SYMPATHY TO GENERAL LIST
Market Turns from Wheat, Hav.

SYMPATHY TO GENERAL LIST

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Thc attention
rf opcrators in stocks to-day was
turned apparently from the wheat
market and was diverted to troubles
more nearly concerning itself. The
trouble OF mind was due mostly to
rumors and to differences drawn from
undcilncd reports rather than to actual
developments.
Prospects Of additional note issues
seemed to bear heavily on the specula-
tive mind, and unconfirmed rumors
were afloat of some incursion into this
field by industrial corporations OF the
first class, where railroads hitherto
have been the largest seekers OF ac-
commodation. differences were drawn
from the report that New York Cen
trail interests were about to withdraw
from the directorate of the Chesapeake
and Ohio. which were hurtful to that
stock, and, by sympathy, to the general
market.
Some friction between New York
Central and Pennsylvania interests was
implied In the rumors current on this
transaction. Another centre Of de-
preston was the stocks Of the New
York Public Utilities. for which there
was no clear explanation beyond the
old subject OF The pending public utili-
s Aics pili aI hIDhny. me I'LL III prices
OF stocks was In progress while wheat
was reacting sharply in response to
proht-taking on the wide advance.
The bank statement while favorable,
presented no unexpected features, the
cash increase conforming closely to the
preliminary estimates and the small
loan contraction helping to strengthen
the position of the banks. Active de-
Helopmcnts in the foreign exchange
market arc unusual on Saturday. but
the tone OF foreign exchange held firm
here, and fell fraction In Paris, and
Kept alive the discussion OF possible
exports of gold in the early future.
4he easy tone OF the bond market was
an element in the general depression
prevailing. Foreign holidays subtract
ed one source of the usual participa
ton in the market.

The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1907-09-17

An editorial of the Pensacola News
reports that the State of Washington
has a law which, the Florida Agri-
culturist thinks, should at once be
adopted by every other State in the
Union. The disgraceful acquittal of
murderers on the plea of insanity has
become SO common as to be expected.
In the State of Washington the most
that the murderer can gain by plea
of insanity is to escape the gallows.
He is at once sent, not to an asylum
to be released as cured in a few
months, but to the penitentiary,
where he is restrained of liberty,
though occupying somewhat differ
ent status from regular prisoners.
Such law would greatly discourage
the insanity plea.

The great herds of buffalo which
once roamed the western prairies are
now reduced to a bare thousand by
actual count. An effort is being
made to prevent their utter extinc-
ton by members of the American
Bison Society, which is working at
present to the end of enlisting the
interest of all state legislatures and
to securing suitable reservations on
which the buffalo may be allowed to
thrive. The work has been started
by an effort to secure an appropria-
ton of $4,000 from the State of
New York and the setting aside of a
tract of land in the Adirondacks,
which country is said to be the ideal
for the purpose. This amount of
money will purchase herd of fifteen
buffalos.

Prof. Won Behring alone, of all the
European students of cattle tubercu-
losis, has accepted the offer of the
Argentine Republic to furnish for ex-
perimentation a number of very val
liable cattle, bought in England at
prices running up as high as $4,000,
but unfortunately responding to the
tuberculin test. If bovovaccine will
not cure these animals, they are to be
killed as a dead loss. About 200
cattle are to be used, according to
present plans; and the operations and
subsequent tests (and in some cases
post-mortem examinations) of the
subjects, will take more than a year.
The investigation should be one of
the most interesting and satisfactory
yet devised; and we have arranged
for an accurate report of the results.

theater after matinee during spell

with occasional patches of sand to
keep one from slipping, and the wind
was blowing keenly. At the corner of
Boylston and fremont streets man
ahead of him miscalculated the quality
of the fistful of sand that had been
put over the ice and came to the
sidewalk with a crash, and his hat
few off into the gutter. AS he regain
ed his shattered equilibrium and his
jolted dignity, evidently not being a
Bostonian, he exclaimed:
This is the blankety- blank blankest
spot on this blankety-blank town,
blankety-blank it"
Two women just from the theater
were ahead of Mr.. Sheehan, and he
was undecided whether to demonstrate
with the profane man or chuclSle at
the righteousness Of the affair, when
one of the ladies, reaching the same
spot, nearly came to grief, C wild
clutch at her companion being the
only thing to save her from bad
toss. Then she said, slowly:
Il don't know but what that man is
right. "LBoston Journal.
