Enter from opposite directions two
little boys, with hats on, as if meet.
ing in the street.
George .-Hulloa!
Eddie. -Hulloa yourself! Where We
you been?
George Over to the post. Office.
Say, | saw Old Bill down on the
street. THE boys throw themselves
down on log for chat.
Eddie. -What, Old Bill Mean rs
thought he was SO used up he couldn t
get out.
George guess you'd think he
was used up, if you should see his red
face. Why, his nose is just like fire.
Eddie. Pooh, he's poisoned
That's what ails him.
George. Who poisoned him, I'd
like to know.
Eddie. oh, he poisoned himself!
George. What do you mean, Ed
Morris? AS If anybody would
poison himself
Eddie. Well, / guess you haven't
learned your lessons very we'll, lately
Don't you know that Bill Means
drinks all the rum and whisky he can
get hold of?
George. oh, that's what you
mean. Yes. of course do. But
what's that got to do with his red
face?
Eddie Why, haven't you learned
about the heart?
George NO, we haven't got to
that, yet.
Eddie Dumping up):-Well, I'll
tell you. You put your hand right
here( suiting action to word) and
you'll feel something going thump,
thump, thump- only soft, you know.
George tries to feel the beating. J
Maybe you can't feel il now because
your clothes are SO thick, but you can
when you take them off tonight.
Well, that's your heart, and it goes
SO, all the time, and keeps pumping
the blood into the little tubes all over
the body. You know about the blood,
don t you?
George indignantly - Course I
do. Don't you pose ever saw q
jack.knife?
Eddie. Well, then, when Bill
Means, or anybody else, drinks
whisky, or wine, or any Of the stuff
that's got alcohol in it, his heart
beats too fast, and his nerves go to
sleep SO they can't manage the little
bits Of tubes the blood goes through.
Then lots OF blood comes into them.
and they stretch and stretch till they
can't come back small again; and
they swell so that the blood shows
right through the skin.
George - hewl Anybody must
want to drink pretty bad, when it
makes them look like that.
. Eddie We'll, it does. every time.
George rises, and the boys walk
along, slowly. I tell you what,
George freeman, I shall give whisky
and beer, and all such stuff, good
letting. alone.
George. You better think shall,
too. I'm not going to spoil my good
looks, | tell yon. (Stopping. } But

the growing weakness of Russian seeuri-
ties would serve to divert French invest
ments from their into other fields thus
promising we'll for applications to French
capital to share in American bond issues
But II was realized that the immediate
effect of the disturbed financial conditions
abroad is unpropitlous for any commit
ments. The New York money market was
unchanged today, and call loans remained
very easy in spite of probable prepara-
tions for tomorrow's sale of S12 100000 of
New York city bonds.
The outcome of this flotation is await
ed with much interest for the light it will
throw on the state of investment de-
mands,. the apathy of which has been a
persistent drag weight ON securities of all
kinds. The announcement of the extent
to which government funds are being de-
posted In banks in connection with the
Panama canal bond issue, the amount
reaching $35 000, 900, was a reassuring fac
tor on the money situation. Reports of
$57, GOO coo note issue by the American Tel
ephone company in anticipation of seconds
to its bond issue, was regarded as evil
dence of the continued heavy require
ments of corporations for new capital.
Interest was shown in the reported sale
of a stock exchange seat at $4,000 as
against the preceding price of sS1 900, and
a high record price above $4,000
The drop of prices was due as much to
withdrawal of demand, as to any selling
pressure, and there was some recovery
from the bottom prices, but the closing
was heavy.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value, 81, 325. 900.

Ware G. LeIand's Market Letter.

Cotton had a better undertone today on
more favorable cables from Liverpool and
better tone in foreign stock markets
which was reflected in the quotations of
foreign national securities.
Prices took on a slight advance which
caused bears to look upon them with re-
newed favor. as a selling proposition, es-
peelally around noon when some very
favorable private crop reports were re-
ceived and the first bale of cotton was
reported at Austin, Tex.
The weekly crop reports by the govern
ment were rather disappointing to the
bears. They complained of lack of suf-
ficient sunshine In Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Texas and told of damage
by rains and oyerfiows in North Carolina,
the other Atlantic states were only light
ly touched upon and the statements con-
corning them were too conservative to be
of any value.
The market refused to go up on these
reports, however and I'm fact, fell off a
few points after they were read. bears
seizing upon what looked like a hard
spot to them to put out fresh short lines.
Many points in Texas are now reporting
that the picking season is practically at
hand and many spot men look for a COM
paratively early Texas movement in spite
of what has been said to the contrary
The question now Is as to how much
prices will be affected by the new cot
ton 1t is entirely probable that spinners
will hold off even more than they are now
If the August movement Is of anything
like large proportions.
At the moment the volume of fresh busi-
ness with the other side is not so large as
it generally is at this time Of the year.

New York July 24.-The operating forces
In the stock market which had embarked
In a movement for an advance in prices
of stocks apparently reeonsidered their
immediate plans today and deslsted rath-
or abruptly from their activities. These
activities were quite strikingly manifest
yesterday in face of the disturbing news
from Russia, making Wall street an iso-
lated instance of strength amongst the
group of the worlds great security mar
ket. 1t did not develop today what was
the motive for the change in market tao
tics, but it was the general supposition
that a revision of previous estimates Of
the Importance upon the worlds financial
outlook of the Russian situation, lay at
the root of matter. 1t did not appear inn
mediately that the tone of the market had
undergone an alteration, although the
opening dealings showed the same re-
Spouse to the foreign disturbances of yes
terday.
Then followed a vigorous recovery in
response to supporting orders 1t was
then that an outpouring of stocks to real
lie gave the signal that accumulation
der. The temporary upward squirt was
attributed to the initiative of traders
who aimed to follow the leadership point
ed out by Yesterdays action of the mar
ket
Today's principal activity was exhausted
by the end of the first hour and there
was a marked shrinkage afterward and
growing apathy in speculative Interest.
The assistance to be realized for the
New York market from tranquil condi-
lions abroad was given more force in
the days speculative consideration. The
abrupt change wrought in the foreign
exchange market by the Russian deyel
opments, and total cutting off of New
York from access to the large incoming
gold arrivals in London, was pointed to
as a striking example of the indirect
effects here to be apprenended from dis
turbed foreign markets.
With foreign markets under pressure,
any attempt to advance prices in New
York would have the effect of inviting
realizing sales on security marketable
here. to afford means for protection of
less liability holdings abroad. Hitherto
the arguments have been advanced that

sas the rainfall was said to be beneficial

The Russian situation remains unsettled

day on covering of shorts and a little
buying for long account, inspired by
firmer cables and reports of wet weather
in the eastern belt. But there was no
snap to the buying and the market weak
ened toward midday under a renewal of
local bear pressure and liquidation which
was undoubtedly due to some measure, TO
the disheartenlng adviees concerning the

losses reported from the South Atlantics,
but to some extent were Offset by more
favorable weather conditions In the CEN

Matters were less confused in the whole

about gotten rid of, and now steady and
comparatively reasonable prices prevail.

Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

Although prices closed tonight only four
to FIVE points lower than yesterday, the
option on August broke through the ten
cent limit, making a new low level. The
Liverpool this morning seemed to belle
the alarming reports from Russia but 1t
soon became apparent that the steadness
there was more the result of proft-taking
by shorts than OF any belief that condi-
tions have improved. The numerous well
circulated accounts of crop damage re-
sulting from the rains in the Atlantic
district had prepared the trade for dis
tinctly unfavorable weekly crop report,
but when it became known that only
North Carolina and the lowlands of Ala
bama had suffered damage from excessive
rainfall and that Texas did not even
voice a complaint about the weevil, there
was general desire TO sell. Shorts, who
had taken profits were anxious to get
back on the bear side again. In truth
when the ideal conditions in Texas are
considered there is little wonder that the
short side is popular even without the
added consideration of the demoralized
state of European financial markets, as
the amount and natural result of the revo-
lutionary conditions existing in Russia.
