THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 3.--Leaders of the stock market movement rely more on the market to tS, show how much response to their leader side of Wall Street than any other index. The indication is found in the proneness week and with the beginning of soms sini- lar defined period.
 Many important commission houses send out at the weekend reviews of the market and forecasts of the prospects that are more detailed and elaborate. than the daily fore morning often finds an aecumuIasion on1sy of ory ders in course of execution chat represeute a new phase of the market.
 Commission houses today reported so mod crate a growth of outside demandS' that speculative operation of the market was left confused and unsettled. The first prices which resulted determined that the pressure of sales to realize was greater than events had not brought. new buying into the market in sufficient volume to give strong digestive power to it. The hesitating and irregular fluctuations of prices was the, ex- minds ,.t
 The bank holiday in London made q close session of that market and subtracted some thing from the usual dealings in New York The violence of the upturn in the wheat ports of the damage 10 spring wheat in some sections from rust and 10 estimates by private expert affirming exaggeration in current views of the dimensions af the crop.
 The later reaction in the price of wheat afforded some relief from the anxiety caus- ed by these reports. The reliance placed upon the favorable promise of the harvests is abundantiy reflected in the reports of increasing confidence in all branches of bus mess world. It was plainly marked in the weekly talks from railroad traffic of ficials reported today. Fl H. Hartman s own description of the Wheeling and Lake Erie note settlement as "Simplysa "a financial transaction made necessary to save rail- road and thereby benefit them alike" took some of the glamor off the inferences wide ly drawn from the incident In last week . speculative eurmi5e. Ills reference to doing what he could to prevent any more of the railroads from going into the hands of re- ceivers was not greatly relished by the speculative element.
 Reported activities of the department of justice conveyed an impression that the Hartman combination of railroad systems | was to come under fire in a short time. | The price of copper rose again and fhe report that the Baltimore and Ohio had placed a large rail order aroused hopes that that hitherto dorman department of the steel trade had awakened.

WHITE HOUSE INFLUENCE.

Exerted Wisely on Our Social Standards. Detroit Free Press.
 There are no lovers like welded Ioveru," wrote President Roosevelt in a note to his friend. Miss Kohlsaat. of Chicago, congrat- ulating her on her approaching marriage The phrase is reminiscent of President Cleveland's eulogy of welded life, as "one grand, sweet song"
 Tn these times of divorcss and loose views on marriage the attitude of occupants of the White House Is no doubt. a steadytnE influence. It seems likely to continue, for Mrs. Taft's recent utterances on divorce are an assurance that her husband is as sound on the sanctity of the marriage as he is upon all public questions. and Mir. Bryan's home life is model for his fellow citi- Kens
 Pulpit preachments on the divorce evil. editorial comment, and formal addresses by men and women of prominence may have some effect in restraining the drift from old standards. but at the most they can be little more than formal and conven- tional.
 The happiness that comes with such unions, and It's reflection in the lives and casual remarks and writings Of those of conspicuous station. inevitably carry more weight and influence for good than a thousand dry speeches.

 Cotton futures opened steady with prices ranging from five points to two points below the yesterdays closing. The mar ket was very quiet with but little business throughout the session. On the strength of predicted rains in the cotton belt the bulls exerted pressure and the market re- sponded with small rise, which was sus- fained until the close The rain predictions were feared because it was believed that the crop has had all the moisture 1t should re- ceive. and that any more rain might en- danger prospects. The closing was quiet and steady seven to sixteen points net higher.

Fears
 Providence Journal
 The British public Is not unnaturally ex- cited over Lord Cromers warning that the long predicted European war is likely to come "before many years have passed" Others have said the same thing for many years that have already passed. and their prophecies remain unfulfilled. But Lord Cromer Is a responsible statesman. fully aware of the significance of his words Whether he Is right or wrong, it Is unde- niable that there are signs and token of growing unrest among the nations: and even ententes and alliances cannot always prevent an outbreak. It would be well If the Britih government paid attention to his utterances-not merely because war may come, but also because of the policy of old-ags pensions which he condemns as a waste of money in the circumstances. is a departure from sound principles certain to have disastrous results Whether the money will be needed to fight the Kaiser or not 1t had better ee kept available.

sTANDING OF THE CLIJRS
MERIDEN POLICE WON

The Meriden police team returned home from New Britain Tuesday night with six runs in their bat bag taken from the cops of that city who have nothing to show for their work on the diamond It was a snappy contest and developed into pitch CTS battle. Joyce of Meriden struck out twenty-one men while Peterson made twelve fan. The features of the game were a running catch by Johnson in the ninth inning, clever stop by Custy in the seventh, the general fielding and back stop work of Joe Doran, and the twirling of Danny Joyce, who had twenty-one strike outs to his credit, allowing but one hit from his delivery and but six men to reach first base and no fur ther. After the game fine spread was laid out for the members of the teams and their friends. Speeches were made by Mayor Landers of New Britain and Mayor Thomas L. Reilly.

THE sHUT-IN CHILD OF FRANCE

The heat of Paris may never be compared with that of New York even if the thermometer marks, the same number of degrees in aboth places. The French city is devoid of the humidity which nearness to the sea wraps around Manhattan. In Paris schools do not close until the end of July or the beginning of Au- gust. The French child is to be pitied, anyway, the foreigner in> evitably decides.
 Small Frenchmen are never alone, nor are their sisters, of course. From infancy a nurse or maid or a governess or .caretaker. of some kind hovers over them. This is true among the rich and among the poor-that is to say, that in homey where a children's maid would be too expensive luxury, the little boy and girl have to stay indoors, excepting Sundays, when they walk with their parents. To let them go oW alone would be considered im- prudent. The poorer children are sent to the Ecoles Maternelles, which are about the same as our kindergar- tens. The children of, the bourgeo- isle are kept at home until the age of 6 or ., when they are sent to boarding schools, or demi-pension.
 Pensions are regular boarding schools, while the demi-pensionnaires come in the morning and leave about 6, accompanied. of course. by teach CTS or governesses.. Thef demi-pen- sionnaire lunches and takes gouter Casually consisting of> piece Of chocolate and roll) in school.
 To the outsider, the elementary course seems to consist of writing, principally. From to the pen. crawl up and down the paper, mak. ing scratching sound, now and then interrupted by break and an em- barrassed giggle.
 Half an hour is devoted to recess. During this time games are played, quiet ones usually. Although the French child runs sometimes, he never falls or gets bruised or hurt. A little American girl who went to school In Paris told her mother tear fully, once, that she couldn't stand It any longer, because when she slipped and fell she caused such a commotion; the game would be stop. ped and teachers from far and near would run up and ask if she was hurt. And, oh mother:" she said, cant you put me somewheres where can fall all I want to?'-New York Evening Post.
