Two men were taken to the Rhode ISL
and hospital this morning suffering from
the effects OF inhaling Illuminating gas.
They were Carl Fingal. 80 years old.
widower. with two sons residing In
Sweden, and
Carl Harms. 80 years old. whose wife
and 10 months old child are In Sweden.
Fingal Is an iron molder and Harms a
carpenter
Both have been employed at the Ameri-

months.

She heard them go up stairs and half
an hour later she retired.
fast at the usual hour today she became
uneasy.
At 6l5 o'clock she went up stairs and
as she approached their door detected a
strong smell OF gas.
Pushing open the door OF their room
she was met by a powerful volume OF gas.
She observed that Harms had undressed
and had gone 10 bed; but Fingal. for some
unknown reason. had kept his clothing on
and taking a pillow had placed IL against
tho back of rocking chair and, resting
that way. had fallen asleep.
why Fiugal should not have gone to
bed she could not say.
He had not complain ained OF illness, and
both men had been perfectly sober all
day
So far as she knows they came home
free from the effects OF any stimulants.
EFFORTS TO REVIVE THEM.
Hastily raising window she dragged
Harms 10 IL and then pulled Fingal TO the
hallway.
Assistance was called for and a mes .
senger ran to summon DR.. Gallagher.

time and there was considerable of de-

The consideration of the future of the
local money market was a more effective
consideration. Last weeks loan increase
has brought the loans of the New York
clearing house banks to a total of over
1913, 600, 900 which is forty-one millions
I'm excess of those of a year ago, about
eight millions less than a year ago, and
the surplus reserves about eight millions
lees The condition of the New York
trust companies is of greater Importance
now than ever before in estimating the
money situation, their deposits on June
80 of $3.50. 100000 comparing with 1857
600 600 in the banks on the same date.
Comparative figures show that trust COM
pany loans on collateral and on personal
security were over $500 ,O00, coo, compared
with $547, 100000 a year ago, while the
actual cash on hand reported by these
institutions on June 80 was only $S,238,-
10, or less than a million greater than
last year. The enormous expansion of
the business of the trust companies is
the key to the cautious feeling which
gains force as the period approaches for
the interior demand for currency. To-
days developments seem to show that
the outward movement of gold is over
for the present, owing probably to the
success attending the French rente con-
version plan. Discounts in Paris today
fell to near two per cent. and an advance
in the sterling rate there indicated re-
newed remittances to London to be
placed in the loan market there. Aside
from this general repressive influence
only a few stocks were affected by in
dividual causes. The iron and steel
group had some advantage from the bril-
liant trade prospects, the strong semi
annual report of the Republic Steel
Company, rumors of coming Developments
concerning the pressed Steel Car Com
pany and inspired intimations of large
earnings for July by the United States
Steel Corporation. The government

cotton condition had some effect on cot

was made to advance the coalers on the
idea that coal mining may be resumed

New Orleans, Aug. 4.-There was a
moderate movement in the spot cotton
market. Bids, as a rule were we'll under
board figures. Quotations reduced 1-16
on all grades.
In the future market values sagged off
four to five points on the first call, the
subsequent fluctuations covering a range
of but one to two points either way. At
II a. m. the government bureaus re-
port, giving the average for the month
at 81. came in and at once set the mar
ket in turmoil. The figure was rather
more favorable for the short element
than had been anticipated. and despite
the herculean effort of bulls to support
prices, August at once sold down points,
and September October and December
five points each. In the excitement that
prevailed for a time values huctuated
some to 3 points from the lowest level,
but matters soon uuieted down and at
the close the board showed net losses
compared with Saturdays closing of 10
to II points.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 4.-There was no strong
influence at work in todays stock mar
ket and the rate of activity fell away
to about the dullest of the year. The
closing of the London Stocl1 Exchange
was only a slight factor in the dullness.

NEW YORK COTTON.


New York. Aug. 4-The cotton market
opened barely steady with prices 2 points
higher to 1 point lower, and then Slipped
downward point by point under persistent
pressure and absence of substantial sup
port. The room entertained bearish con-
victions and was made additionally pessi-
mistic by the scarcity of buying orders
and the general Indifference of the public
at large. There were no cables in hand
from Liverpool and the weather reports
from the belt in general were fairly en-
couraging. BY midday the whole market
had sifted down some to S points with
the feeling at that time nervous. Then
came the condition figures from Wash
ington, S1.9, this being nearly two points
better than generally anticipated. The
bears at once stepped in and forced
prices down rapidly and caused longs to
unload. Several options sank to a level
fifteen points under the close of Saturday
and for the rest of the session the tone
was in favor of the shorts. Neverthe-
less. official reports of very high temper
atures in Texas and some misgivings as
to just what tomorrow's weekly crop
weather statement from Washington will
show, caused the conservative traders to
take profits and withdraw. Prominent
commission houses were large sellers on
the break; Wall Street appeared to have
swung around to the bull side for a turn
and was consistent buyer all through
the session. The market closed quiet and
steady, with prices net to IA points
lower. Total sales were estimated at
100000 bales.
