MARKET MOVEMENTS
Of THE DAY

New York, Aug. 6.-The rise in
prices today had the appearance of
a righting in the market from the dip
of yesterdays close There was, in
fact. considerable rebuying of STOCKS
sold short by the professional element
yesterday on the assumption that the
enactment OF the tariff law would be
followed by movement to realize
profits. No such realizing movement.
developed today and the uncovered
bears We're prompted to cover their
short contracts. The gradual expan-
sion of business activity ard the def
mite shaping of the prospect for the
final form of the tariff law were pr
centiVes to active speculation in
stocks. II is supposed that that spec
ulation was in the hands of the more
important class of capitalists and of
men affiliated with great corporations
and banks. The stock market has
not offered evidence at any time Of
broad general participation by the
general public. such as is character
istic of the boom periods of specula
ton. The awakening of such spec
ulatlun has been the object OF the
powerful interests which have con-
tfolled the market throughout the re-
cent movement. The aim would be 20
facilitate the distribution and the
profitable high prices now prevailing
of the stocks accumulated at the lower
prices. The enactment of the tariff
law yesterday brought no immediate
response today resembling an awak
enng of general speculation in stocks.
After the spasmodic demand from
yesterdays short sellers the trading
became dull. but was actively renewed
in the closing dealings when the tone
was very strong. St. Paul rose above
i6I for the first time since 1906.
There was much discussion of the
probabilities for good traffic on the
Pacific coast extension of the system.
for which large growth is predicted.

INHUMAN CRUELTY.

Johnson, a negro, told Superintendent

whipping the negro collapsed and was
sent to a hospital, where he died a
week later.
He saw a young white girl, Ruby
Gather, chained to the wall by her
hands until she tainted, and said she
was left there unconscious for 80 min

white women, he said, were fed from
scraps picked up from the floor of the

hundred hens kept at the prison
and that the eggs were gathered each
day by Commissioner of Public
Works Collier for his own use.

Theodore Roosevelt and his friend
John Burroughs to follow him there

and unarmed.
Persons familiar with the West and
it's living colossi have wondered
about this same Roosevelt and Buffa-

that Roosevelt, with all his hunting
with Buffalo Jones? Why did he lend
his pen to immortalize other men for

writer's, to relate how Jones roped his
mountain lions ont of the pinon

We have wondered. too how Buff
falo Jones has felt about it. and this
last, at least. we have just found out.
He is mad about it, or, as they say in
the West. piqued. He has gone to
New York. and there he has fallen in
with Hornaday, the Bills (Buffaio and
Pawnee), Emerson Hough. and that
crowd. They are nagging him on to
