 A new high record was made in St. Paul preferred when the stock touched POI. The previous best price was 200 3-4 in 1902.
 The London market was open again and was an aid to New York in buying about S0sO00 shares. The whole world over there is decidedly more hopeful feeling as regards the Russian situation since the labor troubles fizzled out.
 The heavy buying by Warren & Co. in Steel common, the strength of Erie common and Southern railway, and the rise in Reading and Atchison all pointed to inside manipulation. MT. Morgan is regarded, since the Steel meeting, as the biggest bull in the street.
 There was no particular news regard ing any stocks. The same arguments which were used apply to all stocks alike-abundant harvests and continued expansion in general trade. That will bring about larger dividends for many companies, if prosperity continues long enough.

 Northwestern was strong, but it was so closely held that few persons care to take it up as leader. It may be said to be pratically out of the market.
 Commission houses have been doing little this week. There was some sign of a return of the public about week ago.

 For the second time the stock market was dull, although the price move- ments were large. These sort of condi- tions suggest considerable manipulation and an unwillingness to spoil the mar ket through proflt-taking.
 The intense heat was probably re- sponsible for some of the apathy on the part of the speculative community. Few brokers were on the floor of the ex- change, and most of them took care to leave as soon as they had completed their business.
 On the board there was a notable ex- pansion in the volume of bond sales.

Volume of Transuctions Well Sustained.

Volume of Transactions We'll Sustained.
 New York, Aug. 7-The volume of transactions in to-day's stock market was rather better sustained than yes- terday after the normal activity of the opening dealings, notwithstanding the oppression of the heat. But prices did not fare so we'll It was evident that 8 shifting process was going on to facil- itate digestion of profits and to tighten the burden of the large accumulatlons necessary to force the upward move- ment of prices. Yesterdays strong market brought in home additional out side demand over night and it was the execution of orders of this charac- ter which made the activity of the first hour. The narrow range of fluctua- ttons on which this large volume of business was transacted showed that the supply of stocks was kept closely commensurate with the demand. The professional reading of this acting in the market was that stocks were being distributed to take profits by recent speculative buyers. After this stage of the dealings had passed, Pennsylvania was the aggressive leader of the new upward movement. This diversion of the speculation to new quarters of the market was regarded at first with sat- isfaction by the bulls, as the excessive movement in the rans-continental stocks had begun to arouse suspicion. But the change in the leadership of the movement proved lacking in efficacy and in the late dealings the trans-con- tinental group began to fall OH. The effect of this on sentiment proved Of more influence than the new points or strength. A break in Consolidated Gas helped to unsettle the tone of the mark ct. This was based upon the adjourn ment of the executive committee with 8 formal announcement that the quarter ly dividend the declaration of which Is now due, was not considered This left a way open for an inference that the dividend would be left in abeyance
 by refraining from action in this way. This served to cast a shadow upon the confident speculative hopes which were
 being indulged of a comprehensive sys- tenn of dividend increases on long list of stocks. Hopes of this kind were the main stay of the principal speculation
 going on. The early buoyancy of the Hill stocks was based on renewed ru- mors of an early consummation of the are land deal. The large increases in gross earning for July shown by the Vanderbilt companies benefits New York Central The cheerful resumption
 of financial markets in London after 8
 three days holiday helped the early
 tone here. Last prices of the day showed mixed changes and the trans

too obvious, but to grow them is not

to contradict our objects of searching

unique merits, that "better" roses have

a very good one to commence with.
The children form into a double cir
Gle, choosing by lot fox and goose.
Great merriment is created by the
fox trying to catch the goose, and thus
become victor in the game. Should
it be an out-of-door party, the children
can be formed in line and at a given
signal they run for a goal, the first
one touching being awarded a prize.
Naturally the children enter with
great zest into game of this kind,
which means fleet foot and a steady
eye. Then can come merry game of

also on account of their thorough
adaptability to the simple games, and
their abandonment of social restraint
in their absorption in the entertain
ment provided. To the casual locker
on at party, be it indoors or out,
it seems very simple affair to get up.
This is not true, however, for if one
cannot afford an instructor, it takes
days of careful thought and the great
est tact possible to make it a success,
and to keep the little ones amused
from coming to going. If one has to
look after the party themselves, they
must remember the first game must
be a jolly one. This is so as to break
the ice, take away all constraint, and
put the children in touch with the
spirit of party. "Fox and geese is

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles of the
blood are sure to do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.

Amusement for Children and Grown
Ups.
Ups.

Ups.
With us in Florida, out door amuse-
ing of our children. In order to help
mothers keep the children off the
streets we offer some new sugges-
tions for their trial Take time to
go out in the yard and explain these
games to them and you will find your
time we'll spent. A writer who de-
votes his life to this kind of work
in northern cities says:
while this may be fad, it is Ger
tainly a most beneficial one, and while
many parents cannot afford to have
all instructor for their little ones, they
can take lessons from those who
do, and help their children to amuse
themselves with new and varied
games. They can introduce new feat
ures at their little parties, which
would have never been thought of,
had it not been taken up as an oc-
cupation, by instructors
Some of these games are very in
teresting, one in especial is called
Attitude" In this game one child
is blind-folded and stands i'll the cen-
ter of a circle, with the children
around him, running about. When
their leader GALES attitude" they all
stop, taking unique positions, which
they must hold, for the boy or girl
who falls over is ct" The blind-fold-
ed child in the center scurries around
with hands out, trying to find a play
mate.
''Black baby" is another one of the
children's favorites, of which they
never tire. Some one stands in the
centre of the circle, with a ball at
his feet. When all are ready he calls
the name of some child, who runs
out and grabs the ball, while the rest
of the children scamper in every di-
rection. The child holding the ball
calls zone, two, three, stop!" and all
stand perfectly still. The child then
throws the ball, trying to hit some
one; in lodging they are allowed to
move one foot, but not take both off
the ground. A child who has been hit
three times receives three black marks
marks made with burnt cork, and this
makes him ''black baby" The chill
dren are very fond of adorning their
r II
ing game. One of the mothers was
greatly amused by the streaks of
green chalk on her sons face
Then, too, the parties. There is
always a facination about a child's
party, which makes it of great in
terest to the grown-ups. This may
be in part because of the natural
gracefulness of the little ones and

the uterus. 1t induces refreshing sleep

POLICEMEN RAID
 GAMBLING ROOMS
FOUND ROULETTE WHEEL, CHIPS AND DICE IN SAFE IN ROOM ON FOURTH FLOOR OF METRoPLl- TAN HOTEL.

A raid was made yesterday afternoon on alleged gambling rooms in the Metro politan hotel by Chief Wier, Policemen Nation, Nix, Parker and Street. No ar- rests were made but some parapher- nalia was captured, including a roulette wheel, poker chips, dice and a cover for a card table. These were found in one of several connecting rooms on the fourth floor, where it was thought gambling was going on.
 The officers say the doors were locked. The first one was easily broken open, but considerable difficulty was experience ed in breaking the second door, it belng locked, barred and reinforced with a sheet of iron.
 When entrance was finally effected the officers found no one in the room. An iron safe was next attacked and broken open and in 1t was found the roulette wheel poker chips and dice. Policeman Nation said that while the doors were being forced open he saw ladder or plank placed from a window on the third floor across the alley way to the new part of the hotel building He then rushed down stairs to head off those who might have crossed the ladder but was too late

 Hill Ferguson, chairman of the commit tee, and Secretary Babb yesterday held a conference with the manufacturers of all varieties of clay articles and the ar arrangements were made.
 The manufacturers will have a very handsome design made. It will include samples of the wares manufactured by each of the firms. and will probably be a very artistic affair.
