MASKED BANDITS ROB
TROLLEY CARS CREW

BUFFALO. Aug. -Four masked
men held up Sycamore-st. trolley car
at the edge OF town today and, at the
point of revolvers, demanded money
from the conductor, John Strohn. who
gave up all he had in his pockets,
Spills, mostly in small change. The
robbers then searched Andrew
Patsche, the motorman taking from
him his gold watch.
The robbers had concealed them
selves at the end OF the line. No
traces OF them has been found al
though the street car men have fur
nished the authorities with descrip-
tion OF them.

ALDRICH WOULD AMEND
THE CURRENCY BILL

NEW YORK. Aug For several
days members OF the national none
tary commission. appointed ar the
last session OF congress TO devise
plans for currency legislation and
composed OF nine senators and nine
congressman. have been in this city
making preparations for their trip
to Europe to study foreign banking
conditions and confer with bankers
here.
AS a result il has become known in
Wall-st that Senator Aldrich, at the
head OF the commission, has come TO
hold the opinion that the upshot OF
the commission studies will be. not
TO promulgate a new currency meas
ure entirely. but simply TO make addi-
tions and improvements to the present
so-called AldrichVreeland law.

BY T. c. sHoTWELL.

NEW YORK. Aug. LIN Its enthu-
siasm over the alliance between
Gould and Hartman, Wall-st. sent
stocks booming. today. New high
records were made in Amalgamated
Copper, American Locomotive, Smelt
ers. Reading. Illinois Central and
Missouri Pacific. The Gould stocks
were in active demand for the first
time in many weeks. Trading was
on a very heavy scale In the first
few minutes. but profit-taking made Its
appearance almost Immediately and
prices were scaled down.
On the curb there was also con-
siderable enthusiasm under the lead
ership of La Rose, Cumberland-Ely,
and Miami. all OF which were active
around the high levels established
yesterday. The entire curb list was
active. Much OF II, however, was
manipulation. as a big campaign Is
planned and the public Is not yet
taking much interest In that market.
Pennsy Net Earnings Smaller.
Pennsylvania railroad earnings for
June show a decrease of s2,722.300
in gross, but the operating expenses
were reduced SPOIL 500. Net earn
luBb were SIudiicT Dy Ouiy piiV,ovV.s
The number OF idle freight cars
increased 5.120 between July s and
July 22 However, the number OF
cars out OF order has been reduced
by 5000, which means that these have
been put into service in place OF the
other idle cars, so that the increase
is not so large as 1t seems 10 be on
the surface.
This means, however. that there
has been a check in the business
boom which wallst. thought had be-
gun. Shortly after these figures were
published the stock market became
very dull.
There was holiday in the London
market.
The issue of $4,000, 900 of Wheeling
& Lake Erie notes was paid as present
ed at the Office OF Blair & Co. today.
Towards the close there was evil
dence for some time that the shore
interest in Reading and several other
stocks had become unwieldy and the
most urgent buying was generally as
sumed to be covering OF old short &C
counts. Governments unchanged;
other bonds quiet.

PRODUCE.

Commission men reported little or
nothing In the way of price changes
this morning, but fairly active week
end trade. A rather unusual feature
OF the market was good inquiry for
poultry hens preferred. with nothing
on hand. Commission men report In
aulries by every mail as to the pros
poets for honey this fall. and from the
number III these letters IL would seem
that the country is full OF honey. and
supplies promise to be large. Receipts
OF berries were light; pears and plums
are coming freely. and the market Is
full OF apples.
