Yesterdays STOCK MARKET.
More Consistency and Strength Than
at Any Time During Week.

More Consistency and Strength Than
at Amy Time During Week.
New York, Aug. 4--The stock ex-
change had quite lively hour from the
opening to-day and the market showed
more consistency and strength during
that period than at any time during
the week. A good effect was produced
on sentiment by the fact that such sub
stantial market leaders as Union Paci-
fic and st. Paul were full participants
in the movement to the exclusion of
some of the less influential specialties
which have made up so much of the
markets prominent on recent days, but
the effort to carry prices higher seemed
to have exhausted itself with this squirt
and the later trading reverted to the
class of specialties which may be mov-
ed with much less expenditure of effort
with the subsistence of the early active
demand a dropping tendency in the
standard stock became observable. The
heaviness had no more news to explain
THAN did the early strength. The ac-
tive buying of the first hour was pro-
fessedly based on growing confidence in
the grain crops. The preference for less
conspicuous market leaders in the later
movements turned to some of the high
priced railroad stocks which the ex-
ltraordinary market course of Lacka-
wanna has served to make attractive.
Record prices for Central Railroad of
New Jersey and for Northern Pacific
wit hthe exception of prices touched
during the corner in the latter stock
were the consequence. American
Smelling was another stock touching
new high record price. A number of
minor stocks made their first appear
ance on the tap for months to be
moved upwards with dash on light
transactions, the coalers and the south
ern group rested after their previous
advance. Feeling of encouragement
over the grain crops, was fostered by
the Missouri state report which was of
immediate effect only on Rock Island of
the corn grangers. The early strength
of Union Pacific was explainable by the
reports Of net earnings for that system
and for Southern Pacific for June
which made their appearance during
| the day showing an increase over the
preceding June, which represented
nearly million dollars for the two
systems. London supplied no business
to this market, the holiday extending
until next Tuesday serving to discour-
age new business. The tone of the later
market continued up to the close.
Bonds wer esteady. Total sales par
value, $3,08O,O0O, United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

A GOOD TEN SHILLINGS'
WORTH.


1t is seldom, one would imagine,
that original paintings by celebrated
artists are used to illustrate a book.
But in one of the Amsterdam book
shops about two decades ago a folio
miscellany was picked up by an Eng
lish tourist, who was attracted by the
water color sketches which had been
inserted therein as illustrations.
Upon reaching home he placed the
volume, which had cost him the equiv
alent of ten shillings, on a shelf, and
forgot all about it for more than a
couple of years; when, one evening, a
neighbor who happened to be an ar
fist dropped in for a game of whist,
and after the rubber Mr.. S. suddenly,
while talking of sketches, bethought
himself of the book he had purchased.
He took it from beneath a pile of 9TH
er volumes in the cupboard where it
had laid neglected, and handed it to
his friend.
After a few minutes the artist said
very quietly: Have you any idea as
to whether these drawings are any
good?"
No." replied the owner, 81 don't
know anything about them, but they
took my fancy and so I gave the man,
after bargaining, ten shillings for the
book"
The artist smiled. After a pause he
said: II will give you three times as
much for the drawings and you can
keep the book"
No" said his friend, 81 don't want
to SELL"
"Well," said the other, "you are
wise, for at. least six of these sketches
are by David Cox, and perhaps worth
ten, or even twenty guineas apiece
One is a Birket-Foster, worth about
thirty pounds, should say, and one is
a Law, worth nearly as much. Two
others 1 am doubtful about; the rest
are not of much account"
The tourist placed the drawings in
the hands of a we'll known dealer;
they were sold by auction and alto
gether realized nearly three hundred
and twenty guineas. One of the
doubtful ones proved to be a Whistler,
and the other sketch for a picture
by a we'll known French artist.-Clive

Traders based their selling near the

The cause Of graft can be divided

the American love Of money Unlike
other countries, there appears TO be
nothing IN America that will gain
power for the individual aside from
money We Americans worship the
dollar Here religion is free: military
honors are forbidden by law Money
alone advances the power OF the indi.
yidna and this, believe, Is the first
cause Of graft. Men sell their hon

The second cause Of graft Is the
boss system in our politics Fully 20
