The most important factor in the
stock market today was heavy selling
OF Steel common by houses with west
ern connections and it was assumed
that a large amount OF speculative
stock acquired by western interests has
been liquidated. Brokers handling the
selling orders said the selling was in
duced wholly by the decrease in orders
on hand on June 80 compared with the
same item on March 81. While this
liquidation was in progress brokers Of

Miller & Co.-Prices are ridiculously
low. stocks are earning two to three
times what they pay in fact net more
TO the buyer than ever before, the
conditions bringing this about have
been numerous but in the regular order
of affairs these conditions Will change

therefore is upward for the long pull

HEARD ON THE B0URSE.

The Steel earnings are the largest
the company has ever shown: it is
about "a per cent. on the common for
the past year. The Morgan interests
were opposed TO any increase in the
dividend at this time. they are putting
the earnings into the plant at Gary
and are not putting out bonds or not
es or new stock; it really means the
next time they put Steel common on
per cent. basis it Will stay there year
in and year out.-W- r. II.

may be that profit taking on pro-

A good recovery I'm the tone Of this
London market yesterday, which ap-
pears to have been further developed
today, less apprehension concerning the
Egyptian troubles as reflected in Man
chester, paved the way for a rally in
our market yesterday afternoon which
was helped along by the strength of
the Erie, support to the Harriman's
and finally by anticipations OF a very
favorable Steel report, which was
published after the close. The only
feature OF the report which could cree
ate adverse comment. was the decrease
in new orders of Is per cent booked
since the first of July. as compared
with last year. In all other respects
the report was distinctly better than
expected. The morning reviews point
to the earnings of Erie as justifying
full dividends on first and second pre-
ferred but the suggestion is made
that the dividends may be reduced in
view of tire roads financial necessities.

Rocks showed little interest, in

he was insincere. Rocks had been
drinking in several places during
the day He said he had hired 2
young men to accompany him to
Granite but did not suspect them.
The police are looking for them.

Senator Hargis had 5 brothers.
He has lost in the feud.
The situation in this little noun
tain hamlet to which | came to re-
port the trial, is felt rather than
seen. One is subtly conscious of
an atmosphere of tragedy.
But here the feudists are avoid
ing each other. They do not sleep
beneath the same roofs or eat at
the same tables. Caut Ben Even,
1 Of the fiercest feudists, made his
trip to the trial over the noun
tains at night.
This little incident shows the
terrible intensity.
Late in the afternoon Tom
Cockrill, who slew Ben Hargis,
brother Of the senator and Judge
Hargis, came over to the hotel to
talk with friend. He leaned back
in a chair against a column.
Presidently Ebert Hargis, big,
fine looking fellow, youngest of the
surviving Hargis brothers, saun-
tered over from the court house
with John Abner, strong Hagis
man. None or the men saw what
was coming. Cockrill's back was
toward the court house, and Hargis
and Abner were on the steps not
feet from Cockrill when each
saw the other.
The situation was thrilling. The
look of utter surprise that flashed
into each face was revelation.
None was looking for such an en-,
counter. Not an eyehd quivered
There was not the slightest sign OF

There was never a finch, or culver
or gesture to betray what was go

men as they faced each other.
1t was over in an instant. Cock

went on talking. Hargis and Alb
ner passed by. A few moments
later Cockrill slowly saunteret
J sauntered over to the court house
