Find Kidnapped Children.-The Dav-
export police. after several days dill
gent search of the city, Tuesday night
located Mrs Pearl Juergenson of Min
neapols and her three children, two OF
whom had been kidnapped by her from
their grandparents home in Minneapo-
lis. Recently Mr.. JuergensOn, who is
a travelling salesman. secured a divorce
from his wife and was awarded the
custody of the two older children, Ma
bel, aged > years. and Earl. aged I
years The mother was given the i
mOnths-old baby. Mrs. JuergensOn, be-
fore her marriage. was Davenport
girl. the family name being Earl. She
srieved so over the separation from her
two elder children that bold plan was
formulated to lidnap them. Mrs. Juer-
censor, so it is stated. was aided in the
act by her mother and a man friend
of the family. both of whom accOmpa-
MED her to this city. The father. af-
ter securing possession of the two chill
dren, placed them in the care of his
own parents in Minneapolis. II was
from this home that they were stolen.
After leaving Minneapolis. Mrs. Juer-
gensOn went TO Galesburg. Chicago and
a number of other cities with the chill
dren before coming to this city. She
was tracked by detectives to all the
points she stopped at, and it required
considerable skill and much hard work
on the part of the Davenport police in
locating them in this city.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. July 16.-The stock mar. ket of today was a dull affair and had all the usual characteristics of the mid summer period. There was some activity in three or four stocks. but if the total sales for the day the remaind- CT is insignificant. Union Pacific was the active feature and it's sales make o5va up an important R%ropoEsi0n of the Union Pacific also was a dominating influence on the narrow movement Of the whole mayket. Amalgamated cop per and Reading made up another i'm portant proportion of the small deal ings of the day. The general move ment was sluggish and hesitating in conformity with the narrowness ot the market. London took an unfavorable view of New York values and sent over quotations quite radically reduced from last nights closing level here. The resistance developed to this influence was due entirely 10 sympathy with the Union Pacific movement.

The stocks of that group conse- quently sympathized quite closely with the Union Pacific fluctuations.

The stock market was con fronted at the outset today With slump in the price of copper warrants in London and during the day there was further reduction of half 10 three-quarter cents pound for all grades of copper at the local metal ex- change. bringing prices between l and 2 cents below the reduced price fixed by the large producers last week. It has been the subject of discussion that this reduction had failed to revive any de. mand tor copper and opinions found must run several more cents before stable level will be found for future business This incident aroused some anxiety over the whole business situa- tion and the possibility of similar dead locks on account of High prices in oth- CT lines. The report of the reduction of quotations at the New York metal exchange was the signal for decided were scanty. Tho continued easing or the call money market soothed any inn mediate apprehension on that score; The foreign exchange smarket yielded further and lessened the probability of q resumption of gold exports. Opinion on the money outlook was affected by the call for a 20 per cent syndicate in stallment on the Union Pacific conver- tible bonds to be paid on Monday next. which will call for nearly $l4.Oo0.OO0.
 quiet return of these funds to the money market Is expected. The week ly bulletin of the weather bureau was favorable in its showing to crop con ditions.
