caution. Advices from London gave

Other developments, If not altogether
encouraging. were at least negatively
favorable. The firmness of Union Pa
eidc, which increased its gain, together
with L. s. Steel. were the noteworthy
features of the carly session. Bonds

TRUST DECISIONS AND
POLITICS DEPRESS PRICES,

NEW YORK. Aug. IA man who
has long been regarded as an active
factor in Wall Street says he believes
the political situation and the develop
ments of the last few months have had
much to do in bringing about a muell
lower range in prices. He doubts the
correctness of the various rlmors Of
dissension among the large interests ia
Union Pacific and of heavy selling Tor
their account. In view OF the announce
ments having a direct bearing upon
corporations and the stock market. An
other shrewd observer says he Npnks
that in the evere breaks during the
last two or three weeks the market
has reflected the announcements of the
last two or three months. beginning
with Standard Oil and American To-
bacco decisions. He further says: Iiu-
til there is a material change in the
political situation and unless there
should be n further very severe break
only moderate buying Is looked for. If
London should continue a seller of orr
stocks for some little time IL is thought
thai the effect upon the market would
be very pronounced.

What has become of that splitting
ordinance We wonder?
Some time ago the city dads came
out with great eclat and announced
that the next person caught eXpector-
ating upon the sidewalks of the city
would be arrested and fined. But has
that ordinance ever been enforced.
Well not so that it was noticeable and
today it is almost forgotten. An oc-
currence of this morning brought 1t to
mind very forcibly. \ bunch of tobac-
co chewers We're standing on Main
street near the First National bank
on the inside of the walk, understand,
and every one was masticating a wad
of spit quick or drown working
overtime and turning their head> to
spit in the direction OF the curb, but
seldom coming within some feet Of
it, A lady passing by was unfortun-
ate enough to get in range of one poor
shot and she received the contents of
his mouth upon the sleeve of her
cloak. OF course il was unintentional
but the fact remains that the sleeve
of the cloak was not presenting a very
pretty sight.
