Recovered the Watch.

A Wheeling banker, who was at the
Buffalo Exposition. on Presidents Day,
had an unpleasant experience. He was
in a crowd when he felt somebody tug
ging at his watch chain. He held
the fellow, who was promptly arrested,
the Wheeling man remaining to pros
cute him. In the struggle the watch
was lost. On the following day he
visited the building in which the pick
pocket had worked, and found the
watch lying in a corner, where it had
been kicked by the crowd.

New York Stock Market

New York, July 17.-Early knowledge
of the terms of Mr.. Morgan's letter
nominating the new members of the
Northern Pacific board of directors to
fill the vacancies to be created was in
dub1tably the cause of the emphatic
recovery of prices Of stocks today. The
first intimation of the news came to the
street through the open buying of round
of various stocks by brokers
generally understood to act for both the
Morgan and Hartman interests. The
fact of this buying was evidence of the
satisfaction felt by both parties to the
Northern Pacific contest over the terms
Of settlement provided for by Mr.. Nor
gan'S action. aside from the strong as
felt from the personality OF
h new members of the board that d
fair and satisfactory adjustment would
be secured. The additional recon-
mendatiOn for the immediate construc-
ton of the board rather than to await
the regular meeting in October was an
additional cause of relief to the specu-
lative mind. The conviction hat al.
early settlement Of the Northern Pa
cific controversy was at hand, which
permeated the market all the morning,
was crystalized by the rather spectac-
ular advice of a sale Of 200 shares OF
Northern Pacific common stock on the
board. The price was lis. The mute
record on the tape, coming smoothly
from the ticker, with the quotation
jumbled in with the routine transac-
tons of the market, was eloquent of
the end of, perhaps, the most disastrous
quarrel that ever unsettled values in
Wall street.
The last of the struggling ~ransac-
tons in the stock which followed the
sale for $1,000 cash in the elimination
Of the corner in the panic of May 9Th
was made on June 30th when the stock
sold at 150, which was the settlement
price offered by the outsiders to the
shorts. Since hat time the stock has
disappeared from the market and there
has not been a nominal quotation
for it.

New York, July 17.-Speculation in
cotton was rather tardy all day though
occasional spurts Of room n outside
buying relieved the monotony at times.
The general course Of the market was
upward. on purely legitimate influences
In fact the manipulated July option
acted as a drawback, being heavy and
unsupported most of the day. The
market opened steady with July 4
points lower and other months IN
changed to 6 points higher. Soon af-
ter the call fairly good southern n
European buying sifted in while shorts
lost confidence in their position and coV-
cred nervously. This buying sent prices
we'll up to the top notch OF the prevl-
Gus day. All the morning the market
was dispoSed to work higher, the Eng
lish cables being decidedly frmer than
expected. weather reports showing con-
tinued drouth over the entire western
belt and local rains only in the central
belt, while more u~nneeded, soaking
rains had fallen in the south Atlantic
states. Again reports from southern
spot markets indicated strong convic-
tions on the part of holders. Business
dwindled to a mere scalping trade at
noon and early in the late session prices
settled several points; but at 2 o'clock
p. m. there was a marked change for
the better on reports that hot winds
had set in over Texas and were doing
great damage. Southern buying orders
again became a feature and shorts here
once more beat a hasty retreat. Lead
ing bulls bought the new crop options
with confidence and for the rest of the
day the market exhibited a firm under
tone. The close was steady with prices
net 1 to Y points higher.
