The sensation, which seemed com

Idle, rich young men. and the discus
sion OF King unwonted absence ragged
iercely for a time. although he was
known personally to but few of the
members. The general consensus of
opinion was that Shapley had assigned
The true cause and King was just
keeping out OF sight and would bob
up sereneiy in time for the wedding.
But Richard King did not turn up.

What They Told Clarke.

Yes, they tell me ali that I have
been telling you. They also tell me
that King sent three messages to his
sweetheart. He sent them, for the
addresses we're in his hand. They
were messages, for she understood
them and they had an effect upon her.
The first two were hopeful; the third
hinted at disaster. These symbols,

SIX ACRES
FOR $4,000

There have been many big sales
of Grand valley orchard lands, at
big prices per acre, reported by The
Sentinel during the past few weeks;
but today the record was broken to
pieces when II. G. Crissey, one of
the best known fruit growers of the
PaIisade section, sold his 6-acre or
ciard, just outside the limits of Pal
isade, for $4,000 per acre, or for a
total consideration of $4,000
This is by far the largest price
per acre ever paid for orchard land
i'm the valley, and beyond doubt the
highest price ever paid per acre for
a peach orchard anywhere in the
world.
The orchard is composed of fine
young peach trees in perfect contI-
ton. The trees will bear for the
third time this season. On the ranch
is lovely home, one of the hand
soonest country residences in the val
ley.
The name of the purchaser was
not learned, but it is understood
that he is IA man who recently came
here from another state.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Prices Practically Motionless With Only Small Room Traders Acting.

New York. Sept sO--The stock mar ket today gave evidence that it has passed through all the usual counter fluctuations which follow the cumina- ton of speculative moevment of any duration. Prices were practically mo- tionless and such slight mobility as was shown was due entirely to tho shifting efforts of Glass of small room traders. There were no large opera tons pereeptible and no sign of any outside interest in the market. The class of operators responsible for the former speculative activity was pass i've, or confined themselves to protec- tive measures against any effort to de- press prices. The stability of the mar ket corroborates suppostion that support Is offered on declines. Thls show of stability In itself helps 10 keep pressure off the market and there Is no show of tho selling of small investment holdings. such as was 8 feature at the higher attitudes 10 which prices at tained. The Bemi- stagnatIon ia quite generally attributed, in the financial district, to desire to await tho pass- Ing of the elections before taking n position In the market Tho feeble cur rents in the days price movement did not sweep tho whole list at any time, but ran In eddles, affecting only few stocks.
 These limited movements were brought about often by news or rnmors affecting only tho individual stocks. The break in International Paper pfd had an unsettlIng effect and was first attributed to damage to the eompany's property in the forest fires Later the reduction in tho dividend furnished a truer explanation. The extraordlnarv abundance of the money supply was slgnaylzed by the easy rates for call loans on the eve of the quarterly set dement's. which call for something like $l60,0OO.00J in New York Today. rates of 1 I'd to per cent. on call have not been equalled in the first week of october since 1894.

Conclusions which had become quite definite In many quarters that the Ca nadian Pacific was about to take over the Chicago Great western property, were somewhat upset by the statement of Sir Thomas shaughnessy, 10 the eff feet that the Canadian Pacific is not negotiating for its purchase, and has no intention of acquiring it. This is not the first official denial that has come in relation to this matter from Canadian Pacific officials, and in cir cles with good English connections 1t is again urged that this last denial may be based on purely technical grounds The recent statement that the "soo" railway holds an option on Great Western is still stanchly believed by persons who are In a position to get fe-ood information. The purchase by 1.-le "Soo" would give the Canadian Pacific control of Great Western indi- rectly, and at the same time permit technically of truthfulness in state ment that Canadian Pacific is not buy ing the property
