impression began TO be made In the rail-
road list. Selling for London account
was an additional factor toward depres-
sion. When prices fell back to about
last nights Level, the selling pressure
was relaxed. The bulls then turned their
attention 10 other quarters Of the mar
ket, bidding UP prices actively wherever
any signs of strength showed, in order
to support the market and help on the
realizing. They found the best field for
these operations in the steel and iron
group. Various factors combined to give
strength TO these stocks. The final SCI
tlement of the tip plate wage scale was
a stimulating influence not only in those
stocks, but throughout the group. The
weekly summary of the Iron Age, while
giving due weight to some continuing I'M
favorable conditions, reflected a tone of
confidence over the coming years husi-
ness as a whole, and interviews with in
dividual authorities were of the same
tenor. The Tennessee Coal dividend cpl
sode gave the final FLIP to stocks in this
group. Assertions have been made with
great holiness and have been published
that the dividend on this stock was sure
TO be reduced or even passed at the
meeting today. When the news was pub
ished, therefore, that the regular quar-
terly dividend OF 2 per cent had been
declared a large snort interest was badly
caught and a violent recovery ensued.
The first sale after the announcement
was 6% points over the preceding sale.
The stock ran of Attain but closed with
a net gain of 3s4. Sugar and Peoples
Gas were very feverish all day as a con-
sequence Of the cut in refined sugars ana
the legal steps taken in the gas war
in Chicago. Sugar has a small net gain
and Peoples Gas a small net loss. With
the exception of wide movements in some
of the closely held dormant stocks the
railroads continued sluggish during the
latter part OF the day. The local trac-
ton stocks were strong and showed evil
dence Of manipulation. The whole mar
ket ran off at the close. which was easy
and active. The decision of the directors
OF the Bank of England to leave the
official rate unchanged al per cent was
accepted favorably by the bulls, who ar
gued that it insured imports of gold, but
the sterling exchange market unexpect-
eddy developed a frmer tone and the
rate for demand bills recovered Il. This
is supposed to be due to preparations for
remittance on account of the German
and British loans and also for subscrip-
tons to the Swedish loan, which were
announced yesterday to have been closed
in New York. Cali loan rates also ad-
vanced to per cent today, but fell back
per cent before the close. Tie out
ward movement of currency has more
than offset the items of replenshment
for the money market and a fur her
shrinkage of banking resources is locke
for in the weekly bank statement. Clos
ing prices of stocks were as follows:

Thisoccurenceil ustrates one Of the difficulties
Of deep'boring Other works have been delayed
for many months by somewhat similar accidents
Il often requires great patience and skill to remedy
the trouble thus casually introduced into the
work. When the .artesian we'll was dug at Gren-
ellie. near Paris. a length Of 27O feet Of the boring
rods suddenly broke of and fell 10 the bottom
OF the hole after a depth of I ,254 feet had been
reached II required nearly fifteen months OF con-
slant labor to pick up tho broken parts and not
before they wers removed could the drilling be
resumed.

RILEY GOES TO JAIL.
Lost His COOlnesS When Made
to Answer Three Charges.
For Escaping From Magistrate Jer-
mons Office in Philadelphia, He
Was Held in $1,000. Which
Together With the Bail on
II Two other Charges
Made $4,000.

Alfred +. Riley alias Thatcher who
was arrested here last week By Sergeant
Bayley, having coolly walked out Of
Magistrate Jerome's office iii philadel-
phia on Saturday, August II, was yes
terday committed to Moyamensing under
heavy bail. There he will be kept until
summoned 10 stand for trial.
Riley had been arrested at the in
stance Of his wife, Mrs. Ada L. Riley,
who claimed that Riley had deserted
her aud her seven children at Columbus,
o., and had afterwards married another
woman at Coned Island.
1t was Saturday the 11th instant,
that Riley was to have a hearing before
Magistrate jerome. While the latter
was disp0sing of a few minor cases
Riley arose from his seat and passed out
Of the office. On his way down the
stairs he passed his reputed wife. whom
he saluted by politely raising his hat
aud saying, Good morning. Ada
This was the last seen Of him nutil he
was taken into custody III Wilmington.

These two charges depressed Riley,
and he yisibly trembled, not knowing
what was next to come.
He was not kept long waiting One

| And for escaping from this office,'
said the Court, Il will hold you in 81, 900
more Have you bail! Just $1,000 in

Riley had no bail, and he was prompt
