| New York, n Y, August S.-Th'
London market had only an effec
prior to the opening OF the marke
again today there We're too many
problems of domestic nature to b.
solved by liquidation, for the New
York Board to pay any attention tt
English or continental trading.
The markets over there have beer
largely liquidation upon final holders
in the country and until foreign buy
ers get enough confidence to reinvest
their purchases are negligible guam
tity. You can call the last three days
of trading what you will that was
perhaps a mixture of heavy shorts
selling in the early part of the week
with intermittent periods Of covering
on the liquidation of investors bat
! the latter developments in these
three days trading, as seen this
large lines of stock OF descriptions
by overloaded pools and large invest
ors. The statement of the acting at
torney general after the low point
had been reached. and damage done
was useless affair and platimdinous
in its wording. Mr. Bonaparte in the
early morning press frankly talked
about criminal prosecution, federal
court examination of Union Pacific as
sets, the beneficient influence OF large
fines on commercial prosperity and
ended up by stating that he would
soon be back in Washington and from
there go to Maryland and attend .
political convention as the represent
tative of the radical wing OF the Re
publican party now in the saddle.
Take these two statements, the one
before the liquidation began and the
other at its close and supposed to be
inspired-what do they mean? Poll
ties not philanthropy; for we do not
think that late events of a political
nature look out for the interests and
welfare of the people in general. We
believe that many of the disputes be-
tween Federal and state authorities,
between corporations and the former,
will quiet down into long drawn ont
legal battle and that the concensus
of public feeling will gradually mod
ify as general trade contracts.
We have become so rich in this
country that many people are getting
"heady" and find fault with every.
thing. Our bank situation ought to
improve with this liquidation and we
will go through another fall and early
winter with the money worries OF
high keyed prosperity. The copper
consumers will get things pretty
much where they want them In these
big aggregations of capital the adjust
ment from high level to medium level
is done with more accur.
acy and ease than ever before, be-
cause it is done in bulk and by the
skilled hands of the few On any de
cided advance short stock will again
come out in volume as well as liqui
dation and the market will get techni-
cally oversold again and lapse into
dullness. The buyers are not here
and they will only some back slowly,
but the weak spots are being pretty
cleaned up though it is
hard on industrials.

Winter Feeding Of the Birds.

large number OF wild birds are being
helped through the winter by thoughtful
human friends about town. Though the
weather thus far has not been severe
enough to make their need very great
they have shown a lively appreciation OF
the food which their friends have put out
for them and have more than made UP
for 1t by bestowing their confidence fully
and freely on their benefactors. They
have been fed in other years but never
in so satisfactory a way
Among those who are having good luck
in helping the birds this year is w. c.
Horton OF Brook street. He has now nine
kinds that come regularly to his feeding
places and before the winter Is over sew
eral stragglers will probably drop down
for square meal before going on their
way. He has put out pieces OF suet on
the trees near the house, also has spread
grain and seeds in sheltered places where
the birds can eat in comfort and leisure.
The downy and hairy woodpeckers come
every day to peck at the pieces OF sueu
and the nuthatches and brown creepers
also come almost daily. This year the
white breasted nuthaJch visits him but
no red breasted nuthatch has thus far
| appeared. In the two sheltered boxes
which he has put out a flock OF eight tree
| sparrows and a flock OF five juncoes come
almost daily to feed on the bread crumbs.
millet seed and fax seed which he places
! within. Chickadees are among his most
constant visitors and among the most well
| come. The bluejays come freely but he
would be just as well content II they
| stayed away as they drive off the other
birds. Besides these regular visitors he
has had a passing visit from pine gros-
beak and a flock Of redpolls.
| The weather seems to make little diff
ference about these birds coming TO feed
but when the severe storms come they
probably will make even greater use OF
the food provided for them. One OF the
boxes is close to the window and they
come to 1t with great freedom. When the
birds are fed in this way it must be kept
up all winter, for II they once get into
the habit Of seeking their food there they
will not find any natural feeding grounds
and are likely to starve II their artificial
supply is stopped.

Immense Water Power to BE Developed al
cavendish Gorge.

The favorable action OF the Vermont
legislature in amending the right for en-
inent domain on Black river for the Black
River Power, Lighting and Railway COM
pany. means an important development Of
the Black river water power at Cavendish
gorge in the town of Cavendlsh. The
present plans OF the company are 10 place
a dam at the site Of the old Fitton wooden
mill and to run twin four-foot penstocks
1900 feet to the power house. where three
water wheels win be located, with direct
connection to three 500 kilowatt, II, 900
volt generators. The power developed
will be 1900 kilowatts or 1000 horse pow
er. The water head will be 100 feet with
dam located at the upper end, where
storage basins will be made. These sto-
rage basins will be a great help for the
regulation OF the river flow and thus be
a source Of relief from the low water to
the mills at Springfield and other mills
along the Black river, as II will make a
reserve supply and flow. A brick power
house So by 60 feet will be erected. Elec-
tricity for lighting and power purposes
viii be furnished TO Springfield, VT. and
Claremont, N, H., and other towns. The
distance to Claremont is IL miles. The
many mills along the banks of the Black
river will not only be benefited by the
more regular flow of water, but the enter
prise will enable them to have electric
power and lights. The promoters Of the
company are l.. n. Wheelock OF Clare
mont. F. C. Davis of Springfield, J. B.
Reynolds Of New York city and Jones &
Mehan of Boston. The officers are:
| President, John B. Reynolds, New York
city; treasurer ]. E. Jones, Boston;
clerk Fred c. Davis, Springfield; superin-
tendent and business manager, L. N
Wheelock. Claremont; directors, ]. B.
Reynolds, ]. r. Jones, Fred c. Davis and
L. n Wheelock. The company intends
/ TO devotion the mower Dlant and stOra orc
reservoirs the coming season. The COM
pany has a charter for an electric road
and it is possible that the company will
| build an electric road from Claremont e
Ludlow some time, connecting with the
Rutland road at Proctorsville and the
| Boston & Maine road at Claremont juno
ton. This would accommodate the lime
| business at Amsden, the soapstone bust
ness at Perkinsville and a large farming
section.
