SMITH HIS OWN DETECTIVE.
Trailed Down the Man Who Stole His
 Watch.

About 9:30 last evening John H. Smith, who lives on Elizabeth street, called at the Dixwell avenue police sta- ton and complained to Sergeant Me- Grath, who was at the desk. that his silver watch was stolen Tuesday and he thought that the theft was commit- ted by one of his roomers. Smith said that after the watch disappeared he hunted through the pawnshops in the city and finally found the watch in a shop where 1t had been sold by a man whose description he had obtained from the pawnbroker.
 The description tallied with that of man named Joseph B. Young, who roomed at Smiths house. Smith told Sergeant McGrath that he thought from Young's actions that he was about to leave town and asked that he be arrest ed. Detective Frey was detailed on the case and going to the Elizabeth street house Smith pointed out Young to him. Young was arrested and taken to the Dixwel avenue station house. where he confessed to the theft of the watch. Another watch also believed to have been stolen was found upon his person. When Smith and the detective arrived at the house thy found Young just about to leave with his grip packed. He was evidently about to get out of the city,

late in the day precipltated movement to take profits elsewhere. so that the closing was easy at considerable races- sions from the best.
 The distinguishing feature of the market was it's uneVenness. A few stocks were active and strong. A lar
 ger number showed sharp advances af-
 ter lying dormant for some time, so
 that very meagre transactions were
 sufficient to move them. But the ma
 jority of the list was only moderately active, small net gains being the rule in sympathy with the strength in spe- cial stocks. Tennessee Coal led the steel stocks with an extreme advance of IA, but several of the group re- sponded to the extent of a point or over. Metropolitan Street Railway rose 2A early in the day, but Brooklyn Tran sit took the leadership of the group with a rise of 31a on the favorable ju- diciaI decision in the ten cent fare case. In the grangers St. Paul and Burling- ton rose about 2 points each. Early advances in Leather, Peoples Gas and Southern Pacific proved abortive, and these stocks were relegated to the back ground.
 The hopefulness of the bulls was predicated on the more encouraging feeling regarding China which was re- flected froam abroad, on the confidence that the money market is assured to period of ease Tn eab- sence of any engagements of gold for export to-day also helped the market, as did the favorable crop news. The bond market continued dull and prices moved irregularly. Total sales par value $1,2S5, 000

WALL STREET.

As Viewed by Prince & Whitely s
 Market Letter.
 New York, July 23-On the surface news from the far east was much more assuring than for week past, whether or not 1t was intrinsically so, the diplo- mats and foreign officers of the coun- tries most at interest in the question will decide for laymen and speculative operators later on. From past exper- fence little importance, marketwise at least, should be attributed to reports from China, but since it suits to look upon them in a more roseate light at the moment they are made use of to at least maintain our foreign market for eigners don't, according to our informal ton, bestow much faith in any improve ment of the situation. Their markets are flat and even Americans are neg lected. Operations here for foreign ac- count about balance themselves. While trade conditions here are beyond doubt regulating themselves, there Is very It. tie new speculative commission business making its appearance, and only profes- sional interests are believed to be at the bottom of present maintenance of val ues, Crop reports are not what they should be to positively insure good crops and while prices of cereals do not denote this we are told their decline Is due more to heavy Danubian and Rus sian shipments than any marked i'm prGvement in crop situation in United States.
 Foreign exchange is firm and further gold shipments by Thursdays steam CTS are expected, actual rate ASA and 4S7. Money remains easy and unchang- ed. Taking all facts and conditions in to consideration the stock market was surprisingly strong. Wheat after open ing one cent lower recovered the decline but later became quite soft again clos ing 1 IA cents lower than Saturday. Crop news is not assuring, and parties well informed usually are moderately bullish on the situation. Cotton is neg lected speculatively. European markets are strong and advanced 1-16 penny for acutal cotton and equal to 20 points of our miney. New York is short and bearish, but the position Is strong and the market ought to advance. During the closing hour the stock market was quiet, some recessions in price took brace under retaliation of profits, but there was rot any pressure noticeable. Total sales, 4425 5S1.

 New York, July 23.-The influential interests which have taken the leader ship in the stock market continued their efforts to-day to make rising market with the object of inviting public buy ing. There was not much difficulty ap- parent in advancing prices, as the long interest has not yet attained large pro- portions, and there still remains a con- siderable short interest, whose position grows daily more precarious. There was some accession If outside buyins as we'll which 1t is the ultimate obiect of the present buying to attract as q reliance for absorbing stocks at high CT level.
 The appearance of this buying en- the professional bulls to le- doubled efforts and the days market as a result gave an appearance Of greater activity and more strength than on any day last week. This was true after Sugar had been checked in it's first reactionary lendan- cy and was found to move upwards easily on moderate buying, This stock continued to have q marked influence on the whole market and Its reaction

---------------------- YACHT RACES OFF NEWPORT.

Mineola Again Wins-Yankee Second, Vir-
 ginia Third, Rainbow Last.
 Newport, July 23.-Mineola was the win ner to-day in the race for 70 footers Cap tain Wrnge landing A. Belmont's boat il the lead by two minutes, the widest mar. gin in any race yet sailed in the series. Yankee was second, but not far ahead of Virginia, and Rainbow came in last. The weather conditions were not so favorable as on the previous days, the wind being pretty strong at the start, but dying out considerably It was hay and a moder. angular, as usual, and 34 miles in length, with the largest leg to windward
 All started late the first boat, the Vir- gnia, being full minute behind the gun, first reach, four miles east-southeast, all four boats carried No. 1 club topsails and tib topsals The Mineola began to gain from the very first and at the mark was well ahead on actual sailing time, beating Virginia thirteen and Yankee fourteen sec, onds. Then came 161a miles of windward work. Yankee went out to sea, while the other three took port tack for the Narra- gansett shore. Although they made little change in relative positions Mlneola seemed to work closer to the wind than any of the others. When well in shore they came about and stood out on the opposite tack, although Rainbow soon changed again and continued on down the shore as far as Point Judith.
 As the yachts came together it was soon seen that the Mineola had weathered the Virginia, while Rainbow under the shore was we'll behind, having the poorest wind or Block Island the racers were met by Il strong tide which set them fast to leeward Before rounding, Virginia gave Mineola a short tussle for place, but lost by splitting Jacks. Mineola made the quickest time of all at this leg, beating Yankee a little less and Virginia q little more than two min utes, Rainbow falling off badly. Rainbow and Virginia were forced to tack to round the mark, while Yankee lutfed up. Mine ola did clever trick, gyhing to port low By this move she was well off to the finish before Virginia, the second boat. had It was run home fourteen miles with the, wind dead astern and Vir- ginia sailing the fastest, beating Mineola

THE ANTITRUST CONFERENCE.

The anti. trust conference be held in
Chicago on Lincoln's birthday, Feb. IL,
will bring together number ofmen of
great eminence in the nation and all no.
tedfor their Intelligence, effective and un-
compromising hostility to trusts. 1t
will be remembered that few weeks ago
conference was held under the auspices
Of the Civic Federation, which professed
to be wholly discussion of the trust
problem pro and con. 1t was then that
Mr.. Bryan met and defeated the high
attorney Of plutocrcy, Burke Cochran.
This coming conference Is to differ from
the latter in that it is to be made up,
SO far as its promoters can arrange it,,
only of men who are distinctly hostile
to the trust. 1t is expected that heroic
measures for the destruction OF these
monopolistic combinations will be ad-
vised and it is very notable that in the
long lists of names of those interested IN
the affair which is given out, nearly all
are Democrats or associated with the al
lied forces that made the battle in 1896.
in truth the antitrust conference will
bein all essentials Democrat gathering
for it is through the machinery Of the
Democratic party that trusts can he
most effectively attacked.
