GULF STREAM RAPID.
Exceptional Conditions Reported by
Captain of British Steamer.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NORFOLK. Va. August Capt. Will
Jams, master of the British steamer North

stemming it. Above Hatteras he said the
current is but one and ene-half to two

they are prevalent all along the southern
coast and nearly ate the crew of the North

A Spirit of Confidence.

The spirit OF confidence engineered by
the promise OF large dividend returns has
thrown into the background some OF the
considerations which have been a restraint
upon speculation. but they have not passed
wholly out of consideration.
Money on call has been seasonably easy.
but the large loan increase by the banks
last week suggested the requirements OF
an active speculative campaign and the
ultimate demands also to be met of the
crop moving period. The continued unset
Element OF foreign markets by the Russian
disorders have shut of the London mar
ket from resort for gold supply by New
York.
The weeks subtreasury operations In New
York have reflected the payment OF a note
by the Southern Pacific TO the govern
ment and tho payment OF subscriptions on
the Panama canal bond issue. There have
been large redeposits OF government funds
al the same time with the banks. but the
call money market showed some effect
nevertheless. The August settlements were
another factor in the money market. A
tremor was sent through the market by
the passing OF the dividend on Brooklyn
Union Gas. as II was feared that this fore
shcdowed similar action by the Consoh-
dated Gas Company. and. indeed, gen
eral policy 20 be followed by the group of
capitalists represented in these properties

revival of apprehension OH th&s subject.
which was an important factor OF depres-
sion in the market some time since. In view

same is true Of the United States and

companies are closely allied and are wheels

One thing about Standard Oil and the
rich men who are recognized as the Stan

They have it invested in railroads. indus

ployment to hundreds OF thousands of men
and they are actively developing the re-
sources of the country in every direction
The leaders OF the Standard Oh group early
acquired habits of industry. close attention
to business. the knack of applying i'm
proved methods to the conduct of their al
fairs and callous indifference to the opin-
Ions or the welfare of whoever might run
against them or their plans. In the making
of their money they have always recognized
the fact that they must keep their capital

CHARMS THAT BRING LUCY
Superstitions Of Bridge Players
Houses and Seats That Are
Unlueky.

II is now obvious that the portion OF
society which takes its gambling ssri~
ously-it is very large portion In,
desd-has become very superstitious.
An instance in point is the buying of
the ankh which, as now sold In Bond
street In gold and jewels. 10 extremely
popular. says the London Daily Mail.
The ankh 10 the sign of life, and
consequently Of good luck striving
against bad: symbol Of Egyptian
origin composed of a headless cross
attached to q. stirrup circle.
Gambling has always gone hand In
hand with belief in the efficacy Of
charms, but the fair votaries Of bridge
go much further and there are end
less little ceremonies which are sup
posed to initiate for or against their
chance Of winning.
A charming lady who might. with
out undue conceit. have styled herself
"one who knows" quotes an instance:
Whenever you cut for fresh deal
or after a rubber" she said, the one
who cuts lowest has, as you know, the
choice OF cards and seats, and they in
variably turn the winning people out
OF their seats and choose the winning
pack" Sometimes they elect to sit
against the hinges OF the table, bs
cause that is the lucky side.
AS for the charms which are sup
posed to bring luck, their name Is
legion; the most favored are little
dwarfs. lucky sixpences and the New
Zealand greensboro.
II must not be supposed that these
superstitions are confined to the
ladies'. Two we'll knjwl card player
at Whites are extremely proud Of pos
sessing some pieces Of hangman's 5

to play In, though of course house

unlucky for the other. Particular club
