NEW YORK, June 17.-Smal busi-

afforded no relief to the existing stag
nant conditions. The most significant
feature in the market was the loss OF
nearly a point on Reading, which was
the only stock TO show any activity or
strength yesterday. This was the index
OF the days whole movement. Declines
of varying fractions were the rule.
The inertia of the market is complete,
except for timid ventures by small
remnant of traders. There was some
discussion of the reported friction be-
tween Germany and France over their
relations toward Morocco. But 1t was
said that not over 100 shares We're
traded In here for foreign account. and
these so far as they were traceable
were. only orders delayed until to-day
in the execution. The greater specu-
lative activity in the markets for COM
modities gives greater opportunity and
helps to divert attention from stocks
The heavy tone of the market was ac-
centuated to very slight extent after
the appearance of the bank statement.
The increase in deposits was principally
due to loan expansion, and while the re-
serve requirement was thus increased
some si,11 5000 the cash increase
amounted to only S1,495.00o The re-

incidentally the dramatist declared that
the poetic cure which he had under
gone for the last seven years had freed
him Of all egotism." Then he went on to
describe the unparalleled beauties of his
new poetic play. which is called '"The

Venice.

The dramatist is now seeking a COM

CHER OWN WAY, NEAR END.
Maxine Elliotts plans are now COM
plete, except that it isn't settled vet as
to how long 'Her Own Way will be con-
tinued at the Savoy. At present the piece
is doing well. but the star needs a rest
badly, SO she will probably finish at the
end of the month and then go either into
the country or over to the Continent.
After that she will return home to begin
rehearsals of the new piece which CLYDE
Fitch has written for her She got the
manuscript OF it from Fitch, who is in
Venice, only a few days ago. The piece
is called MY Girl joe and is comedy
in four acts. Miss Elliott likes it all but

change.

company when trains were due.
Another of Raleigh's ideas was TO add
20 the realism OF his scene by means of
biogrzph pictures OF a train approaching

that the special was given him. Incl

a trust in restraint of trade, has lost

CHINA ALL RIGHT.

It may be said by some that the Chi

but they are shown TO be made NJ the
nd Of stufi that ought 10 set al ex.
ample for the people of other portions
OF The world. A few days ago an 49,

China by a crank rs her hiRhneS was
passing through q gate Her cries
brought 4 guard, who d "a not wait to
call board OF investigation To asceF-
tain whether the chap was convent
emily insane or not. He ran him
through with a bayonet and relieved
the public Of any farther trouble from
the fellow except To bury him This
might seem rather too severe in the
eyes of many philsnthropic people, yet
il saves a great deal Of annoyance from
such sources.
When ii lie learned by the anarchists
and cranks that they will not be tul-
Grated for moment in their Efforts To
attempt the lives Of the heads Of gov.
eTnments, they will stop such con-
duct--at least those who are the VIC
tins OF the bayonets Of the guards.
The idea that it is not safe for the
President of the United states To travel
any in this land Of ours, il disgrace
to our country, aud when it comes TO
such pass il seems about time to
put a check on certain classes coming
