LITTLE INTEREST
 IN STOCK MARKET Operators Had Little Material on Which to Influence Prices. BROOKLYN TRANSIT ACTIVE Intere st in That Stock Was Aroused by Analysis of the Annual Statement
 Steel Responded to Tenor
 of the Trade News
BROOKLYN TRANSIT ACTIVE

New York, August 1S.-But for the in- terest aroused by an analysis of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit annual statement, professional operators would have had lit tie material to influence prices although the report showed that a shade over l per cent was earned on the stock discussion of specific items was unfavorable. For in stance the high ratio of operating expenses and outstanding loans of $1,000,000 arouse comment
 Decided pressure was exerted against the stock from the outset, an expense loss of 21a being made, with the net loss reduced to 1s on purchases by the short interest. In Peoples Gas a fall of per cent was without adequate explanation, but this stock also recovered somewhat in the final dealins. The movements were the chief features of the market its narrowness be- ing accentuated by the absence of London operations, it being holiday there. Rail- way stocks were relatively better sustain ed than the general run of specialties.
 At times the professional operators ex- perienced some difficulty in keeping stocks within circumscribed limits, the market becoming broader and outside orders be- ing executed. Brooklyn Transit was jug gled on predictions as to it's forthcoming annual report. Sugar vibrated on trade and divided prospects, and the coalers were affected by vague reports. Respecting the rise in railroads more definite facts facts were cited, including improvements in the crops and weekly earnings. Steel issues responded to the tenor of the trade news and the negotiations with labor bodies.
 AS a result of these varied influences prices rose from to points and the en- eral feeling brought more confident In the last half of the week realiZations by the interests who were most active in the rise and discussion of Saturdays bank statement produced a general decline. Enough of the weeks advance confirmed closely to the developments in stocks. In terest was marked in middle grade issues. United States refunding 2s, when issued. advanced a new and old As 1a0A in the bid price. The 5s declined 1s per cent.

 New Orleans, August 1S.-Compared with the closing of last Saturday futures here snow but gain of about 10 points on Sep tember and about points on the winter months. During the week dry hot weather has generally been the rule in the South As a result of this condition, the Texas crop prospects are growing brilliant, those or Arkansas and southeastern States poorer while those of the Gulf States are somewhat better, though rain at any point now except in Texas would be welcomed
 Official confirmation of the relief of the Legations in Pekin and a less favorable Chronicle report than expected warranted a better market than we had today.
 Futures at Liverpool only gained 1-64ths while spots were in poor demand, sales only 2,O00 bales at 1-32d advance. New Orleans however, was inclined to do better, opening points up on December, selling as high as S.17, but sold down as low as SIP, gain ing this loss and closing near the high point, 817, to S.18

CROP REPORTS CONFLICTED

New York, August 1S.-Thc market for cotton futures opened quiet and firm with prices to 10 points higher, and during the early part of the session exhibited marked strength following the firmer rul- ing of the Liverpool market than figured upon, a more bullish trend of the "Chron- icle's" review than looked for and con- tinued abnormally light recepits at the in- terior towns and ports. Rumors that southern spot markets were once more hardening on increased export demand added to the general steadiness.
 On the opening rise wire houses, Europe and the South bought the winter months hastily; room traders having profits with in cash reach. sold. As the session pro- gressed, trading dragged somewhat, there being few new orders in evidence.
 The private crop information in hand was too conflicting to warrant a positive stand being made either way. There was no radical change in values following the start, and neither bulls nor bears made concerted effort toward carrying forward in outside speculative circles.
 The markets for futures closed steady with prices net 3 points lower to 10 points higher.

Sheen In Spain.

In Spain there are some 100000 of
migratory sheep, which every year
travel as much as 200 miles from the
plains to the "delectable mountains"
where the shepherds feed them till the
SHOWS descend. These sheep are known
as transhumantes, and their march,
resting places and behavior are regu-
lated by ancient and special laws and
tribunals dating from the fourteenth
century.
At certain times no one is allowed to
travel on the same route as the sheep,
which have right to Craze on all open
and common land on the way and for
which a road 80 yards wide must be
left on all inclosed and private proper
ty. The shepherds lead the flocks, the
sheep follow, and the tlocks are accom-
panied by mules carrying provisions
and large dogs which act as guards
against the wolves. The merino sheep
travel 400 miles to the mountains, and
the total time spent on the migration
there and back is IA weeks.-Spectator

AN ANCIENT RELIEF.

The ancients believed that rheuma-

demoniac enough to warrant the belief.
Tt has never been claimed that Cham

Every fool wants to give advice.
Take the world as it is, not as it

Fond of lawsuits, little wealth; fond

Practical Politics For Infants.

The ingenious educational system
known as the school city was invented
by Wilson L. Gill, to whose efforts is
largely due its success in Omaha, Chi

one occasion a class of urchins was be-
ing taught the mysteries of election
day. One boy was made a Democratic
and a second a Republican inspector,
two were made poll clerks, two watch
ers, two candidates, and so on. When
all the tasks had been assigned, a

and said:
