FINANCIAL.
Past Week in Stocks One
Of See Saw.
Moroccan Affair Said 10 Have
Been One Cause.
August Report Showed Further De.
cline In Spring Wheat.

New York, Sept l0.--Prices of stocks
made a further recovery in the first
part of last week in continuation of
the movement of the end of the pre-
vious week. Hesitation and weak
ness developed again before the end
of the week and gains on the reeov
cry were cancelled. Professional OPP
orators explain the movement as due
to failure of buyers who supported
the market at the low level reached
in August to follow the advance with
further purchases. The rally was ex-
tended by the demand from the short
interest, but when covering ceased it
became apparent that little other de-
mGnd FOR stocks existed.
Such a rally in the course of an eX-
tended decline is usual feature,
even with no other forces at work
than the purely technical causes thus
indicated Last week explanations
were to be found also in the course
of the news of the temporary advance.
It had been feared that a crisis might
haze been reached in the Moroccan
dispute that might have provoked
war Hopes were felt shat a peaceful
settlement might be reached of the
dispute between Western railroads
and their shopmen. The recurrence of
the markets depression in the latter
Part of the week was taken to show
the remaining possibilities for trouble
on this account, The conspicuous par
played by sales Of stocks for foreign
account particularly on orders from
Berlin. pointed TO foreign sources OF
the depression. Evidence corroboratiVe
of this view WAS found in the extra
ordinary percentage of reserve main
tanned by the Bank of England, the
rise in the private discount rate in
Berlin and the policy pursued bv titc
Hank Of France to protect its goii
holdings.
There were events beyond the Mo-
roccan negotiations which indicated in
dustrial and commercial causes also
for the depression abroad. The Brit
ish foreign trade return for August
demonstrated the heavy cost of the
railway strike. Riotious dem0nstra
tions in France against high cost of
foods proved the existence Of an
economic trouble similar to that in this
country last year.
Some very broad concentrations find
the market, owing doubtless to the
confusion of sentiment over the out
look. For instance the coming effect of
completion OF the Panama canal is
urged to explain the decline in the
trans continental railroads Attention
WAS given to paper read before the
British Association alleging the great
output of gold as cause for high
prices and unrest of labor.
Blast furnace output in August and
the furnace capacity active on Sept. /
showed notable expansion for the
month. Bank clcarings for the month
outside of New York made favorable
comparisons both with last year and
the year before.
The government report proved corn
to have improved In August but show

One Of the two constitutional ques-
tions is whether cities of over 10000
inhabitants may increase their debt
limit to ~ per cent. which would ap-
ply to Portland alone as this is the

The other is shall Augusta be for

BASEBALL TENNIS
PUGILISM ATHLETICS
GOOD SEASON
FOR FISHING
Boat Owners Say--Local
Waters Extensively Used.

This has been the best season for
fishing in years, according to the
statements Of Will Van Pelt, Will
liam Walters and other authorities
on the fishing question. Never be-
fore have the fish run so plentiful,
and SO near to shore. IT'S no
strange thing for an angler to- an
Choir Just off the docks along the
shore and come in a half hour later
with a dozen or so weaks and blues.
In former years, fishermen would
row out to the oyster beds, stay out
half a day, and come back with q
few fish.
At the present time the fish are
running half and half; that IS, a
mixture of weaks and blues. But
few crabs are being caught, and the
cells T not as plentiful as pre-
viously, yet what crabs there are,
are nice and fat. One or two king
fish have been caught this year, ind
in fact, one or two of every variety
Of fish, have been pulled IN by the
men.
From the number of men coming
down over Saturday and Sunday
from Westfeld, Newark, Plainfeld
and other places, it is evident that
right here can be found the best
fishing grounds along the coast.
The majority Of these men claim
that they have tried the fish from
Newark bay down, and that from Sc
warren on down the bay to Keans-
burg, the most fish are to be found.
Acker, Walters, Van Pelt, VIII
Hartman, at Morgan, and Mira
Gross, at Keyport, all get their
share of the crowd, and have every
boat out over the week end.
At keansburg a lot of fish are
caught off the long dock there every
day, the anglers being mostly New
Workers who are summering there,
The dock runs out SO far there, that
1t is the equivalent Of going out to
the quarantine buoy here and drop
ping a line overheard. Catches of
large weaks and blues are no un-
common occurrence there, and the
summer resort Is fast becoming
known as an excellent angling place.
Even up as far as New Brunswick
the fish seem to run In large num-
bers and many a catch of good size
is made there.
Sunday was the first off day of q
weekend to occur this summer ang-
lers state, and although the boat
men suffered on account Of this,
they think themselves lucky so faT
this year. Even at that, some good
sized catches were reported, show
ing that the fish bite even in muggy
and unpleasant weather. While the
Nn-1 - .Aa --
catches will be made yet, no doubt,
especially over Labor Day, many
boats having been reserved at the
! different fishing stations for those
days. After Labor Day, the season
practically ends, as the cooler
weather approaches, the fish go out
into the deeper water, where they
find warmer spots.

Fatal Finoer Rinos.

Count Zborowski when killed in a
fearful motor accident at Nice In
1908 was wearing a fatal ring which
had belonged to his family for four
generations. In each of these genera
tons the head Of the family had worn
the ring and each had met with a VIC
lent death.
Still more amazing is a story told by
the late head Of the Paris morgue.
Five times within his experience dead
bodies brought to the morgue were
found to be wearing a certain ring
easily dis~tinguishable by its strange
design. 1t bore in eastern characters
this legend: May whosoever wears
this ring die a miserable death" NJ
Maca, late chief Of the Partisan police,
youches for the truth of this.
