New York, August 1-The rise In stocks which has shown a somewhat halting ten dency this week was resumed with a goodly aggressive. force today. Prices were swept to higher level throughout by well distributed buying orders and the market broadened materially from the recent extreme conges tion in few of the market leaders.

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter

As bureau day approaches numerous private estimates of the change that have taken place during the past thirty days are being published. It Is noteworthy that no matter how far these may differ regarding the individual states, the aver age deterioration shown crystallzes around 11s points, thus indicating bureau ap- preaching S1.S. Our own opinion and which we have seen no reason to change, is that the government on August will show a condition fully equal to that of July. How much Texas has been relieved from the drouth conditions of June 20 can hardly be expressed in less than five points. which more than cancels whatever loss the Carolnas and Georgia may have sustained, and therefore, we cannot see why 1t should not show an improvement of July. The news from Russia today has been very disquieting, the disposition to ignore Is unnatural and forced, and will probably be abandoned the moment the bureau report is out of the way. There was an effort on the part of the bulls to boost our market just before the close to influence Liverpool. Certinty there was nothing in the crop news to induce any sudden buying. and 1t is more than doubt ful whether Liverpool will respond to such patent efforts at manipulation Liv- erpool is due to points higher.

Abercrombie & Co.'s Market Letter.

The market continues narrow and life- ness notwithstanding our being on the eve of the publishing of another monthly crop condition government report, the formal announcement of which will take place Friday at Il a. m. New Orleans time.
 The wonder Is that there is not more interest taken in the market since the trade is depending, we might say, solely upon the size of the growing crop and prospective consumption next season. There appears to be more doing in actual cotton than in the speculative markets, and as a matter of fact there Is more business doing in new crop cotton to ar rive than In contracts around the Ameri- can rings. The public seems to be hyp- notiZed, seemingly believing in small crop ideas. In other words placing faith in reports to effect that the probable yield of the season will be inadequate for the wants of the spinning world, the minimum figure for the consumption of American being placed at 100000 bales, whereas there are those who are wont to show, by the manipulation of antique statistics that the crop indications are for yield smaller than II 900 bales, perhaps as small as 10, 800 GOO bales. That the situation is being highly colored was demonstrated again today by the support extended the market in the face of comparative bear ish crop condition report of the New York Journal of Commerce if showing a de- terioration for the month of July of only i point, averaging the general condition at s1 against S2. last month. It is gem orally believed that the monthly condi- tions reports by trade journals and from private sources are usually more bearish than those of the government. Such Is not the case. however. although such an idea might be entertained as regards crop, estimates.

Ware 6 Leland's Market Letter.

Cotton was exertmely dull today, but its tone was steady. Sentiment was more bearish than otherwise and the wonder was that prices held up as well as they dld especially in the face of remark ably heavy movement of new cotton.
 The bureau was still the subject or much guess work. and the bears were not disposed to operate with any freedom while 1t was still in the way. Receipts of new cotton at Houston amounted to 231 bales against none of new last year, Sl bales of new two years ago and no re- ceipts of new three years ago,
 Sinner, Tex, wired that it had ginned "A bales of new cotton up to last Satur- day and that farmers were fiocking into town after plckers which were scarce.
 Bryan, Tex. wired that it received It's first new bale yesterday. Hill Prairie, Tex, wired that it's first and second bales came in almost together, and that new cotton would come in a dozen bales at a time next week. Divine, Tex. wired that it had ginned two bales of new, and so the story went giving promise of sur prising volume of new cotton within the next few days.

SAYS THE PEOPLE
ARE COURAGE Gus.

OAKLAND. Aug. 25.-"There is no
such word as defeat for the uncon-
querable California spirit. The people
OF San Francisco are apparently just as
courageous and just as hopeful now,
when all the difficulties of their sit
uation are plainly seen, as they were a
week after the fire, when excitement
aided TO bolster up their courage"
Thus writes George E. Brewer. an
expert insurance adjuster to George
ID. Dornin, manager of the Springfield
Fire and Marine Insurance Company.
Brewer spent three months in San
Francisco as one of the Springfcld's
querque, n NJ, his headquarters. he
has given his impressions of the pres
ent situation in San Francisco.
Continuing, Brewer says
1t was terrible situation the peo-
pie of San Francisco were called upon
to face and it still presents such tre-
mendous difficulties as to make it al
most appalling, but the people do not
seem to know the meaning of discour-
agement and they are going ahead as
best they can
The losses were tremendous, aside
from the millions of insurance car
ried. AS an average not more than 40
per cent of the value was carried on
buildings, while the average carried
on merchandise was hardly more than
80 per cent. The rest of the value of
both buildings end merchandise was
lost. 1t will re.otre a great deal Of
capital to maxi up this loss, and, while
capital is pouring IN. it is difficult for
the average nIan to realize the i'm
mense sums that are needed to restore
the city TO anything like its former
conditions"
Brewer reviews the building opera
tions in progress, notes the spirit of
Sayety in the display of hundreds Of
flags and banners. and concludes:
The courage of San Francisco is
marvellous. To the outside observer
their situation might seem anything
but encouraging, but in the minds of
the people who are helping to rebuild
the city there seems to be no doubt
at all of the future

the Bowen Petry ticket al the pri-
maries. are wondering what A. s. Orms-
by, chairman of the county committee
is going to DO about calling the con-
vention. Ormsby has made no definite
move. though the Bowenites declare he
has made advances looking toward a
settlement of factional disturbances
Ormsby, according TO the Bowen
forces. has offered to break the dead
lock over the convention call by per-
mitting his opponents to name the date
provided he is slated for the Union La
bor nomination for District Attorney
The proposal. the Bowen men say, has
been rejected. They purpose to call a
convention by a majority of the dele
gates. which so far they have held to-
gether, their seventy-nine being thir-
teen more than a majority of the con-
vention. Ormsby's wing lays title to
forty delegates. twenty eight to be ap-
pointed and twelve f-om Alameda, with
eleven directed by Charles Sinclair in
doubt. But, in spite of the numerical
superiority shown by the opposition
Ormsby controls the county committee
and. OF course, can say when and
where the county convention shall be
held.
The ormsby wing is said to be
friendly to County Assessor Henry
Dalton, while C. Z. Thomas Of Berke-
ley has received a caucus Endorsement
at the Bowen organizations hands
Dalton's friends are working hard to
break into the majority side of the
party, and, they assert, with some sue
cess. They even go so far as to say
that Dalton has captured Union Labor
delegates out of the Thomas camp at
Berkeley. But Thomas vehemently in
sists his lines are intact and that the
rotund Assessor hasn't chance in the
college town delegation.

GREAT SCARCITY OF ROOMS
FOR STANFORD STUDENTS
Failure of Dormitories TO Open Forces
CoIIegians to Beg AccommOda-
tions at PaIO Alto.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Aug. 25.-
An appeal to all louseholders in P;llo
Alto and neighboring towns who have
rooms to rent has been issued by the
student social service committee OF
Stanford University. The pressure for
accommodations is intense, in sptre of
the fact that a large number of rooms
had been reserved for students in Paio
Alto. The shortage Is directly due to
the failure of the dormitories, Encian
and Roble halls, to open prior to regis
tration day. Students are seeking shell
ter in all parts of the university town.
All places have been taken. Many land
lords have refused TO allow students to
engage rooms without guaranteeing to
keep their quarters for a stated length
of time.
Many new students have appeared
upon the campus and have been disap-
pointed in not finding quarters. To
provide against any falling off in reg
istration the chairman. E. z. Lewis. OF
the committee on ruomlng and board
ing of students of the students social
service has entered his appeal. Free
advertising mediums have been offered
by the local dailies and the matter is
being taken up by the Young Mems
Christian Association.
The arrival of a large number OF stu
dents from Eastern universities has
caused considerable comment. Many
have transferred when it would be sup
posed that few would come.

Constable Roderick.
MY Wiie ana nave always iiNeu In

with my mother-in-law, who is Mrs
Annie Anderson of Irvington. 1 have
always thought OF my sister-in-law as
a sister and / treated her as a sister
when she came to Oakland In search Of
work" That is Bard's statement. but
he added: There are some meddle-
some old women in Irvington and they
have caused this trouble. If could see
my wife 1 am confident that the charge
would be dropped
