Of 1t. but there was large selling at The
opening filing up the demand of all
sorts and made a dull rather than ac-
tive day of it finally. Selling was by
Cudahy and commission houses. There
was some support by Patten and Com

no outside buying. The cash demand
continues slow. Primary receipts were

Oats-Have been quiet at about

firmed up by a moderate demand from

ceipts 154 oi,rs, with 105 for to-mor-

eminent crop report suggests a crop of
5S2 Con. 0e0 bushels.
Wheat-The bullish government re-
port opened wheat somewhat firmer,
but there were more sellers than buy
ers at the advance. The government
report is so radically different from re-
ports of the most conservative crop
henorters that it lacks the confidence OF
traders. The selling to-day has been
mostly for long account. There is lit
tie effort to depresS prices but large re-
ceipts and a very Indifferent cash de-
mand cause offerings against cash
grain that is in excess OF the way of
speculative buyers for the time being.
The close was dull.
Provisions-Opened steady and after
wards ruled weak and shade lower on
free selling by the longs of October
ribs and lard and selling of January
product by the packers. Cash demand
is fairly good. The decline in corn also
helped to depress provisions. Market
closed easy. $4,000 hogs tomorrow.

NEW YORK, Sept. il. $40 p. NJ
Too much Importance was attached
abroad to the dressing of one of the
Presidents wounds yesterday afternoon,
and partly for this reason London
prices anne lower this morning. Ar
bitrage houses were sellers on balance
of about 10000 shares. This selling,
with that by room traders and commits
sion houses, caused recessions in the
early market. The tone gradually
strengthened, however, and by midday
stocks were generally higher than yes
terday's close lead bv st. Paul and the
Steel stocks. In the afternoon liquida-
ton set in and the whole list yielded
on reports that the Presidents condi-
ton was not so favorable. These re-
ports could not be traced to any au-
thority and lacked any shadow of con-
firmation. 1t is much more likely that
the reaction was due to profit taking
as stocks have had a good, tempting
rise from the low prices on Saturday
and a check to the upward movement
was only a logical result. The recent
weakness of Republic Steel was ex-
planned after the publication OF annual
report which showed That surplus has
been arawn on to the extent of over ST.
600, 000 to pay dividend on the pre-
ferred stock.
Definite information as to the s..
Paul dividend is unobtainable. The di-
rectors meet at 2 p. m. tomorrow af-
ternoon. Money ranged 4 to AZ. De-

st. Paul's comparative heaviness dur
ing the afternoon influenced a dull and
easy tone throughout the list and the
close was weak. The junior Wander
bilts were exceptions. but even they
ended the day considerably under the
best. Speculation on the st Paul diyi-
dend to be declared tomorrow is very
active, and the action of the stock this
afternoon was thought to Indicate no
change in the rate. Moreover the Street
feels that the price already has dis
counted any possible increase. Money
remained easy, as was to be expected.

We have very little TO offer this week
in the way or changed market conditions.
Prices are very steady all along the line,
and no unusual feature presents itself.
Demand in many commodities does not
equal the supply. and In the retail mar
kets much stuff in the way of fruit and
vegetables remains unsold and is either
disposed OF to commission houses or taken
back to the farm. Some grades of hogs
are a shade SITTER. and eggs are n cent
caused by short supply. Melons
cheaper for lower grades and small
and tomatoes up somewhat. Apples
are also higher.

m.-The stock market to-day moved
within comparatively narrow limits.
The announcement that a trihing
operation had been performed on the
President was taken more seriously
than the facts warranted and lower
prices from London were cabled to
this side. The market here followed
the tone of the London exchange and
opened at declines, which, however.
were soon recovered on a better under
standing of the Presidents condition,
which is pronounced by his physicians
to be extremely hopeful.
- The government crop report as to the
condition of orr and wheat had little
influence on stock values. Both GER
calls declined ON Chicago market in
spite of this report which cannot be
considered as favorable. The money
question entered less as a factor into
the speculative movement during the
days session. In fact, the market TO-
day had all the earmarks OF a profess
sional one.
The greatest activity was displayed
by ST. Paul, which moved within a
radius of about 3 per cent, on con-
ficting ideas as to the increase of the
dividend at to-morrow's meeting.
The fluctuations in St. Paul were
effective in producing sympathetic
movements throughout the list In the

RICHEST SCHOOL IN WORLD.
Mrs. Stanford Executes Deeds of Grant and Gift to the California
University Named for Her SOn-Tota Donation
Amounts to Over SIS 100000.

n AN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-Mrs.
y Jane L. Stanford today executed
and delivered to the board of
trustees of the Leland Stanford, jr,
two deeds Of grant and one
deed of gift. One of the deeds of grant
covers all of the real estate heretofore
given to the university, including the
university campus of about 5000 acres.
The other deed of grant covers the
Stanford residence upon California
street, which is eventually to be used
for educational purposes. The deed of
gift covers bonds and stocks heretofore
given, and certain securities not in
cluded in former grants.
The grants are largely cOnfirmatOry in
character, and are made under the
provisions of the Stanford university
constitutional amendment, which leg
allied grants and gifts made to the
university. This amendment was
adopted in order 10 set at rest any
question as to the validity of the orig
inal endowment, and to prevent legal
technicalities from interfering with flu
ture donations to this great educational
Institution, which was founded by Mr.
and Mrs Stanford as a memorial to
their only son.
The deeds delivered today practically
cover the grants made in the original
endowment, which, however, is more
than doubled in value. owing to the
remarkable business ability displayed

Carnegie. in which the latter offers to
make a donation of S1OOOO,OOG TO the
United tates. The letter viii be re-
ferred to congress by the president in
a special message.
Mr.. Carnegie's gift is for the purpose
Of establishing in Washington q uni
versity for higher education. As far
as his idea has been developed it pro-
poses a gift after the manner of the
bequest of James SmithsOn, the Eng
lishman who gave $1,000, 900 for the es-
adjustment and maintenance of what
Is now known as the Smithsonian in
situation. Smithson desired the insti-
tuition founded by him to be a factor
in the diffusion of scientific knOwl

Nr- Carnegie proposes that the uni
versity which he is TO endoW shall be
the greatest institution in the world
Tor the development of higher educa-
ton he has consulted President Gill

President Hadley of Yale. President
Eliot of HarV ard, eX-President White
of Cornell and all the leading edu-
Gators of the country, They heartily

by Mrs. Stanford in the management OF
the vast interests left in her charge
by the death of her husband.
By these grants she has conveyed to
the Leland Stanford, jr., university, for
the benefit Of the people of California,
about S18,000,000 in stocks and bonds,
and SlO,000,0 600 to S12,0OOO00 in real es-
tate, including the university buildings
and equipment. All of the bonds are
first mortgages, and the stocks, with
scarcely an exception, are what are
known as gilt-edge securities.
F. +. Lieb of San Jose, president of
the board of trustees. received the
deeds on behalf of the board. and also
took formal possession Of the bonds and
other personal property. Messrs.
Charles G. LathrOp, Joseph D. Grant
and Timothy Hopkins, resident trus-
tees, were also present. The legal fea-
lures of the donation were conducted
by Mrs. Stanford S attorneys, CrOthers
& CrOthers.
Notwithstanding that she has now
given the equivalent Of over $4,000. 600
to the Leland Stanford, ir., university,
making it one Of the richest Institutions
Of the kind in the world. Mrs. STAN
ford has not impoverished herself. but
is understood to still retain several
millions for her personal use, and TO
provide for the various members of
her family. 1t is believed that the
amount of her endowment to the uni
versity which she aided in founding ex-
ceeds in amount any similar gift in his

CARNEGIE WILL GIVE SlOOOOOOO
FOR GREAT NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Mr. Carnegie also wants the new
university to take the lead IN original
research. so that the United States
,,an eventually stand side by side with
Germany, If not excel that nation, in
scientific development
Mr. Carnegie's plan does not pro-
pose national university in the sense
that an appropriation viii be asked or
needed. The government is simply to
be the trustee Of the magnificent en-
dOWment, just as it administers the
fund bequeathed by SntthsOn. 1t is
probable that a board of regents will
be appointed, as in the case of the
Smithsonian institution, or it may be
that the government viii be repre-
scented upon the board Of directors,
which, it is contemplated, shall con-
sist of men Of national reputation.
Mr. Carnegie mas kept the proposed
endowment a secret until he could def
initely arrange the plan and scope Of
the new university and even yet all
Ihesp details have not been arranged,
so that little more than the outline of
his gift can be published.
1t is known, however that ne does
not propose to ask from congress a
single foot of land upon which the
university buildings viii be construct
ed The entire expense is to be borne
out OF his endowment. No site has
yet been selected. 1t will however,
necessarily be very large, as it is pro-
posed to erect a series Of magnificent
structures.
The amount of money to be given
by Mr.. Carnegie equals the sum of the
present endowment fund Of Harvard
and is considerably more than the in
vested fund OF Yale.
