Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 9.-With the excep-
ton OF Pennsylvania and its AFFILIATED stock
the stock market opened with an uncertain
tone and developed decidedly reactionary
tendencies with the course of the business
session.
In the early dealings the upward move
ment in Pennsylvania and its allied STOCKS
was continued. advances of more than one
point being scored both by Pennsylvania
and Norfolk and Western, but later even
these issues participated In the general
downward swing. Ostensibly the break IN
prices, which was in quite acute form IN
the early afternoon was caused by slight
furry in the rates for money on call.
There was also much disappointment ex-
pressed that after the meeting OF the eN-
ecutive committee of the Union Pacinc
Railway Company announcement was mace
that nothing beyond routine matters mas
been under consideration.
There was otherwise little or nothing
in the days situation to be named III
connection with the course OF the market
While an exceedingly strong government
crop report Is commonly expected tonlor
row, that prospect carried very little "eisht
in the speculation in securities. The gram
market was however, heavy and very
sharp break took place in cotton.
The London stock market was generaiy
steady. with further improvement observed

land made a very strong weekly report

serve to liability of 4S.T3 per cent. a ratio

lions here for foreign account were upon
too small a scale to affect prices material-
ly one way or another.
Sharp Break in Prices.
The sharp break in prices soon after mid
day, which followed upon the advance IN
the rates for call loans was in turn succeed
ed by a vigorous and general rally, but
throughout the business session f1uctua-
lions were so rapid and erratic as to I'M
part an appearance of unusual irregularity
to the days dealings. Z.
There was still wanting any direct expla-
nation of the exceptional strength Of the
PENNSYLVANIA group of stocks. II Is indeed
generally expected that increased dividends
will be declared both on Norfolk and West

on Pennsylvania will also be advanced.

The politicians want to know what the
Sun meant; they want the Sun to name

easiest conclusion at which TO arrive,
but the Sun is anything rather than a

ago, made the solemn prediction that

the World has stuck 10 IL ever since.
The World doesn't like Roosevelt in

way Of fighting him. Perhaps the Suns
prediction may have been intended TO

get together.

it would be hard to find democrat,

PARIS, July -. The French newspa-

probably true, others Of which are un.
questionably false. Many Of those clues
are being sifted out by the representa-.

excuse for these outbursts was to be

graph Ever Turned Out by the
Land 0fice--Bg Demand
For Maps.

ASToRIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, d. c., July 23-A map Of the
new State of Oklahoma has just been
completed by the draughting division Of
the General Land Office. 1t is now being
autographed and will be ready for dis,
tribution about September |. at least
the contract calls for 5000 copies by that
time.
When it began to be apparent at the
Capitol more than a month ago, that
the Statehood bill would pass. Frank
Bond, chief of the draughting division
of the Land Office, put some of his 20
clerks to work on what he thought would
be the first official map Of the new
State. The last edition of q map Of
Oklahoma has been made in 1898, and of
Indian Territory in 1899. Both editions
has been exhausted for some time, and
there has been repeated calls for an
other edition, but Mr.. Bond waited for
the Statehood bill, and when it was
passed, 1t was prepared to rush splen
did draught ia combination of the two
Territories to the printer.

tary reservation boundaries in red. The
distance scale will be II miles to the
inch, and the size of the entire map will
be 4x2s feet.
There has already been big demand
at the Interior Department for the maps.
The work of putting the new State on
the big map of the United States, which
is published by the General Land Office
is more complicated On this map, which
is generally seen in government offices
throughout the country, there is big
yellow spot which denotes the Indian
Territory. 1t stands out from the white
ground of Oklahoma beside it. Because
if the allotment of Indian lands in In.
dian Territory the yellow spot viii dis
appear on the new map, the boundary
between the two territories win be elimi- |
mated and the new State will be all
white with big Oklahoma spelled across
its face.
