New York, May q, 1910.
Inertia is the chief obstacle to inn
provement in the stock market at
this time. Activity has been check
ed by various considerations, not the
least of which was the temporary
cessation OF business in London out
of respect to the memory OF King
Edward. The delay in placing our
bonds in Europe also had lettering
effect. Continued cool weather in all
sections of the country and conse
quent backward condition of the
crops was another element which put
a damper upon inordinate optimism.
There is also a general slackening
up in business which seems to be ex-
tending. Commodity prices had reach
ed prohibitive point, and now that
downward reaction has set in buyers
naturally hesitate until satisfied tnat
the decline has reached it's limits.
Readjustment Going On.
There is no question but that re-
adjustment to lower basis Is going
on in industrial and mercantile al
fairs, readjustment that will prove
highly beneficial and pave the way
for renewed activity at later date.
Unfortunately, the country has be-
come so accustomed to high pressure
activity and advancing prices that II
cannot experience any movement in
opposite directions without becoming
unduly discouraged. 1t is a question
if the national business nerve has
not been weakened by too prolonged
prosperity, since it now takes I'M
neces airy fright at the slightest sign
of reaction. 1t has long been insisted
upon in these advices that the coun-
try would be benefited by some sort
of reimbursement; our industrial ma
chinery being out OF gear because
some portions had advanced much
more rapidly than others. We are
now going through a period of this
character in which equilibrium is be-
ing restored There is no occasion
for undue anxiety, and after a period
of moderate 1etrenchment we may
look forward to renewed activity,
provided the harvest realizes eXpecta-
tons. AT present the crop outlook
is promising, although containing
spots of disappointment, Consider.
able injury has unquestionably been
done to wheat in Kansas, but
should be ofsett by a larger corn
crop The same remarM will apply
to the country as a whole. A larger
acreage of cotton is in prospect, and
it is still too early to indulge in pes
simistic views regarding any of our
crops. A cool backward spring can
hardly be considered detrimental
when accompanied by adequate mos
ture, and it should be remembered
that a few warm days will quickly
place the crops upon satisfactory
footing

First Postage Stamps.
The postage stamp made its first APP
pearance in 1899. Credit for its inven-
ton was due to James Chalmers, a
printer of Dundee who died In 1858,
England adopted the adhesive stamp
under royal decree on December 81,
1889, and issued the first one for pub
lie use on May 6. 1870. About a
year later the stamp was introduced
into the United States and soon after
ward came into use in Bavaria, Bel
GUM and France.
The machine for perforating sheets
Of stamps was invented and patented
by Henry Archer in 1S47. The Eng
lish postal authorities would take no
stock In 1t for some time, but @. +.
Muntz, member of parliament for
Birmingham, made such firm stand
for its adoption that on August 5, 1853.
the house Of commons appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of the patent
and soon afterward perforated stamps
came into general use

BELIEVES MAN WAS MURDERED
Edgewater Police Chief Trying to Clear
Up Mystery Of Youth Found in River.

Hackensack. n. J., Aug. 14-Police Chief
O'Brien. of Edgewater, who is aiding Coro-
ner w Z. Tracy to clear up the mystery
surrounding the discovery of young man
in the Hudson River, near the old Fort Lee
steamboat landing, with a bullet wound in
bis head, said tonight that there were two
o. three circumstances in connection with
the case that caused him TO doubt the sui
eide theory. In the first place. the wound
is directly in the centre of the forehead.
Chief O'Brien believes that as the wound
no doubt caused instant death, the revol-
yer would have remained in his hand or
fallen near by. The revolver cannot be
found. Two OF Chief O'Brien's policemen
searched for it all day, even digging up the
sand and gravel near the bank where the
mans body was found
Chief O'Brien believes that John Lasher,
ten years old. was truthful when he told
Coroner Tracy that on Friday afternoon he
saw d man lying in a clurp of bushes
about three hundred feet from the place
where the body was discovered on Satur-
day afternoon.
Il cannot understand how the body could
have been moved this distance. for I am
positive the man never moved after shot In

the makers name inside the coat was torn

was a suicide. for a murderer would be

STRUGGLE IN CALIFORNIA
Heavy Republican Registration
Upsets Primary Predictions.

San Francisco Aug IA very heavy
registration has upset early calculations as
TO the outcome OF the statewide primary
election. which takes place in California
on Tuesday The Unexpectedly large reg
fstratton indicates. it is said. a Republican
vote in excess of that cast in the general
election two years ago. Undoubtedly some
thousands of Democrats have registered as
Republicans for the primary. because of
the few contests TO be decided within their
own party.
With Theodore Bell unopposed for the
Democratic nomination for Governor and
few contests below that Office on the Demo-
cratic ballot the interest of that party was
centred mainly on local contests.
Five governorship candidates will appeal
for the suffrages of Republican voters
Hiram NJ. Johnson. Charles T. Curry. Alden
Anderson. F. \. Stanton and Nathaniel
EIlery Johnson has the Endorsement OF
the Lincoln Roosevelt League, as the in
surgent faction is designated while the
four others will divide the votes OF the
StaIwarts.
Second in interest only TO the governor
ship race are contests in several Congress
districts Most notable of these is that in
the I'd District where William Kent, in
surgent is making the race against Dun
can McKinlay the present Representa- tive
from this district. Clifford Pinchot spent
some weeks campaigning in behalf OF Kent.
Three candidates are appealing for the
Republican advisory vote for United States
senator-John n Works and r. A. Me
serve of Los Angeles and A g. Spa lding,
of san Diego. Works has the Endorsement
of the Lincoln Roosevelt League and has
been making his campaign on an inSurgent
pIatforn MeserVe, an attorney. and Spaid-
ing, wealthy manufacturer, will divide
the Staiwart support.
