the pole vault brought he, the victory
by a narrow margin.
Harvard's success in the intercol-
legiates, however, has lessened the
value of Yale's victory In competi-
ton with the foremost athletes of al
the great universities in the east, the
crimson displayed great strength and
won out very comfortably.
In the minor sports Yale and Har-
ward again nominally divided the hon
ors bu the Cambridge men proved
victors i'm the most important branch
of athletics outside the big four
winning the hockey game against Yale
to 0, and incidentally capturing the
intercollegiate championship. Yale took
both basket ball games by the scores
of 90 to s and % to 4. Neither univer-
sity he'd a strong team, but Harvard
was especially handicapped by lack of
interest and the defects of the Hemen-
way gymnasium as a floor on which
to practice. The crimson had a very
weak five and as result of it's poor
record the sport has been abolished
at Cambridge.
The other meets fdr the year res
suited as follows:

CANADIAN NORTHERN

Race for Control! Of Right Of Way
Down Fraser River Reaches
Intense Stage.

VANCOUVER B. c., July 21.-The
east bank of the canyon of the Fraser
river is described by arrivals from the
upper country as "alive" with survey
ors 1t is declared by people who
reached Vancouver on yesterday S
trains that there must be more than
100 men at work at various points
along the canyons length. The sur
veyors are working for the Canadian
Northern and Canadian Pacific rail-
road
Last Friday a party of thirty c. P. r.
men were transferred from Kamloops
to Hope According to statements
made by members of this party, IT
had been ordered into the field to run
lines UP the canyon from Hope and it
was said by railway men in the section
that speed was one of the principal
considerations.
1t is reported among railway men in
Kamloops that the work of the Cana
dian Northern surveys has been ad-
vanced further than that of the other
roads.
The Canadian Northern route map
for. a line through the Fraser rievr
CANYON was approved some months ago
bv the minister of railways, and the
company is rapidly filing It's iocatlon
plans. it's aim being to cover the
ground before any other railway in the

UNTIL LAST FEW DAYS THERE
HAS BEEN AN UNUSUAL
INACTIVITY.
Disposition to Await the Outcome of
Tariff and Harvest the Cause
of Quiet Period.

NEW YORK, July 21-(SpeciaD-
Until the last few days the stock
market has been at a practical stand
still for month. While few special
market as a whole remained substan-
TALLY at the same level; this in spite
Of improving outside conditions. The
disposition to wait the outcome of
both the harvest and the tariff, added
to the usual summer inertia, account
ed fct- much of the recent inactivity.
But the main reason for the latter was
the logged persistence with which the
market was held at the high level.
There was every Indication of a num-
Der of stocks being firmly pegged by
powerful speculative cliques, who
seem to realize at last that the only
means by which they can be distribu-
ted is to fnfuse fresh activity and life
into the whole market
The effort to force the market to a
highO- level was renewed this week
with a vfgor which showed that pow
erful and skillful nlanipulators are
now in control. The question is will
they succeed. It must be admitted that
circumstances in many respects are
much in their favor. Money Is cheap
and plentiful. Business, though not
yet up to the normal in volume is
steadily improving The crop outlook,
except for cotton, is very satisfactory;
and. as everyone knows, our farmers
are confidently looking forward to
another very profitable season. Even
cotton lis likely to do better than now
feared, because damage reports have
unquestionably been exaggerated, and
there is at least two months for pos
sible regeneration. Confidence gener-
ally in business clcles is strong. The
spirit of hopefulness prevails nearly
everywhere, and all the influences at
work are such as would naturally tend
to discourage the selling of securities.
At the same time there is an ele-
ment of weakness in the situation that
is generally overlooked. The big hold
ers have plenty of securities for sale,
and more ayae coming in large
amounts. Some big operators are anx-
ious to sell in order to realize the
handsome profits now offered. Their
only difficulty is want of buyers. Both
the public and investors generally APP
parently are difficult to tempt at these
figures: and it is noticeable that the
market often declines on good news

MARKET QUIET
FOR A MONTH

, down. A setback in business an i'm
portant injury to the crops or a sharp
advance in money rates would quick
ly incite p sharp reaction. Fortunate
ly these events are more in the range
of money working firmer when the
usual crop and business demands be-
gin. The big leaders have evidently
concluded that the only way to get rid
of their stocks is create a more active
market BY such means it is calculat-
ed that a good distribution can be eff
fected at handsome profits to holders
This may broaden the market and
! bring in a much needed new buying
element. There is plenty of money
seeking investment: it is the induce
ments which are scarce, and the spec
ulative spirit has not been aroused.
Another element which prompted buy
ers to wait was the large new issues
expected next month. including the
Hartman and Gould financing. There
is every indication of large output
of new securities during the next few
months, and it is we'll understood that
some bankers are better prepared to
share in this new financing than
others. Some of our best financiers
and syndicate organizers have openly
declared the market too high, while
others who. apparently. have not yet
got rid of their surplus stocks are OPP
timistic in their talk and interviews
regarding the prosperous condition Of
the country. It is worth while noting
that these gentlemen have a habit of
talking bullishly for public consump-
ton when the market is approaching
the top and they or their friends have
stocks to sell. No one questions the
truth of thei. statements, nor does
anyone suppose them to be put out
from purely philanthropic motives.
The steel trade continues to show
great improvement, the demand for
steel products being genuine and
large at advancing prices. Railroad
earnings continue satisfactory, show
ing that traffic is constantly growing,
the better returns now received being
as much due to higher rates and re-
duced expenses as to the actual growth
of traffic There is more or less publ
lie complaint about the high prices fors4
farm products. and it must be admit
ted that in the absence of any impor-
tant surplus that the chances for any
lower price seem somewhat remote. We
are promised a bumper corn crop,
and it is evident that there will be a.
good demand for the entire yield at
profitable prices. The monetary stu
alton is satisfactory and while firmer
rates must be looked for before long,
no particular stringency is in sight. A,
feature in the banking situation is the
tremendous expansion in loans, due
more to stock market operations thans
to ordinary business requirements.

IRISH ON TO KILKENNY, 1910.
Home Coming Movement to Aid Erin's
Industrial Revival.


Washington, April 19.-"Ireland for
With this as their slogan the friends
of the proposed Irish home going"
movement in 1910 want not less than
$4,000 of the Sons and daughters of
Erin to make the pilgrimage to Ire
land then for an industrial revival of
that country.
Backed, as it is, by the enthusiastic
Endorsement and support of prominent
members OF the Irish race both in this
country and in Ireland, the projected
home-going movement to Ireland has
fidence is expected in the success of the
undertaking. Among those who have
pledged themselves and are lending
their aid to the movement is Richard
Croker, the former Tammany chief
tain.
The principal motive underlying the
proposed pilgrimage is the Develop
ment of the natural resources of Ire
land. 1t is urged that the Emerald Isle,
blessed with almost unlimited latent
natural resources, offers splendid OPP
portunities for the investment of capi-
tai in it's many fields of industry. The
point is made that Irishmen who have
made a success in the United States
can carry back to Ireland ideas rela-
tive to government, manufacture, COM
merce and capital which may be en-
ployed there equally to the advantage
of Ireland and to those who return to
their native land.
