that the issues of short time railroad notes
bearing high interest rates have served to
divert good deal of money from what
may be termed the regular Wall street
channels OF investment At the same time
such bond isues as the Cuban and Jap
anese and Russian loans have absorbed
money that would otherwise have been
available In the general stock market.
The rate Of interest yielded by such In
vestments Is evidently looked upon as more
attractive than the stock market can offer
when all the conditions are taken into ac-
count. The bond list. generally speaking. is
also relatively more active than the range
OF stocks. 1t Is these tendencies which
explain In part the existing dullness In
Wall street. and to this is added q general
cause and that Is the inactivity which IL
usually characteristic of a presidential
election year.

The bidding for telephone bonds advanced

there was no trading.
The disposition to trade was evidently
limited, as was indicated by the near ap
proach of the bid and asking price of sew.
eral of the securities. One hundred and

stock and 1222 was the asking price. Fol
Gas the bid was 57A, while the stock wai
offered at one-eighth advance.

Energy Wasted After business Hours

From Success IB, 70
A great many people dissipate more en-
ergy between sbhez time when they leave
their work at hishtsgnd when they return
to It in the morning, than they expend all
day in their vocations. though they would
be shocked and offended II any one were
to tell them SO. They think that physical
dissipation Is the only method of energy
sapping. But men and women of exem-
plary moral hibits' dissipate their vitality
in a hundred ways. They indulge in wrong
thinking; they worry; they fret: they fear
this, that, and the other imaginary thing;
and they carry their business home with
them. and work as hard mentally after
business hours as during them.

Worked All Night on Bridge.

In the glitter Of arc lights, the q lick
er of lanterns and the fare of torches
"a scene of unusual activity prevailed
last night at the bridge, where opera.
tions were under way all night. Wir-
ing was done yesterday and an electric
light was placed over the first pier in
order to make night work possible.
Over twenty-five men were engaged,
all working swiftly with the common
purpose of getting the pier beyond the
danger point before rain sets in and
causes another freshet that might do
more damage. b.
+ The steam concrete mixer was made
ready for work during the day and at
night was turning out the concrete as
fast as the stone and cement could be
wheeled to it and dumped in. The con.
crete was being thrown into the ex-
oavation at the pier with great speed.
Tho first of it was dumped in at the
pier about O'Clock in the evening. 1t
is hoped to have the foundation COM
pleted before today ends. Then as soon
as the stone rises few feet there will
be no further cause for apprehension.
To reach rock bottom excavation had
to be made to great depth. in fact
three feet below the foundation of the
old pier. James Barry, who dir
ects the work, stated last night that a
splendid bottom has been struck, al
though it took hard labor to reach it.
