THE STOCK MARKET.
Broader and More Active Than Yester-
 day.

New York, Aug 20.-The stock market was somewhat broader and more actlye to- day, but there was still no evidence or any large participation in the market py 'osll the The position of the United States steel stocks and the doubtful outlook Tor the Ia. Dor situation are still drag on the general market. The supporters of the steel stocks are Inclined to take profits upon any ad- vance in price, and they bid up the prices when anything like m outside demand de. velops Under these artificial conditions theirr movements have little significance The general list showed disposition to-day to ignore the steel stocks.
 The railroads concerned ill the Northern Pacific settlement and others allied by iden' tical ownership or otherwise resumed the leadership of the market to-day This may have been based upon published report or a prolonged conference yesterday at Bar Harbor between the three financiers who conducted the Northern Pacific contest and its settlement. The Morgan and Hartman roads were generally affected in sympathy including Illinois Central. Chicago and Al ton, Southern Railway and Chicago, lndi- anapolis and Louisville.
 The anthracite carriers manifested some strength, and the bituminous coal carriers made gains, although Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio suffered from proft-taking. A sharp decrease In earnings of Norfolk and Western for the second week in August seemed to emphasize this dlspo. sitlon. Some large individual blocks of Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and St. Paul were taken in the last hour and those stocks rose 1Aa1M over last night.
 The stock market continued to show sen sitiyeness to developments In the money and exchange market sharp recovery Ill sterling this morning led to some reaction from the opening strength in stocks. small CT offerings of wheat bills were largely off set by large receipts of Australian gold at San Francisco. The sub treasury's debit balance at the clearing house of S1,S52; ;So2 was caused by receipt of checks against gold on the Pacific coast to the amount of $1,400,000. A further shipment of S2,oO0,oGo Is on the way to San Francisco from Syd ney.
 This makes 1t evident that the London market will find a way to meet its gold oh, ligations to New York without stress and possibly without actual shipments of gold: It is to be noted. however. that United States treasury operations continue to drain the money market, the governments sur. plus thus far this month having reached $1.554, ,021. while for the corresponding peri cd of last year the governments fiscal op erations showed a deficit of $4.3Sl ,5G3 The stock market closed rather heavy under the influence of profit taking on the days rise. :.
 Railroad bonds continued very dull and with no movement of signifcance. The total sales par value aggregated S1,145,O ,O0O.

Wm. c. Whitney, Wu Ting Fang (the Chinese Minister), Thos. D. Reilly. Robt. A. Tucker, Frank H. Quinby, and host of others.
 The New Amsterdam Oil Company has already sold 1000 shares of it's stock at $1.oo per share, with which money 1oo acres of rich oil land in Ventura County, Cal ifornia, a complete outfit to drill one well was bought, and said we'll is being now bored.

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT

In Bob Taylor's latest, and said to
be his best lecture, Sentiment, he
thus describes a sun rise;
81 saw the morning with purple
culver and FURNISHED bow stand tip
toe on the horizon and shoot sun
beams at the vanishing night, and
then reach up and gather the stars
and hide them in her bosom, and
bend down and tickle the slumbering
world with straws of hight until 1t
awoke with laughter and song,
ga thousand bugle calls from the
rosy east heralded her coming; a
thousand smiling meadows kissed
her garments as she passed; 100000
laughing gardens unfurIed their flow
cry flags to her. The heart of the
deep forests throbbed a tribute of bird
song, and the bright waters rippled a
melody of welcome. Youth and love
radiant with Joy came hand in hand,
tripping and dancing in her shining
train, and I wished the heaven of
morning might last forever"

WHY MANY YOUNG MEN FAIL

One trouble with many young men
who go out in business is, they try to
do too many things at once. The re-
suit is that they don't know as much
az they ought to about any one thing,
and they naturally fall. The trouble
with young men who work on salaries
is that they are always afraid of doing
more than they are paid for. They
don't enter into their work with the
right spirit. To get on and be appre-
GATED a young man must do more
than he is paid for. When he does
something his employer has not
thought of he shows that he is valua-
BILE. Men are always willing to pay
good salaries to people who will think
for them. The man who only carries
out the thoughts and ideas of another
is nothing more than tool. Men
who can be relied upon are always in
demand. The scarcest thing in the
world to-day is thoroughly reliable
man.

SPLENDID STATEsFAIR EDITION

Editor Stovall, the brilliant, genial
and talented newspaper magnate Of
south Georgia, has given a splendid
impetus to the State Far in his most
excellent paper, the Savannah Press of
March 2Sth.
This edition of twenty-four pages
tells wonderful story of the CONNER
ciaI progress which has come to historic
Savannah and south Georgia IN the
last few years, and no one is more cap
able of embelllshing these solid facts
than the brilliant Stovall, and none has
done more to bring about this happy
and prosperous condition.
This special edition was gotten out to
advertise the State Fair, which is to be
held in Savannah in October, and is a
splendid one in every particular. refec-
ting great credit upon the we'll equip
ped office of the Press as we'll as its
able reportorlal and editorial staff

The Board of Trade of Brunswick
has called ''Cassava and Sugar Cane
Convention, to be held in that city on
April g. The name of the meeting in
dlcates its purpose The pine lands of
South Georgia and Florida are being
rapidly denuded of their trees. What
shall be done with the lands when the
forests are gone The Brunswick
Board of Trade thinks that thousands
of acres could, with profit, be devoted
to cassava and sugar cane. To get
business men, farmers and landowners
interested in the matter is the purpose
of the convention The meeting ought
to be largely attended. The question
of making the best use of our lands is
one of very great interest.

VALUE OF A GOOD PAPER.

The Valdosta Times says that every
town should recognize the fact that one
good paper does more for it than three
or four smaller publications.
The best advertisement town can
have is frst-class, wide-awake news
paper. 1t lets the people abroad know
what the resources of the city are.
In the average town there is only
room for one good newspaper, and its
value can scarcely be estimated. This
is the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth.-Rome Tribune.

There is no accounting for the fads of
mlllionaires. Mr.. Carnegie's fancy
runs to public libraries. Mr.. Whit
ney's to horses, Mr.. Vanderbilt's to
yachts, and so on. Pierpont Nor
gan's fad, it seems, is historic antique
furniture. A Paris cable say he has
just bought through Wertheimer-the
same man who is suing little Boni
CasteIlane-a dressing case with two
sliding drawers for $4,000. The
piece is said to be rather ordinary look
ing, but it is dated 1907 and signed
with the name of fashionable maker
of that period It's supposed to have
belonged to the Orleans family.

CHINA WILL FINALLY YIELD
The Demands of Russia Will Be
Conceded.

ST.. PETERSBURG, April 9.-The SUI
perior councillor OF the Chinese lega-
ton, Chu We Jte, is continuing the ne
gotiations. as charge d'atfaires, regard
ing the Manchurian agreement. The
illness of the Chinese minister, Yang
Yu, is now admitted to be due to apo
plexy, which will incapacitate him from
work, probably for long period. 1t is
said the loss of half his estate through
the destruction of a Chinese bank, COM
bined with political cares, is undermin-
ing his health.
Unofficial observers scarcely under
stand how doubt can possibly be en-
tertained abroad that China will ulti-
mately accep5 the Russian conditions,
after it IS apparent that no power is
willing to forcibly support China.

Slump In Steel Rails Trade.

LONDON, April 2. To-day, at meet
ing of the Barrow Haematite Steel COM
pany,. the Duke of Devonshire, the lord
president of the council, took a pessi-
mistic view of the American and other
foreign competition. He said the total
orders for rails given to British makers
in 1900 had not reached 90 per cent. of
the orders given during the preceding
four years. Competition did not &C.
count for the whole decrease. Either
less rails were required or buyers were
waiting in expectation of lower prices

Mr.. Pierpont Morgan's blllion-dollar
steel trust will have to put up a pretty
penny before it can do business in the

tions, before obtaining license to do
business in the state, shall pay to the
Secretary of State $45 for the first So, :
