IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
STOCK MARKET
STRONG IN TONE
Prices Advance Sharply,
With Marked Gains in
Active Issues.

NEW YORK. July 16.-Fonowing the
London quotations the market opened
firm, with the general average of prices
i 10 Is per cent above Saturdays final
figures. Trading at the outset was fairly
active. Reading was the strongest
stock, opening up a fun point though
II lost half the gain.
After a moderate reaction IN the early
trading the market became decidedly
strong. and during the rest of the first
hour prices advanced sharply. with
gains in the active issues ranging from
! TO points. The news of the engage
ment Of 100000 pounds Of gold in London
for shipment TO New York was signal
for general buying all around the room.
and has been the chief factor in the
trading so far today. a significant fea-
ture of the trading was the appearance
OF houses often acting for J. =. Morgan
q Co.. as buyers OF large blocks of the
more prominent railroad issues. Arbi-
TRACE brokers have taken 10000 shares
Tor London account. Much Is said in
the board about the extent OF the short
interests. Brokers in the loan crowd
say that any amount OF stocks can be
loaned. and that the offers OF stocks are
very small Government bonds unChang-
ed: other bonds quiet.

She said her name was Sister Mag

sisterhood Of the Protestant Episcopal
church, but refused 70 give her real
name
In speaking OF her movements last
night, she said that she had attended
church in Alexandria and started to
her home at Lloyds, near Braddock
Heights. She reached there in safety,
not having been molested at any time,
but says she distinctly heard the pis-
toI snot which it was believed she had
fired According to her story she was
formerly a missionary to the In1ians
and it is her intention % begin mis-
sionary work in Alexandria. She is
preparing to conduct services in tent
The supposed suicide of a Sister Of

She walked rapidly, with bent head.
and was seen 10 leave the tracks and

81 wish 20 say that nothing will be
given out bearing on the defense until
the proper time arrives. All that I ask
for my client is a fair chance before
a jury OF his peers. There viii be no
doubt as To the result then. Harry
Thaw is sane and he can prove it. He
can prove his innocence of crime"
The selection of Mr. Hartridce to con-
duct Thaw's case means without doubt
that either William Rand. jr.. or James
W Osborne. former assistant district
attorneys. viii be engaged TO handle
the case before the jury. Mr. Hart
ridge has had little experience in Grim
fnal cases. and both Mr.. Rand and Mr.
Osborne are masters of criminal law
From the statements of Mr. Hortridge
only one conclusion can be drawn as
10 the nature Of the defense. and that
is that Thaw was Justified in his act
and that the real reason for the killing
has not been disclosed.
