The Dominion Of Canada seems to

history. With the passing OF the
liberal party from power the present
governor general, Earl Grey, and his
wife, the much beloved Countess Grey,

no other first lady of Canada has been
more popular with the Canadian
people than Countess Grey, whose
portrait is here shown. She Is a wom-

the time that she was warmly re-
ceived into the country by the Canadi-

New York, Aug. S-The best that can
be said of the stock market to-day is
that Is was a good traders market. Not
in weeks have there been such wide
sweep in prices in any one session. such
a rapid decline followed by such an
abrupt recovery. There was plenty of
action, and it was apparent in all the
brokerage houses that the increase in

To-day the traders sold stocks in the
morning, depressed prices greatly, but
found stocks scarce in the afternoon,
and the vigorous rally at the close was
due in a great part to their covering.
Apart from the influence which their
operations had upon the market. the
movement of prices was, on the whole,
disconcerning to those who believed that
liquidation was over and that the rally
of yesterday would continue until stocks
had recovered a large portion OF last
weeks losses. The rally continued this
morning.
Stocks were stronger at the opening
and advanced considerably In the early
trading, but the upward movement soon
lost momentum and there ensued a brisk
decline in which operations OF profess
sional traders were again assisted as IL

course of this decline, losses OF approx
mately three points were sustained by
many of the active stocks, and price
changes became as wide and erratic as
on Saturday. The rally in thel last hour
was vigorous, but the closing disclosed
further losses in practically all of the
stocks on the list, and brought the aver
age of prices below that at the close of
