In spite of the reiterated assurances contained in the reports of continued and increasing prosperity which have been gathered from all quarters of the country and hung before it's gaze day by day, in spite of optimism of the interviews given out by F.. II. IIarri- man, Judge Gary and other captains of industry nnd high finance, Wall street refuses to be comforted. In the street tho ticker talks more loudly and clo- quenily than can any financicr or pol. itician, and the ticker has told n story of something likc n billion dollars cut from the value of stocks within the past few weeks. Not all of this is "papcr loss" by any means, as tnous' ands of operators who have been forced to close out lines that they had been carrying at from 10 to 40 points below the prices at which they were pur' chased can testify. After each slump there have been numerous predictions that the trouble was over but each sue ceeding decline has been worse than the one before, and the "Roosevclt panic" of August has far outstrippcd the "silcnt panic" of March in it's shattcring of prices. In spite of the tempting quotations which the stock sheets hold before them investors still decline to scramble for bargains in railway shares or industrials. The sit uation has been described as case of "nervcs," but it more nearly rescm' bles nervous prostration so far as tho leaders of speculation are concerned.

Inc barons who are serving as walters and the counts who operate the humble hurdy'gurdy arc by no means all frag. ments of tho comic writer's imagina. tions. Even ono seIf-ms.ic emperor, Jacques I of the Sahara, makes New York his residence. Almost every day some representatives of the titled gen. try figure in the local news. There was an unusual crop of nobility stories on one day of the present week, how. over. when the newspapers contained reports of the marriage of n wealthy young woman Co n duke who not only did not insist upon n dot of millions but actually gave his bride an ancient castle as a wedding present, the fail. urc in business of baron who is the husband of light opera star, tho in. generation of another baron for pawn. ing his fianccc's diamonds and pocket. ing the proceeds, and the announcement of plans for tho approaching visit of Prince Wilhelm of Sweden. As Chuck Corners of the Bowary expressed it, after showing Prince Henry the sights of Chinatown, "nuttin' in dc king line kin fazc us now.'
 An indication of the progress that New York is making toward deserving the title of "thc city that never sleeps" Is afforded by Postmaster General Meyers announcement that he intends to introduce m evening dcliv. cry of mail at s ?. m., in the resi-. dcntial section of Manhattan. The req. sons given for this action are the necessity for Tightening the burden of the early morning deliveries and also to make it possible to send letter in this city and receive an answer the same day. New Workers are fairly well accustomed to the all night bank, the all night court, the all night law offices and barber shops and dental cs' tnblishmcnts. When they can receive their mail at any hour of the twenty. four there will be small reason for go. ing to bed at all in Manhattan.

METROPOLIS MAY FACE
 FINE OF &4,OOo,Ooo
Possibility of Penalty Surpassins Stand ard Oil Fine for Failure to Observe State eLaw--Telesraphers Strike Affects City Slightly.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Ncw York may find itself in n worse position than Standard Oil and the $29,OOO,0OO fine of the latter may be cast into the shade by a A44,ooo,ooO penalty against tho city, according to the statement of the chairman of special committed of tho Mcrchants' association which is working to stop tho pollution of the Hudson by sewage. Tho chairman of tho committee has discovered that un- der law passed by tho state Legisla. ture in 1903 the penalty for failure to obtain from the state permit for the discharge of sewage from any public sewer in the state is $500 and $50 for each day the o6cnsc continues. The act also required tho filing within sixty days of report on sewers existing at tho time and forbade any increase in tho discharge of these sewers without specific authority from the state. Ap- parcntly none of these provisions have been complied with and as over GOO new sewers have been built by the city since the adoption of the law, the Mcr. chants association figures that the city is now liable for tho trifling sum of $i4,ls6,735. Whether New York E pride in having the biggest of every thing would reconcile the citizens to the payment of this sum is doubtful.
