NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.--The heaviness
and irregularity of todays stock market
may be ascrbed to several circumstances,
any one of them more or less plausible,
II not entirely logical
Our market and those abroad derived
but scant comfort from the situation at
Portsmouth, consols at London and rentes
at Paris shading some. while further pre-
text to sell here was found In the latest
demands of the head of the anthracite
miners union, and the widely heralded ut
terances of "a New England operator"
who today resumed his attack upon the
It is noteworthy that the coal shares
and Amalgamated Copper were materially
To the foregoing conditions should be
added a decided tendency to the harden
ing of money rates and a further de-
mand by the west upon the local finan-
cial resources
The reaction today had apparently the
tacit, If not open, sympathy of strong
interests as shown In the absence of sup
port at the most critical stages of the
early session. In spite of contrary state
ments, 1t is now the opinion of observant
persons that the years requirement for
crops from this center will be quite as
large if not larger than last year.
Initial prices throughout the active list
were lower. extending to Reading and the
other coalers, Union, PACIFIC, Missouri
Pacific, St. Paul, Atchison, Pennsylvania
and Canadian Pacific On the other hand
gains were made by Metropolitan Street
and Pacific Coast, the latter making a
new high record
The list rallied feebly in the first hour,
such support as the market received com
ing from the western commission houses.
Operators tested the market by switching
from one group to another, but finding
little demand for their offerings, turned
sellers again, the list going lower at this
juncture.
Reading fell 8 points. st, Paul A, Great
Northern preferred and New York Gem
trail III. the balance of the list trailing
along at recessions of to points. One
of the few conspicuous exceptions was
Republic Iron preferred, which advanced
and was taken by commission houses
hitherto prominent in that issue
The absence of any marked selling pres
sure steadied the market in the early
afternoon but the trading soon became
more narrow and dull.
Buying Of Union Pacific, which sent it
above Saturdays closing, attracted some
attention among traders who followed the
movement with purchases of Reading and
other active issues until many of the
early declines had been recovered.
The closing was firm, an influential fac
tor being the news that Japan had agreed
to waive her claim to indemnity, and a
return of call money to last week s rates.
LondonS moderate sales here were largely
caused by home demands to meet tomor-
rows fortnightly settlements
Among the days railroads returns was
that OF Chicago & Northwestern whose
preliminary statement for the fiscal year
showed but a slight increase OF net in
come over the previous year.
Reports of gross returns for July by a
number Of minor lines were about equally
divided as to losses and gains.
Bonds We're irregular. Total sales par
United States bonds were all unchanged
on call.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Steady at 70 1-2o for septem-
ber--corn and Oats Dull
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. pa bearlsh feeling
was prevalent In the wheat pit through
out the session. Chief among the early
Influences was the marked increase this
week over last in shipments from Rus
sla and the Danube. There was also
a notable gain in the amount of grain on
ocean passage against q decrease, which
the trade had been led to expect. The
esT eber was ynebaneed ess 70 eng oWger wl.t 71@
79%c. September closed at 79hc, with q
steady undertone.
The market for corn was easy at the
opening, the heaviness In wheat deterring
those who might have bought on the
moderate receipts and the heaviness OF
shipments. September was down Nc, at
53c at the opening. The bearishness In
1uenced by crop statistics later became
pronounced and the marked sagged off,
closing barely steady at 5sc.
Oats were ,,lI dHl and md easy keeping with
tom, September closing at 25%c.
Provisions were unsettled, with a ten
ddency toward weakness; Liquidation in
September pork broke the prices. Sep
tember pork closed zoe off, lard 12c down
and ribs 2hc lower.

am IN a hurry.
FEATHER says for no one to answer
that call just yet. He thinks this wind
will soon break up the ice so the life
boat can 90 out. He says it will he
suicide to attempt scooting through
this fog. Mr.. Bowman her voice ris-
ing in sudden displeasure. for the scoot-
erist had stepped into his craft and
thrown out his pike to shove her into
the wind
I'm sorry, Miss Blanche" over his
shoulder, "but the keepers orders are
for his own men and not for poor out
side fisherman like me. Besides. the
boat may be in sore need, and. though
a little scooter cannot do much, it may
at least carry intelligence and perhaps
save one or Incorporated l can reach
them"
The girls face underwent a sudden
change and she took an impetuous step
forward, but already the scooter had
slipped away into the fog.
As they waited there listening, peer
ing. while the hours dragged by. the
faces of the men showed something of
what they knew to be taking place
within the fearsome shifting pail of
mist. The scooter was rushing on, drop
ping into open spaces of water, Slip
ping up again upon patches of rotten
ice swiftly. with scarcely any checking
of speed. its owner knowing time was
of more Importance than caution. ANY
moment its nose was liable to strike
some obstruction and throw out its oc-
cupant, the wind at that speed might
overturn the scooter or q sudden iibing
wreck it without an instant's warning,
either of which on the waste of rotten
ice held but one possible fate for the
owner.
Two hours and there came another
signal of distress close inshore. The
waiting life savers dropped into their
scOoters and slid out into the fog. The
girl was still there. watching, her face
white. Ten minutes more and a scoot-
er's nose suddenly slipped from the
darkness almost at her feet, and Jack
Bowman sprang out. Bending over, he
lifted a recumbent figure from the
scooter to the sand.
"Will you call some one from the
station to carry this man up, Miss
BlancheY' he said hurriedly as he
swung his craft back into the wind. Il
haven't time. There are others waiting
for me-
The girl moved forward swiftly, plac-
ing hand upon his shoulder.
81 shall be waiting, too, Jack" she
said in a low voice. You must come
back to me-"
A tremor went through the mans
frame, but he did not pause an instant
in his work. As the craft disappeared
in the fog his voice rose strong and res
Olute above the wind
Eyes, Blanche. l will come back to
you"
And he did.
