Mr.. Miller's lecture was
copiously illustrated with colored
steriopticOn views, many OF the
original pictures having been
made especially for this purpose.
The first lecture dealt more
largely with the protection OF
our songsters because of their
economic value to the State,
while this address told more of
the work done by the Audubon
Society at large, and of the state
organization in particular.
Photographs were shown of the
various islands near Louisiana
which are owned by the society
and used by them for the raising
of wild birds of the more useful
species. Mr.. Miller exhibited a
remarkable picture of a storm
|. at sea just before it broke. and
told of his narrow escape from
waterspout which followed with
in few minutes.
A plea was made for the or.
ganization of Audubon societies
among the school children OF
Louisiana. and he told something
of the work that has been done
in protecting birds by the 16,OO(
children Of Wisconsin who are
members of the society. In hi.
descrip ton of some of the better
plans for Nature Study in oul
elementary schools, it was urget
that the children be encouraged

to make large maps of planta-
tiOns, roadways of the neighbor-
hood, ETC., marking on each the
places where the birds were
nesting, with view toward
seeing if it would not be possible
to make the vicinities so attrac-
tive to them that each year
would mark material increase
in the bird census. This plan
has been followed for some time
by the school children of Wor-
cester, Mass, and in several in
stances it was found that various
species of birds showed decided
preferences in what kind of
trees they nested, so that by
providing food near such trees.
their nesting there could be
aided.
Mr.. Miller told of the wonder
full life of the golden plover. and
exhibited a large map of the
western hemisphere to show its
peculiar habits of flight. Every
year, on the 28th or % of April,
not day sooner or later, these
birds reach the shores of Louis
lana after their trip across the
Gulf of Mexico, and leisurely
make their way northward ac-
cross the United States and
Canada until they reach the
northern part of Alaska where
they stay for some MONTHS
They then make their way to
Labrador. where they live on a
variety of berry which ripens a,
that season of the year, and
gorge themselves with it to such
Ian extent that their flesh be
zones tinged with red. After
some weeks of this something
tells all the birds that it is time
for them to fly southwark, ano
lsome evening they take wing ane
do not to alight until they react
the western shore of South
America. when they are practi
cally exhausted. and for some
days rest from their wonderful
trip. There they live until spring
comes again, when they cross
the Gulf and reach Louisian;
within a day Of the same time o
the year that they visited us th'
year before.
The lecture was rare treat
and was given with a warmth
possible only from lover Of tht
birds who is familiar with thei
every habit.

DEsPONDENT MARKET.
Previously Existing Influences Par.
 alyze Demand for Stocks.

New York, Oct, 11-A feeling of de- spondency pervaded the financial dis trict to-day and overbore all other considerations. It's cause had to be sought in an accumulation of nrevi- ously existent influences, as there was no new developments to account for it, It had the effect of paralyzing all demand for stocks and this prostration ot the buying power gave swift effect to selling pressure, which was besides of an urgent character in some cases on a moderate volume of dealings There was soon, in consequence, a se- ries of declines registered such as are usually characteristic of panic condi- tions
 Stocks which suffered in this way were those in the inactive class. some of them not dealt in often at intervals of many days or even weeks. The mar ket for these, practically, disappeared in the discouraged mood which was prevalent about the stock exchange to- day.
 In the actually active stocks the de- clines were not, as a rule, sensational except in some of the speclalties. It was current conjecture that some of the accounts, which were being closed out In pitiless manner, represented long standing arrangements between influential insiders in some of the prop critics and bankers having to do with the finances of the companies
 The suggestion found place that much of the selling earlier in the week which was attributed to Amsterdam might be disguised operations of this kind
 The special weakness of American Smelting was associated with the gen. eral downward tendency of metals, To- day there were further declines in con- per prices in London, where also a vio. lent slump occurred in the price of pig tin. For two days there has been a decline in price of silver which is sen sational in extent for that metal.
 The coming dividend on Amalgamat- cd Copper came in for discussion. with no very hopeful auguries, and intima- tons were preached of probable total shut down of copper production in the Montana fields The U. s. Steel stocks were heavily sold and both broke through the figures which popular es- timation amongst the speculative ele- ment had fixed as the probable level of final support by friends of the proper ty. Money on call averaged lower than for any day this week and this was probably due partly to the sealing down of stock market loans which were being effected.
 Bonds were irregular and dull. Total sales par value, $2,O32, O0O.

In the late trading there was little better buying, which, with the rather general covering in the day, contribut- ed a somewhat stronger tone. In this rally some of the active stocks made up good part of their early loss, al- though selling in other sections par tially offset this influence and some of the stocks closed much lower than on Thursday.

American Sugar Refining was a stock in which special liquidation broke forth after the first hour. It rapidly fell two points, getting down to 104 5s and closing there.
