Stocks and BOndA

New York, Aug. 25.--The confused
state OF sentiment in the stock mar
ket today was manifested from the
very outset. The tone was irregular
throughout and trading was narrow
and professional. Interest naturally
conferred around Reading, which
opened at a fractional decline, but
speedily recovered. It's movements
during the day, however, were illus
trative of the markets general tone.
Following it's early recovery the stock
made a gain of / SIS, only to fall "a
points below its closing price of yes
terday. The market became feverish,
with declines of l to IL points in
number of the more active issues,
including Union Pacific, Louisville and
Nashville, Northern Pacific and
Northwestern. Some of the best known
brokerage firms were open sellers of
the active list. This was especially
true of Union Pacific, which was car
ried down over 2 points with scarcely
halt Most of the selling of Read
ing came from the same sources. The
break in Erie caught many stop orders
and there was an all-round unloading
OF weak bull accounts. In spite of
the heavy selling of Amalgamated
Copper, much of it seemingly for Bos-
ton account. the stock yielded only
point, but recovered with the an
nOuncement, OF yet dnOLnef duVdHCe III
the price of the metal. At different
times the market was extremely dull
and showed almost an utter absence of
support New York Central, Baltimore
and Ohio and Great Northern pre-
ferred together with other high class
issues recording material declines. The
list steadied in the afternoon although
Reading continued to act erratically.
a feature of the afternoon was a
slight furry in call money which sent
the rate up to IL per cent. Very
| little was loaned at this figure, but
| considerable amounts were put out
! at 3 per cent. The rise resulted from
| the demands of belated borrowers

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans Aug. 25.-Spot cot
ton steady; sales $50. Quotations re-
duced 1-Sc.
Futures opened steady and to Z
points higher than yesterdays finals.
The weather map was very discourage
ing, no rain of consequence having
fallen in Texas although the map gave
posi- bilites for showers today. The
temperature there remains very high.
The feature concerning the market to-
day was cables from Russia. One of
these said that enormous contracts
for goods had been made by the lar
gest firm in Russia, involving 100000
bales. Philadelphia was reported to
be openly bullish for this reason. An
other telegram said that some Rus
sian mills had sold their yarn out
put up to Easter. This means spot
business and is of the first Importance.
1t was stated that Russians have
through their representatives quietly
been buying spots here for several
days The market remained steady
throughout the earlier hours of the
session, but realizing sales during the
afternoon sent prices down steadily
to the close at the list then showing
net losses of 5 to points.

principal feature. Jobbers continue to
do large business.
New York Cotton.
New~York, Aug. 25.-The cotton
market was less active with fiuctua-
tions irregular but comparatively mar
row. The close was at a net decline
of five to six points. Sales estimated
at 100000 bales.
The opening was quiet but firm at
an advance of to 5 points and the
market shortly afterward showed a
net gain of to 6 points on the ac-
tive months on scattered covering and
a little fresh buying for long account
inspired by fairly steady cables and
the failure of the predicted showers
to appear in the Southwest. Eleven
thousand bales of local stock were re-
ported damaged or destroyed in a
warehouse fire last night and this
also led to some demand though the
local bulls were not supporting the
market, and after the first bulge there
was active selling by local bears and
considerable realizing under which
prices reacted to a net loss of about
8 points. The decline brought in a
few supporting orders from the South
ern and Wall Street bulls. but buying
did not become aggressive and after
an irregular middle session dirung
which prices showed an average gain
of about points the market again
eased off under private reports of rain
in Texas and lower temperatures. The
close was steady but within a point or
two of the lowest. Southern spot
markets were unchanged to 316
lower.

Look To The Light.

The shadows darken: Ger the river 5
breast
Dimly the hills appear.
Look to the Orient, Love. and not the
west
There shines the red gold of the dying
sun
Which soon the dark shall blight.
The gold of beautiful sad dreams
Dear one,
Look to the morning light!
Look where the light shall first illume
the skies
When the black shades depart.
God made the morning in your dream
ing eyes
A deathless morn, sweetheart!
The young world calls you, where no
spirit grieves-
In temples reared to Art
Your face shall shine when he that
loves you leaves
But a dim name, Sweetheart!
Yet this-for all the shadows of the
past,
AS fades his face from sight
Look to the light. Sweetheart, at last
at last!
Sweetheart, look to the light!
