New fork, September 1.-The Commer- cial-Advertiser's London financial cable- gram says:
 The stock market here today was flrmer except in the American department. These snares, arter steady opening. fell about 1h to points from parties The req con commonly attributed was nervo,,snes. over the bulletin which announced that President Mckinley had undergone a fresh operation. Other market observers said that the monetary outlook explaineS the dullness. The general opinion is that there are more doctors around the mar ket than there are around Mckinley.

OUR TYPEWRITERs ABROAD.

Consul Hill, at Amsterdam. has sent
to the State Department report cen
corning the use Of typewriters in Euro

Netherlands Among other things he
says:
In proportion to the pouIation Of dif-
ferent countries. typewriters are used
more in the Netherlands than in BsI-
GUM, Germany. and France. though less
than in the United States and in Eng
land
1T is next TO impossible to secure re
liable figures concerning the sale OF type

smaller agents eXaggerate their sales. All
agents, however, agree in anticipating
for the year 1901 an increasing demand in
