Stocks and Bonds.

New York, June 8.-There was an
abortve attempt to stir up actNlty III
the stock market during the first hour
of today's session, which resulted In
lifting a few stocks TO considerably
higher level than yesterday closing
The movement flattened out complete
ly and the subsequent settling OF prices
TO a lower basis was due as much
TO inanition in the market as to any
active pressure to sell The opening
advance had it's initiative in the high
er level for London prices based on
the belief in hopeful outlook for
peace. The uplift of prices was pure
ly sympathetic with London and the
actua. transactions for foreign ac-
count here were insignificant in
amount. The small selling attracted
by the higher range of prices, how
ever, invited some additional attempt
to move the market upwards. Inc
efforts centered on a handful ofestocks
amongst the coalerS and Southern
Railroad and including Amalgamated
Copper The operations in the South
ern group We're attributed to a newly
formed pool or revival of an old
pool. Very favorable ShowingS of
gross earnings being made by rail-
roads in that region were made the
basis of the movement. The large
production of anthracite is a favorable
factor for the Coalers. These move
ments attracted no important follow
ing. The inertia of the United States
Steel stocks was almost complete, in
fuenced by the absence of. any indi-
cation of revived activity in the iron
markets This proved a burden on
sentiment towards the whole market.
The rise in call money rates was at
tributed to the Redistribution of funds
on deposit, which are the proceeds of
Japanese loan subscription amongst
various financial institutions and the
intimation was conveyed that these
funds are likely to be left on deposit
here for an indefinite period. Stock
commission houses also have funds to
lend. owing to the extreme dizziness
of the stock market. The hardening
of the call money rate was regarded
as purely. temporary. But a some
what firmer tone was reported for
time funds and the likelihood of high
er money rates in the fall is not with
out influence in causing the almost
total stagnation of the stock market
Only remnant of the days gains was
preserved and the average level o!

A roadway or track for motor pro
pelled vehicles has been invented re-
Gently by DR.. I. a. Johnson of Aenla,
Ill. which promises a valuable means
Of transportation, says the st. Louis
Post Dispatch. 1t consists of two
parallel tracks Of concrete, formed so
as to present an outer fange, and a
broad treadway, with strengthening
rib running down into the ballast
which has been rolled firmly In the
bitches previously excavated. This
roadway is designed for motor vehicles,
both passenger and freight, the cars
having rubber tires. The track can be
used as a toll line for automobiles
The inventor has also a device which
can be attached to the steering Jugs OF
the vehicle, preventing contact Of tires
with fanges and obviating steering by
motorman.

Thousands of AgricUIturists to Settle
In Southwest.
The Boer colony of farmers in Mexico
have accepted an offer to settle in
southwest Texas, in the new country
recently opened up by the Brownsville
road, says a dispatch from Galveston,
Tex. The tract of irrigated land COM
prises about 10000 acres. General Ben
Valioen. who acts for himself and 200
Boer families, promises several thou
sand agricuhurists within two years.
Fifty families are ready to move
from chihuahua Mexico, where they
have been robbed of their investments
and labor by the faulty land records.
After building their homes and filling
the soil the Beers found they could not
perfect titles and sought to get back
their money, but the MeXtcans refused
and threatened to confscate the pos
sessions. The Beers have appealed to
the Mexican government for relief.

QUAIL n BOON TO FARMERS.
An Enthusiasts Estimate of Their
Value In Eating Weed Seeds.

BobwhiteS, or the common quail of
New England, eat tons OF weed seeds
annually ana should be protected by
every farmer as his greatest boon, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Transcript. Such is the verdict
of an enthusiast in the Department of
agriculture. This authority has taken
great pains to study the quail from
every point of view, and the results of
his Investigations will soon be avail
able in bulletin. He has even taken the
trouble to compute the possible amount
that may be disposed of i'll Virginia
and North Carolina. where there are
believed to be four bobwhites, or par
tridges." as they are known in the
south, to every square mile, making
SOD, $50 in each of the two states. Ac-
cordng to his figures. the quail of the
two states each year dispose of 1.341
tons of noXious seeds.
This activity justities the theory that
every farmer should regard the quail
on his land as his personal property,
like his poultry and live stock. The
farmers cupidity may be melted by
telling him how much advantage lie
can derive from the jUdicious DISPOSE
ton of quail, or the privileges for hunt
ing them Some farms containing from
500 to 1000 acres would by this meth
cd probably yield Il better revenue
from bobWhiteS than from poultry.
Shooting rights leased ut high prices
are source OF regular income in North
Carolina. Since much of the land
throughout the southern states can
hardly be farmed profitably, millions
of dollars might be made by the proper
management of the quail crop. The
time is perhaps not distant when farm
ers will protect these birds from
hawks, foxes and poachers as careful
ly as they do now their chickens. The
transfer of the time honored scarecrow
from the corntield to the covers of the
quail might be Il unique but not i'm
possible Innovation

VETERAN COON HUNTER.
Oklahoma Postmaster Resigns So as
to Continue His FavOrite Sport.

While others throughout the country
are boasting the possession Of the
championship belts for various and
divers reasons and in numerous lines.
Dr.. Stephen Call an octogenarian resi-
dent of Ingalls,, in Eastern Oklahoma,
boasts that he has killed more coonS
than any other living man, and al
though an octogenarian DR.. Call still
follows the sport, says dispatch from
Oklahoma.
DR.. Call learned to burn powder With
General Lew Wallace in Mexico dur
ing the war with that country. and
later he followed this same leader
through the civil war, distinguishing
himself on many battlefelds.
The time Of year is rapidly approach
ing when coons are the ''ripest. ac-
cording to this veteran hunter, and
this winter will be spent. as have all
those in the past, hunting in the woods.
When there was vacancy III the
postoffice ut ingalls, several years ago
Dr. Call won the place with ease, but
the position was too binding. lie
soon employed another man to look
after the affairs of the office so that he
could hunt. Recently he resigned the
office. stating that he could not find the
time to give both it and hunting coons
the attention they required.
