NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of ths Days Dealings in All
tho Leading Stocks.

New York. July 2S.--The stock market.
this morning, showed the continuing eff
feet of the clearing of the atmosphere
which resulted from yesterdays and Fri
days failures ard the market became
quite generally strong But the brighter
it's fun force throughout the day. There
was rather n pronounced reaction at the
last which wiped out the most important
part of the days gains and carried few
of the grain carriers q point or more be-
low last night. New York Central was
rising at one time 21s over last night on
buying reputed to be of the best char
actcr. The sentimental effect on the mar
ket Of the buying of this stock and the
Pennsylvania ana the affiliated stocks IS
well as of the CoalerS and other high
grade railroad stocks was considerable
Atchison suffered most acutely amongst
the market leaders and it's drop to rs
below last night upset the late market
and led the whole list downward. The
improved sentiment, this morning, was
largely due to the understanding that the
closing out of hypothecated securities for
loans. both of the failed firms and of
others under pressure for repayment of
loans on. collateral for which the market
is not active, was to be suspended for the
present and TO await a more favorable
market Colorado Fuel was said to have
acquired the Utah Iron Co. and its price
shot up nearly a dozen points on a few
traders attempted to take profits on the
day rise. the market therefore gave way
and closed unsettled and irregular. 40
tive bond issues were generally decidedly
strong, but there We're some wide con-
cessions in the marketing of inactive
United States bonds were all unchanged

Mere Opinion,

A man hates to be caught looking at
himself in a mirror. Women are sell
dom caught doing anything else.
When q woman feels that it is neces-
sary to cut down expenses she wants to
begin by getting her husband to wear
cheaper clothes.
Many q man would be discouraged if
he knew how homely his wife appears
to some of the rest.
The man who does his work just to
get it done is generally kept pretty
busy wondering why they don't raise
his salary.
Virtue always wastes valuable time
when she gets to bothering over what
Vice thinks of her.
NO girl ever permitted a man to hold
her hand expecting him to stop at that.

rather for Interpretation according to
the intention of the negotiation of 1925.
Documents and maps put in to prove
these intentions, together with contrary
interpretations of both disputants, oc-
cupy most of the space in both sets of
cases and counter cases. In general
the United States agents may be said
to prefer the more historical and the
British agents the more strictly legal
method of disputation. That a contin-
uous strip OF territory along shore was
secured by Russia both parties admit.
The United States contends it. was all
land and all ten leagues wide from salt
water, the British contend that It Con-
sisted partly of land and partly of ter
ritcrial water that its breadth is fixed
by the SUBMITS of mountains nearest to
the shore. and that it is consequently
from about two to six miles wide.

Texas is not commonly thought of as
state where prohibition sentiments, or
Temperance sentiments in any FORM
have much of a hold on the public
Nevertheless. no fewer than 1870 of it's
246 counties have availed themselves of
the new county option law to vote for a
system of total prohibition. And the
end is not yet, for So others have par
tial prohibition and several others are
to vote on the matter very soon. The
81 counties which allow The sale of
liquor without restriction are those
containing The large cities. The Texas
experiment viii he watched With much
interest, and the friends of prohibition
which has lost number of states in
recent years, will get little encourage
ment there. Incidentally the Texas
movement gives us, by its enumeration
Of counties, a new appreciation OF the
vast area of the Lone Star state.

1t does not come as any surprise that
the Reliance is formally selected by the
committee to defend the cup against
Lipton's third challenger. The earliest
trials and all those which have fol-
lowed under varying conditions show
the new boat to be superior to The Con-
stitution and the Columbia by good
margin. There is a well grounded hope,
but no feeling of certainty, that the
coming races will show that il is also
faster than the Shamrock III. Some
magnificent racing is assured in any
event, ard the most ardent patriot
does not ask for more than that the
winds shall be equally fair.

Permanent Muscular STRENGTH.

There is this to be borne in mind in
these days when SO many young men
are giving so much attention to physical
development, in gymnastic and athletic
exercises, that there cannot be perma
lnent muscular strength where there is
not blood strength.

strength, promotes digestion and as

ardor than it celebrated its first, a

ard III scores of towns the celebrations

host successful. We hope the tide of
popular interest in it will not ebb in
the Bay State, as it plainly has in
Maine. The true success of Old Home
week, and its hope of perpetuation in

lies not in its official and formal OBJ

appeal to wandering sons and daugh-
ters to come back to the old homes in

1t seems that Vermont also has q
hedgehog bounty law, and like the
Maine statute its effect is to make it
appear that the state must have been
overrun by the animals, so numerous
are the noses and feet of the slain
which are produced by claimants.
When we are convinced" says the
Newport Express and Standard, that
495S foxes and 6G72 hedgehogs have been
killed in Vermont since the bounty law
went into effect, it will be when we see
the heads piled up and counted. 1t is
doubtful" continues that sKeptical con-
temporary, IF the whole state'7of Yer
mont contains that number of these
animals, living or dead Finally it
observes that Davy Crockett and his
coon skin have been duplicated to per
lection. That has been the way with
the Maine bounty. 1t has resulted in
claims for the killing of more hedge
hogs than il was believed were in eX
istence in all New England. The Yer
mont paper insinuates suspicion that
there has been eounterfeiting. Such a
thing has been known before in the
case of state bounties offered for crows,
bears ard such.
