WALL STREET NOTES
No Cause for Fall in Securi-
ties Prices Apparent.
ALL THINGS FAVOR THE BULLS
Money Has Tendency to Work
Closer, but Financial Position One
Shape to Meet Heavy Drains and
Hopeful of Treasury Aid.

New York, Sept. 26.-For the consider
able decline that occurred to-day in Sc
curities prices the explanations COM
monty offered were not satisfactory.
Speculative interests hostile to the mar
ket continued to make as much as they
could out Of the New York. New Haven
>,ld Hartford Railway Company's add.
tlonal stock Issue at lower price than
was contemplated earlier in the year.
and the market quotations for the COM
pany's stock again declined on small
transactions.
But il has long been known that this
issue of. stock was forthcoming. while
the needs OF the New Haven for the
money are unquestionably meritorious. 1t
is doubtful II the matter was really in
any way to-day a market factor.
There was more or less talk in Wall
street circles Of yesterdays frosts in the
corn belt; and yet all definite statements
that were received from the regions sup
posedly afflicted were to the effect that
the lower. temperatures had resulted in
but little injury 10 such crops as are
now in a position 10 be injured st all.
The frosts. save in ceHtain portions Of
the Ohio Valley, were light. Again there
was an effort to create disquiet over the
recurring Illness of prominent finan-
cler, but as it was well known that the
capitalist In question was by no means
seriously sick. the scale on this point soon
petered out A last source Of anxiety
discovered was. in fear Of trouble in
which the country might be engaged as
result Of possible international dis
orders on the island of Cuba; and yet il
was hard to find any one who really be
lieved that there had been any liquida-
ton Of stocks on this account
On the other hand, all the actual oc-
curreuces Of the day were favorable 70
the market Money rates manifested a
tendency, il is trua, 10 work little closer,
as IL is obvious that a more or less de
layed movement Of money Westward for
the purpose OF moving the crop is now
under way. and the necessity OF making
preparation for the large financial dis
buTsemeuts on the hrst OF the month is
Immediately at hand nevertheless. the
financial position here is one Of eXcep-
tiCnai strength for the time Of the year
and with the known willingness Of the
Treasury Department in the matter 20
extend relief 20 the money market should
1t become necessary the opinion is still
held I'm high banking circles that there
viii be no undue ughtness in money here
during the remainder OF the year.
What has gone on at this center In
this respect is very much of the same
character as that which has been wit
messed ia London during the recent
months. The banks both here and in
the British capital have made themselves
strong.

Etiquette Of the Elevator.

There is no one to pass authori-
tatively upon the etiquette Of. the ele-

should be drawn, and a little study
Of the question has resulted in this
conclusion with me:
II think the line should be drawn
between the business elevators, those
In ONCE buildings. stores and public
buildings generally, and those in ho-
tells. In the latter a man should re-
move his hat and uncover in the pres
ence Of women passengers, and in the
former he should not, and there should
be no deviation from the rule.
"The differentiation in the estab-
lished courtesy shown by men as a
great class to women may easily be
made clear, though there are some of
our fair sisters who would keep q
man on his knees all the time and
never give him chance to stretch as
others would have him uncover in the
streetcars, which are enclosed COM
partments frequented by both sexes,
and give him perpetual cold in the
head.
IF men should remove their hats
in the presence of women In the ele-
vators Of business and public build

ferryboats, in street and railroad cars
and coaches, In closed carriages and

A Century Old Flag for . Dine.

Samuel Rupp Of York bought for 10
cents ct an administrator sale in that
city last week, an American flag which
is probably century old. The orig
inal flag had thirteen stars and the
Same number Of stripes. With the
admission Of Vermont in 1891 and
Kentucky In 1892 into the union of
states. the stars and stripes were in
creased to fifteen each. 1896 the gal
axy of states were increased to SIX
teen by the admission of Tennessee.
1t was after the star representing the
last state had been added that the
flag which Mr.. Rupp has come into
possession was made. Notwithstand-
