Witt Newins of Patchogue. L. l., was res
cued from a perilous position on Great
South bay yesterday morning by his son
Ralph, sixteen years old. He had been
floating about all night unconscious In an
open launch in the gale that ragged along
the coast. When the wind rose on Monday
night Capt. Newins started out in a small
open launch to see If the cable that moored
his large sailboat was secure. The bow
spirit of the tossing sailboat struck her
ownC- sharply upon the head. and he fell
unconscious into the bottom of the launch
and knew nothing more until yesterday
morning. when his son found him after a
long search.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 25.-TEat the
stock market will continue to fuctuate
within comparatively narrow limits and be
largely of professional character for some
time Is generally believed by prominent
spectators. In fact 1t is very evident that
the stronger banking element Is not In
clined to encourage any big bull specula-
ton for some time to come, believing that
the money market is hardly in a condition
to warrant It. With inactive speculation in
stocks, there appears to be no reason why
money should be the cause of any dis
turbance this fall 1t is true that the out
flow to the west Is now setting in in larger
volume. we'll as to the south, tie move
ment up to this time having been kept
down to comparatively small amounts ow-
ing to the lateness of the crop season.
-
The best judges of market conditions
maintain. on the hand. that there is nothing
In sight to cause outbreak of renewed
liquidation. 1t is the general testimony
that securities are now lodged in hands
from which they cannot be shaken out by
any ordinary developments. In support of
this contention, the confession of bank
ruptcy by the New York City Railway
Company yesterday is pointed to as good
evidence. Although 1t has been generally
known that a receivership was inevitable. a
good deal of comment has been occasioned
by the absolute Indifference of the market
to the formal announcement of the pro-
ceedings. 1t Is argued that If the market
had not been thoroughly liquidated advan-
tage would have been taken of this an
nouncement by the bear party. at least, to
make a drive with the hope Of dislodging
weakly held speculative lines. The fact
that no such attempt was made is held to
be pretty convincing proof that the pro-
fessional operators fully appreciated that 1t
would be futile.
Although the granting of immunity to the
Chicago and Alton railroad yesterday was
almost ignored from the stock market point
Of view, those of optimistic turn of
mind nevertheless derived good deal of
satisfaction from it.
-
Continued prevalence of favorable
weather in the crop districts naturally is a
factor on the constructive side of the stock
market and serves to maintain confidence
In another year of good earnings for the
railroads as a result OF abundant crops
The fresh controversy which has arisen be-
tween conflicting interests in the Illinois
Central Railroad Company Is not regarded
as of any great moment from q stock
market point of view. While these criminal
tions and determinations are the subject of
lively interest from academic point of
view. they are of not much further i'm
portance.

NEW YORK. September 25-Practically
the first crop scare of the season arrived
TO-DAY. very much beated. in western ad-
Vices reporting severe frosts throughout the
northwest and extending far south as
the lower portion of Illinois. In the abb

traders Of the stock exchange floor as
good reason for getting rid of the stocks
which they acquired yesterday. Conse-
qu-ntly the market underwent another re-

Of business ruled during the greater part
Of the day well below yesterdays closing
quotations In the grain market corn was
firm but the strength of that staple could
hardly be- described as commensurate with
the weakness Of the stock market.
The prospective stock Issue of the New
Haven railroad at $125 per share was an
other factor mentioned in connection with
the reactionary tone of the stock market.
The influence of this matter was gagged
largely in tie relation which involved
in a stock paving the dividends Of the New
Haven road to others making a smaller
return. Incidentally, New Haven stock.
although uf course, on light transact

dicted upward course and made jump
of point and half over the best SELL
ing price of yesterday without causing
any cOmmotion, or. in fact, bringing out
much of the stock until after the call.
In fact, as some one remarked the stock
went up easily. and when I+A was
reached the first response of the Cay was
made and a quotation lot of twenty-five
shares was secured Subsequently an
other similar lot went for "A IL and an

After the call the stock was again taken
up and figures high TAN was recorded

1t is evident the supply of stock available

posed higher level Is expected to be
reached or that the refinancing, of the com

court will make the stock more valuable
then the present figures indicate.
However, there is no certainty In regard
to this security at the present time any
more than there has been for years past.

There were more gas certificates for
