The Lauter piano

The evidence accumulates that
the Lauter Piano is more and more
being accepted by people Of musical
Judgment throughout the United
States as an instrument Of superlative-
" fine quality. We have been told
repeatedly lately by enthusiastic viS-
itors from North, East, South and West
that in their opinion, taking every
thing into consideration, the Lauter is
the finest piano now manufactured.
We explain our position on the
question Of piano quality in the new
Lauter catalog that has Just come from
the press. The second paragraph Of
the Introduction reads as follows:
Excellence can only be obtained
through work and love, through exer-
cising the art instinct. And it is be-
cause we have literally done our work
for the love of doing it that it has been
done SO well. We have taken an
artistic pride in the production of our
pianos, and have set for ourselves the
highest possible standard without con-
Sidering purely material rewards. We
have been able to produce instruments
of such extreme excellence that they
have been accorded the warmest com

] ES1ERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
DuIIncss Unrelieved-smart Trading in
 Final Hour.

New York, July 1.-The torpor of the stock market was unrelieved to- day, in spite of the small increase in the volume of the days dealings, due to the selling of the final hour. The professional element attempted to in- augurate an upward movement of prices. The attempt was based upon the evidence yesterday that pressure was off the market, and on the as- sumption that a considerable uncov- cred short interest must exist which could be driven to cover. The various rumors which were advanced to help on the upward movement showed no noelty in conception. The revival of the subject of the Great Northern ore lands deal was affected by a cabled rumor from London quoting an anon- ymous director of the United States Steel corporation as positively assert ing that the project has been complet- ed. The volatile Hill stocks were the only ones to show much effect. St. Paul moved under the influence of sep arate reports in connection with the supposed plans for financing the com- pany's pacific coast extension. The roads showing of a decrease of net earnings for May did not hold it back, as the free outlay in operating ex- penses which brought it about was be- lieved to be connected with immediate outlays on the extension, which might thus defer the necessity of offering se- curities in the present unpropitous conditions. The addition of Reading about completes the list of stocks to show any effect from the abortive ef- fort to lift prices. The advances were indifferently held for a time and then gave way with a reversal of the mar ket position of the professional ele- ment when they say the futllity of the attempt to lift prices. The easier con ditions in the money market, normal to the early part of July were main tained, but no confidence was felt in their permaneney.
 The show of strength in the grain markets was hardly an influence on stocks as 1t was attributed to damage to foreign crops rather than our own. Some attention was given to reports of further cutting of grain rates by western railroads, which could not be argued to be of advantage to values of the stocks Weakness of tn emarket for copper in London helped to depress the copper group in the stock market. The break in Colorado Fuel was in- terpreted as pool liquidation, and helped to the reversal of the earlier
