Westerly Planning Warm Reception
 for C. A. C.'s.

Westerly Eooters are enthusiastic when it comes to baseball so that the Norwich c. A. c. team which goes to Vose park this afternoon for a game with Westerly is assured of a crowd that will put them on their mettle to play their best. Westerly at present Is leading the league and the home rooters don't intend that their nine shall lose any game if support from the fans can save it. so that the Westerly management is preparing to receive the biggest crowd of the sea- son.
 But the Norwich team doesn't in- tend to be frightened out by a little enthusiasm on the part of Westerly and is going down with the do-or-die spirit to make up for the defeat of rast Saturday. Capt. Tim Sullivan ex- poets to start for Block Island Mon day, where he will spend the summer, so that this will be his last game with the team. Frank Kane the new man. ager, will call a meeting after the game for the election of a new cap tain. He will institute a few shifts in the positions for the game this afternoon and have Nara and Houli- han as the battery. Big Dan is said to be at his best form and as he was a puzzle to Westerly a week ago he can be expected to keep the crop of base hits and runs down to the min imum today. The boys will be in the hunt all the way from the drop of the hat and expect to make this the first step in a climb up the ladder for a top position in the league.

GENERAL TONE FIRM
Despite Exceeding Duhness-Sharr
 Advances in Special Stocks.

New York, July 1s.-UnNed States Steel remained the center of interest in the stock market today, but did not so nearly monopolize attention as in yesterdays one-sided market. The general tone was firm in spite of ex- ceeding dullness and special stocks made sharp advances. The southern railroad group was consistently strong and this movement might be ascribed
 to the weak tone in the cotton market following reports of rain in Texas to
 break the serious dFouth tfsere. The improvement in flood conditions in the
 southwest was an additional influence in favor of some of that grotsp. There was a good deal of discussion of the money market in view of the large changes indicated for the week in the banking items. The repayment of government deposits and the gold ex- ports to Argentina made requirements on the New York banks since last Fri-' day of upwards of $12,e00, GOO. The inflow of cash from the interior still continues, although on a diminished scale, so that an offset to this decrease is to be reckoned, but it is estimated that the net decrease in cash may reach the neighborhood of Se,eSe, 900. Of even greater interest was the evil dence already at hand of further de- pletion of cash next week, unless some movement shall spring up to offset the heavy demands of the export gold movement to Argentina. The amount of gold to go out to that destination next week from New York is already fixed at $S,000,000 or more. The pro- portions of this movement are proving formidable to other money markets and London discount rates continue to harden on account of it in spite of London's ability to call on New York to finance the demand. Besides the large movement of grain from South America to make good the lack of our exportable supplies. government financ- ing in the South American republic is an important element in the demand for gold The news from Washington that a Panama canal issue is likely to be made at an early date and under a comprehensive authorization for the whole cost of the canal opens up an- other question to be considered in the money market and government finan- cial relations. The loan market was' perceptibly firmer today, in consonancS with these conditions For time 1oans there were fractional advances in in terest rates. Six months money Ioar- ed at 12 per cent Not only tie over -the-year maturity, which has been most affected heretofore, but the shorter naturities were advanced. An advance in the price of pig iron vas held as confirmatory of the cheerful confidence reported in the steel trasle. The successive stages of the advsnce in United States Steel to new nigh records were greeted rather as a rib ute from the market management than to trade developments.

ican continent, Weston laying so much stress on this fact that he walked over railroad bridges il the far west instead of resorting to the ferries, and declared that after arriving at Oak land he>would walk an additional five miles to equal the distance across the bay into San Francisco, as he found it necessary there to resort to the boat to reach his desired haven.
 When one stops to consider the con- ditions under which this long walk of 3,975 miles has been accomplished no one can fail to admit that it has been the most remarkable event of this character ever attempted Here is a man, trained from his early man hood, it is sure, to the fatigues and strenuous exertions of long-contin- ued walking on the ordinary roads of the land, starting out on his seyentieth birthday to accomplish something that would tax the physical stamina of the sturdiest athlete with muscles hardened for long endurance. It had always been Weston's ambition to make a walk across the American continent, and the fact that he has succeeded in his seventy first year is fitting culmination to the long career of pedestrian triumphs with which the name of Weston is indelibly associated.
 Practically all of Westons walk from Greeley to Oakland was done on the railroad tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad. In Wyoming his troubles multiplied to such an extent that had it not been for the timely aid rendered by the officials of the Southern Pacific railroad in sending along from Ogden an assistant on a railroad track velocipede, carrying milk, eggs and other nourishirg foods, it is doubtful if Weston would have survived the heat and storms encoun- tered day after day. Previous to this aid, Weston had almost despaired of ever accomplishing the journey
 Towns were far apart, food and water of good quality were impossible to obtain. and for many days he walked hours without proper food and drink. The heat going through the desert beyond Salt Lake City was intense, so that most of his walking was done at night, but even then the miles were reeled off with e&- treme difficulty. Then came the arduous snow sheds over the Sierras in Nevada, and here the assistance of the railroad was indispensable, for otherwise Weston would have found it a superhuman task.
 But his grit and grim determination to reach San Francisco triumphed over all obstacles, and when he en- tered California the remainder was comparatively easy
