NEW YORK. September 1.-The stock
market today opened with rather heavy
tone. which was largely induced by the
reactionaTy tendency in prices at the
close of business yesterday and by the
lower range in quotations which were
furnished for American shares from the
London stock market. The prices fur
nished from that quarter were followed
up by liberal sales for foreign account
OF all the stocks having a broad interna-
tional market.
In addition the western houses with inn
portant private wire connections were
heavy sellers of securities at the opening
of business, so it is not remarkable that
during the forenoon session the stock
market should have shown quite .reac-
tionary tendencies.
There was little or nothing in the way
of actual fact or novel developments TO
account for the course in prices. There
was great deal of discussion with re-
gard TO the out-turn of tOdays state cleo
ton in Vermont, and so far as any single
influence could be mentioned that was
the controlling factor in the days deal
ings.
s. p. and U. P. Factors.
The pronounced strength OF Southern
and Union Pacific continued TO be a fac
tor of weight in the transactions at large.
Even throughout the irregular move
ments in the market during the forenoon
session Southern Pacific showed eXcep-
tional strength, as that stock did through
out the day.
At the same time there was nothing in
the way of news or in the comments up
on the movements in the security to ex-
plain it's contrary course to the general
market.
The prospective return to this country
from abroad of the most prominent
American capitalist was accounted re-
sponsible for the pronounced strength in
such stocks as Erie. Southern Railway
and other issues more or less identified
with the individuality in question. The
local traction stocks were again notably
firm. doubtless because of the restoration
of the double charge for fares to Coney
Island and the abolition of the local
transfer service.
q. S. Steel Notably Firm.
The industrial and miscellaneous issues
moved irregularly throughout the bust
ness session. The United States Steel
stocks were notably firm and the pre-
ferred shares approximately reached a
level not much below the highest figures
at which they ever Sold

Marriage is more difficult of accomplishment

born of earlier times. The best man dates
back to the days of marriage by capture, as
he helped the bridegroom to catch his bride.

by the publication of banns used among the
poorer classes. AS in other countries, SO in
England, there is much joyous Teasing on the

another form of "bride-ale," or "bridefeast."
