New York, Aug. ia considerable
Failing off in speculative interest was
che noticeable fact about to-day's stock
market. The volume of dealings con-
+racted and the fluctuations in prices
we're narrower and more sluggish. The
decline in activity reduced the de-
mand for stocks and resulted in a
heavy undertone, without any marked
pressure to sell.
The general action Of the market
was still much the same as for the
psst previous days. The spread Of the
price war in the steel trade failed to
cause any wide movements in the
nrtces of securities, but it was the
support for Steel.
United States Steel preferred was
evidently supported and it's decline
thus limited to Is, but the heaviness of
that stock proved of marked sympa-
thetic effect. Sugar was still an I'M
settling influence by its further recess
sion. The most effective sustaining
factor early was the large demand for
Pennsylvania, which carried it to 1241z

long decline reported after the new

The promises Of Miss Helen Gould
to pay $4,000 for macadamizing a new
road in the town in the Catskins
where she has her summer home re-
calls the case recently mentioned by
Col. Higginson of a city millionaire e,
the size of whose property bewildered
the tax officials Of the small New
England village which he chose to
make his residence. Finally as a
working basis the great man sugg ested
that instead of figuring out his tax,
they should send all the bills of the
village to him to be paid. and the ar
rangement proved satisfactory all
round. Col. Higginson may have devel-
oped the story slightly to suit his pur-
poses, but IL illustrates very well the
dimensions Of a modern rich man as
compared with an ordinary village.
The cost Of running II would be little
more than the expenses Of another
summer place.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Wheat Market and Strikes Have At
fected Confidence.

lCCtCu
New York, Aug. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade to-mor-
row will say:
Confidence in continued improve
ment of trade has been somewhat I'M
settled by sensational events in the
wheat market and the lack of har-
mony between labor and capital 1t
is becoming evident that estimates of
the wheat crop must be reduced, al
though other agricultural news is much
better than usual. Insofar as the pur-
chasing power of the farmer is con-
cerned, prices have risen so sharply
that any loss in quantity promises to
be made up, but this obvious fact is
not appreciated by those dealers who
are making less preparation for future
trade.
Some disappointment is also felt by
those who counted upon an early re-
sumption of activity in builing opera
tons and other industries hampered
by labor controversies. Otherwise,
news of the week has contained much
of an encouraging nature. Railway
earnings thus far reported for the first
week in August show a small gain OF
Ia per cent, as compared with last
years figures, whereas, recent preced-
ing weeks showed more or less loss in
comparison with 1903.
A few small reductions in prices of
cotton goods are made, notably in
leading lines of bleached muslins, and
these changes produced some weak
ness in the tone of other departments
of the primary market, although list
prices, as a rule, remain unchanged.
Thus far the policy of buyers has
not changed, the general disposition
being to await developments in other
lines.
Failures this week numbered 22e in
the United States, against 23s last
year.

Tuskegee. March 24-(Special)-Ralp C. Armstrong; convicted of the murder of his cousin, Miss Allie Armstrong, ana in jail awaiting the result of an appeal to the supreme court committed suicide in his cell this morning by hanging himself with his leather belt
 The deputy sheriff carried his breakfast to him and visited him again thirty min utes later when he discovered the tra- gedy Several letters were found develop ing the fact that Armstrong has made sev- eral previous attempts at suicide with morphine, ground glass and by swallow ing match heads. Some empty morphine bottles were found in his cell. The body was taken to Auburn tonight, where 1t will be inferred.

1 NO. 40 SHAFT MAKES
 VERY FINE RECORD
MINES AT PRATT CITY TURNING OUT QUANTITIES OF COAL, AND NO. 10 PRODUCED 1000 TONS YES TERDAY.

Pratt City, March 2L-(SpeciaL)-At No. 10 shaft of the Pratt City mines, now being operated by the state, 1000 tons of coal were mined yesterday. This is con- sidered a record breaker as it is one of the largest daily outputs that the mine has ever made. The amount of coal mined is being constantly increased.
 All the mines in the district are oper- ating on full time and the records are by far better than they have been at any period during the past year. Next Satur- day will be general pay day and in ae- cordance with the custom of the miners all the mines will be idle for half day Saturday.
 At No. 6. the mine that has had so much improved machinery installed in it during the past twelve months is surpassng the predictions of the most sangulne. The Improvements consist largely of a new electric haulage system. This is an in- novation in southern mining and was looked upon with doubt by many people. When first put into operation it looked as if the system would prove a failure. The plan being a new one it had to go a thorough test During the first few weeks a man and two or three mules were kill ed by the trolley wires and some people predicted that the project would h a fail UT. but after the miners became accus- tomd to the system and adjusted them selves to it they became delighted with the plan. and now it looks as if in a few years all the coal mined in this district will be hauled out by electric motors Funeral Next Sunday.
 The funeral of Sampson Allsop. one of the pioneer citizens of the county, who died last Tuesday night at Wylam wifi take place next Sunday morning. The re- mains. now being prepared for burial by Sam Foley. will be inferred in the Pratt City cemetery. The Knights of Honor, of which the deceased was a member will meet at the hall Sunday morning at
