ON WALL STREET.
Standard on Company is Doing Notb-

Private wire to Edw. L. C. s1ease & Co.
New York, August IO.-The market
just about held in the first hour, al
though it was irregular and some of the
rallies were not entirely maintained.
The belief that one big trader has been
caught short in canadian Pacific and
was forced to cover, to some extent
strengthened the market, especially as
Morgan and Hartman interests were
both credited with buying their special
ties. Whore larger interests in the street
have for the most port given fair sup
port, it IS noticeable that STANDARD Oil
people have not been doing much to pro

Traders Are Bsfogged.

New York, August lo.-Traders are
more or less befoggcd. The absence of
public buying is a mystery to them. The
really important story is that the banks
will request the trust companies to with
draw their deposits. If it be done, then
the trusts will Immediately have mil
lions of dollars to put out and this, in
turn, win eventually pull down the bank
loans. Canadian Pacific is likely to com
mand a substantial interest.

Bold dental office burglaries occurred
here Sunday afternoon and night, The
Office Of the New York dentists in the
I.eggett building and of DR.. j. S. Stone
on Main street were entered and articles
OF value were stolen.
Tie burglary At the office of.the New
york dentists, of which DR.. Hill IS Inans
aeer, was in broad day light, and was
very bold on that account 1t happened
about o'clock during the absence of Dr.
HiIl The burglar was seen by wit
ness from a near window, but nothing
was thought of the incident at the time,
as the person who saw the fellow thought
Il was some one associated with the of
fee. There is sufficient description Of
the fellow, however, to identify him
a large amount of crowns. gold, gol-
solder and personal effects were stolen.
aggregating IN value more than 500.
Entrance was effected by the use of a
skeleton key, and on that account must
have been done by professional Dur
glar There was no other possible way
to get in and the witness heard the fell
low unlock the door. Dr. Hill. later in
the day, returned and found the office
doors locked, just as he had left them,
when he went out He was greatly sur
priscd, however, to find the Office rooms
ransacked and the place i'll general dis
order. He Immediately concluded that
burglars had been there and made an in
vestigation to find that number Of nrti-
cIes had been stolen.
DIR: Hill says the burglar will be re-
quired to give an account of his being in
the office, if the goods are not returned
by Saturday noon next.
The burglary ut DIR. Stones office oc-
Cured some time during the night. The
doctor was last in his office irt o'clock
Sunday evening before the burglary and
at that time nothing had been molestcd'
90 far as he noticed. The burglary was
not discovered until Monday morning
when he opened his Office for the day
He found that the cabinet had been de-
nIeted of about $40 worth of gold plate
and foil. The burglar had unlocked the
lower part of the cabinet and stolen the
articles from one OF the drawers. He
then locked that part of the cabinet, a
well as the upper part, which Dr. stone
had left unlocked.
In all probability the same person bur

case of the burglary at the New HorF
