Benjamin Frnnkiin Left q Small Sum
Which Is Now Available.


When Benjamin Franklin died, in
1890, he left a small sum of money,
which "a not to be used until the
twentieth century. His gift is at last
available, and the sum now amounts
to 1875 600, having been invested at
compound interest, says the Pittsburg
Press. The trustees Of the Franklin
fund have decided to use the money
for the erection of a Franklin insti-
tute in Franklin square, Boston. Curl
GUS provisions made by will are more
common than one would suppose.
Within the last few months, there have
been several examples Of eccentric dis
posals of property. To n young
woman has been left $4,000 by her
brother under the express condition
that she neither marries nor becomes
a nun. If the conditions are not full
filled, the money is to be distributed
among other relatives. To his three
daughters an Italian who recently died
left 5000 q year each If they remained
single and 81, 500 each a year If they
married. A late member of the En-
glish parliament left by will to his two
daughters $720,OO0, with the provision
that the money is only to be payable II

marrying either a citizen of the
United States or a Hebrew.

Japan has already begun to make its
changes on the map of the world. A
new chart Of Ae waters about SAX
hahn island has just been issued by
he Japanese photographic bureau,
concerning which a Tokyo newspaper
says: "On this map the Strait of
Tartary, which divides Sakhalin from
The main land, is marked 'Mamiya
Kaikyo' >(Strait of Mamiya) and the
Amur gulf, northward of the strait, is
marked 'Mamiya Kaikyo Hokubu'
(northern part of Mamiya ~strait).
This name, 'Mamiya,' recalls a re-
markable historical event hitherto not
known outside Of Japan. Mamiya
Rinzo was a Japanese subject, who
had associated himself with re-
searches in Sakhalin. The Tokugawa
government sent him in 1908 with an
other official, Matsuda Denjuro, to in
vestigate the conditions in this north

Great Russian Wrestler Says tho

tho Stronger He Will Grow
Seems to Be True.

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and
strength of the modern maiden, who
has most certainly grown uncommon
ly tall and prOportionately muscular
during the past few years. 1t cannot
be that outdoor sports, gymnastic ex-
ercises and so on, have stretched her
out and made her as strong as she is,
because her brothers have had pre-
cisely the same advantages, and they
have not developed at the same rate.
1t seems to me, therefore, that the Sc
cret lies in the fact that of recent
years girls have become far greater
consumers Of sweetmeats than rel
were their mothers and grandmothers.

entered the room with the hot water

for Union Pacific developed that any ef- fective resistance was offered to the gen. eral weakness of the market. The char acter of the dealings in Union Pacific stamped itself everywhere easily as Of highly centralized origin and the favor able feature of the movement was that the demand was from inside sources based on the knowledge of the character of the annual report, the publication Of which Is looked for tomorrow. Reports were cir- culated that the disposition of the com panys Northern Securities assets as dis closed In the report showed such large profits as to justify the movement. The view of the movement of speculative ori- gin found encouragement in the fact that the operations in the stock were on very large scale on the part of the same oper- ators who conducted the recent movement in Reading.
 A wager was offered from this source that Union Pacific was destined to reach 175 on the movement; In exactly the same manner that wager was made early in the Reading movement as to its ultimate high price There was no notable change in actual conditions. Prices of iron and steel according to trade authorities are held down only by main force. The sale of s12, 100000 of New York city bonds did not ruffie the tranquility of the money market. Foreign exchange also was steady and discounts in London were lower. The price of copper was lifted to the highest level touched since 1901
 The distribution of an installment of the deferred dividend on Republic Steel pre- ferred was known for the first time to the market. The United States Steel stocks and St. Paul obtained most substantial benefit from the Union Pacific movement. but the earlier losses were pretty well restored in the general list. The stocks under special pressure, however, continu- ed weak and made the lowest prices of the day in the last few minutes of the market, thus unsettling the close which was decidedly feverish and very irregular.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. ss,S50,OOO United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

Our markets failed to reflect the entire Liverpool decline, and opened at 10 to 15 points down, ruling steady but dull for while and afterwards advanc- ing on short covering and heavy buying
 It was reported several times today that Price was trying to cover, but the advance while eminently satisfactory to those who bought for return, did not evidence that the extensive short in- terest had decided to cancel It's engage ments as otherwise the market would have been 30 to 40 points higher. Of course. there was liberal selling on the part of satisfied longs. who expected reaction to enable them to replace their contracts.
 Spot engagements in New Orleans were reported light and buyers ana sellers apart and difficult to forecast oinciai quotations for the day.
 It was reported that continental nlilis, including Italy and Belgium, are bare of stocks and in England and Germany reserves are light. This controverts pre- vious statements about invisible supplies being heavy.
 We incline to the buying side on aA weak periods. and believe that purchases on depressions, whether as the result or manipulation or other causes, will ultl- mately pay well.
 On the other hand, we advise accept ance of satisfactory profits on all pulges' relying upon natural reactions to replace on a better basis.

SETBACK NOTED IN
 STOCK MARKET Few of the Specialties Made
 Upward Spurts GENERAL LISTS RECEDE Very Attractive Profits Offered at Many Points In the Market Caused an Unusually Large Sell
 Ing Movement.

New York, November 23.-Prices had . material set back today and it was not until the aggressive advance developed in effective progress was made towards re- pairing the damage. Sales to realize prof. it's in some of the sensational speculative favorites proved to be overwhelming and caused violent declines in these stocks, and a sympathetic recession in the gen. eral lists. A few specialties continued to make upward spurts, but they were not of | character to sustain confidence in the general strength of the speculative situa- tion, nor to hold the list against the ef- fective selling elsewhere. The state into which the speculative movement hadsfall- en in the last few days, especially tho rather wild movements of yesterday caused some perturbation and around a fear that they were of a kind which would run quickly to culmination, owing to the violence of the manipulative methods pur- sued.
 Very attractive profits also were offered at many points in the market. The conse- ouence was that the selling movement once inaugurated, grew of it's force with the result of general show of weakness by midday. Speculative prof1t-talking was especially conspicuous on Reading, Smelt- ing, Brooklyn Transit, Anaconda and the southern group of iron and steel stocks. Some of the late rumors which have cir culated in connection with the operations in all Of these stocks have been so little credited that those who had bought on the strength of them were thrown into appre- hension upon their denial. A bad effect upon sentiment was produced also by the evidence of a lack of support in the Rock Island group, and the rapid decline in prices there under light liquidation. Ru- mors circulated that there was to be no dividend paid on the second preferred stock of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad company which was the weakest stock in the group. The denial of this rumor had little immediate effect in ra1- ling the stock. During the morning period of weakness the Metropolitan transaction stocks showed notable strength against the current of the market, and they were joined before the general market rallied by the United States Rubber stocks and the International Paper stocks. It was not, however, until the enormous demand
