STOCK MARKET YESTERDAY.

The steel report published after the close of the market yesterday was con- siderably better than the forecasts that had been current indicated. A decline in earnings for the quarter of only sI,- 162, 900 was considered very creditable showing and points to the conclusion that business is better maintained than had been generally believed. Particu- larly satisfactory is the increase for the month of June. Chiefly because of this statement the stock market opened strong this morning and continued so for very considerable part of the day. Good weather reports also helped the cheerful feeling, but stocks again lack ed any decided initiative one way or the other. #
 Attention will now turn to the gov ernment grain report due next Friday. The reports of individual state agricul- ture indicate that the government fig- ures will be disappointing, but it must. be distinctly borne in mind that the same will not reflect the improvement in growing conditions that has prevail ed almost uninterruptedly since the first of July. It is probable that stocks will be nervous and quiet until after the government report, and if this is fairly good one it's influence compared with the recent improvement should set the market higher. A really bad gov- ernment report, however, would be dis turbing, to say the least.

NEW ORDERS. ISSUED
By Terminal Superintendent William
 Daniels.

By Terminal Superintendent William
 Daniels.
 Terminal Superintendent William Daniels has issued an order that here after the clerks, telegraph operators and watchinen at the Cedar Hill yards of the Consolidated road will have their time made up after July 10 by Yard master George Huston instead of by Freight Agent William E, Morgan, who has had charge of this work since the making up, of the Cedar Hill freight yards. The change is not a radical one and is made simply to facilitate mat ters, the work at the Cedar Hill yards becoming so great that it has been found necessary to make this change.
 The Cedar Hill yards contain about twent v three miles of track, which is in constant use and has three shifts of men on switchers. There are about fifty men employed there, the time be- ing made up by MT Morgan. These yards, as we'll as the Water street and lower yards, are under the charge of Superint endent Daniels.
 Another order issued yesterday by MT. Daniels is that all conductors and trainmen must not leave their trains when arriving at the Union station un- til all passengers have left the cars or been properly transferred. Those trains ending their runs here are not to be left until the yard crews have taken them
 The order further states that all train crews must assist in the transfer of passengers, and the rear brakeman must at night display light on the rear car when his train is standing in front of the Union station. Conductors are required t oremain with their trains ending their runs here until the yard crew are ready to take the empty cars to the sheds.
 It is believed that this order will be appreciated by the travelling public who have to make changes here and have but a few minutes to do it.

TEsTTlR5lDTI11'T;S TEszTiTElR5:lTI1'T;S STOCK MARKET.
Another Futile Aelsmpt to Awaken
 some Degree of Activity.

some Degree oi AchSA'y'
 New York, July S.--Professional trad CTS made another unayailing attempt to awaken some degree of activity in the stock market to-day. During the early market the rate of activity was equal to the expanded dealings of the latter part of yesterday. But the sub sequent relapse was into such a com plete stagnation that the total dealings for the day dropped back to about the low-record, level for the year. In the light of this mornings developments yesterdays late drive at United States Steel stocks seemed to have no other purpose than to provide better van- tage ground for an upward start. The statement of the corporations earnings for the quarter just passed, with it's de- crease of over $1,200,00O from the corre- spending quarter of last year, was no worse than had been expected and the slight increase reported in the June es- ttmated earnings, compared with June earnings of last year, was regarded as favorable feature. The, common and preferred stocks were lifted about a point on the score of this showing. In the active railroad list St. Paul and Missouri Pacific were the only stocks to gain as much as this. 2. The further engagement of $1,5O0,0 900 gold for export and the early sharp ral- ly in the cotton market seemed to have no effect in checking the rise in stocks. It was after cotton had reacted that the unresponsiveness of the stock mar ket to the stimulation of light profes- sional buying was perceived. Prices thereupon sagged off, and the whole market fell back into it's rut of stagna- ton. M
 X. The rally in the cotton market is re- garded as natural incident of the pro- cess of settlement to normal basis in that market, But until the settlement is completed the expected benefits to the financial and general business structure are not likely to become evil dent
 Further weakness in International Mercantile Marine on the curb helped to disturb sentiment. There was also q further slump in Standard Rope and TWine issues, but pretty effectual re- covery followed. New York exchange at Chicago declined 20 points to 30 cents discount. The disposition at that cen ter to recall funds and the complete cessation of any stock market inquiry. from that source gives rise to some troubled surmise in Wall street circles. It is significant of the prevailing dull-,, ness of business that many stock brok- craze houses are largely reducing their clerical forces. g.1.., s1r, ...
 Active railroad bonds were pretty steady, but high grade inactive issues are settling to a lower price basis. The New York Central general mortgage Sk's, which sold last week as low as par for the first time in their history, sold to-day at s7. Total sales, par value, $1,- 115,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

"Durine the progress of the improve

work. The contracting company after
yainly endeavoring to persuade Shepherd to
revoke his order of suspension, employed
an ex-United States senator of natfonai
reputation residing in the west, to use MS
endeavors. That gentleman wrote to Shep-
herd reminding him Of their pleasant &C
quaintance during his term of service, ana
saying that he would very much dislike to
have those relations disturbed, but he IN
sisted that his clients be allowed to go on
with their work. and remarked that there
had been q great deal done In the District
that would not bear investigation. The
governor replied to him that he also re-
called with pleasure the friendly relations
which had existed between them and would
regret to see them disturbed, but that the
contractors who had employed him in their
defense would not be allowed to go on with

had been stealing in the District under
color of employment by him he would help
to bring them to the bar of justice and de-
sired to have 1t done at once. The ex-
senator's letter and Gov Shepherds letter
book containing copy of his reply were laid
before the committee. Referring to this
very matter, after hearing Shepherds testi-
mony, Senator Thurman of Ohio who was
the chairman of the Senate side of the joint
committee, said to me: Shepherd is one
of the most remarkable men I ever saw.
If these District people had let him alone
he would have had the government paying
the whole expenses of the District by this
time instead of one-half.'
Complete Vindication.
Shepherd was completely vindicated by
the investigation. Every witness hts
enemies named was rigidly examined. Their
testimony covered twenty-five hundred
pages. and nothing in 1t pointed to any act
of Shepherds for which he could even be
criticised !" 80

BARRIERS TOOL KIT.
anvestment Necessary Is Smaller Than That in Any Other of
 the Skilled Trades.

Considering his earning canaoi+v the barber perhaps invests fewer dol lars in the tools of his trade than does the craftsman in any other line of skilled work. If he be proprietor anfk nave to furnish his shop, the situation Is different, but as a journeyman he is not burdened with an iota of the weight of tools that belong to the car penter, plumber, stonecutter, cabinet maker, and kindred trades. Half a dozen razors, two pairs of shears. a hone, strop and mug and brush equip him for position anywhere. says the Chicago Tribune.
 As for the razors, six of them at s1 .sO apiece, providing that each be good will last him for his lifetime, and. per haps for the lifetime of his son. who may take up the same trade. A razor with blade only one-fourth of an inch wide has not nearly served the limit of its usefulness. Sometimes if may shave only ten faces and need a honing; at another time it may shave 40 faces and still be in good shape.
 As for the shears, the two pairs at a cost of $1.50 may be counted on to last 30 years in a metropolitan barber shop having good trade. Cutting the hair from an average of Is heads a day, pair of shears needs to be ground I about once a month. The work of the l grinder finally wears out the shears by shortening the blades rather than wearing the blades too thin to cfuac.@ hone is bought for lifetime. and l a. strOD may last for 0O vears A I,,,,, s1, may last dozen years, and the mug for 100 if it is not broken. Altogether a barber with the salary of one week might easily equip himself for the oo. equation of lifetime
