THE STOCK MARK E1.
Early Rise Followed by slump.

New York, Aug. 1.-To- days rebound
 in prices at the opening of the stock | exchange was lacking in any news to
 explain it. There was some revision ot
 sentiment among the traders. Having
 sold stocks for three days without ac- 1 tive participation of the public, the
 room traders began to feel that their short lines were getting uncomfortably 1 extended and they bought stocks to cover. The United States Steel stock commanded the principal attention and | rebounded sharply from yesterdays de- presson. There was no news of any
 change in the status of the strike nego- tiations when the market opened, but the traders had come to the conclusion
 that they were unduly pessimistic over the prospect of a settlement when they sold these stocks down yesterday after noon. So they bought back what they
 had sold. The recovery in those stocks
 had a dominant influence on the rest of the list and on speculative sentiment in general.
 In seeking for a bull argument the recent strength of Norfolk and Western and other bituminous coal carriers of fered a lead. That group of stocks was accordingly bought and bid up by trad CTS, and the movement spread to the anthracite roads. The movement seem ed to be based on the general consider ation of the sound conditions in the trade and the periodical advance of ten cents per ton in the price of anthracite, which went into effect to-day. The distribution of dividends and interest day, including that on government bonds, was looked to to provide some demand for reinvestment. The contin- ued advance this morning In sterling exchange seemed to foreshadow some outgo of gold, and this possibility was a oppressive influence on speculation. The highest prices generally were made before noon and the absolute failure to attract any outside following prompted the professionals to sell out their hold ings again and take their profits. The selling at first was of insignificant pro- portion but it was found necessary in order to find a market for even small blocks to continue the concession in the offered price until the first sales effect ed showed wide declines from the pre- vious prices. United States Steel more than lost it's two-point rise and the pre- ferred stock saved only a small frac- ton.
 The notable gains al other points were reduced almost entirely to frac- tions and numerous net losses were es- tablished. The closing was dull and heavy.
 Business in railroad bonds was small and there were recessions from the best prices in the course of the day. The total sales par value aggregated $685. poo.
 United States bonds were all un- on the last call.

of Professor Beach, a modern dairy has been established, not alone for the instruction of the young men attend- ing the college, but also valuable as an example for the farmers of the State. By vote of the college trustees, this plant together with the assistance of Professor Beach, has been at the disposal of the experiment station, under the direction of pr. AtWater, who has designated w. A. Stocking, now farm superintendent, as his as sistant.
 Professor Conn, the well-known bac- teriologist and expert in all products of the dairy, is also engaged to deliver a course of lectures at the college duf- ing the coming school year. The Hon. John B. Noble, Dairy Commissioners, and Deputy Robert O. Eaton, as well as President H. F. Potter and Secre- tary George E. Manchester of Winsted, have been consulted and interested in this valuable experimental work These efforts are in line with the pur- pose of the board of trustees to in crease the agricultural, mechanical and scientific work at the Connecticut Agri- cultural College, as has all along been the desire of the trustees, in spite of sundry embarrassements.
 Dr. True is emphatic in his commen- dations of the investigations now be- ing conducted in Connecticut, under the direction of the State Experiment sta tion, which comes under his control as chief of the experiment station division at WaSbingtOO He recalls that Con nceticut was the first State to establish an agricultural experiment station, and says that she has kept in the front rank in new work of all kinds. The present activity in tobacco growing and curing, food nutrition and dairy work. alcholic investigations, and the like, all show how successful is the direc- tion of the State experiment station, and it's branch at Storrs.

EXPERIMENT WORK.
CONNECTICUT 4 GOOD FIELD TOR INYESTIGAIIONS BY THE
 GOVERNMENT.
Some Matters Explained at the Confer
 ence in Hartford.

One of the subjects discussed at the Allyn House conference, Hartford, Monday, when Dr. A. c. True, chief of the Experiment Station Division of the Department of Agriculture, and Dr. w. A. Atwater of Middletown, director of the Storrs Experiment Station, met Congressman Henry. was the exper- iment work at Storrs. The promi- hence which has been given to the good nutrition work in the press, accom- panied by the notoriety which came from the attacks of the w. c. T U. on Dr. Atwaters experiments as to the food value of alcohol, have given the impression that Dr. Atwater, as direc- tor of the Storrs Experiment Station, had tried to divert from the ordinary channels at Storrs Station and to de- vote all energy and appropriations to the food nutrition experiments at Mid detown
 This misunderstanding was fur thered by the apparent inability of many of the farmers to understand that the government appropriation of $20,000 a year for food nutrition was entirely outside of the regular appro- prlations for the Experiment Station work at New Haven and Stbrrs. This is the case, however. and Connecticut instead of having had to divert her ex- perimental work toward the one line of food nutrition. has had the advan- tage over all the States in having both the regular Experiment Station work carried on in the regular way, and the additional important nutrition in vestigations without cost to the State and without in any way crippling the regular business of the station. Ths field experiments that have been con. tinually conducted at Storrs College, under Dr. Atwater as director, and under the supervision of Professor c. s. Phelps, vice-director, have been most important and successful and pr. True. at this conference, and sub- seQuently to representative of The Times, commended most highly the experimental station at Storrs.
 He expressed special approval of the completeness of the dairy outfit at the Connecticut Agricultural College, which is one of the best in the United States, and where, under the able management

THE CRAWFORD RACES.

$500 to be Awarded for Speed To-Mor-
 row Additional Attractions--Op
 tunity for Enjoyable Outing-RegulaI
 and Special Trains.
 Harry Cushman, secretary of the Branford Driving park, has announced that the entries for the two races that are on the programme for tomorrow afternoon surely indicate that there will be sharp contests and good races for the money offered for both classes. One of the entries for the $500 purse offered for 2:22 pacers is Crescent Wilkes 2:21B, a pacer sired by the cele- brated trotter Ralph Wilkes 2:06&, a remarkably fast horse that unfortu- nately died young, The death of this trotter was extensively regretted by expert horsemen who expected that the stallion would lower his very fast record
 William A. Penfield of Meriden, who bred Crescent Wilkes 2:21R, is entitled to congratulations for the success of his breeding venture. The dam of the pacer was the pacer Mana 2:251a by Ecair, he by General Knox.
 Several other fast horses are enter ed ;n both the 2:22 and 2:30 classes.
 For special attractions the enterpris- ing proprietor and his efficient secre- tary has secured Ramza and Arno, the eccentric comedians, whose funmaking will be appreciated. Another of the special features will be the refined comedy juggling by John LeClaire. The Second Regiment band is engaged for the afternoon. A trip to the attractive park affords an excellent opportunity for a short excursion
 Trains leave for the driving park and return as announced in another column in this paper.

JUDGE NEWELL BUYS AN ISLAND

JUDGE NEWELL BUYS AN ISLAND
 Judge Newell and his family of Bris- tol, arrived home from ten days stay in camp on an island in Lake Memphre- magog Monday night. He reports a very enjoyable time spent in camp on the island, with no outsider to interfere with their comfort. The owner of the island, an Englishman, is about to re- turn to the old country, and besides, he was not inclined to be accommodating, and Judge Newell decided that he would be independent in the future and he has purchased an island of about an acre in extent. As the island is in Canada our genial judge of probate and of the town court will for short period each year become a subject of the king. He reports the lake islands, of which there are ten in that vicinity, ideal places in which to camp out. The air Is bracing, there are no mosquitoes or other insect pests and fish are abundant in the wa ters of the lake. It was a common oc- currence with Judge Newell's party to go out fishing and land in an hours time from four to ten bass weighing from two or three pounds each Perch that weigh a pound are so numerous as to become nuisance to the bass fish Britain Herald.
