COMMERCIAL
 FINANCIAL
Falling Off of Profits in Roads Gives
 Stocks Downward Turn.

New York, August 27.-Today's early stock market was a repetition of yes- terday's. but on a smaller scale. The resemblance extended to the reaction ary tendency caused by heavy realizing in progress under cover of sustaining the strength of few stocks, but it was not until the announcement of a reduc- ton of the dividend on Reading first preferred that the weakness of the whole market became acute. Prices broke all around to well below last night.
 A disturbing influence was the report of a decrease in net incomes of Atchi- son for July of s345,111, which was more effective on account of yesterday s heavy speculation in that stock. The unfavorable character of the weather bureaus weekly crop bulletin and es- pecially in regard to cotton was dis turbing influence. All unfavorable in- fiuences were disregarded in the early attempts to put up Reading stocks on the ground that the end of the coal strike was near.

 Criminal charges arising from the celebrated Tracy case have been pre- scented against Floyd Johnson, a tele- graph operator at Creston. He has been arrested upon charge of forgery. the complaining witness being Con stable Charles Straub of Creston.
 About the time that the Oregon ban dit was killed near CreSton a New York newspaper telegraphed to that place to Sheriff Gardner, asking him to send a dispatch describing the end of the famous hunt and draw a sight draft upon them for $50. Johnson. it is alleged, suppressed the message and sent a dispatch over the name of Charles Straub, one of the Creston posse. He then. it is charged, forged Straub's name to the sight draft for $50.

THOUSAND LIVES
 IN DEADLY PERIL
Collision of Steamers in New
 York HarbOr
It Happened in Broad Daylight, Both Blowing Whistles of Warning. No Casualties But Both Vessels Badly Damaged.

New York, August 27.-In broad daylight and a bright sunshine a col lision, which might have resulted in a dreadful calamity, occurred in the New York harbor this afternoon between an incoming passenger liner and an out bound freight steamer. The steamship Liguria of the Italian Royal Steamship company, with over 1,100 persons on board, was run down in the Narrows by the British steamer Peconic of the Mediterranean and New York Steam ship company. bound out for ports in the Mediterranean.
 A succession of whistle blasts, just how blown, could not be learned, was followed by a tremendous crash, and the Peconic's bow smashed into the hull of the Liguria just forward of the fore mast. The Italians hull was cut to the waters edge and water poured into the aperture.
 The bow of the Peconic on the port side was stove in and the stem turned to starboard On board the liner al was confusion for a few minutes. bu Captain Montana restorGd order promptly and forced the steerage pas sengers over to the starboard side 1T order to bring the hole cut by the Pc comic above water. This move was SC successful that little water entered tn, l liner.
 l The PecOnic was damaged and sh;
 returned for repairs. The Liguria aftel an inspection of the passengers a qrorantine proceeded to her dock. There were no casualties on board tn, Liguria nor on the Peconic. The latte
 vessel was deeply laden.

GRAINS.

Chicago, August 27.-All the grain markets ruled weak today. Wheat opened weak under the influence of lower cables, favorable weather for cut ting, threshing and shipping wheat. The early trade was of dull and walt ing nature, prices slowly easing off. Corn turned weak and affecting wheat brought out stop-loss orders; Septem- Der broke sharply. The volume of busi- ness was not great and all day there was a heavy tone to the market. There were conditions, however, that at times made an impression on the cold and prevented a possibly heavy pressure from sellers. Receipts are falling off and grading is still very poor.
 September started ssc to fsc lower at 71Ac to 71c, slumped to 7015c, rallied to 71c, and closed weak %c off at 707sc.

him, and asked that there no lcnger be any personal feeling between them. He assured Pardee that he would give him the heartiest support during the campaign.
 The end came on the sixth ballot the third one of the day. It was with the greatest difficulty that the chair man could announce the result of the vote. The delegates were on their feet cheering, while above all sounded the chairman's gavel. vainly rapping for crder. When the vote was finally an nounced Hayes recommended that the nomination be made unanimous. This was seconded by the Flint delegation. and was adopted by the convention. Pardee was called to the platform and made a brief speech. Alden Anderson was then chosen as the nominee for lieutenant governor by exclamation.
 The final ballot stood: Pardee, SIS. Flint, 239; Hayes, 47; Edson, IS: Gage. 13; necessary to choice, 415. The pre- ceding ballot, the fifth. stood: Gage. SS5h; Pardee, 1421a; Flint. 2SO: Edson. fl; Hays, 5S. When Shasta county was reached on the last roll call the Gage people began to carry out their programme to vote for Pardee when it was made clear that Gage could not win. Governor Gage delivered almost the entire vote

Sacramento, Cal. August 27.-In full ago Colonel Dan Burns today delivered to Dr. George c. Pardee of Alameda the voting strength of Governor H. T. Gage, making possible Pardee's nCm- state convention. At an early hour this morning Burns and Pardee's man agers met at the Capital hotel in con ference. Burns endcavored to enlist the Alameda delegation in the Gage ranks. The Alameda people stood firm and insisted that Governor Gage had had fair trial, and that they were unable to make any further cOnces- sions.
 They insisted that Gage should with draw from the contest, and that the pledge of four years standing be re- deemed. Burns pleaded for a few more ballots, and it was agreed that nc combination would be made until after two votes had been taken. It is under stood that no further agreement was reached. and that the Gage people made an unconditional surrender.
 The change from Gage to Pardee was foreshadowed in the second ballot oi the morning, when Drury Melone CI the San Francisco delega ton arose anC asked permission to address the cen vention. There was a strong protes in the delegation, and he was told tC sit down.
 "I have a right, as an independen citizen," said Melone, "to explain my vote"
