LONDON DISPLAYS LITTLE
INTEREST IN DISTURBANCES

London. July 25.-Comparatively little in
the liquidation In the New York market,
which is believed likely to clear the at
mospherc
The American holdings of the British peo-
pie are insignificant and. as a matter of
fact, there has been much selling recently
and profits were reaped from the falling
prices in New York.
A strong feeling prevails that the level
of prices has been reached, which caused
this morning an advance in Americans and
n consequent better tone of the market At
the opening the general average price was
81 above parity, with some trading on New
York orders. Isaac Seligman said:
The market here has been regulated
by New York. As an indication of the i'm
portance of the New York market. a fact
may be cited which is strongly believed in
that nearly all the European financial
markets are regulated by the tone of New
York.
New York is rapidly becoming the finan-
cial center Of the world. For all that. I
am afraid they have been OVERRIDING II.
THE state OF the market there is simply
the natural result OF the oyerSpeculat ton
and the ovcrfinancing Of the last three
years. 1t is very difficult to say when the
bottom will be reached: but If it was known
exactly how many weak pools or cliaues
still exist. 1t would be possible to prophesy
with more assurance.
Eve will have series OF fluctuations
yet, 1 think. The situation here is quite
sound, but the market is also suffering
from the losses in mining ventures, and
from the effect of the three years African
war. from which It has not yet recuperated.
Now there is new agitation the tariff
question. which tends to unsettle business
peoples minds"

Interested, Are Weak.
BROKERS STILL ARE NERVOUS.

James r. keene Declines
to Make Il Statement.

New York, July 25.-In spite OF rumors
that further failures were likely to occur,
the stock market to-day showed a better
tone than had been anticipated.
The opening was rather excited on heavy
dealings with prices in most cases higher
than yesterday. The Improvement did not
hold, however, and in a few minutes prices
were declining all around.
The first sensational breaks occurred In
Rubber Goods Manufacturing shares. the
common breaking points on a first sale of
1000 shares at 12i. followed Immediately by
one OF 5000 shares at the same price The
preferred opened at 81, a decline of 10
points since yesterday. This was one OF
the companies in which Talbot ]. Tay-
Tor and James Il. keene were heavily in
,nrested.
The chief stock with which the Taylor
interests were identified was Southern Pa
cific and this developed further weakness
to-day right at the start. After opening
up |. 1t ran off sharply, affecting the rest
Of the list, and causing recessions of to 3
points in many standard issues.
The particular weakness of Reading at

Stow people were identified were steady

very heavy sales. These shares held fairly

GATES PHILOSOPHICAL.
John W. Gates took a philosophical view
of the situation. but would not enter into
a discussion of affairs His son. Charles
Gates. when asked what he thought of
present prices and II they had reached bot
tom, replied:
"If knew. I'd have all the money In the
United States
DO you expect any moro failurcs?' Mr..
Gates was asked.
We'll. now, cannot discuss that point a.

put on record that the ring for the mo-

The ring is known to have been lost
twice before. Among the state papers pre-

BOUGHT OFF WALKING DELEGATE.
Another member of one of the large build
ing concerns related this instance of his
own experience:
"A year ago | was surprised one morning
when I visited one of our largest contracts
10 find that $50 men had been called out on
the building. l made an investigation and
found that a union paperhanger had drilled
a hole in an iron window casing. and the
walking delegate of the inside ironworkers
had come on the scene and ordered the
strike. He stated that 1t was the work of
the iron men 10 drill thc hole.
THE men remained out several days;
costing me considerable money on account
o. the delay and had to pay handsome
waitiug-time assessment besides. For the
last three years particularly. our concern
has been kept busy meeting complaints or
this character. Some of them were so alb
surd that it became at times almost i'm
possibie TO keep ones temper. but. in or
der to keep our work going, we had to meet
them and pay the price each time.
There are builders in the city who have
made the practice of asking the walking
delegate the moment he appeared how
much he wanted. without wasting any time
in listening to sham grievances. and then
making the best terms possible
You ask IL there was no escape from
such conditions. No. if there had been. we
should have taken advantage of it. And
the worst feature of the whole situation is
lat the hardworking men In the unions do
not get any of the money obtained by their
so-called leaders in this way"

SonDsuds For Snakes.

There was considerable excitement
in the south part Of town Thursday
afternoon over the discovery Of den
Of snakes in Miss Ella Beckleen's yard.
For several days previous Miss Beck
leen had seen number of snakes near
her house, some Of which she killed.
Upon the afternoon named she discov-
cred q snake emerging from a hole
near the slough in the rear Of the yard.
Thinking perhaps there might be more
reptiles burrowed In the ground, she
called to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Olof
Beckleen, and other nearby women
to come to her assistance. Together
with various weapons Of destruction
they started out to wage war upon
the snakes. They carried tub Of hot
soapsuds, which they poured into the
hole. and the excitement commenced
sooner than the women anticipated.
The bot water had done its work
we'll, and the snakes fairly erawled
over each other as they emerged from
the hole. Th way those women -four
lshed their hoes and clubs, with which
they were we'll armed, as they chased
the reptiles about the yard, caused
passershy to stop and wonder what
was going on. But the ladies were
brave, and when the conflict ceased
and an inventory was taken they found
they had killed ten snakes.-Avon Qll.)

Austria's State Secrets.

The Austrian imperial archives have
been lately conveyed from the Hofburs
to the great house built for them adj.
joining the Foreign Office. They will
later on be opened for public inspec-
ton, from the most ancient documents
down to those Of 1910. The rooms con-
tanning the secret archives are Of IRON
work, each story being completely sep
arated from the next one, so that
neither fire nor water can penetrate.
Hose supplying abundance of water IS
fixed in every direction, the windows
can neither be melted by fire nor de-
stroyed by blows, and the ornamental
ironwork before each window can be
unlocked in case Of emergency.
It is remembered when Napoleon
Bonaparte invaded Austria and estab-
lished himself at Schronbrunn, with
what terrible haste the secret archives
were carried off to Budapest, to the
Ofen stronghold, these being the first
things secured when all else was left
Among the iron cases stands a plain
brown wooden box. which will not be
opened for fifty years.
It contains the letters and papers of
the late Crown Prince Rudolph, hur'
riedly collected at Mayerling on the
day of the disaster, and placed in box

The June "Smart Set"

The June number of The Smart Set
opens with a novelette, by James
Branch Cabell, entitled, THE Hus-
bands Comedy" The story is strik-
ingly distinctive, and as clever as fic-
ton may be.
Among the sixteen short stories OF
the number, the most important are,
The Diary of Dewdrop," an exquisite
idyl of Japan, by Onoto Watana;
The Artful Arabella," an ingenious
and intimate narrative OF an episode
at true house-party, by Margaret
Vinton Hamilton, and "a Man, q Horse
and & Girl" strong story OF the
plains, By Molly Elliott Seawell. A
high standard of excellence, as we'll as
CT variety, is attained in the other
stories of the number, among the con-
tributors being Lady Colin Campbell,
Robert C. V. Meyers, Zoe Anderson
Norris, Richard D. Ware, Juliet Wilbor
Tompkins and Ethel Sigsbee Small.
The verso maintains that merit
which has won for The Smart Set Its
literary prestige. The poems of the
number include Edgar Fawcett, Victor
Plarr Frank Dempster Sherman. Char
lotte Becker, William Hamilton Hayne,
Elsa Barker, Theodosia Garrison, Clin-
ton Scollard, Minna Irving, Frank Roe
Batchelder and dozen others.
The humor throughout is of the best,
and there is, too, an essay, "The
Passing of the Aristocrat," by Eliza:
beth Duer, which is Of unusual inter
eS;
