REPUBLIC

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, Aug. 26.-The London market
was irregular and rather inclined to sag
in the early trading, but later considerable
strength developed in the steel stocks on
the better strike news. an this had the
effect of advancing the whole American
list. which closed near the best OF the day
with a substantial gain. The general mar
ket was firm and consols strong at s4si, n
further advance of Il per cent. Money was
easy in the open discount market in Lon
don, and there is a strong belief that the
Bank of England will reduce its rate next
Thursday.
The fortnightly settlement commences to-
morrow, and, in all reasonable probability,
Will pass of without a hitch. In the local
market there was a good deal of profit-tak-
ing by traders and pools, but 1t was learned
that the big interests expected n further ad-
vance before the present move eliminated,
as they were buying stocks. Commission
house business was also very fair and con-
:inced to show Improvement.
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific both
advanced on buying Of a strong II rather
manipulated character. and Pennsylvania
was put up to give substantial lead to the
soft coalers. Effort seemed to be directed
principally to broadening the character Of
the market through increase of public ousi-
ness.
Norfolk and Western advanced on buying
of a rather mixed character. but in spite
OF profit-taking seemed to have strong
support behind II. The strike news was
good and the probability grows daily that
the men themselves will take the settle
ment out of the hands Of the leaders.
For the present. the market has ignored
the rise in cotton, and the accepted street
view is that the damage is Largely confined
to Texas. The crop. of course. will be small
er, but 1t will not affect roads like the
Southern Railway and Louisville. Later es-
Inmates on the corn crop are more favorable.
and the best idea is that the Government
crop report on September 10 will show a
yield of 1,4c0.00.0N bushels. This is con-
siderably better than the worst. although, Of
course. ii would be foolish to ignore the
large losses involved. The wheat crop pros
pects, on the other hand. are excellent. and
the street at present considers that the loss
in corn has been discounted.
The close was appreciably lower in all de-
partments on the belief that the large ope
orators had taken profits, and commission
houses realizing on stock bought early last
week st. Paul was weak and irregular

Washington, Aug. CA scientific party
Including several OF the icthyologLsts of the
United States Fish Commission, has just
returned from a trip to the Hawaiian

has been examining into the Ishing indus
try of that locality.
This party was organized under authority
granted by Congress. which passed a law
creating II, in order that Jmmendation
might be submitted designed To secure the
enactment OF legislation for the protection
of fish ard fisheries in Hawaii. The inves-
LEGATIONS of the party proved very fruitful.
both In the matter of benefit to the science
OF icthyology and the protection OF species
OF fish which are fast becoming depleted.
Inc expedition was made by Doctor Bar

Goldsborough of the Fish Commission and
other scientists.
Speaking of the trip, Doctor Eyerman
said to-day.
This expedition was of great benefit to
the science OF fish and the fisheries. During
our trip We found and examined some 800
species Of native Hawaiian fishes. All of
them are Indigenous to that section OF the
world and we found fully sevcnty-five spe-
cicS which were unknown to our science be-
fore the investigations were made.

In this connection IT Is interesting 70
note that the Hawaiian alphabet consists

means a certain thing. but when il is re-
peated as II Is in the case of the name
