MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Of the Days Dealings In All
Tho Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov 1.-THE stock mar
ket displayed Il spirit Of caution in fol
lowing up the advancement which devel-
oped yesterday. The speculation showed
a disposition to balk at some Of the cf
forts at stimulation in the way Of tips
ana assertions of coming favorable de
velopments regarding individual proper
ties which We're found impossible of YER
incatlon These efforts centered largely
around the PaCifics and Reading and

OF an establishment of cordial relations
between the Hartman and Hill interests
ana IN the other with plan for devest
ment of ownership of coal properties
which would include the distribution of
shares IN a holding company to Reading
stockholders. The shyness manifested by
the professional element in following this
attempted leadership WAS due in part to
the suspicion that some selling to realize
was perceptable on the advance in
prices. More was due. however, to the
fear of premature inducements in sDec-
ulative commitments before the relief of
the general situation had proved :,de-
puate. Confidence continued to grow in
the progress of this relief The holiday

PlZILE AT WATERViLLE.
Not Enough Money for Conley-Gocde
And Stewart Give Fine Exhibition.

Waterville. Me. Nov. 27.-(SpeciaD
The boxing exhibition. or what was
to have been an exhibition. at the
Armory last evening ended in fizzle
Larry Conley of Boston refused to APP
pear because Of q shortage of money
in the house, thus eliminating what
was to have been the main bout Tom
Larrabee of Path failed to appear and
the other main bout. in which Lara
bee was to have met Jack Kenyon OF
Bangor, was also cancelled. The only
real bout of the evening was the semi
final between Bobby Goode of Brock
ton and Young Stewart Of Bangor. II
was the best exhibition OF boxing seen
ill Naterville in many q day The pre-
liminary between Joseph Lambert and
Young Burke. both of Waterville. wa;
stopped at the end of the third round
The evening was one Of intermis-
sions, there being a delay of about an
hour between each event. The late ar
rival of the train from Portland. on
which vas Bobby Goode and on which
wasn't Kid Currey of Gardiner. kept
the fans in suspense. When Goode
found that his opponent had failed to
arrive he consented to go on with
Young Stewart of Bangor and got all
that was coming to him
After Il delay Of about another hour
someone stepped into the ring and an
nounced that the principal event had
been called oft on account of the refus-
al of Conley to appear as there was
not money enough in the house. The
trouble then commenced. The people
didn't like to he buncoed out of their
money. The management refused to
return the admissions and the people
were turned away. naturally dissatis-
fed. The preliminary commenced at
sl5 o'clock, but was a short affair.
The preliminary between Joseph Lam
bert of the North end and Young Burke
of Water street. furnished the usual
amount of fun from the fact that neither
are very well versed in the art. It was
called at the end of the third. hy mu-
tuai consent. as Burke was too much for
his opponent and the exhibition ,,nipter-
esting.
The semi final between Bobby Coode
ana Young Stewart was a good bout
Inc men each used the same style or
hsntlhg and each had considerable
science. This was Goodies second fight
TINS week and he was not in the best
OF condition. Stewart getting the better
OF him i'll each round Jimmie Connors
of Bangor was referee.

COMING FROM CHINA.
Many Officers on Foreign Stations
Want to See the Game.

Annapolis, Nov. 21.-The Naval Atll-
1etic Association has received letters
from over 500 naval officers on foreign
squadrcns. including men now stationed
in China. saying that they will be in
Philadelphia on Nov 30 to watch "the
Navy lick the Army again and asking
for tickets
Efforts have been made and are being
made to supply this unusual 18th hour
demand. but it seems probable that
some of the officers will fail to get
tickets. The demand this year has been
greater than 1t ever has been before.
and it has been impossible to satisfy
more than 20 or IS per cent. of those
who have asked for tickets
Members of the Navy football team
this year. with the exception of Capt.
Douglas. received only four tickets
apiece. On previous years they have
got from seven to Il each.
The nidshipmen themselves get three
tickets. One of these has to be used
by the midshipman himself. and the
other two he can do what hn chooses
with.
1t is thought here that fewer tickets
will reach the hands of spectators than
ever before. Every prccaution is beinI,
taken by the Navy Athletic Association
and by the midshipmen themselves to
prevent any of the Nays tickets be-
ing sold. Generally the spectators man
age i'll some way to secure 4 ycod!v
number. and do a thriving business
with them.
Clear weather and a brisk breeze were
welcomed at the Naval Academy Tues
day as the field soon dried and the tea m
was able to practice their plays with
firm footing This is regarded as
most important, as the midshipmen
must depend upon their agility and
speed to win over West Point. whose
BACKS are probably greater line plung-
ers than those on the NAVY team In
TACT. il is strongly hoped here that
franklin field will be in a dry cond;-
ton for game in which the midshin
men are certain TO attempt all sorts of
plays which will entirely deperd for
their success upon the quickness and
nerve. Just what plays have be.,
worked out at the secret practice th;s
year are not known.

Cause of Stammering.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
''Stammcring is often more the result of
nabit than from any defect of the vocal
organs" says Prof b. l.. Pavyer. 1T is
generally, if not always, caused by a spasm
of the larynx. resulting from nervous con-
traction of the organs thus refusing to per-
NIT a proper flow Of the air current produc-
ing tone. People rarely or never stammer
when singing. for then the attention is di-
vided between words and music. the nerv-
business is momentarily forgotten and the
passage OF the air current through the lar
ynx is continuous and unohstructed.
''Stammering very often - the result of
imitation. sometimes intentional, sometimes
unconscious. and the atfiiction is much more
general than might be supposed. In one
comparatively small section OF the city there
are thirty-hve stammcrcrs, and every one
of them is able to demonstrate TO his own
satisfaction not only that he does not STAN
mer very badly, but that some other person
he knows stammers a great deal worse than
himself. Every stammerer is intensely
sensitive about his infrnity. rarely for
gives and never does forget any allusion to
.. which in his mind savors OF ridicule."
