NEW YORK STOCKS
HAVE BAD SLUMP
Bears Raid the Rails and
Bring Declines of Near
ly Two Points.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-If there was
one characteristic more in evidence on
Wall Street than another it was G5ll-
ness. The recent declines have brought
prices to a point where the shorts must
have fresh encouragement to induce
them to put out a line. and where the
investing public has not the courage ard
daring 10 buy. The natural result is
an unsatisfactory. niiserably dull mar
ket with fluctuations within a narrow
range and without pronounced influence
one way or the other.
President RoOsevelt's speeches may be
safely locked away out of sight, but
they have a bad influence and are dread
cd for all that. The Wall Street Jour
nal suggested q topic for the Mckinley
monument dedicatory address, in the
last address of President Mckinley:
THE Broadening of American Mar
kets." New York is not expecting any,
thing Of this kind however, or there
would be a bull movement in securities
London came a little higher. but tho
effect was not noticeable on our mar
ket.
The IndustTials.
There was evidently more strength in
the industTi1ls than in the rails, at
least they quickly recovered from the
slight declines OF the morning, while
Copper and Smelling were higher. but
the rails did not show any latent
strength. at least not sufficient to re-
cover their morning losses. Business
reports are beginning TO assume bet
ter cOlOring. The restricted copper pro-
duction and the lower prices for the
metal are helping reduce the surplus
stocks.

WILL ABOLISH STENoGRApHY
The New Electrical Telegraphone
Promises to Be a Most Use
full Modern Invention

The telegraphone. the latest and most
wo lderful electrical invention of the
age, is on exhibition at the Chamber Of
Commerce in Los Angeles. CAL, and
snriug the past week has attracted the
interest CT thousands Of persons.
The te~legraphone is the invention
of n Dibish g p b o e engineer
named Valdemar Poulsen, who con-
ceived the idea that under proper CON-
ditious magnetism could be absolutely
localized at the point Of contact in hard
steel. This wa revolutionary to the
fundamental known laws of magnetism.
Poulsen prosecuted his experiments and
at last v as able to the cor
{ of his hypothesis in a crude
illustration at the Paris exposition.
The discovery so completely reversed
the accepted principles of magnetism
that when he later sought patents in
America his application was denied on
the ground that his invention was i'm
possible.
IL is a far cry from the first rude con-
~trivance to the perfected instrument
now in practical use in New York aud
as on exhibition in Los Angeles. The
operator now talks onto a fine. naked
steel wire or INTO a steel disc. There
his voice remains to be reproduced later
at pleasure. By actual test the human
voice so recorded has been reproduced
as many as 40. 900 times without deteri.
grafton. The wire or the disc can be
rubbed or scratched Or rusted aud
FURNISHED with emery paper without
affecting the record. Only in enc way
can the record be destroyed and then it
is sponged of Instantly. as clean as a
slate, and is then ready for a new
record.
The quality Of the speech and the
tone of tue music reproduced is as soft
and clear as the most nearly p-riect
transmission over a perfect telephone.
There is no mechanical grating sound
because the record is electro. magnetic
orally talks into the molecules of steel.
rne te~legraphone has perfected the tele.
phone because il records perfectly both
ends of any telephone conversation.
Contracts, brokers' orders. conferences
or love messages over the telephone can
all now be preserved on a spool of wire
and repeated a limitless number of
times.
A business man can have a telegra.
phone transmitter on his desk and die
tate all his letters to a typewritiug
burt au where the letters can be type
written and sent beack for signature,
mailing, etc. Personal letters need now
no longer bs written. but can be talked
onto a wafer Of steel and sem through
the mails with or without ar envelope
for a 2-cent stamp. The length Of the
reprod uction is only limited to the
length of the wire, so that whole operas
or entire plays can be listened 10 at
home without interruption and with the
original quality of Que Oh articulation
employed by the singers or actors.
The power of this strange little instru-
ment to draw the speech of an absent
friend out of a coll piece Of steele.
where it lies beyond the detection OF
the most powerful microscope. has
something un ,anny about it.

get down to real business early next
fall, that the work OF organization
would be simple and that the mapping
out of the line of action to be pursued
by the committee would be taken up
soon. 1t is thought possible that in
time all disputes between labor and
capital which cannot otherwise be set
tied may be referred to the commission
for final decision. An annual confer
ence is to be conducted each year at
Washington by the committee. and
special conferences will be called when
events In the industrial world furnish
the occasion for them.
