Yesterdays market on the local Stock Ex-
change was a record-breaker as far as bust
ness was concerned and was only saved
from a whitewash by the narrowest Ct mar
gins Il was in the doldrums and drifted
about like a water-logged vessel. making
no progress. either up or down. while the
transactions were the smallest that have
been recorded for weeks. Broker general
ly look for a quiet market the opening day
Of the week and for this reason the day is
commonly called blue Monday 1t was
worse than blue yesterday. II was "yaller,"
as one of the brokers expressed it. Those
who were present at the meeting seemed to
be poorly supplied with orders and took but
little interest In the proceedings. their bids
and offers to sell being made in a ~listless.
don't-care sort of way. This. Of course, did
not presage business OF any consequence
and none was done. The market dragged
along until II was nearly half over before
the Ice was broken by a sale of 10 shares
of Commonwealth Trust Company stock at
s2ss. There was another long period of
dullness. followed by sales of 10 shares of
old Lincoln Trust at s237 and 20 shares OF
United preferred ut $50 %. making the total
transactions for the day 20 shares.
There were fewer quotations made at yes
terday's session than usual. some of the
more active securities not being quoted at
all during the day. United Railways were
in best demand. but at q point decline from
Saturdays latest figures, the preferred be-
ing bid sS0.25 and held at $3.50, while Trans
1t stock was S27.25 bid and 81. 30 asked. The
bonds. on the other hand. were practically
unchanged.
Both bank and trust stocks were in the
dumps and in several cases lower. This
was true of new and old Lincoln. which
closed at $236.J bid and $El.O
asked. though at one time as high
as S237.O was bid for the old
stock. Commonwealth. on the other hand.
was higher. selling IL points better for the
day at s2s2. IS bid and $ao3.50 asked; Nation,
closed i point lower at ses9.5 80 bid and S29i75
asked. American Exchange was also 1
point lower. but other bank stocks were
nominally unchanged.
Securities coming under the head OF mis-
cellaneous were quite freely quoted, but
there were no sales. as bids and offers were
generally too far apart.

CHANGE OF VENUE REFUSED.
Three Weeds Cases Continued in
Judge Zimmermann's Court.

Judge Zimmerman refused to grant a
change of venue yesterday in the South st.
Louis Police Court in three weeds cases. on
application of julius T. Muench, special
counsel for the Board of Health. and the
cases. which are the last of a batch Of
fifteen, were continued until August II.
When the batch came up for trial last
week some of them were dismissed. as the
parties had cut the weeds on their prop
erty, and the remainder were continued un-
til yesterday to give Attorney Muench time
to get transcripts of the Recorders records
to prove ownership. as Judge zimmerman
ruled that oral testimony was not suffi-
Client
All but three OF the cases were disposed
Of yesterday without trial. One was dis
missed on a technicality. and the other de-
PENDANTS had cut the weeds. Attorney
Muench asked for a charge of venue in
the three cases. Judge Zimmerman over
ruled the motion on the ground that Attor-
ney Muench had no right to represent the
city in the cases, and that 1t was not clear
to the Court that the city was entitled to
a change of venue under any circumstances
Assistant City Attorney Albert Burgess
suggested that the cases be continued un-
til the question of the city's right to a
change of venue be investigated. and this
waz done.

RAILROAD BONUS
ASKED Of NASHVILLE.
Governor Baxter and st. Louis
Capitalists Back Of Big PROF
ect-Unique Election.
SPECIAL.

SPECIAL.
Nashville. Tenn. Aug. By far the
most interesting election Nashville has held
In years is to be decided on Thursday next.
The question is: Shall Nashville vote q
million dollar subscription TO a railroad
proposed to be built by Ex-Governor Jere
Baxter and st. Louis associates. TO run
from Nashville TO GAINESVILLE and thence to
a connection with the Illinois Central. or
shall 1t not?
1t was generally believed In Tennessee
that the day for subsidies TO railroads was
over, but Colonel Baxter. who Is a pro-
moter OF ability, and the railroad projectors
have artfully encouraged a popular BELIEF
that a new railroad would do wonders for
Nashville. as the roads centering here are
all controlled by the Louisville and Nash
vile.
The grotesque feature OF the campaign Is
that Colonel Baxter tells his audiences
that nothing but Il transcontinental line.
running from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ocean. through Nashville and St. Louis.
will avail the people of Nashville. and that
IL they will vote MIN the million dollars 10
to get seventy miles to the Illinois Central
the transcontinental line Will follow. Last
fall Nashville voted Baxter n million dol
lars. by 8 to /, for 4 road running from
the Illinois Central at Leitchfeld. KY. to
the Southern Railway, at a point In Ala
DANA inefe was All Oibdhi~eu oppo-.t
to i'm. however. and legal faws were
found in the contract and the granting or
the money was enjoined.
Last falls vote shows what a large num-
Der OF people are under the Baxter spell:
The Mayor of the city and the political
ring are backing him. but there Is an or
ganized opposition. which has a counter
proposition to offer, In case Baxter should
be defeated. This Is In substance for the
city to build a road to the Illinois Central
and lease 1t to "a competitor of the Louis
VILE and Nashville. as the city of Cincin-
natl does with the Cincinnati Southern. No
conservative man dares give an opinion as
to Thursdays vote.
All concede IL will be close.

RUSSELL SAGE'S VOTE.
Big Financier Turned In a De.
fectively Marked Ballot.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Aug. Sit became known to-
day through an examination Of special en-
rollment certificates that Russell Sage lost
his vote last fall. His ballot was marked
incorrectly ana thrown out as defective. As
the enrolment certificate that accompanied
1t was also thrown out. Mr.. Sage had to
re-enroll. He did SO and with the Repub-
lican party.
When men like Mr.. Sage nullify their
votes through mistakes in marking the
big blanket ballots. 1t Is regarded as sur
prising that Ignorant men DO a. well as
they do. Chief Clerk Allen Of the Election
Bureau estimates this defective vote at not
more than o~ne-Quarter Of l per cent Of the
total.

be worth and a little more. and. although
there has, of course, been forced liquida-
ton on the serious declines. there has un-
douhtedly been a great mass of short sell
ing as well. In spite of the buying order
for some l5.OO0 shares or more in Pennsyl-
vania, even that stock suffered, and the
hard and soft coalers lost ground in the
general decline. Declines all around ex-
tended to 3. 4 and 5 points. and the break
was not confined to the railroad stocks and
the steels-
Sugar was especially weak, on the belief
that insiders had been selling in the recent
past and that fresh competition would en-
tail the cutting OF the price of refined su-
gar.
Cotton Report Disappointing.
The Government cotton report was rather
disappointing, although If it was under the
lowest. The advance in cotton oil was due
to the. circular inviting deposits of stock
with the First National Bank. which was
taken to Indicate a consolidation of oil in
terests under the auspices of the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company.
Money continues very easy at 2 to ~ per
cent. and Is at present no factor in the
market. 1t is not likely to become one for
some little time to come, although, neces-
sarily. the demand will increase later in
the fail.
The close was above lowest, although only
a small part Of the severe losses on the
day was recovered. The announcement that
the strike was not to be made general be-
fore next week had some small rallying
effect, but the declines had caused the run
ming off of many margins. and the stream
of scattering liquidation was quite consider
able.
There was some selling of the Morgan
stocks. especially Fries and Southern Rail-
way. on the belief that Insiders would have
their hands tied protecting Steel.
