The buying rally that started with
the announcement Of the taking over
OF the syndicate stock by Kuhn, Loeb
and Company, was continued at the
opening OF the market to-day, stocks
reaching higher prices than had been
recorded at any time during the week.
The market held strong for some
time, with continued advances. but a
food of selling orders. due to profit
taking, caused a slight recession at
the end of the first hour. This profit
taking was soon er ded. however, and
stocks again began climbing.
DR.. +. s. Pearson, who has been
credited with the operations of the
syndicates, who endeavored to buy in
half a score of railroads. to-day said
that while bad market had fore
ed an extension of the syndicate, II
would undoubtedly continue to hold
it's stocks in the various lines.
He admitted that Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. WAS to be closely associated with
the working syndicate from now on.
Il am under solemn pledge with
Kuhn. Loeb e. Co." said Pearson, mot
to discuss any of our relations. You
will have to excuse me from making
any reference to these gentlemen with
whom l have been treated with the
greatest courtesy; a1d for whom |
entertain the highest respect, and with
whom / shall probably continue to be
associated"

This order was evidently inspired

We fear that the presence of this

So the newspaper men trouped over

keeper of the big light house and per-
suaded him to forgo his annual trip
to st. Pierre Miqueion. instead Sandy

of the charge of betrayal against Wit

Cor Birth Marks.

LONDON, July 29.-Scotland Yard
detectives to-day received from
America a detailed description OF the
birth marks Of Mrs. Belle Elmore
Crippen, by means of which they
hope to identify the fragments Of the
body found in the cellar of D.. II. II,
Crippen's home at Hilldorp Crescent.
Realizing that conviction of the
murder of the woman will be i'm
possible without establishing the iden-
tity of the body, which is believed I'M
deubtedly to be that Of Mrs. Crippen,
the police are bending every effort to
this end.
The authorities are trying 10 trace
the packing case which Expressman
Simonds says he took from Hilldrop
Crescent to the town Office of DR. Grip

registered on the Montrose as Robin

The man has told passengers on the
vessel thar the boy has broken down
his health by overstudy abroad and
that he is bringing him back to Cali
fornia.
The passengers, unaware that the
man is suspected of being Crippen
have noted that he IL extremely ner
vous and have talked to him about bis
nervousness, which he has attributed
to worry over his "son's' condition.
The deck stewards and several off,

kendalrs confidence. and, without
arousing the suspicious of the suspects,

The frequent wireless messages sent
and received by the Montrose before
she got out of touch with the English
wireless stations, according TO Captain
kendalls message, seemed to worry
the suspect greatly, but as the hours
passed away and no effort was made
to aapprehend him by the ships Off

Neither the man nor his son" have
tried TO shirk companionshtp with the
other passengers. The man has told
passengers that he was in business in
Antwerp, but was forced to travel a
great deal.

The Montrose passed into the Strait
