MARKET IRREGULAR
IN OPENING DEALINGS
Canadian Pacific Gains Six Points
and Then Reacts.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The stock mar
ket in the first hour was confused. ex-
cited and extremely irregular, a side
feature being a squeeze of shorts in
Canadian Pacific, which caused a sharp
advance to 126, as compared with 120 at
the close Saturday. The stock command
ed IS of l per cent for use and later the
premium eased off slightly and the stock
reacted TO about the opening figure.
1221e
The general list in the initial dealings
was quite erratic and some new low
record figures we're made. L. S. Steel
preferred touched 81, Sugar 109. Brook

ment, rallied 8 per cent and fell again to
near the opening prices. Union Pacific

After the first fifteen minutes Of bust
ness. when stocks had reacted somewhat
from the early recoveries. there was an
appearance of support in a number of
the standard shares. London was re-
ported a buyer in this market and this
fact. together with the announcement
that stock clearing sheets. had gone
through 20. X" made a favorable i'm
preston. The market has now steadied
with Z number of the principal railroad
issue showing net gains over SatuI-
days final figures.
Government bonds unchanged
In the first hour heavy covering Of
mission house orders and foreign buy
ing was also in evidence. The market
was nervous as the Canadian Pacific
incident caused some alarm on the part
of the advocates OF lower prices regard
ing the probabilities Of attack in other
directions where there is admittedly an
extraordinary short interest outstaad-
ing.

HAYES DENOUNCED
At NEW YORK MEETING
General Officer of Knights of Labor
Severely Condemned.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-John W. Hayes,
General Master Workman of the Hayes
faction of the knights of Labor, was
denounced by many speakers at the
meeting of the Central Federated Union
yesterday. and District Attorney Jerome
was condemned in resolutions for his
! prosecution of the assault case against
Samuel J. Parks. which was declared to
be case OF persecution.
Delegate Robinson of the Clothing Cut
ters' Union, who is financial secretary
of the central body and a general or
ganizer for the American Federation OF
Labor. called attention to the fact that
some time ago a charter had been
granted TO the Central Federated Union
by President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor. Besides the fed
Grafton unions in the central body. there
are Knights of Labor unions and indie
pendent organizations.
He held that those organizations in
the central body which were not repre-
sented In the American Federation
should either join that federation or
leave the central body. He said that
delegate of the knights of Labor had
come to the Excavators' Union and ad-
vised its members to leave the Ameri-
can Federation. and join the knights OF
Labor
George H. Warner. delegate OF the In
ternational Association of Machinists.
said that he understood when the char
ter was granted by President Gompers
Of the American Federation of Labor.
that the Knights Of Labor organization
would join the American Federation of
Labor. and that the central body should
come under the federation's constitu,
tioD.
Delegate Hanna. of the BIuestone Cut
ters' Union. said that the contention
would be unfair and absurd. He under
stood that there was TO be no line drawn.
and that knights Of Labor organizations
were to be allowed to remain II they
were not antagonistic to the American
Federation of Labor.
John w. Hayes. OF rather the ONCE
ne holds, that Of general secretary
treasurer Of the Knights of Labor, has
been bone of contention among the
members of the order for seven or
eight years.
The fight against him was begun at
the general assembly which met in
Rochester, n. Y, in 1895. Since then
1t has been continued not only at the
annual meetings of the order, but also
in the local courts
In the district courts the fight against
Hayes was waged for several years. His
opponents sought TO Dust him from Of
flee, but the courts sustained Hayes
contentious. and virtually established
him as general secretary treasurer of
the order OF knights of Labor.
Each succeeding year. however, the |
fight against Hayes has cropped up in /
the annual conventions of the order, |
but he always retained his position. For
the past three or fours years the two
factions of the order have ben holding
dual conventions.

Wall Street apparently has not reached
the position where it can look forward
to promising future. but elsewhere in
the country people who are engaged in
various lines of work are satisfied with
the present position of business affairs,

son a demand has arisen that the trust

their accounts. but while the suggestions
are praiseworthy there does not seem to
be much prospect they will bring about
the end desired. Furthermore, even if
the trust companies did furnish weekly

Chemistry of 81 Tear.

A tear from the eye Of a representa-
tive Of the Caucasian races is found to
be composed of water, salt, soda, phos-
plate Of lime, phosphate of soda and
mucus, From the eye Of an African
the elements composing the tear are
found to be the same as the above,
with the single exception Of the phos-
plate Of soda and with the addition Of
slight trace of ammonia. The Eski-
mos and the fishing Firms seldom shed
tears, but when they do chemists say
they are exceedingly salty.
The chemical elements in the Cauca-
sian tear arrange themselves into par
ticles that look like fish bones, those
from Il Negroes tear form a rude cross,

The Habit OF Decision.

The great thing in all education is
to make our nervous system our ally
instead of our enemy. 1t is to fund
and capitalize our acquisitions and live
at ease upon the interest of the fund.
For this we must make automatic and
habitual as early as possible as many
useful actions as we can and guard
against the growing into ways that
are likely to be observation-disclosures to
us as we should guard against the
plague. The more of the details Of
our daily life we can hand over to the
effortless custody of automatonism
the more of our higher powers of mind
will be set free for their own proper
man being than one in whom nothing
is habitual but indecision and for
whom the drinking Of every cup, the
time Of rising and going to bed every
day and the beginning of every bit of
work are subjects Of express volitional
elaboration. Full half the time of
such man goes to the deciding or re-
GREETING of matters which ought to be
so ingrained in him as practically not
to exist for his consciousness at all.
If there be such daily duties yet not
ingrained in any one Of my readers,
let him begin this very hour to set the
matter right.-From Psychology" by
Professor William James.

The Banks of NeXvfo % 81 ola nd.

The finest Goldfish in world are
caught on the banks Of NfoundlanG.
These banks have no connection With
the shores of the islands, from which
indeed the nearest is almost 100 miles
distant. They are really great rocky
heights rising from the bottom of the
sea. The great bank measures $40
miles from north to south, and from
east to west it measures in places 300
miles. On this bank the depth Of wa
ter varies from SO to $50 feet, but the
depth around it is from 10000 to $780,
600 feet
The fishing grounds-or ''cod mead
ows," as they are called-do not cover
the whole bank, but are about 200
miles long by CT broad. Though these
have been fished' for 400 years the cod
are as plentiful as ever. TO the east
Of the great bank lies the outer Or false
bank, where the sea is from 300 to 600
feet deep. The cod caught on the
banks are finer and larger than the
fish taken off the Labrador coast. This
is supposed to be due to the fact that
they have reached the age of four
years and upward, at which age their
habits lead them to feed on the banks
in preference to the shore, where the
younger fish remain all the year.
