stock exchange and the consolidated
exchange closed to-day, and with prac-
tically nothing doing on the curb, =
Wall street was very quiet. Although
the exchanges were not open FOR bust
ness, all of the larger brokerage
houses had their clerks at work
strengthening out the accounts of-spec-
ulators and putting their books in or
der. In the rush days from Monday to
Friday none of the usual making out
of customers statements was done, and
it probably will be late tomorrow night
before the balancing of accounts will
be finished.
Many SPECTATORS wentsdcwn town to
await the bank statement and to get
the London quotations for American
securities. At 2 p. m. London prices
generally showed advances as compared
with the close at New York yesterday,
the extreme rise being is points in
Northern Pacific. Other stocks gener-
ally were up, but United States Steel

All interest in the financial world re-
mains absorbed in the great contest for
the control of Northern Pacific, and
the rivalries that have been caused by
that battle. The heavy buying In
Union Pacific yesterday provoked much
comment, and to-day the street was
wondering whether the fight of the rail-
way giants was to be transferred to
that stock again. The high price for
Northern Pacific in London to-day was
taken by many as an indication that
buying for control of the property was
still going on wherever the seller had
the stock to deliver. 1t was learned
to-day, also, that at the time Kuhn,
loeb & Co. were settling with shorts
yesterday at $3.50 share, they were
paying the same price over the counter
to all who offered the securities for
instant delivery.
Otto Kuhn, member of the firm of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., would say little
about the attack made on the Hartman
faction by James ]. Hill.
1.-THE man who talks" said Mr.. Kuhn,
evidently feels that he wants to. The
man who doesn't talk is stronger, and
don't have to. l believe the Hartman
faction is in control of the Northern
Pacific Most of the shorts have set
tied with us at $50, and there are only
a few stragglers left. l am really very
sorry for Thursdays crash. 1t was
nothing we could help, and we are not
elated over it. In any event, whoever
is in control, the arrangements for ac-
quiring the Burlington road will go
through.
Look out for storms in London on
the 18th and 18th, which is settlement
day. The people in London have sold
calls in Northern Pacific, and / think
the situation there will be as it was
here last Thursday. 1t is my hope
London settlement will be made at $780,"

Dry Goods Unchanued.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Journal
OF Commerce says and quotes:
The weather has again been an unfav-
orabie feature to-day and the lateness
of spring is becoming a serious factor
In the situation. This weeks reports
from local and out of town distributors
show that the stimulus given to ousi-
ness by the few fine days last week has
been more or less checked lately by the
return of unreasonable conditions and
the effect has been felt in the primary
market, where the demand has been
limited to near requirements of unim-
portant volume in nearly all directions.
Buyers quite generally show an indis-
position to be interested in goods not
wanted for immediate needs in any
staple line and are buying on a con-
sentative scale in specialties for fall.
The tone of the market continues dull
and in most directions easy, but there
is no pressure on the part of the gen.
eral run of sellers to force business at

NO TYPEWRITERs IN TURKEY.
Customs Authorities Have Prevented
 Entry Into That Country.

Constantinople, May IS. - The customs authorities have prohibited the entry of typewriters into Turkey, and 200 machines now in the customhouse have been or dered to be returned to the consignors.
 The authorities have taken up the pe- culiarly characteristic attitude that there Is no distinct feature about typewriting by which the authorship could be recog- nized or a person using machine be traced, and that consequently any one would be able to put in type seditious writ, ings without fear of compromising him. self.
 Photographic paste and fluid are also prohibited for similar reasons.
 The embassies are making representa- tions on the subject with the view of in ducfng the Turkish government to take up more reasonable attitude.

IOWA HAS A CANDIDATE.
Leslie H. Shaw Would Like to Step into Nc
Kinley's Shoes.
(By the Associated Press. }

Chicago, Ills, Aug Ex-senator Dolli-
yer, of Iowa, while in Chicago today an
nounced that Governor Shaw, of Iowa,
will be candidate for the Presidency.
The Senator also said that Iowa and a
considerable portion of the middle West
would be back of Iowa's favorite son.
Senator Delivers announcement was
precipitated today by the fact that his
presence in Chicago was reported to be
for the purpose of meeting Vice-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Dolliver said
"Vice President Roosevelt is popular
man and has host of friends, but / do

boom for 1904 at this time.
Iowa has candidate In the person OF
Leslie NJ Shaw, and my State is back
of him solid. / believe we can count upon
other supporters, but the date. of the next
convention is far off and many things may
happen between now and then. Governor
Shaw has strong hold on Iowa and
upon the nation. He is aesafe conserva-
tive man and a man of ability. His repu-
tation is not confined to the borders of
his own State, and his term of Governor
of Iowa has been one of the most success
full in the history Of the commonwealth.

THE SHOOTING AT SEA GIRT.
National Rifle Association of America Begin a
Ten bays Tournament.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
Sea Girt, N. j., August 30.--The Ma
tional Rifle Association of America began
a ten days shooting tournament on the
New Jersey State Camp ranges at Sea
Grit, N. j., today, which promises to be
the most important event held on this side
OF the Atlantic Ocean.
Today the Ulster men and severalof the
American shooters, from whose ranks
General Bird w. Spencer will select the
New Jersey Rife Association, monopoliz-
ed the long ranges, beginning at 800 yards
range and going back to the 900 and 1000
yards, each man shooting eleven times at
each distance.
At 900 yards john Morgan, of Ireland,
scored ten successive bulls-eyes, and out
OF his first % shots he made 20 bulls-e eyes
at 500 and 900 yards. When each side
had finished the round of the three dis
tances, Morgan had 1876 points out of u
possible $50 and Robert Duncan, another
Ulster man, had similar score.
The American representatives who par
ticipated ON the long range wark were
members of the New Jersey Rifle Asso-
citation. They all acquitted themselves
creditably. None of the scores of the
American contingent was made known,
but it is generally understood that while
their shooting was not as good as that of
the visitors their results were most sat
isfactory.
The Columbia trophy was won by the
fourth regiment Jersey City and the in
spectors match by Captain Stebbins,
Twelfth Regiment New York.

UNDER 60 THE WIRES.
Bell Telephone Company Making Ready For
Improved System.

The Bell Telephone Company is hard
at work arranging for the change of part
of it's Raleigh system from overhead
wires to underground conduits.
In the streets around the capitol work
was going on rapidly yesterday, large
force of laborers digging the trenches
and putting in the conduits, this being
under the supervision of Mr.. F. w. Cults.
For the present the underground system
will extend from corner of Blount street
and Newbern avenue along Blount to
Morgan, up Morgan to Salisbury and TO
the corner of Hillsboro street. A juno
ton will be made running from Morgan
street down Fayetteville to Cabarrus.
This will remove the poles from the main
business street of the city and from
about the capital, while later on the
poles will be removed and the under
ground system put in other sections until
all are under ground.
On Fayetteville street there will be
eight conduits. Each of these Is in
cresoted piece of wood. anywhere from
four to eight feet long, five inches wide
and five inches thick. Lengthwise cir
cular; hole, three and a half inches in
diameter, extends. In these the cables
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1901-09-01

with the wires are placed, each cable
having in it from 100 to 400 wires. The
eight conduits are laid together in a
creosoted box. block apart there are
man holes and through these the cables
are introduced into the conduits, being
pulled through by a rope introduced by
an extending sectional pushing rod. On
all streets except Fayetteville there will
be only four conduits, as these will carry
sufficient wires for the present.
The underground system is far more
efficient than the overhead. as storms,
sleet, falling trees, crossing of wires and
similar troubles are avoided. 1t is better
for the subscriber as the annoying buzz
zing of the overhead wire is not heard
at the receiver from an underground
system. The expense is greater at nrst
in the underground system, but in time
is cheaper because the repairs are few.
The overhead wires of the company are
being overhauled and the whole Bell sys-
tenn will be made metallic. The breaks
from the overhead to the undergrounds
system will be through hollow iron poles
through which the cables will pass.
The company expects to finish the work
mere III Two WcchS IIOlH ueSudy luot' VII
September 18th it will take possession of
the store on Fayetteville street where
Blake's jewelry store is now conducted,
and by October Is will be at home on the
ground floor with new switchboard and
new outfit, the exchange from one office
to another to be made without any in
convenience to the public.
Work between Raleigh and Greensboro
on the long distance phone connection is
half completed and soon Raleigh can talk
with New York and other long distance
points. 1t is the purpose of the company
to extend it's line to Goldsboro and to
branch out from that point.

FINAL SERIES OF RACES.
The Winner Will Sail Against Shamrock the
Second.
(By the Associated Press.)


Newport, r. L., Aug. 30.-The final
series of races between the Constitution
and Columbia will begin over the Newport
course tomorrow. Of all the contests that
have taken place between the American
boats this season, these are the most
important, for on their result depends
the selection of the defender to sail
against the Shamrock III in the great
races for the Americas cup off Sandy
Hook The challenge committee of the
New York Yacht Club has never had so
much difficulty in selecting the American
coat. Out of sixteen races already
finished each has now eight and so close
are the two boats in the matter of speed
that many good yatchsmen say that what
ever the outcome of the trials it will
still be a hard task to choose between
them.
Both racers are at the mornings in the
harbor tonight fit for the fray.
Sir Thomas Upton, owner of the cup
challenger will be a spectator of the
race on Monday.

New York, Aug. 30.-Gustav T.. Gleason,
who was at the helm of the battleship
Texas on the day of the battle of Santa
go and for whom the Judge Advocate of
the Navy has been searching, lives in
