(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, July 11.-The torpor
Oh the stock market was unrelleved
today, In spite of the small increase
IN the volume of the days dealing
due to the selling at the final hour.
The various rumors which were 40.
Vanced to help on the upward move.
meiit showed no novelty In conccp.
ton, having served their purpose
many times already. The revival of
the subject of the Great Northcr.,
ore lands deal was affected by a
cabled rumor from London quoting
an anonymous director Of the United
States Steel corporation as positively
asserting that the project has been
completed. The Hill stocks were the
only ones to show much effect.
st. Paul moved under the inau.
ence. Of separate reports in connec.
ton with tho supposed plans for
financing the company's Pacific coast
extension.
The addition of Reading abou,
completes the list OF stocks to show
any effect from the abortiye effort
to lift prices.
The advances were indifferentIy
held for time and then gave way
with reversal of the market posi-
ton of the professional element when
they saw the futility of the attempt
to lift prices. Weakness of the mar
ket for Copper in London helped
to deprcss the copper group in the
stock market. The break in Colo
RADIO Fuel was interpreted as pool
liquidation and helped to the rcver
sal of the earlier movement In tho
general list.
The final hours transaction proved
the largest Of the day and the clos.

Divorce laws are not too easy. Wo-
men have got to have some way to get
rid Of worthless. no account husbands.
AS 1t is now. women stand n good deal
more than they ought to and there are
not enough divorces granted. because

BED ROLL FOR OFFICERS.
Men In Shoulder Straps Want All

VIC SSTV1tOFkS.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. July H.
Army officers and others who arc
obliged to attend the manoeuvres arc
renewing the agitation for bed roll
similar to that carried by the enlist.
ed men, and known as the blanket
roll
There will he some experiments
with several samples of such an ar
ticle while the troops. including the
regulars and detachments of the New
York National Guard. are encampod
at Mount Gretna. Penn, this sum-
mer. The bed roll has been made up
of sufficient dimensions so tina.
when folded it will contain thin
hospital cot mattress and the usual
bed clothes carried in the field.
Ii Is intended to have the canvas
OF the bed roll so large that it may
be used as shelter tent on occas-
Ion, and when properly dashed to
supports It will serve the purpose of
hammock. Officers who served
SLAMS and Japanese had such a bed
roll. and 1t is the subject of service
remark that our army has not adopt.
ed such useful device, especially
when there is so much travel to DO
done. For the most part, officers re-.
sort to their own ingenuity to get up
bedding which they may carry In the
field
1t Is not intended to supply the
bed rolls to officers, but to permit
them to buy them at cost price, as is
done tn the case of the trunk locker,
which I, sold for about 81 and the
field desk, which costs about $12.
The adoption of the bed roll may fol-
low as result of the work of the
army In the field this summer.

Cheshire Woman Had Wife's Claim
 Against WalIingford Estate.
 The suit of Miss Margaret Monahan, of Cheshire, against George W. Keeler, as the administrator of the estate of Israel s. Burr, late of Wallingford, has been settled, and will not be tried in the superior court. Announcement of the withdrawal of the action has all ready been filed there. The action was for $5,OO0.
 The plaintiff, upon the death of Israel s. Burr, put in administration papers as his wife. These were contested by the other heirs on the ground that she had no claim as the wife of the de- fendant. A marriage certificate was then produced showing that she had been married to Burr in Wallingford in June, 1880.
 The attorney for the heirs then al- legged that Burr had wife at the time of the marriage, and, therefore, that the second marriage was illegal. The records of the superior court showed that he had not secured a divorce from the first wife until about two months after his marriage to Miss Monahan.
 In the meantime, thinking that she was his wife, Miss Monahan kept his house tidy. The bill is for services as housekeeper for twenty-four years and amounts to $4,900.

 Wall street as a whole vas taken completely by surprise by tie sharp break in prices. Most persons were .ex- pecting a recovery after the long-ex- tended decline
 Consolidated Gas was about the only prominent stock that rose while the list declined. American Ice was strong also on few sales.
