ter to absorb the heavy liquidation which
came upon the market again today. With
the progress of the day the pressure Of
long stock on any advantageous oppor-
tunity became clearly manifest and eff
forts at support were almost wholly
abandoned. An example of the action
of the market In face of good news was
furnished IN the case of Anaconda, which
broke violently on realizing on yester-
days dividend increase before the gen.
eral market began to weaken. Its de-
preston was communicated to Amalga-
mated Copper. The mOrey market today
offered no evidence of any urgent demand
for funds on call. although the tone was
somewhat firmer. But the influence Of
lenders of money in inducing the Hquida-
ton of stock was believed nevertheless
to be preponderant influence. A meet
ing of st. Paul directors without TAX
ing action on the expected plan for f.
nancing the Pacific coast extension add
ed to the speculative feeling of disap-
nointment and increased the weakness Of
the stock market. which was most acute
in the last hour with closing prices near
the lowest. General net losses ran from
to over 2 points and the leading specu-
lative favorites lost from to points
and UPWARDS on the days dealings.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. $l,S35GOO U1ited States bonds were
all unchanged on call.

ONE PERSON OUT
Of EVERY 1900 IN
j. s. IS BLIND

Washington. July 9.-One person I'm
every 1900 was blind and one In every $50
deaf in the United States In 1900 ac-
cordlng 10 a special census report just
issued The inquiry was conducted un-
der the direction OF Dr. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell
The total blind I'm the United States
In 1900 were o. 1853, OF whom 30. .645 were
totally blind and 29l1S partially blind.
OF the total blind q 064 were males and
2f.10s females. Blindness is chiefly de-
feet OF adult life, almost So per cent. OF
the blind becoming so after 20 years OF
age. About one-tenth OF the total blind
were born so.
The number of blind per 1000 OF popu-
lation was greater among the negroes
than among the whites, and greater
among the foreign born whites than
among the native whites. In about per
cent of the cases of blindness reported
the parents OF the blind were cousins
OF the blind whose parents were so re-
lated 20 per cent. were congentally blind
while among the blind whose parents
were not cousins the proportion congeni-
tally blind was only 6S per cent.
OF the blind at least 10 years OF age,
20 per cent were engaged In some gainful
occupation. The percentage OF persons
engaged In professional pursuits. trade
and transportation and I'm manufacturing
and mechanical industries Is larger
among the totally blind than among the
general population.
Deafness, the report says. is more
common In the northern part Of the
| United States than in the southern, and
there are more deaf males than females
The total deaf In the United States Is
rtxs - ,.l, 40
| totally deaf and 81 S6l partially deaf.
From the latter class however, are elimi-
mated those merely hard OF hearing"
The census report OF 1890 gave the
number OF deaf as 12i,17S. and the opin-
| ion Is expressed that the returns for 1890
! are undoubtedly excessive, while those
| for 1900 are deficient OF the totally
deaf 52.5 per cent. were males. Negroes
constitute ll.6 per cent OF the general
