NEW YORK, July 1.-The stock mar
ket today preserved a very firm under
tone throughout the various shifts In It's
superficial tendencies. A higher range OF
prices was commonly scored at the open
ing of business, but before the close or
the first hour a general reaction TOOK
place in which declines running from i 10
. points were noted. Toward midday the
dealings assumed firmer tone and many
stocks rallied back to or above the open
ing quotations.
There was nothing whatever in condi-
tons outside of the stock market itself
which would account for the Irregular
movements in prices noted. The reaction
in the first hour was commonly accepteu
as being caused by heavy proht-taKlnS
sales by last weeks forehanded buyers
and the present stock market is obvious.
~ still too narrow to Withstand Wnhout
flinching, large sales of this description.

IN the industrial and miscellaneous
group the dealings were largest ana Ine
American Locomotive, Amalgamate9
Copper and National Lead. The United
States Steel shares were firm ana acuve,
notably for the preferred stock, and the
tone of those securities was oouotiess
due in some measures to the reassuring
statements made by the chairman OF the
corporation upon his departure for Eu-
rope. Consolidated Gas was strong on q
small volume of transactions.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was strong ON
buying, based presumably upon the heavy
traffic on the company's lines incidental
to the prevailing spell Of hot weather.
The most extensive advances In the
railway list were in the higher priced is
sues. noteworthy gains being made by
Chicago and Northwestern and Canadian

These stocks were. however quite over

Cook for Francis Joseph.

Although the Austrian emperor eats
very frugally, his majesty pays his chief
cook G2.O00 a year. The court is noted
for its elaborate repasts, and q French
contemporary gives an amusing account
of how Perski-for such is the chefs
name-entered the emperor's service. Per-
ski was formerly chef to Count Rhein-
gaum, and one day Francis Joseph. who
dined at the house of the count. was de-
lighted with the manner in which the
boar's head was served, and compli-
mented the chef. Two days later an en-
ormous packing case arrived at Schon-
brunn with the counts respect. When
the box was opened they found in II Per-
ski, in good health, but somewhat Shaken
up" The emperor accepted the present
and Perski became head Of the kitchen.
