United States was successfully con-
Guided when the battleship Louisiana,

and his party, dropped anchor in the
harbor of Colon.

the way. He took a trip around
Panama bay, and was welcomed in
Panama city, which lies outside of the
canal zone, by President Amador and
other officials of the Panama republic.
President Roosevelt descended from
his train at Pedro Miguel and climbed
up on one of the steam shovels, TAX
ing a seat alongside Engineer Gray,
whom he subjected to searching fire
of questions regarding the work. Dur
ing his con 3ersation Engineer Gray
took the opfA rtunity, on behalf of
himself and the other engineers, to de-
clare that unlike the railroad engin-
GERS, they were not paid for over
time. The president promised to
look into this matter. He stayed on
the steam shovel about 20 minutes.

Rico. Before leaving the isthmus Mr..

ASA LKDAY1S STOCK MARK ET
Lapsed Into a Condition of Extreme
 Lethargy.

New York July 10.-The stock mar ket leaped into condition of extreme lethargy to-day. Complete stagnation prevailed for long intervals in the trad ing. Transactions up to noon, which is the period in which most of days business is usually done, were less than 150, ,000 shares. Traders gave up at- tempts to contest the dullness and found no profit in Insignificant inter- changes among themselves. There was some effort to attribute the unwilling ness to trade to the desire to await the appearance of the government crop re- port The actual appearance of the re- port failed entirely to revive the mar ket, although it's showing was fully up to anticipations, which had been very sanguine.
 Yesterdays crop of rumors of rail- Iroad loans secured in Paris were pretty conclusively disposed of by denials from various interested quarters. Much attention was attracted by the abstract, sent out from Washington, of the condi- ton of national banks as of June IS and lits striking showing of the continued heavy demand for credits. Compared with the previous call on April 6, there has been an increase of $7, ,405, ,752 in in- dividual deposits accompanying an eX- pansion of $50, ,737 in cash reserves, with a growth in the loan item in the same time of $65, 71S,3SO. But compared with May 29 of last year, .the growth of $272, ,215, ,143 in individual deposits is par allel with the heavy increase of $307- l7l9,750 in the loan item, while the cash reserves are but $1,95S, $50 greater than they were in the corresponding period of last year.
 The New York banks to-day began which are called for to the extent of $10O0O,00O, beginning to-day. The mon ey market was unaffected, owing to the extreme stagnation of the stock market demand. One of the largest individual l lenders of money in Wall street was re- ported to have put out large sums car rying over the end of the year at 1-2 per CelA1' lo-udy' 1HlS represents lll0 recently prevailing bid price, while transactions have been made above that i rate.
 The government crop report was made an excuse to sell stocks by the traders, in accordance with their recent habit on all favorable news events. The inconsistency of the markets tendency was shown in another rally, but the closing was lifeless and heavy. The narrow proportions of the market left the small fluctuations of the day with out significance.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $1,5S5, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 At this the beautiful Mile, Cecil set her teeth and went after MT. Leopard Cornering him, she put him through a course of discipline that made everyone hold their breath in amazement and fear
 Several times lately Mile. Cecil has been compelled to perform without this big leopard, just the same as Bonavita at Bostock's, has to go on at times without the notorious Baltimore" the lion that tore out one of his arms sew eral years ago. She says, however, that she is determined to perform every day this week with every one of her leop- ards, despite the bad temper of the big one. She is determined to prove, now and for. all times, that she is mistress when in the cage.
