STOCK MARKET VERY DULL, WITH
PITTSBURG COAL CHIEF
CENTER OF INTEREST.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-2 .. m.-Pitts-
burg Coal has been the center of in
terest all day, though the price OF the
stock has gradually declined since the
bulge soon after the opening. All sorts
of rumors have been flying about Wall
Street regarding the intentions of the
company with reference to the preferred
shares. ana what may be done 10 re-
arrange the finances OF the company in
the near future.
The market generally is very dull,
with the majority of stocks creeping
slowly upward. The market seems to
lack buying power and transactions are
of a narrow and professional character.
The belief in a strong short interest
grows, and the professionals look for
a sortie within day or two to squeeze
them out
Market Is Quiet.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The stock mar
ket today is quiet and running along
within narrow margin without spe-
cial feature. At this hour most OF the
list is from small fractions to a point
above the opening, which was also a
shade higher than last nights closing.
Wall Street Is encouraged by indica-
tions that the money situation in Lon
don viii be strengthened by gold i'm
ports from Paris. The disposition Is TO
await developments in regard to this
rumor here and not to discount 1t before
there is more assurance Of its truth.
The largest advance shown was IN
American Cotton Oil, the interest IN
this stock rejecting IN some measure
the decline in cotton and the probability
that cotton seed would decline Also en-
aiding the company to obtain a supply
of raw materials at reasonable prices
The fact that the cotton market opened
break tended TO limit activity In the
stock
Makes New High Record.
Pittsburg Coal made a new high rec
ord, and Il was said to be the intention
I to dispose Of coal properties according
as buyers could be found for them
among the railroads operating IN terri
tory adjacent 70 the company's mines.
In that way, Il was said, enough money
could be realized to retire the preferred
and leave considerable property or cash
for the common stock
Amalgamated copper and Reading
were again prominent and active
Experienced judges Of stock market
conditions agree that the market now
displays q good undertOne. and that
there does not seem to be any real stock
pressing for sale. Short selling is en-
short interest again outstanding. Tn
less something entirely unforeseen at
this time Of an unfavorable character
occurs, the general impression is that
the next important movement Of the

0f.lnterest to Horse Breeders.

Experts of Europe and the United
States are united in the opinion that our
last International Horse Show held at
Chicago, resulted in the gathering of
the best types of horsehesh ever seen.
1t was the show of shows for those
four great draft breeds, viz: Percherons
Clydes, Shires and Belgians In proper
tion to the number of horses exhibited,
the Belgian breed made the best show
ing of all. In the Belgian division the
largest horses of the show were seen.
Marcus, five year old exhibited by
Finch Brothers, Of Illinois, tipped the
scale beam at 1850 pounds. He is said
to be the heaviest horse in the United
States. Martin de-Cappelle, chestnut
stallion, was awarded the championship.
He is magnificent animal especially
when on dress parade. In order to
improve horse breeding here. in North

DEATH OF MRS. CHISHOLM.
The Peaceful End of Useful Life
Occurred Monday Noon.

At short intervals during the past few
weeks the uncertainty of life has been
more and more impressed upon the
people of Langdon and vicinity. And
perhaps more recently so in the death
of Mrs. Chas. Chisholm, who crossed the
great divide shortly after the hour of
noon on Monday this week. Mrs.
Chisholm had been ill, sufferer of
attacks of weak heart trouble, since
seized with heart failure a little over
two weeks ago while down town. Her
sufferings at that time, after being taken
home we're quite acute, but medical
attendance combined with careful nurs-
ing and the natural life forces possessed
by the sufferer appeared to rally to the
aid of her recovery. In the last few
days, however, her condition became
more complicated, the entire left side
being attacked by paralysis, and the
appearance of this complication left little
ii any hopes of her recovery.
Mrs Chisholm was born in Eastern
Ontario some fifty two years ago, her
maiden name being Carrie Copeland.
In the '70s the family came west:
remaining short time in Manitoba,
near Emerson, leaving there in 1881 for
Dakota and settling on homestead at
Beaulieu, in western Pembina county, a
few miles from Olga. A year or two
later she was united in marriage to
Peter Marcellis, only year or two after
ward to be bereaved of her husband
after having removed to Nebraska,w where
they lived happily until shortly parted
by death. Later her widowed father
and younger brothers found her return
to Beaulien make their lonely family
circle more homelike. When the shadow
of death visited the Copeland home
summoning the aged father, the daugh-
ter came to Langdon, the town at that
time being in its infancy. Her life here,
one of activity and usefulness, can be
attested to with sincerity both by the
early pioneers and the residents Of the
city today. Her great talent as a
musician united her with the people
who had come here to start the town
and aided in frightening many of the
social events of those days when there
was so little of home life attractiveness
in Langdon. 1t was in January 1893
over fifteen years ago, that she was
united in marriage to- Mr.. Chas
Chisholm, to whom the death blow
comes as a severe atfliction and glea'
trial; lightened no dc ubt by the conifor
and companionship of their only daugh
ter, Edna, who has from early childhood
days to tho present sad hour, grown int
the lives and hearts of both parents, 81
that the one left to mourn will find ii
her presence rift of brightness in tn
oer-hanging cloud Of grief. No house

another, has known her bright cheer

er living near Iona The horses were
taken the latter part of October, or early
in November The first clue of their
whereabouts came from the authorities
at Morden, across the line in Manitoba
where Burns is alleged to have disposed
of at least two of them. The loss of the
horses by MIR. Harding and the informa-
ton received from Morden started
activity in the Offices of States Attorney
Dickson and Sheriff Drury. with the re-
suit that the alleged horsethief, Burns,
was captured Monday by the Sheriff as
above stated. AS the evidence against
him is strong, it is quite likely his con-
viction may be looked for at an early
date AS court convenes next week.

New Jersey \ commission should be
established to assume sur ervision of

New Jersey has gone further, having
provided for State ownership of good
stations stationed throughout the horse
breeding centers The law of that state
expressly provides that all horses pur-
chased, must be of the draft or coach
type. An appropriation of s2O,O0O for
this purpose was made this year. Unless

eliminate him from the horse breeding

needed IN our own state and the New

eating.
