A novel, but simple, protection
against tigers has been introduced in
to the collaborating districts of the
Hlmalaya mountains 1t is in the
shape of an ordinary cow-bell, as used
by the cattle herds in Switzerland.
The bell is said to have already saved
the lives of many cattle, for as soon
as the tigers hear it they wait no
longer, but instantly take to their
heels.

The receipts of the internal revenue

crease of more than $32, 1000 over the
receipts for January. The February
receipts this year: were not nearly so
large as those of last year on ac-
count of the decrease in all the re-
naming taxes and the adjustment
of many. Since February, 1902, the
documentary stamps brought into
use at the time of the Spanish war

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 16-The same in
fluences that have dominated the stock
market for some time past were again in
control today. The crop situation con
tinued to be the paramount issue and out
of the mass of sensational rumors and re-
ports recently circulated it is at last clear
that serious harm has been wrought to
crops in certain sections of the Northwest
From Georgia and Alabama came reports
today of damage to cotton by high winds
and heavy ranfalls Trading during the
early session was noteworthy, chiefly for
renewal of yesterdays selling movement
for Western accounts, Chicago taking a
leading part. As in the early week, the
steel securities were again conspicuous
for the heaviness, both the common stock
and the five per cent bonds were very
heavy, transactions for the first two
hours aggregating considerably more than
one half of operations for that period in
the bond department. Declines in the list
were general at the outset but the tone
soon changed TO relative steadiness. Atchi
son seemed to be taken up quietly and
Union Pacific was another one of the few
stocks that offered resistance to the early
selling pressure. Commission houses re-
ported little business and out of town
operations were doubtless curtailed by the
storm which caused serious interruption
to all telegraphic service. The spccialties
were almost entirely neglected, notable
exception being international Paper pre-
ferred which declined almost per cent.
below the last recorded sale. Brooklyn
Transit registered .at 2s per cent. loss,
L i
AT midday the market was almost at Il
standstill. A rally in no sense proportion
ate to the early decline soon followed on
buying attributed to important local in
terests. but support was still lacking in
the steel issues, the common selling lower
than in the morning, while the bonds CON
tinued to be pressed for sale. Sugar,
which has taken a place in the inactive
list, was sold for Boston interests, it is
said. The steady tone of the late after
noon was more attributable to short Gov.
ering than to any real buying demand.
The steel bonds more than regained the.
loss of the early part of the day.
The local money situation continues I'M

lower this morning, following the sharp
break in United States second SIS. The
tone improved later, but the closing was
somewhat irregular. Total sales (par
value) $1,61O,0OO.
