ket rallied sharply Sugar was about
the only notable exception to the days
strength, the bears lowering it two
points at one time and selling stead
lily when it rallied. There was little
news of Importance bearing on either
the crop conditions or the steel strike
and the influence was less marked.
Frequent relapses in prices were made
causing the Pacific stocks to sag tenn
porarily under yesterdays close
When pressure relaxed prices rallied
easily and as there were large pur-
chases of st. Paul and the Eastern
stocks, shorts covered more generally
in the market.
The improvement in the trunk lines
and soft coal stocks was partly due to
the benefits expected to accrue from
the recent formation of bituminous
coal combination. New York Central
made the largest rise of 81, but Balti-
more and Ohio, Pennsylvania, Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Norfolk and West
ern averaged points better Minor
Vanderbilt stocks sympathized with
the movement in. New York Central,
especially G. c. C. and st. l..
st. Paul was taken in good
amounts and advanced 3k on re-
ports that there might be an increased
dividend declared next month Short
buying was considered to be RESPONSE
BILE for the improved tone of the mar
ket, but the waning influence of the
crop conditions and the steel strike
was also considered. Western and Pa
cine stocks followed pretty closely in
the wake of st. Paul on it's advance.
and the grain carrying roads were
helped by the heaviness in the grain
market The coalers, fractions and
some 0f the low priced industrials
showed good strength at various times,
the strong rise in International PAPER
being due to expectations of a very ia
vorable annual statment But little in
terest was manifested in the United
States Steel stocks and they moved
quite generally independent of other
stocks. An early rise of 5s and "a,
respectively, in the common and pre-
ferred were followed by a gradual de-
cline, and they ended only h@1b high
err. The large payments made by the
sub-treasury on account of army and
navy credits and some receipts of gold
at Pacific coast points caused a loss
of about $1,500,000 by the banks to the
sub-treasury up to yesterday to be
turned into again about as much. The
stock market closed strong and at
about the best for the principal fea-
lures.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Gotten Letter


New York, Aug. 13.-Many showers
fell in Texas spreading south over a
portion of the section which is suffer
ing from drought, causing a decline in
Liverpool and Weakness here until
the publication of the weekly bureau
weather report. This report was not
a good one of the conditions existing
before these showers in Texas and Ar
kansas and though reporting an i'm
provement in the central and eastern
portions of the belt, brought quick
recovery from the opening prices. The
market is without any decided con-
victions as the course of prices ex-
cept to avoid the short side until ad-
ditional rains fall in Central Texas.
Spinners alone hold any decided con-
viction, which they show by not buy
ing freely for forward delivery. Re-
ceipts are heavy and promise to be
larger than last season as the good
grades are scare and command good
premiums. The local trade expects a
sharp rally in Liverpool tomorrow.

LAST YEARS RECORDS.
Wonderful Performances OF Riders
Who Were Paced, In Part at
Least, by Motor Cycles.

Although we have, many OF us, lost
the old-time enthusiasm in the bicycle,
the really wonderful performances last
year of riders who were paced by mo-
tor-cycles, are well worthy of passing
notice. From perusal of the record
table lately issued by the International
Cyclists union, the authority of whose
Things is quite unimpeachable, we
gather the following facts: Although
none of the records made in 1899 for a
distance of mile or under were sur.
passed, except that three-quarters of a
mile with flying start, all the records
for distances from one mile to 634 miles
have been exceeded by considerable
margin, the great increase in speed in
the longer distances being due to the
introduction of improved motorcycles
for pacing the riders. The record of
quarter of mile with a flying start
stands, as it did in 1899, at 20 seconds
and for one mile at minute % 25 Sec
onds. Late in October of this year a
rider covered, for the first time, dis.
lance of 40 miles within the hour, the
exact distance ridden being 40 miles 1927
yards. Another rider, in an attempt at
the 24-hour record, covered 1873 miles
in six hours, $40 miles in 12 hours and
634 miles in "a hours. The speed of a
quarter of a mile in 20 seconds is equal
to speed of As miles an hour, which is
higher than the average speed, in clud.
ing stops, of any but few express
trains running to-day in this country.
Such phenomenal speeds as these are
rendered possible only by the pacing
machine, and that they are made at all
proves that on level surfaces the at
mosphere affords by far the largest of
| the resistances encoun tered by a BIZ
| cycle at speeds of over IL to IS miles an
| hour.@Scientific American.

Hor.e stu Is with o..

Since the horse was not knocked out
of existence by the bicycle it may not
scare him very much to be told that
he is now doomed by the automobile.
Business men who have tried autos for
delivery service are quite certain that
within the next i've years delivery by
horses will be thing of the past. Well.
maybe SO, and then again, maybe not.
1t does not require very old person to
remember how the bicycle was not only
going to kill off the horses, but also
take away all the patronage from troll.
ley cars and steam railroads. On the
contrary, the steam and trolley cars
are doing more business than ever, and
good horses are still with US. It does
not do to predict in a hurry.-Golden
DAYS.

reaching the injured as soon as possi-
BILE, rather than providing a rapid
means of transporting the sufferer to
hospital. The bicycle is provided
with a curved bar at the front and
rear, which are clamped to the frame
and provided with sockets to receive
the sides of the frame. The latter is
of light tubing and has braces to
stretch the canvas when the stretcher
is open. When not in use the braces
are folded in line with the frame and
the whole may be roll,d up and att
tached to the bicycle without interior
ing with the Tier sufficiently to inn
pede his progress. To steer the whe Ell
when the stretcher is in use an elon-
gated handle is clamped on the front
fork, extending nearly to the level of
the canvas, the rescuer using one hand
to push the ambulance and the other
to steer with.-Chicago Daily News.

and. in spite of the indignation of
mis- aid.e-de-camp, put on full speed and
quickly passed the cyclist. The latter
struggled hard to keep up, but finally
collapsed, being pumped out" His
majesty rushed ahead, looking round
from time to time to see how his au-
dacious challenger got on. AT Quatre
Bras the royal automobile was
stopped for some minutes, doubtless
awaiting the promised drinks. The
cyclist, however, in spite of his au-
dacity, dared not face the royal
chauffeur" and if the king had
drinks it was at his own expense.

Recipe Tor Bridal salad

A salad for wedding breakfast or
dinner is made as follows: Shred Z
quarter of new cabbage az
fine as the petals of a chrysan-
themum. Remove the seeds from
two sweet green peppers of me-
dunn size and slice them in very
fine rings; then slice one medium-sized
onion as thin as possible. Mix these in
gradients together and lay them light
IL in salad bowl; surround them with
quarters Of tomatoes; pour a dressing
over all composed of oil. vinegar. salt
and pepper. and serve.

sultan object. to bicycles.

The sultan of Turkey objects to BIZ
cycle races, not because he is afraid of
anyone getting hurt, but because he
fears he may get hurt himself. Crowds
are not welcome in the neighborhood
of his sacred person. When number
of people are gathered together it be-
comes a riot, and they make it easier
for the caliph's subjects to conspire to-
gether and, perhaps, to arrange at
1empts against their sovereign's life.
This feeling on the part of the Turkish
authorities has acquired fresh energy
since the assassination of King Hum
bert. Further races in Constantinople
have. therefore, been forbidden by the
notice
