NEW YORK. September 29.-After a
somewhat unimrressive show of strength
in the early dealings the stock market
developed generally reactionary tenden-
cies and the leading issus broke from
TO points before the noon hour. After
midday price movements were charac-
terized by great irregularity. but on &C
count of the thoroughly professional
character of the trading the transactions
were wanting in any great and lasting
significance
In its search for some definite eXplana-
tion of the rather saarp reaction in
prices during, the forenoon Wall street
hit upon the reported indisrOsitlon of the
leading figur, i'm the Union Pacific sys-
TEN. ReassurinG statements with re-
gard to the physical condition of the cap
iIaIst in question We're soon forthcoming
and probably might be named as account
ing for such recoveries took place
from tie days point of extreme Gepres-
sion.
Politics Lively Topic.
1t did not appear to he the case that the
political situation at large was as much
OF a factor III the speculation as it has been
of late because. perhaps, of the compare
tive quiescence of the chief controver-
sionalists In the campaign. Naturally,
however that subject again absorbed the
bulk of interest and discussion.
The days money market showed the
slightly firmer tendencies which were ex-
hibited yesterday, doubtless because or
the larger movement of currency to the
interior for crop-moving purposes. The
banks lost quite heavily through their op-
erationS with the subtreasury yesterday,
%l~s~ ,rfh
gain by the latter institution since last
Friday of more than 3,1IO.OOO. The for
eign exchange market was steady and
commodity prices ruled lower.
Atchison's Annual Report.
The showing made BY the Atciison
company in its annual report. coupled
with the comments upon the operations
of the system by its president. led to
quite a severe decline in that stock
Westinghouse Electric also broke sharply
in connection with the announcement of
the revision of the plan of reorga MIA
ton for that company. Price movements
throughout the various quarters of the
market were fairly uniform.
Consolidated Gas was exceptionally
strong in the open dealings, but later
participated In the irregular swings of
the general market. The United States
Steel shares were relatively. steady
throughout. Dividend uncertainties were
held accountable for the pressure upon
Distillers' Securities, and prevailing trade
conditions for that were evident in the
instances of Amalgamated Copper and
American Smelling
In point of activity the days market
was quite as irregular as it was in re-
speet OF price movements, protracted
spells OF dizziness being occasionally
broken by spasmodic fits Of animation
American shares were irregular in the
London stock also, and operations here
for foreign account were upon only
small scale.

The world is still in the making. At this

far natural selection goes to explain the

recognize at once its extremely narrow

No Fees on Sierra Addition.

Washington, May The forest SER
vice has made a recommendation to
the secretary of agriculture that all
stock which have grazed regularly on
the range on the new tracts of land
added to the Sierra national forest,
California, during the past be allowed
to Craze free of charge and without
permit during the season of 1908.
In the addition recently made to
the Sierra forest it is reported that a
large portion of the area is used for
grazing and that the live stock
industry is of Importance to the well
fare of the people. The number of
cattle, horses, sheep and goats,
occupying the range is unknown and
the season is now so far advanced
that it is not possible to give proper
notice to applicants for grazing
privileges, and for this reason it has
been recommended that there should
be no grazing fees on the addition
this year.

fornia were there, also veterans of
the civil war and the recent war with
Spain we're out in strength.
While the sailors and soldiers we're
in evidence in every part of the city,
it was remarked how few we're to be
seen under the influence of liquor,
and how few Disturbances we're re-
ported on account of their presence.
The jackies tell some amusing stories
of their voyage, and the treatment
they received i'm the various places
touched at. The younger portion
those who had never before been
south of the equator, we're the victims
OF all sorts of practical jokes on the
occasion of crossing the line. For
days prior to reaching the central
line, they we're worked up into
state of excitement by the tales of the
older men as to what awaited them.
or course, the treatment was nothing
more than n series of harmless jokes.
Callao in Peru was given the prem
ium as the diItiest city on the route.
Santa Barbara, strange to say, was
the place where they we're subjected
TO the greatest imposition in the way
of overcharges. We heard one state
that So was the price demanded for
steak for two. They we're delighted
with the welcome accorded them by
San Francisco. Here, however, there
were cases of eXtortion. We heard
one remark that he was charged 81. 20
for an ordinary shave. When he pro-
tested, he was told to call in the
police. A policeman was on hand,
and the question referred to him.
He told the jackie that inasmuch as
the schedule of charges was not posted
anywhere in the shop, and as he had
made no express contract as to the
price, he supposed he would have to
pay the outrageous sum. But the
sailor did not see it in that light, and
threw the barber a quarter, telling
him he could whistle for the rest.

b. X. Breese sang a song on Amador,
composed especially for the occasion.
The banquet, to which all present
sat down, was highly enjoyed and
nothing stronger than coffee to drink
served. After this games of various
kinds we're indulged in, swinging by
Ed. Muldoon and Judge Davis on the
same swing; also boat riding on the
lake, the boat got stuck in the mud,
and the swing in the air. After a
happily spent day all started for
home about p. m., but the special
trolley Car stopped at the county line
to give DR.. Tiffany and Dave Miller
chance to have foot race, Miller
won.
About two hundred attended among
them were Fred Briggs, who repre-
