 New York, Aug. 6.-Following g. weak, almost panicky opening, to-day's stock market suddenly reversed its course, substantial gains being registered by practically all the better class of secur- ities. The average of net advances were aboiu. 2 per cent. In some in- stances gains were much greater. New
 York Central led the active list with a net gain of s3s.
 The change of front, which occurred in the early afternoon, was doubtless due to several reasons, the most potent Of which was the good" buying which seemed to emanate from high quarters.
 There is little room for doubt that
 stocks were purchased freely to-day by insiders-the banks, banking houses. financial institutions generally and
 wealthy individuals because they seem- ed cheap. No Justification could be found for the report rather industrious fly circulated that the Vanderbilts, ! Rockefellers, and Harrimans with their

POOR PEACH. CROP.

New Britain, Aug. 6.-Josiah H. Mer- rirnan, owner of the large peach orchard at Shuttle Meadow. stated to the Post correspondent yesterday that the crop was failure all through the state. The total yield would not in his opinion ex- ceed 5000 baskets. The fruit was ruin- ed by the frost December 10, 1902. He said the only part of the state not af- fected was a narrow strip along the shore. The yield here was smaller than estimated earlier in the season. He said he had picked the first Greensboro peaches in his orchard this week. He had about fifteen baskets, whereas the tees should have produced 200.

CHICK WITH WOODEN LEG.

Harry Webb. Son of Attorney Webb, Performs Quite a Feat. Harry Webb, son of James H. Webb of Handerl, who is about twelve years
 of age, has been doing something in
 the line of surgical work during the
 last week. Some days ago, it seems,
 one of the chickens on his fathers farm lost one of it's legs.
 Harry hit upon the idea of replacing the leg which the chicken had lost with a wooden one. So he fixed the leg on the chicken and let it go The chicken seemed as much at home with it's im-
 provised limb as with the one that it had lost.

Rv Gllhert N CIaA

By Gilbert X Clay.
 New Orleans, June S.-The trade Is evi- dently becoming educated profiting by their thorough Investigation of the sta tistical situation and are now satisfied that much of the cotton coming forward of late was of too low grade for use and was merely forced in the market by the abnormal price. We learn from private sources that the demand from foreign countries for intermediate grades of cot ton continues at advanced prices, while the receipts of cotton at this port Is proved to be of ILc lowest order and not suitable even fo, the delivery on con- tracts. The spot situation remains as strong as ever. with an unsatisfed de- mand from foreign countries at other southern points. Sales, however, con- tine light, but with prices held steady
 The strength that developed in the new crop months today can be attributed to short and buying from the long account by those who consider them a purchase at the prevailing discounts, believing that prices cannot suffer any material decline in the late options until very large crop is assured, which the recent government report has dispelled all fear of. The course of the English market today clearly dem onstrated that they are thoroughly lm- pressed with the unfavorable conditions emanating from the south with more to come in the way of boil weevils.

able cotton conditions from now on can make up for what has been already lost. The expectation Is that tomorrow's bureau report will show its poor condition gen. orally and that Texas will report a good deal of damage by worms and possibly weevil. July shorts were covering on an active scale this morning and Wall street Is said to be very short of this month. The movement is very light but attracts little attention. Europe Is very short of cot ton and the certainty of a late fall move ment makes selling dangerous. Port re- ceipts today 2s00 against s40O last year. Cables were to 2 points higher for old and lower for the new erop.
