Immensely increased land values. and
many are the fortunes that have re-

II became valuable. This seems so sim

the telling. Yet now few there are who
are willing TO sit down and figure Il

invest their money on the strength OF

Of Bridgeport Susquehanna county, was
driving in a carriage near Montrose

One Of the birds, flying over the fence,
struck Mr. Stephens squarely In the

stunned by the force of the blow. He
was assisted 10 a nearby house. and

which necessitate serious operation,

Since the colonel commanding the MIN

voIver team 20 the Sea GirU shoots,
there has been considerable activity
among those looking for places on the
team.
Some practice has been had, both in
the gallery and at the rife range. DR.
KembaH in his first appearance at the
5O0-yards firing point, made six bull 5
eyes in the ten shots allowed on the
score. This is above the average OF
team shooting for the distance. with
krag rifles and service charges.
At the Minute Men rife gallery last
night F. +. Macdonald made the score
Of 46 in a possible so from the prone
position
other scores were made that were
highly creditabIe TO those taking part
but all agreed that first acquaintance
with the long drag pull of the ordinary
Krag rifle was not the time for perfect
scores.
The team will probably be selected
from the first company OF rihemen, but
the places are open for competition "a

AbercrombIe & Co.'s Market Letter

Contrary to general expectations and
much to the surprise of shorts, the first
| installment of a series of preliminary re-
which was published today, proved to be
better than looked for considering the
long wet spell of weather In the south
Atlantic states, the two carolnas, while
showing some deterioration. averaged bet
ter than anticipated. This was quite a
disappointment to longs, who had relied
upon a very unfavorable review in North
and South Carolina, and 1t was reflected
to follow with an unfavorable report for
the same reason that caused some DAM
age In the twin states. 1t is feared that

of plant compared with last months av-
erages will be more than made up by
probable Improvement in the condition
of crops in the more western states of the
belt. particularly in Texas Following
in the wake of the above bulletin Of
the New York Journal of Commerce, the
Southwestern Cotton Buyers association
of Texas issued monthly review show
ing the cotton crop of Texas to have i'm
proved BIZ points compared with one
month ago, averaging the crop condition
of the state at 80 against S4.5 on June
Is. Needless to say, shorts were encour-
aged all the more in their operations by
this statement, and as preferable cloudy
and showery weather was the character
of the weather reported in the belt, with
an official forecast for a continuance Of
such weather, the weight of offerings was
self-evident by the gradual lowering of

The effectiveness of the movement in
the United States steel was marked by
the baekwardness of the preferred stock
and by the positive depreciation of the
sinking fund bond. The professional ele-
ment is thus seen to have played a large
part in the days market Foreign influ-
ences continued in favor of higher prices.
There was a conspicuous rally in the Rus
slams on the presumption that further
mouldering without immediate confiagra-
ton might be looked for in Russian af-
fairs The Bank of England reported
some deterioration of condition and there

cline here and approached the gold i'm
port point again. The small amount of
the bids and the low prices for the New
York city bonds offered yesterday were
the subject of wide discussion with I'M
favorable effect in opinion of the invest
ment situation. The effect was more man.
ifest in bonds than in other stocks. The
new upward state in prices came after
the announcement of non-action by st.
Paul directors on the supposed financial
plan. This apparently singular action was
based on a speculative assumption that
the delay in the st. Paul financing her

loss of to points. Sales for the day
were estimated at 225,OOO bales.
The opening was steady at decline OF

better cables than expected. while August
was affected by fear of notices tomorrow.
Spot people seemed to be buying August,
and that position rallied couple of points

general support as prices soon weakened
