INERTIA IN STOCKS
BANK STATEMENT BRINGS A
SLUGGISH RECOVERY ABOUT
Reserve Item Is Great Surprise -
Movement Is Merely Fractional and
Not Maintained-The Close Is lrreg-
ular and Very dull.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Today's stock
market was almost inert throughout.
The appearance of the bank statement
caused a sluggish recovery from early
depression, but the movement was
merely fractional, and was not main
tanned, the closing being irregular and
still very dull. The reserve item In the
bank statement proved a surprise, the
decline in cash resources being report
ed at only $4,000 in face OF an appar-
ent outward movement of cash during
the week of between $3,000,0 600 and $4,-
100000. Bank officials were at loss to
explain the discrepancy, but some Of
them asserted that there had been con-
siderable receipts of currency from
Chicago and the West during the week
and the explanation was hazarded that
this movement might have served to
offset the heavy outgo to Baltimore and
Pfttsburg and the cotton regions.
The failure of the customary de-
mand from the West for currency at
this season has been the subject of
much comment in banking circles, but
that there should have been so consid-
cradle movement in the contrary di-
rection in the middle of October is
quite unprecedented. 1t was suggested
as possible that local trust companies
had made transfers of cash deposits to
the clearing house banks. 9
Reported Trouble in ST. Louis.
Londons uneasy feeling over the war
outlook in the far East had some slight
effect in the local market, and there
was repetition of rumors in circula-
ton for several days, which have been
as often denied, of an institution In
trouble at st. Louis. There was a de-
post of 100000 at the subtreasury to-
day for Geographic transfer to st.
Louis. The variety of the demand for
bonds was as conspicuous as for sew
eral days and the number of quota
lions on the tape exceeded in number
and variety those for stocks Tor a good
deal of the time. A recession to So in
United States Steel preferred was the
unsettling influence at the close.
There is general agreement in Wall
street that the stock market has offered
surprisingly good resistance to the de,
velopments of the week, which were
undeniably serious in their aspect.
The breadth and activity of the bond
market have been pointed out. The

Up to late houF this afternoon. as far

evening at meeting Of the striking MEM

erhood of Railway Freight and Baggage
Handlers OF AmeIiGf, ordering out the If
teen members Of their union, who, it is said,
still remain in the employ of the Adams
Express Company, In this city, had not
been obeyed by those to whom it was ad-
dressed. It was stated by an official Of the
company this afternoon that so far as he
knew there were no union men employed
by the company, and that If there were they
had completely ignored the request of their
union. --.--.-
Referring to the fact that the union had
called upon E. E. Greenwalt, president of
the brotherhood, to- declare a sympathetic
strike in every office of the Adams Express
Company throughout the United States, it
was stated by the same officer. that, so far
as the company Is aware, no such organiza-
ton as the Brotherhood of Railway Freight
and Baggage Handlers of America exists,
and that there VIII be no" general strike
among the employees of the Company.
At the meeting of the union, held last
evening at 514 9th street, resolutions de-
claring general strike In this city and
asking for a sympathetic movement in
every office Of the express company
throughout the country. were, adopted unani-
that none of the strikers had applied for re-
instatement, and that all will seek employ
ment in other lines of work. 1t was also
declared that all they asked was that no
man who asserts his allegiance to the union
shall be inundated by the express COM
pany officials. An increase In pay given to
the employees who did not strike Is regarded
by the strikers as an act Of retaliation.

MISPLACED ECONOMY.
Better Give Useless Clothes and Odds

From the Edinburgh Scotsman.
Why is it that SO many of us have such
mania for boarding up all sorts of useless
things, with the excuse that 'they are sure
to come in handy some day." I am quite
as bad as other women in this respect, and
It was only when turning out lot of old
ffnery the other day that the utter folly OF

away to a woman in my neighborhood who
has a large family of daughters. Probably
I shall recognize a blouse or skirt, posi-
bly, a hat of a few fashions back. when I
take my walks abroad. Well, / comfort
myself with the thought that, like Mother
Hubbard's cupboard of fairy lore, my boxes
and drawers are empty-of rubbish.
After all, don't think we women ought
to be blamed for storing up old things. We
do it for economy's sake. and with that
forethought which every one should pos
sess. Some of US are not too fortunate In
the shape of ready cash. and we think that
by putting this trimming on one side, and
these ribbons and laces carefully away, they
will come in very useful with which to trim
up a new hat or bonnet. But the day never
comes when women would rather not buy
new things instead of doing up old finery,
and many poor but thrifty girl or mother
of family would be sincerely grateful for
the odds and ends which are doing no good.

Daniel Mccarthy of Dallas, Tex. has FLED
a friendly suit in equity in the District SUI
preme Court against Harry Lee Rust, as
trustee, asking the court to decree con-
veyance to the former of premises III New
York avenue.
The property was formerly owned by john
Mccarthy, once a resident of this city, who
died in December, 1899. By his will he de-
vised 1t to Mr.. Rust in trust for the use
and benefit of his nephew, Daniel Mccarthy.
Mr.. Rust was given power by the will to
manage the property and to sell it and in
vest the proceeds If he should think proper,
but If he should not sell it then, at the end
of twelve years from the testatorS death,
he was required to convey it absolutely 10
Daniel Mccarthy. Mr.. Rust has managed
the property since the testators death, but
has not sold it.
The nephew, Daniel, being under no legal
disabilities, and being the only person bene-
ficially interested in the premises, now seeks
to get a clear title to the property free OF
the trust provisions of the will. He asserts
that the legal title to the land may now ne
in him by virtue of the statute of uses, IN
which event he asks the court to clear ms
title from the cloud cast upon 1t by the
trust provisions of the will; but he also
says that If this be not so he Is entitled to

by acceleration of the twelve-year period for
conveyance fixed by the will, and directing
the trustee Mr.. Rust, to now deed the land

e Westminster Gazette

From the Westminster Gazette.
Considerable amusement has been afford
ed the inhabitants of Cradock, Cape Col
ony, by a breach of promise case in colored
circles The members of the party-mostly
or pure white. Plaintiff, named Caroline
May, wore black dress with scarlet silk
blouse, and round her neck a gold chain,
which hung in loops to her waist, where 1t
was fastened with a sovereign pendant and
trlnkets. Defendant, fine, swarthy in
teiligent- looking fellow, bearing the name
of Andrew Africa, was attired in gray
lannels and spotless linen. with a corona
ton medal and ribbon on the lapel Of his
coat. The aggrieved maiden told the court
comfort and home for life. Defendant had
given her an engagement ring and arrang-
ed with her father as to the number of
cattle he was to pay for her. and she, at
defendants request, left the domestic sit
uation where she was employed. Africa
wrote her many love letters. Her mother
bought the. wedding dress and outfit. which
included the following articles: Plates and
forks, cups and saucerS, twenty pounds of
butter, six pounds of fat, butter pot, a
sugar pot, pictures and frames.
Defendant asserted that as his father
could not come to terms with the girls
father as to the number of cattle to be paid
the girl herself impatient at the delay,
broke OF the match. Without the consent
of both parents, according to native GUS
tom. they could not marry.
The resident magistrate accepted the de-.

He said the trouble was really between the

THE SCIENCE OF GIVING.
The Giving Of Money is Not Neces-

Prom American Medicine.
A woman Of wealth who has devoted her
life and power to philanthropic work thus
speaks of the uses and obligations of
wealth:
There Is one obligations upon all persons,
rich or poor. Spending money Is. only one
way of meeting our obligations. / have
known many consecrated men and women,
almost penniless. who carried on great
work for the Master. and they accom-
plished more real good than those whose
labor ended with the distribution OF wealth.
1T is not enough that we should distrib-
ute aims. We should be careful to see
that our gifts reach the proper persons
and are not placed where they will accom-
plish more harm than good. Many we'll
meaning people expend their money where
II really isn't needed. while they ignore
the urgent cases which they might discover
before their very eyes. They are not true
to their obligations. They are not COM
manded to distribute money. but to do good
to others. and their possession Of wealth
should enable them to do good largely.
ut isn't right that We should give to
unknown charities without investigation.
and yet to investigate will require many
hours perhaps" .s5a ~

by this noble woman. one that AL money
givers have not learned-that truth that no

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
In the early days of California. when its
mineral wealth had turned the eye of the
whole world in that direction, an enterpris-
ing American planted a small patch of
ground near San Francisco In fruit and
grain. He was the subject of much ridi-
cule among the pioneers. and one of the
men most prominent in mining circles
smiled derisively at the man who was try
ing to get money out Of the earth with a
spade instead Of a pickax. II wouldn't give
500 for all the crops that the Pacific coast
will ever grow are the memorable words
he said, and in this he only echoed public
sentiment. The sandy, semi-arid soil OF
California was regarded as unfit for culti-
would never be anything but mining
camp. Agriculture was out of question
The soil was poor and the rainfall deficient.
But the prophet, like most others mas
proved totally wrong. The mining inter-
ests of California have shrunk to small pro-
portions; agriculture now contributes most
of its wealth, and the state is one of the
richest in the Union in Its farms, produc-
ing in the census year crops valued at
$131. 690, 606 of the most varied character.
In his address before the immigration con-
vention recently held7here Prof e. B. Fer
ris, assistant director iof the branch expert
ment station at McN4fll, Miss, pointed out
how the same mistakefshad been made in
regard to the pinei lands Of the southwest.

Glaciers.
From the New York Sun.


The problem of piercing glacier by
means OF boring has at last been solved
with results of real scientific interest in ex.
periments made last August on a glacier
near Vent. in the Tyrol. At distance Of
about one and one-quarter miles from the
tip of the glacier. where its breadth Is 2.130
feet and the height Of its surface above
sea level $3.50 feet. boring in the middle
reached rock at a depth of 500 feet. Taken
along with measurements of rate OF move,
ment, surface melting and temperature the
experiment enabled the following conclu-
sions to be drawn: First-The temperature
OF the Ice is at the melting point through
out the whole mass on the tongue of the
glacier. Second-The bed Of the glacier Is
trough shaped. Third-The Ice moves more
slowly at the bottom than at the surface.
The bore holes were filled up with pieces
OF wood, which will serve for many years
to come as indexes of the rate of movement
and of surface melting.
