mand is of special interest in its bear ing on the exchange situation. The easier tone in to-day's exchange mar ket was largely due to the appearance in that market of bankers finance bills which are connected with borrowing abroad. The foreign banking houses in New York also are an important source of supply for funds in the time money market. Rates for time money and commercial paper continue very firm. Many rumors are still prevalent of ef- forts making by large industrial cor porations to secure temporary loans. The recent heaviness of New York Gen. tral, which was a depressoing factor for a time this morning also was to be explained by the petition to the stock exchange to list ss.OOO.OOOO additional general mortgage bonds. These are in connection with the continuing opera tion of the company's refunding plan. Lake Shores statement of earnings for the June quarter showing decline in surplus to s75s.21s compared with $l.- 777,s54 for the corresponding quarter of last year may also account for the re- cent depression of New York Central. The weekly crop bulletin was counted bullish on cotton and bearish on corn and wheat. Some old rumors were re- vived of coming control of Tennessee Coal by the United States Steel Corpor- ation but without confirmation. Confi- dence in the copper trade outlook was assigned as a cause for the strength of Amalgamated Copper.
 The bond market was dull and steady Total sales par value $S15,oOO.
 United States bonds were all un- changed on the last call.

The tendency towards improvement seemed due to an attempt by the shorts to cover contracts for the decline, which did not show the tendency toward be- coming as profitable as was expected. The market as whole looked and its refusal to decline suggests moderate movement in the other direction.

MIR. POWERS REAL ESTATE VEN
 TTIRE

Comedian James T. Powers, the shin ing star in "A Princess of Kensington" company, owns ten lots in one of Seat ties suburbs, or rather one of Ballard's additions. Several years since Mark Smith, the noted thespian, visited Seat tie and bought twenty lots and met Powers in Chicago and unloaded ten of them on him for $900. Since then "Jim- my's" lots have become famous among the profession. In moments of confi- dence. and Powers takes nearly every fellow actor into his confidence, he has told them how he was prospective millionaire; that he had valuable prop erty in Seattle, the queen city and me- tropolis of the northwest: that when he wished to retire from the business of comedian he would sell half his lots and, with the money erect ten story buildings with mansard roofs on the balance. Powers always insisted on the rnansard roofs. He admires the ornate in architecture. The profession began to look with awe on Jimmy as one of the Jay Goulds or the profession. George O'Brien, the ex-newspapernan, now capitalist, knew Powers as a boy. They met and Powers said:
 George, let's go out and look at my property
 You mean those lots you told me about when was in New York last sunmer?" -.
 Yes: I expect they're about ripe for business blocks" said the comedian.
 ''I'll go you" said George. ..
 They're in Blanks fourth addition to Blanks addition to Ballard"
 The cars were boarded by Powers and a number Of "A Princess of Kensing- ton'' company. On arriving at Ballard several of the oldest citizens were consulted, and they knew nothing about the addition. After two hours and a half Of inquiry real estate man was found who knew about where the addi- tion was located. It was somewhere a mile and half to the north of Ballard, he thought
 Then the trio started out to walk to the addition. Every man. woman and child met was asked where Blanks fourth addition to Ballard was located. Before asking the question, Powers would bet the cigars that the party about to be questioned knew where the addition was located.
 Tn this way Powers lost just twenty seven bets.
 The party f1oundered over logs, got stuck in 3 sauagmire. and were in an awful plight. Finally a man was en- countered who knew where the addi- ton was. He pointed it out to Powers It was just about mile and a half away from where they were standing They had travelled in the wrong direc- tion. -"It's right over there."
 ."I'veSseen the promised land and am satisfied. said Comedian Powers, "but shall not put up any business blocks this year. can't afford to run down my own propertys but if was vel hee1ed financially I'd swear at those ten lots 50 hard that it would cause the very trees to curl up and lay down and die My dream of wealth is over Please excuse these tears.' Then the party hurried back to the city, but the curtain did not rise till S:20. that even. ing, because MT. Powers was late The above incident explains why Powers was late.
 But the lots owned by MT. Powers turned out we'll and are now easily worth twice what he gave for them.

What is the most popular advertised med icine in the world? A few years ago it was supposed to be brand of pills made in Eng year. This record is badly beaten, however, to-day by the famous American family med icine, Casearets, Candy Cathartic, which are selling at an average of over 30,000 boxes every day, over million boxes a month, and over twelve million boxes a year This appears to be evidence of overwhelming pop. ularity, the most noteworthy on record.

DUE TO A FALSE RUMOR

Pittsburg. Oct. 14.-On 'rumors that
a receiver was to be appointed for
the Crucible Steel company the pre-
ferred shares of the stock of that COM
pany dropped $l2 share at the Pitts

As soon as the officials of the COM

denied it and the result was better

For a time there was intense excite

great efforts made to sell, but in spite
OF the offerings the total sales were
little over 1900 shares of the pre-
ferred, the price declining from SAT to

the latter would acquire control OF

New York, Oct 14.-Robert E. Jen-
