One of the rumOrs in the Street is that
Mr. Keene is conducting operations on the
short side of the market from London
There is no reason to believe the story, as
the gentleman went abroad for rest under
orders from his physicians. But the
Street never has a bear movement that It
is not attributed to Mr.. Keene.

prices.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1900-05-09

All OF these things have not prevented
something very like a panic in Wall Street.
This morning prices were OF 3 TO 10 from
the level OF ii month ago and the best Sc
curities on the list had not escaped. 1t
remains to be seen how much the actual
worth Of securities will influence the tJr
ture course Of prices. Some of the bears
contend that the declines are not yet over
and that after a small rally due TO short
covering there will be a further very weak
market On the other hand the optimis-
tically inclined suggest that the declines
have been much too large and that the re-
covery will be the more buoyant and i'm
portant in consequence. Possibly the facts
will show somewhere between these two
theories A small rally seems certain. Aft
or il has occurred no surprise should be
felt. if there is a choppy and uncertain
market for some time to come. The ulti-
mate course or prices should be upward
from the present abnormal level.
There has been some Liquidation. but it
is conservative that the short sales
have been far more numerous and import
ant. II is this fact that gives the bulls
a legitimate ground for hope that the mar
ket is not going to pieces. The big bears
are covering and the small fry continue
their operations. The result of this is almost
always one thing, Ii violent squeeze Of the
little bears at the moment when they are
most confident. The important holders Of
securities show little disposition to sell
them out at present prices. On the other
hand, there is good Investment buying. An
example of this is to be seen in the grang-
ers These stocks all opened of point
or so this morning on new sales ~There
was heavy covering going on all the time,
however. and from the first quotations the
stock showed a disposition to recover.
There has been little liquidation of these
stocks The immense earnings of the
lines. the outlook for good wheat and corn
crops and the prospect of lower prices on
iron and steel for further improvements,
make the outlook for the group exception
ally rosy.

Boy in the Orchard.

Every man who has been boy, every
woman who has been the sister to boy,
and everybody who knows a thing about
boys and their habits, feel certain that
boys were made to eat green apples, and
that green apples were made for boys, to
eat. just now is the time for the Bell 5
Early and the Red Astrakan. They are
fit to eat, and the boy who wouldn' eat
them is fool or has been scared by cross
between fool and a coward OF course,
any boy knows better than to eat Baldwin
and Winter Greetings in August. If he
doesn t, the apples will tell him of his
error before he has done much harm The
average boy is safer in the orchard at this
time Of year than in any other place. The
fruit is both food and medicine to him.
OF course, the doctors will growl little
1t is business for them to do, but no doc
tor can scare a bright boy away from an
orchard in August. The youth has a due
amount Of respect for the family dog, and
will take pains to placate or kill the same,
according to the dog disposition; but the
boy who will listen to doctor when the
sward under the apple tree is blushing
with Red Astrakans ism built right and
will come to bad end if he continues his
career long enough

The Drought in Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, Aug To-day was the
hottest here in years, the mercury reach
inc l04 at noon Business last night was
practically suspended and in the poorer dis
tricts families spent the night on their door
steps. The dust ON country roads is six
inches deep, and many of the smaller
streams are entirely dry. The drying up
of wells causes much distress among cat
tie, which in many places have to be
driven long distances for water Eegeta-
ton is literally burned up and tobacco and
corn have suffered severely 4 light
shower this evening slightly reduced the
temperature.
SHGPPENSBURG, August l2.-The
drought is becoming very serious matter
in the Cumberland Valley. In the farm
inc districts wells and cisterns are driving
up, and man and beast are suffering. The
corn is practically drying up in the stalk
and unless rain comes soon there will be a
small crop The Shippensburg Water
Department has prohibited the sprinkling
of streets, pavements, gardens and lawns
on account of shortage Of water The
maximum temperature of last week was
recorded yesterday afternoon at l02.
York, Pa, August 12-York county
is experiencing an unusual drouth at this
time, and unless there is a rainfall soon
the fruit and vegetation will be entirely
dried and burned up In certain sections
the streams and small springs have entirely
dried up Farmers are compelled to take
their cattle to the larger streams TO get
water, and many of them are 50 reduced
as not to be recognizable In certain parts
of the Susquehanna people can easily walk
across.

THAT SETTLED TT

My friend, the Shopper" takes the
 greatest interest in watching the
 crowds that are always hurrying and
 bustling from one counter to another. Last evening she began telling me the
 experiences of the day. By the way" she said, II can give you some new and original ideas in salesmanship that came under my notice to-day. During my shopping tour I had occasion to stop at the dress-goods counter of the Colossus. Every salesman was busy. l had plenty of time, and so indulged my observing instinct. A well-dressed lady was engaged in the pleasing task of selecting an evening dress of a deli cate shade of blue The salesman was of a pronounced Hebrew type, and anxious to make the sale. He had a wonderful flow of language, and a shrewd faculty of holding the goods somewhat on the bias to make 1t ap- pear wider than it really was. The lady finally expressed a fear that the color might fade, it being of such a delicate hue. The salesman spoke up Vat madam Dat goods fade! Dat goods will never fade: be- cause vhy,' and holding up the goods as far outstretched as possible, he ex- because it is so vide The lady purchased seven yards. "-Wo- mans Home Companion.
