our advance of yesterday, being sd lower.
The cash demand was a little better, $50,
O0U bushels sold to go East and eleven
loads at the seabOard.
Oats have been very dull with light
trade. They Were easy shortly after the
opening on the decline in corn. but raj
lied and closed unchanged on the strength
in wheat and the sales of 10000 bushels
for shipment.
There was another sharp break in pro-
visions, led by lard on selling, part of
which was credited to the prominent
longs. The 20c decline in the hog market
influenced some miscellaneous selling.
Most of the demand came from shorts,
though late in the day packers sup
ported October ribs and the deferred de-
liveries of lard. causing some reaction
and a steady close. The cash trade was
slow.

The Atchison directors will meet today
and il is understood that they Will take
up the question of the sem-annual divi-
dend on the common stock. At first the
report that the dividend was to be in
creased was not credited in the street for
the very good reason that although the
earnings of the company have been su-
perb almost beyond belief its prosperity
is a new growth and the common stock
has only been put on the dividend list
within a year. The fact that the corn
crop has been damaged has also been con-
sidered likely to deter the directors from
making any increase. although the Off
GERS of the company believe that the earn
ings this year will be quite as good as
they were a year ago. The statements re-
garding the probable increase came SO
directly from good authorities yesterday
that despite all these facts there seems
every reason TO believe that they are true.
One director of the company is alleged to
say that a per cent rate of dividend
would be extremely conservative and that
per cent rate would be conservative. y

| 1t need not be disputed that the COM
pany on its showing for last year is quite
as able to pay per cent as most COM
panies are able 20 pay the dividends now
established. AS a matter of fact, with
liberal expenditures. the earnings last
year were full per cent, and a large
amount went over for surplus. The ques-
tion as to what will be the effect of an
increase in the dividend rate If it is made
is attracting much attention. The pessi-
mists naturally predict that it will be
followed by liquidation in the stock by
the insiders. and that there will be no
investment buying. on the other hand
there are many that point TO big differ
ence between the price of Atchison COM
mon and Union Pacific common, which is
a 4 per cent stock, and to number of
other issues receiving the same rate of
dividends. The Atchison securities were
both strong yesterday. the common get
ting at one time to IT1z and the preferred
to 955s The common went off badly to
16 before the close, but still showed a net
gain for the day The preferred lost lit
tie OF its gain.

Brooklyn Rapid Transit was especially
strong all day in the face of the poor
statement of the company for August
and for the first two months of the new
fiscal year. This seemed to confirm the
theory that the knowledge of the poor
report was the chief cause Of the selling
of the stock by insiders recently. and
that its publication would be followed
by a good recovery. The figures of the
report show in brief that the company
had decrease of net earnings of S20,G00
for the month of August and of $i9. go
for the two months Of the new year. The
stock opened at 5G24 and advanced to
5S7s. declining to 575s at the close. The

The building, which will contain the

penetrate the shutters.
There will be maintained in this
building a standard OF all measures

other things the new department.
will establish standard electric cell

WONDERFUL ICE CAVES.
One of Them Near Flagstaff, Arizona,
Supplying Ice for Sum-
mer Use.

Several years ago man who was
wandering over the lava fields in the
pine woods, nine miles from Flagstaff,
discovered narrow slit in the lava
which appeared to lead into lateral
and much larger opening. The SHIT
was wide enough for a man TO squeeze
his way into it. At the bottom, about
20 feet from the surface, a low cham
Der opened on one side which was
found to extend about 800 feet. At the
further enc the roof was high enough
for man to stand erect. 1t was in
the month of August; large bank OF
ice was heaped against the farther
wall. but the rest of the cavern
seemed to be dry.
In the following March the cave was
visited again and found to be as full
of ice as il could hold. II is now a
source of ice supply for the hot months
of summer. says the New York Sun.
The ice melts away as the summer adj
vauces. but early in the season there is
a large amount, most of which is now
utilized. The ice il split into large
pieces, hauled to the surface with
block and tackle and carried away by
the CARLOAD.
In this hollow under the ground the
cold air settles in the winter months,
producing temperatures below the
freezing point. There are times dur
ing the winter when good deal of wa
ter runs into the cave. This is frozen
solid and as water continues to flow
the cave is completely filed with ice.

COLONIAL SABBATH LAWS.
None More HiGidiy Enforced Than
the Regulations Regarding
That Day.

4 narration of the laws relating TO
the Sabbath and the prosecutions due
TO them would fill huge volume and
make interesting reading. The rigid
Puritan observance of the Lords day
had its origin with the PuritanS of old
England aud reached its fullest devel-
opment in Puritan New England, says
Donahoe's Magazine.
None of the laws were more rigidly
enforced than those intended to pre-
vent the "prophaning of the Lords
day." The old records are fun of con
yictions for violation OF them. Capt.
Kimble. of Boston, was in 1856 set for
two hours in the public stocks for his
"lewed and unseemly conduct" which
consisted in kissing his wife publicly
on the Sabbath day upon the doorstep
of his house, when he had Just re-
turned from a voyHge after an alb
sence of three years The story is
told of Robert Pike, of Amesbury,
that. having to go on journey he
waited patiently until the sun sank
behind the western clouds on Sunday
evening, and then mounted his horse;
but he had only gone Il short distance
when the last ray CLEANED through a
break in the clouds. and the next day
he was brought before the court and

JAMS Not On 10 Western WAYS
