the celebration of the night was carried out
to the letter. In the Warner Memorial

Sunday school and their parents. several
hundred in all, were engaged in the pursuit
of quaint and laughable games. Judging
from the enthusiasm with which the older

entertainment, was but a mere pretext to
give to the older members of the church one

good condition. The statue has not yet been

NEW YORK, November 1.-The stock
market was slow to take notice today OF
the warlike preparations making at Glib
raltar. The holiday In London and the lack
of initiative from that quarter probably
accounted for the delayed influence of the

crying extras containing the report for
some time before prices were appreciably
affected in the stock market.
The early course of the market was up
ward in recovery from yesterdays sharp
drop and some substantial gains had been
established which held into the second hour.
The market then dropped slowly back TO
last nights level and then started a more
precipitate decline. and by the early after
noon the range of prices had fallen from
1 to 2Iz points below last nights level. Of
ferings of stocks were free In all quarters
of the list.
