Monsters From Gulf Waters.


Two unusually large sea monsters were
on exhibition in Galveston during the last
few days. One is a sawfish. fifteen feet
long. and one Of the largest seen in these
waters for many years. 1t was caught by
the fishing boats Nettie and Burnette, near
FInley's Pass. It required the services Of
several men to land the big fish after 1t had
been tangled In the meshes Of large
seine. After partly destroying the seine
and knocking a half dozen men into the
water a rope was finally fastened around
Its saw and the captured monster was made
to swim behind the boat to Galveston. The
fish is swimming about in the water in
Brick wharf slip. The other catch was an
immense stingaree, more than nine feet
across and with tail seven feet long. -Four
singers, an unusual number, served as the
creatures weapons Of offense and defense
The catch was made in seine near San
Luis pass.

NEW YORK, September 4.-American
stocks had shown decided strength In yes
terday's London stock market. and this
mornings cabled quotations showed them
quoted at general and substantial furtner
advances, with a maximum rise OF about b
points in ST. Paul.
Gains of from l to 3 points were quite
common in other active issues. While the
local market opened exceedingly strong. the
initial transactions being still well De.ow the
London parity. and in consequence the ar
bitrage houses were quite heavy buyers
here taking upward of $4,000 shares dur
ing the first hour of business.
The London stock market reacted with
the course of the day. with the result that
some of the early foreign purchasers were
closed out in the local market. There was
no special explanation of the buoyancy OF
the American department OF the Lonooii
stock market which was otherwise lrres-
ular mainly because of uneasineSS as TO the
effect upon the money market there OF an
outflow of gold to America
Much Uncertainty.
There was again a great deal of uncer-
tainty as to the actual amount of gold
which has been secured In the London mar
ket for shipment to New York. Cabled ad-
vices set forth that varying sums have been
really engaged there, but it was impossible
to discover the identity of the local con-
signees Stock exchange discussion was
still highly charged with rumors Of very
heavy engagements Of the metal, but these
reports appeared to have no more substan-
tial foundation than was the case last
week.
Sterling exchange recovered quite sharply
this morning, notwithstanding the large for
eign purchases of securities. Money market
circumstances in general again monopolized
the largest share Of Wall streets interest.
The banks have scored a loss amounting
to 81, 100000 in their operations thus far
with the subtreasury. and there were fur
ther large transfers of currency today both
to San Francisco and interior points.
Renewal rates standing loans were
fixed at per cent, but higher figures ruled
for loans on call during the greater part OF
the day Upon their appearance reaction
took pace in the rates for sterling ex-
change. Notwithstanding money market
conditions the stock market ruled extreme
ly strong throughout the greater part OF
the business session. and the volume OF
business was nearly double that transacted
on Friday. This mornings announcement
of the sale by the Pennsylvania Comuany
of a large portion of'its holdings OF Norfolk
and Western and of Baltimore and ONO
was succeeded by lively advances in the
two last-named stocks, their course being
based upon the idea that the purchasing
bankers had in turn already disposed OF
these stocks in the open market, and II was
generally assumed that this selling account
ed sufficiently for the recent marked weak
ness in these stocks, and notably In Balti-
more and Ohio.
