NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

NEW YORK, August 1S.-Business
to-day was on a small scale but there
was a wider distribution of the deal
ings. Strength was shown in many i'm
portant stocks, but the general move
ment continued irregular. The open
ing was higher on a resumption of yes
terday's strength and the good tone of
the London market. The fortnightly
settlement abroad was arranged salts
f~actorily and ar%bitrage houses bought
more literally here than for some days.
First prices were not long maintained
as traders realaxed. but when a demand
arose for the eastern trunk lines and
bituminons coal road stocks. the en-
tire market rallied sharply.
But little interest was manifested In
the United States steel stocks and they
moved quite generally independent of
other stocks. An early rise Of " and
Is respectively in the common and pre-
ferred were followed by a gradual de-
cline and they ended only H@kc
higher.
The bond market was quiet and firm.
Total sales par value 1860. 900. -
T.. S. bonds were all unchanged on
the last call.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, August 13.-Lower cables
in face of the strength exhibited here
yesterday rather upset the calculations
of the bulls in the wheat pit to-day and
the result was that the market was
somewhat nervous September wheat
closed a shade lower. September corr
closed &c lower: oats were &c higher
and provisions ranged from a shade to
l2Ise higher al the close.
Quietness prevailed at the opening In
the wheat pit and prices were lower.
Fluctuations during the day were with
in a narrow limit, and there were no
features of interest to the trade. Sep
TENDER opened %6@e lower at 7sAe
to 73ssc. On covering September adj
vaneed to 73Ac but declined again to
73Mc on selling by local longs. The
close was a shade lower at 73S@73Ae.
Primary receipts were 963 900 buxhe.s,
against 1.075, 900 bushels last year. Sea-
board elearances were equal TO ,b53 900
bushels, receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth were reported as 262 cars, COM
pared with 1877 cars last week and 309
a year ago. Local receipts were 405
cars. with 81 ears OF contract grade.
Conflicting reports as to the damage
done to the corn crop by the recent
drouth were reflected somewhat In the
attitude taken by local bulls, who were
inclined to get rid of their holdings.
Trade. however, was small and prices
were a shade lower at the opening, In
sympathy with wheat and on increased
receipts. September opened a shade to
h8me lower at 59MQe0e. On cover
ing and outside buying the price adj
vaneed to 60Ac but on selling by COM
mission houses there was a decline to
59Ae and the close was firm and hc
lower at SON 959Re. There was a no
tlceable Improvement In cash demand,
sales OF 800, 900 bushels being reported
for shipment here. Receipts were 1863
cars, with two of contract grade.
Oats opened lower in sympathy with
other grains. Trading was within a
narrow range. Prices were relatively
firmer than on other grains, but the
market lacked any noticeable feature.
September sold between 36hc and $3.50,
closing with a gain of hc, at the high
point. Local receipts were COS cars.
Provisions opened steady and trading
was moderately active. September pork
ranged between $13 9TH and $14 27h,
closing 12hc higher at $14 20; lard sold
between IS 72h0S rs and So 7h@8 so,
closing a shade higher at the top. Ribs
closed Zoe higher at So 05. after selling
between 81 9Ods 05.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 1856 cars: corn, 70 cars; oats,
220 cars; hogs, $1,000 head.

THE CLOSING OF THE MARKET.

Special to White G White.
NEW YORK. August 1S.-With the
market still altogether In the hands of
traders and they doing hardly anyth-
ing. the morning was ~featureless
and embarrassing. The higher range
of prices In London influenced a strong
opening but the advances have since
been considerably shad6l.
We fail to see hew the pools and
syndicates. which still have heavy lines
OF stocks to distribute. can stimulate
sufficient demand for securities at pre-
vailing prices. even though the steel
strike should presently show signs OF
collapse, as we are hearing on every
side it will do shortly. The crop dam
age is both real and extensive and is
bound to make a difference with the
railroads. The fact that the Northwest
roads maintained earnings last year in
spite of a shortage in spring wheat does
not mean much in relation to the pres
ent situation. since that shortage was
less than 100 coo. 900 bushels. while the
indicated shortage OF. the corn crop is
something likely $500. 0oo, GOO. by far
too large a volume not to interfere ser
iously with traffic returns later on
There is 1t present a borrowing de-
mand for thirty thousand shares of
sugar. Each party that sells 5000
shares borrows IL. We do not think IL
is short stock but some one is trying
to give it that appearance. Ii evident
ly all came from same source and no
one is fool enough to sell that amount
short in such a narrow market.
The strength in st. Paul on the re-
newal of the report OF an increase be-
ing likely in the dividend. was the fea-
ture OF the trading this afternoon.
Other granger stocks benefited sym
pathetieally and the general market re-
manned strong and closed near the best
prices of the day. The steel stocks
we're less prominent in the rise than
for several days. Strikers were report
ed to have won a point to-day by in
dueing some of the skilled workmen of
one of the Carnegie plants to join them,
showing hat the fight is by no means
over. The character OF the trading did
not undergo much, IL any, change still
being dominated by the professional
element.

NEW YORK. August 13.@To-day's
market showed considerable more ami
nation than was displayed during the
session yesterday and the increase of
activity brought higher prices as indi-
Gated in our letter of yesterday.
Both the industrials as well as the
r~ailroaod list seemed to work in a uni
form manner, all of them showing a
good strength and a steady absorption.
There was very few features in the
market that were worth mentioning.
St might. however. be cited that Can
adlan Pacific on account of its earnings
and the bountiful wheat crop in it's dis
trict was one of the market leaders and
gained more than three points on the
day. Closely following Canadian Pa
cifc was New York Central and other
yanderbilts.
The market maintained the strength
until the close Of the session. losing
only trifing fractions from the high
prices made.
The money market remains unrufi-
ed and railroad earnings continue Gerry
favorable. The decline in the corn
options indicates that the crop damage
is not as severe as first thought of and
as regards the steel strike, the situa-
ton remains practically unchanged
with indications that the strike will
soon be broken.

The Bad Town Of William Penn.
From Springfield Republican. ]

Twenty-seven highly respected citi-
zens of Philadelphia have written to
Bishop Potter of New York inviting
him to inaugurate crusade in their
town against vice, crime and political
corruption. The Bishop will do it.
The Philadelphians make such Sc
we're charges concerning present NUM-
cipal conditions in the Quaker city
that New York cannot be regarded
as much the worse of the two. They
assert
That the condition of Philadelphia
today lis hardly surpassed by New
York in the worst days of Tweed"
That offices are filled with tools of
the political machine instead of capa-
BILE servants of the people," while
crime is rampant and vice is given pro-
lection by those in power.
That terrorism, unsurpassed in the
darkest days of political outrages in
the South prevailed in many districts
at our late election. AS many as 400
police officers and 40 detectives were
massed in a single ward to prevent a
free expression of the popular will
and to carry the election for candi-
dates dictated and favored by the ad-
ministration. Legal electors were pre-
vented from voting, fraudulent voters
and repeaters were encouraged, assist
ed and protected from arrest Such
carnival of crime has probably never
been equaled in our political history"
That this appalling situation is
made all the more aggravating be-
cause with us the offenders are mask
ed as Republicans
That these charges are not made
recklessly is evidnt from the fact that
prominent among the signers is t.
name of George f. EdmuHIs, former
senator from Vermont.
There is a great sanitary work 70
be done in Republican Philadelphia,
yet how can the good bishop be
spared from Democratic New York?

also difficult TO see any immense in

looks at this distance as if Chambers
irascibility, his indulgence in sarcasms
and scathing criticisms and his policy
of riding rough shod over every one

caused a waning in his popularity, to
say nothing of his ardent espousal Of

Spectrum Analysis.

In scientific language the spectrum
of any celestial body is a colored
band, produced by allowing its rays
to pass through a prism. A prism
used for this purpose is called a spec
troscOpe. Newton examined the col
ors of the solar spectrum very care
fully. and explained its rainbow hues
on the theory that light OF different
colors has different refrangibilities,
or, as we now say. different wave
lengths. But it was not till 1902 that
DR. WollastOn made the discovery that
the solar spectrum, when closely eX-
amined. is crossed by numerous
black lines of various thicknesses, and
at irregular distances from one
another. Not till 1860, however, did
a German physicist, Kirchoff, come
with an explanation of these phe-
nomena. Briefly he found that the
spectra of various chemical ele-
ments, when heated to incandesence,
were crossed by black lines, and that
the number and character of the lines,
varied with each element. From
the number and character of the lines,
therefore, in solar or stellular spectra,
it is possible to determine the ele-
ments of which the sun or stars are
composed. In point of fact the spec
trum has revealed a general identity
of structure in all heavenly bodies,
with sufficient incidental unlikenesses,
however, between suns, stars and
nebulae to enable us to differentiate
each from the other with a certainty
that even a telescope could not
achieve. Not only this, but even the
direction of a stars motion. i. e.,
whether it is receding from or ap-
preaching our system, is revealed by
the same agency, even where the star
itself is visible.

Another Murder Mystery in New York

A trunk which had been dropped
near pier II, East river, New York
city, was opened Wednesday forenoon
by Patrolman Reilly, who found within
the mutilated body of a man, with the
knees doubled up. The throat had
been cut, there were a number of
gashes on the body and head, and three
of the victims front teeth had been
knocked out. The hat and shoes
were missing, but the overcoat, coat
and vest, which had been removed,
were laid in the trunk From papers
in one of the coat pockets the police
found the name of a woman who iden-
titled the body as that of Mayer Weis-
bard, Jew who sold jewelry on the in
stallment plan. It is thought that
Wesbard was murdered in one of the
tenement houses Tuesday, the object
being robbery, as it is known that he
carried jewelry to the value of 5000
when he began work Tuesday morn
ing. He was a married man with a
large family. The woman who identi,
fed the body was one of his customers.
The police think the trunk was brought
to the dock in the night, and that it
was the intention of those who carried
it to throw it into the water, but that
they were frightened away.

any wreck or vessel in distress. or
making a long passage, to Lloyd's

Grangers Got Gay.
LFrom dc BurIington News. !

From the Burlington News
The spectacle of staid old farmers
at a dairyman's banquet seiZing the
waiter girls and covering them with
five dollar and other bank notes is
such an unusual one that the scene
at the Van Ness House, at the ban
quet of the Vermont Dairyman's assO-
citation on Wednesday evening, has
caused good deal of comment. One
lively girl, it is said, pleased the gay
and reckless grangers so much that
she left the room $l2 richer than when
she came. 1t is also said the reckless
farmers actually lifted the girls to the
