WALL STREET FEELS
EFFECT OF HEAT
Brokers Indifferent and
Letting Stocks Drift.
UNION PACIFIC SELLING OFF
Uncertainty Regarding Future of This
Stock Affecting Speculation
in General List.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The opening
range OF fluctuations through the active
list was very narrow, gains of Il being
the maximum. and shared by Baltimore
and Ohio. Erie, Mexican Central, Anal
Eamatcd Copper. and Tennessee Coal
and Iron. Louisville and Nashville de-
cltned L per cent. The average was up
about = per cent. Among the specialties
a sale OF Big Four was per cent under
the last previous sale. Pittsburg Coal
preferred lost q and Anaconda was up
L. The market was not comparatively
active. Bonds were fe6tureless.
Trading during the first hour was slow
Speculation in the general list was af-
fected TO some extent by continued un-
certainty over Union Pacific develop
ments. Union Pacific was sold by Gates
brokers. declining to 1885,, against 1907
which it was sold at Just after the open
ing. st. Paul, Southern Pacific, Penn-
sylvania and other stocks in the same
class shaded off because Union Pacific
was heavy
The strong features were Metropoli-
tan Street Railway. which rose 1855 on
continued buying, and United States
Rubber. which advanced l point to 459s.
Pittsburg Coal issues We're exceptionally
weak; the preferred stock, which opened
"a on at So had further fall of five
points to %. and the common dropped
from Il to I25s. The break In the pre-
4erred was accompanied by reports that
the divided payments have practically
been discontinued
The market is still adversely infiuenc-
ed by the intense heat, and prominent
brokers have left the floor of the ex-
change to enjoy shower baths and let
the stocks take care of themselves The
number OF members on the floor is very
small and many of the brokers' offices
are already deserted. Government bonds
unchanged; other bonds steady.

HIM FOR SON-IN-LAN
She Was Under Age, Sire Could Not
Write Consent-Marriage
Is Off.

This girls father wants me to marry
her" said a COlored man about forty
years old today as he stepped up to the
the clerk of court at the City Hall. AS
he spoke the applicant pointed TO a
colored girl, apparently about sixteen
years old. who accompanied him.
"Weli, what do you want 10 do about
it?'' asked the license clerk.
"Oh. I don't care much one way or
the other" the applicant replied Her
father wants me to marry her. and I
am willing to oblige him.
On being asked the age of the young
woman the applicant said she was about
sixteen. He was then informed by the
clerk that she was under age, and would
have to have the written consent of her
father first
"Oh. well. If that's So" said the ap-
plcant, there viii be no wedding bells
a-ringing for me because her father
can't write. so good morning"
Another instance occurred recently
which goes to show how lightly some
people look upon = matter so serious
as natrimony.
Not long ago a young white man step
ped up to the marriage license desk
and asked for a license to marry a very
prepOssessing young woman who aC-
sued he handed the clerk the fee of 81,
and remarked: well that's one moro
dollar burned uD'
The bride-to-be was deeply mortified by
the occurrance. She, however, made
no reply, but blushed to the roots of
whose name she was soon to bear as
she left the City Hall

PUBLIC PRINTER MUST
PREPARE STATEMENT
Keep Commission DESTROYS of Having
Some Details Relative to Tabu-
lar Composition.

Before adjournment Saturday the
Keep commission requested the Public
Printer 10 have prepared a statement
showing the total amount and nature
Of composition done in the office during
the last twelve months.
In order to do this, Byron w. Bonny,
chief Of the statistical division. is work
ing his force of clerks overtime. II Will
require several days more to complete
the statement.
A great deal, it is thought, will de-
pend upon what this statement shows,
the purpose being to ascertain what per
cent Of the work done at the office is
tabular 1t was stated on the stand by
one Of the officials during the investi-
cation that the percentage of tabular
matter would average about So. It is
now thought that the average will be
even less.
The reports from few of the divis-
ions are already complete. Capt. w. r
Ramsey. foreman OF the specincat1On
division, where Public Printer Palmer
said he intended placing the greater
number of the new Lanston machines,
has reported that the tabular matter set
In his division Will average less than
one-haf Of one. per cent.
The night bill force and the record
division Will average about the same as
the specification division. The first, sec
ond. third. fourth. and fifth divisions
do practically all the tabular compost
tiOn of the office.
The-speciai reports submitted to the
commission during its sessions were so
badly involved under the charges Of
padding that the commission is said TO
have placed but little faith In them,
They thought IL best TO get full re-
port from the entire office for a period
OF one year. so that the conditions
might be correctly shown.
The commission. with Characteristic
zeal. is urging the completion of the
supplemental report, 1t is now thought
thai the commission viii require but a
few days 70 get its report to the Presi-
dent after the attorneys file their briefs
