LETHARCY IN STOCKS
MOVEMENT OF PRICES Is MAR

Securities Which Are Influenced by
Special causes-Northern Securities
Goes Up Four Points.

NEW YORK, Aug. dealings were
so small and the tone OF the trading
was so Indifferent that little signif1-
canoe could be attached to the move
ment of prices, which was very narrow
and sluggish, except in a few ind1vid-
ual stocks influenced by special causes.
There was selling of Rock Island in
duced by the criticisms of the pro-
posed refunding bond issue. Peoples
Gas rose more than a point on the dec
laration of the regular quarterly dIv1-
dend. There was gain of a point in
Mexican Central on rumorS of the TAX
ing over of a large block by private
agreements. North American had the
benefit of the purchase by a promi-
nent banking house of the holdings of
one Of the firms which failed last week.
The market was almost wholly made
up of such scattered movements.
The decision in favor of the North
ern Securities Of the suit brought
against it by the state of Minnesota
caused APPOINT jump in that stock
on the curb, but the response in the
general market was barely perceptible.
Bank Statement Analysed.
The increase in loans reported by
the bank statement was of more exact
nature as much had been made by the
speculative element Of supposed
heavy contraction to be shown. 1t IS
evident that the repayment Of the
Pennsylvania notes, which was ex-
pected to reduce the loan account of
the banks, has been made in part to-
the trust companies. The call for pay
ment of 100000 on the international
Mercantile Marine Underwriting and
of $3,500,000 on the Louisville & Nash
vile bond underwriting had to be pro-
yided for.
Bankers also report that there is
growing up a large seasonable demand
for mercantile credits. 1t is intimated
Furthermore that there has been very
large loans to trust companies during
the week The weeks stock market
liquidation has been admittedly very
heavy, and the above reasons are ad-
vanced to explain why the llquldatfon
is not reflected in the loan item of the
Associated banks.
Buying as Well as Selling.
1t must be remembered also that
liquidation involves buying as Wellfas
selling, and some of the banks have
been taking up stocks for their Gus
toners at what they consider advan-
tageous prices. The selling ON lne
bank statement was not pursueA and
the market steadied and closed life
less.
Prices of stocks have recovered
somewhat in this weeks markets and
sentiment has improved on the whole.
The bond market. showed some
breadth and the usual active issues
moved irregularly in sympathy with
stocks. Among dormant investment
issues with preceding transactions
dating some time back, transfers were
effected only at wide concessions.
United States IS have declined l, and

Couldn't snub Her.

Miss Pauline Aston, by all accounts. Is
a true daughter of her father, William
Waldorf Aston. the man who gave up his
citizenship to become subject to the
British sovereign. Nothing pleses her
more than to snub aspiring Americans
who happen to cross her social path. Miss
Astor seems to have full appreciation Of
the fact that her father Is worth some

tell of a woman who met Miss Aston

was an active and excited market all

saw that there was no hope for it and
came in On the buying side. There was
much ON which to advance the wheat and
it was legitimate advance, except for the

which were resultant only from covering
of badly scared shorts and did not repre-

HURLED Law MAKING.

AS usual. as the time for adjourn
ment approaches. the senate finds itself
crowded for time to dispose of the mass
Of legislation which has accumulated
upon It's calendar. Only by ingenious
contriving and swapping of favors
win it be possible for a senator to get
his bills before the body for considera-
ton. Fifty, a hundred. or two hundred
bills viii have to die on the calendar
BY and by will come the foods of bills
from one house to the other. The alb
surd spectacle of passing an omnibus"
bill will have to be repeated to get the
work done and the usual number of
meritorious bills viii never receive at
tention.
Perhaps there is no use objecting to
the established customs which prevail
in Kansas Legislatures 1t is the right
of every free born American legislator
to write and present bills and every
bill is entitled to consideration in it's
order. And this condition of things
will maintain so long as legislatures
are made up of human beings with
human failings for notoriety.
After all Kansas may console itself
in contemplation of the fact that her
legislature isn't half so bad as Penn
sylvania's. And there are others with
which it compares favorably.

1t is evident that the talk about the
removal of Eugene F. Ware, United
States pension commissioner, was Who'll
~ without foundation An idea of the
esteem in which he is held in Washing
ton may be secured from the following
editorial which appeared in the Wash
ington Star:
Among the officials selected by Presi-
dent Roosevelt with special regard to
fitness and ability over any other con-
siderations Pension Commissioner Ware
has, by his successful performance of
he difficult duties of his Office. notably
justified the president in his choice.
Just in point is the latest change in
the organization of the bureau, rear

which discloses the results of the COM
missioner's close study of Office condi-
tons and his appreciation of the needs
of the service.
The business of distributing the gov
ernment's bounty to its worthy servitors
in time of war becomes no whit less
sentimental because it is conducted with
due regard for fairness to the tax
payer. It is possible to be just to both
the government and the veterans.
It is possible, furthermore, to facili-
tate the work of adjudication. which is
considerably in arrears, without involving
the danger of oarelessness in examina-
/ ton of claims If congress would draw
stIieter line in the enactment of pri-
vate pension bills and grant bounty by
this method only to those who actually
deserve it but are prevented by acct
dents or death or inability to collect
necessary evidence from proving their
claims in due form. the pension office
administration would be even more eff
hcient and prompt. Commissioner Ware
has proved that it is possible to conduct
a great government bureau on business
principles. with fairness to employees ane

convenience could be saved. Moreover.
the motor cars could be run at times
when expenses could be saved by shut
ting down the power house. such as late
at night and early in the morning.
The building Of a car that viii carry
its own power and can run at a rapid
rate may have an important and unex~
Dected effect on the interurban lines.
The latter secure much traffic lost to the
steam roads because of their ability to
run cars frequently and to make stops
at short intervals. If some Of the regu-
lar railroads could put motor cars upon
their tracks to handle local passengers
they could enter into very active compe.
tition with the interurbans. In fact they
could transform themselves into inter
urbans. The motor car has long been
awaited. 1t will find a ready welcome il
it works satisfactorily.

Come. little babe. to my waiting arms!
FOndly my heart viii welcome you,
Come, and perchance you'U I'LL my soul
Full of song, as he used to do
Whose plaintve voice ] hear no more.
Who. from the dawn till day was done,
Filled my heart with a joy untold,
Then went away, my little one.
But when 7 hear your voice. my child,
And when see your laughing eyes,
1t may be that. in anguish wild,
I shah greet you. my babe. with cries
yelling up from heart whose plea
Is for dream, if nothing more,
Bringing my lost babe back to me
Back, back, back from that mystic shore.
Your little fingers I shall love
Oh, but another hand I'll see,
And shall yearn for that hand once more
Placed in mine as it used to be.
While dear laughing eyes looked up to
mine.
And a loved little form crept near my
heart.
And o, little babe. as I kiss your lips,
Bitterest tears from my eyes win start
Come. little babe, but be not like him!
There is a place in my heart for youi
Leave to my memory little jim
AS he used to be and he used to do.
And dear little babe, if your touch brings
bacl-
Longings greater than I can bear,
Oh may 7 find the path to peace
Still more oft in the hour Of prayer
