Little Effect on New york Market.

New York. June 24-The news of the
serious illness of the king of England
caused only temporary furry in Wall
street. This was partly due TO the fact
that the news of the success of the
operation upon the king was received
almost Immediately after the opening of
the stock exchange The resulting rally
in the London market checked the sell
ing Of stocks here for London account
But the selling at the opening for this
account was considerable and was well
taken, the resulting declines reaching a
point in only few of the leading in
ternational stocks. The general run or
stocks fell only small fractions. Prices
generally recovered when the advance Of
Stocks that were strong yesterday was

that followed was caused by the weak

NEW NOISE MAKERS.
Many Fourth of July Novelties This
Year

The Fourth of July this year is going
to be one Of unusually loud noises. Even
the little boys are boycOtting toy pistols,
small hrecrackers and the like. and are
buying large crackers and pistols which
shoot blank cartridges. If the pistol
happens to spit fire a little the boys
mind it not bit. Tor they enjoy tne
element of danger.
Among the new things in fireworks IS
the exploding cane, which makes more
noise than q 32-calibre blank cartridge
The cane has on the lower end an iron
attachment which is hollow and con-
tains a sort Of piston rod. The pill
shaped charge Of powder is put into the
attachment through a slit and when the
cane is dropped forcibly onto the ride
walk the piston does the rest. Fifty
charges can be bough for 5 cents, while
the cane itself costs but cents.
There are also some new kinds Of
balloons this year They are shaped az
ter animals such as the elephant fish
about in the skies. you imagine the ami O.
anals have Outstripped the human race
and made flying machines out of them
selves.
The kango clubs are designed to take
the place Of tOrpedOes. They sell for 10
cents and two come in a box. Each club
Is covered with an explosive, and when
Ine clubs are struck together a big noise
IS heard. The clubs can be used for
hours without wearing out.
The wheat sheaf must have been
conceived Dy some hanSan VINO 0ad
faith in the wheat crop this year The
shear emits fire which resembles a
golden sheaf Of wheat It sells for Is
cents
The man who is always trying to save
time and labor for the peopl has ben
at it again and the result is a double
triangular wheel. After one Of the two
wheels has sent forth its fountain-like
sprays of fire. the other wheel takes UP
the work but revOlves in the opposite
direction.
Whistling affairs are more than ever
in prom nence thf syear Included in
the number are the whistling cracker
jacks devils willies, fountains and me
teors. People VIII get enough whist
ing on this Fourth to last a while
