.
