New York, August 2S.-There was con-

the stock market today and the ANNA
ton which has been shown on the pre-
vious days Of this week was lacking. The
speculative disappointment caused by
yesterdays reduction of the dividend on
Reading first preferred and the anxiety
Of continued depletion OF banking re-
serves. taken with the interior demand
for currency were responsible for the
pause in the speculative activity. Il was
apparent that some sharp losses were
incurred by the plunging in Reading
yesterday before the dividend reduction
was announced and in Atchison on the
day before previous to the report Of the
shrinkage in July net earnings. There
was some further selling in these stocks
today and Illinois Central reacted sharply
from yesterdays show OF strength. After
the pressure to sell by disguised holders
on margin had relaxed. prices pushed up
here and there with rather sustaining
effect on the rest OF the market. No
stocks Of the hrst grade were concerned
in this movement which was confined To
minor railroad stocks and to some rarely
active specialties notably the gas stocks
and the express stocks Talk Of consol-
idaticn accompanied the rise IN both
cases. sloss- Sheffield steeIs strong rise
was unexplained. The upward move

violent recovery and a gain by reaction.
The undertone of the market was de-
cidedly improved after the early pressure
! relaxed. but there was no disposition
toward the revival OF enthusiasm with
which stocks have recently been bought
The improved feeling was partly due
TO the report in the country OF the meas
ures in contemplation for the relief Of
the financial situation. report was
formulated that the large banks were
concerning measures to provide by pur-
chase or by borrowing sufficient in
crease in holdings of government bonds
to enable them TO expand their note cir
culation 10 a substantial degree. 1t is
hoped that bank notes can be shipped
TO the interior to meet the demand Tor
circulation and thus afford protection
to the reserves Of lawful money with
the banks. IT was asserted that prepare
ton had been made by the treasury de-
partment to supply promptly the demand
for new bank notes. which is supplied
very slowly as a rule. owing to the tirne
consumed In engraving and printing
notes.
1t has been supposed that the available
supply Of government bonds had been
pretty well swept of the market. but
the belief that the available means for
releasing surplus government funds TO
the market have about been exhausted
has stimulated efforts to find other
means OF relief. The deposits at the sub
treasury for transfer TO the interior today
amounts TO $4,000 Of which 500 ~ was
for New Orleans and 10000 for San
Francisco. Without counting these opera
lions the sub-treasury has absorbed

HOG SALES
CATTLE.

Cattle receipts continue light and about
the same from day to day. The market
yesterday was about the same for the
class Of cattle sold as it had been for two
or three days past Common cows and
heifers are not very much in demand. but
there seems TO be buyers for everything
that comes, and this class is selling as
well comparatively on this market as on
any other. The best demand at this time
seems to be for stockers and feeders and
good butchers cows and heifers. but thin
cows and heifers have to sell cheap.

startled his neighbors in the "Arsd-
ley" an apartment house in Brooklyn,
by bringing a pony recently bought
into his apartments on the second
floor. He drove to the house in a dog
cart drawn by the pony, accompanied
by his coachman and three dogs. The
pony was then unhitched, led up the
stoop to the wide hallway, and forced
up the stairway to the Brewer apart

Mr.. Brewers wife, his mother and the
servants. Much more trouble attend

be half carried down to the hallway.
The clamor was increased by the pro-

VIII Sing Mt Coronation.

Miss Mary Mcfarland and Miss
Marie Mcfarland, twin sisters, of Den
yer, Col, who are well known as much
for their beauty as for their talent as
songsters, have been chosen to sing at
the coronation ceremonies of King
Edward VII, to be held next summer.
The Misses Mcfarland have been great
travellers and it was upon one of their
journeys through Europe that they
met the present king of England, at
that time prince of Wales. 1t is stated
that the royal command to sing at the
ceremonies proceeds directly from the
king and is not the outcome of the
plans of the committee which has this
matter in hand~ This is felt to be an
additional honor and the residents
of Denver who have watched the
careers of the twin sisters with kind
ly interest are greatly pleased over the
matter.
