Price Movements Irregular
and Generally Lower Dur
ing the Week.

LONDON. June "a holiday tone
during the week price movements were
irregular and generally lower. The an
nouncement that most Of the budget sur
plus will be used for sinking fund purposes
cheered the gilt-edged section at the time.
Consols gained half a point, but this I'M
provement was lost later, under realiz-
ing. Rubber shares were weak on fears
Of gradually falling prices for the raw
material as production increases. Hudson
bay shares fiuctuated widely on the an
nouncement OF new share splitting
scheme, and Paris sold copper stocks and
kaf1irs rather freely.
American securities moved narrowly
and irregularly. United States Steel i'm
proved a point on favorable trade ad-
vices, but the market generally was dull
and undressing. awaiting political de-
velopments in Baltimore. New York. On

Places Faith in Crops.

What Wall street will insist upon talk
ing most about, however, during the en-
suing months, while politics Is fervid, will
have to do largely with the crops. 1t can
be accepted as certain that the policy of
those who believe in the markets under
lying strength will be to urge that not
politics on politicians can count as serious
factors against the prospect land by cleo
tion time the realization) of great
hArvests marketable at high prices. Not
only the railroads but the industrials it
will be pointed out must base their for
tunes Upon the agricultural return. And
at this period there Is spot upon the
prospect. Here and there is some re-
striction in area, largely the result of
flood damage in the Mississippi district ,
but in the large national way there has
been planting expansion. and similarly
encouraging are the reports Of crop con-
ditions. Therefore. urge all those upon
the bull side OF the stock market. agri-
cultural prosperity is virtually assured
with definiteness. and therein is the ample
foundation for a new market uprise which
can extend even into the proportions Of q
boom, The talk is getting to be fervent.
There will be no advertisements by the
gentlemen who are prepared to undertake
leadership of the bull campaign. They
have the stocks. they have the money
too. Better prospects for success have not
been visible at the start OF any similar
campaign during the decade.
What is Of helpful Importance to the
bull program is in the fact that not In
any recent time has the public been car
rying so few securities upon margin, so
few that can be shaken out, be scared or
induced to take quick profits at mo-
ments beginning. Stocks at present are
more largely owned outright--are better
distributed actual investments in the
pubiic's hands-than ever before. 1t is
indeed, the testimony of practically every
one of our big corporations that the list
OK stockholders, real owners Of stocks,
is far longer than ever formerly was the
average. Particularly Is this true in
premier properties like the Pennsylvania
railroad. II is true OF United States
Steel. 1t Is true even OF many OF the
lesser corporations The public In its
stock market operations in regent times
have been bona fide buyers. not specu-
lators. Where they used TO carry upon
margins, and frequently very thin mar
gins. they now own. II will thus be
found that there is a reverse side, after
all. to the long continued plant OF Wall
street that the public was holding aloof.

BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Bankers, brok-
ers and the men in charge of the head
quarters of railroads and industrials in
fact, every body in and about Wall street
having out-of-town connections have
been earnestly seeking during the last
few weeks for accurate information about
business conditions in every part of the
country. The interests referred to aim
to keep in closest touch with actual con-
ditions and also with the state of mind"
AS rule. they have no opinions Of their
own to back up, but want the facts upon
which they can form intelligent judy
ment as to the future. Responses to the
line of wholesale inquiry have been sur
prisingly similar in tenor. The burden
of the advices Is that business everywhere
is encouraging. 1t is clearly on the up
turn in all parts of the United States.
Manufacturers. almost without exception,
report expanding business. Orders are
coming in in very satisfactory way.
and better prices are obtained for
products.
The only cloud in the sky is politics,
and that seems to be given a subordinate
place In the calculations of most busi-
ness men and f1nanciers. although nobody

mitted that the political situation con-
tains elements of danger and disturbance,
but most people seem to have made up
their minds to be resigned and reconciled
to whatever may happen-a cheerful and
philosophical frame of mind, which is
the result of long continued agitation,
sometimes bordering on hysteria. Cen
eral sentiment in the business world is
unquestionably calmer than it has been
In several years.
The stock market survived the BRAIN
storming out in Chicago and it has &C
cepted developments this week in Balti-
more even more cheerfully. Not even
the certainty Of platform committing the
democratic party to decided tariff revi-
sion downward gave more than a moder-
ate shock. That the convention should
take such action had been accepted all
along as one of the certainties and the
manufacturing interests have made their
minds to accept the inevitable with as
good grace possible. AS before noted
in these dispatches, the leading manu-
featuring industries have proved that
they can compete in the worlds markets
on a free trade basis. All that is needed
is capital enough to carry products to the
distant markets and await the sometimes
tedious process of returns.

CAUSE ACCIDENTS
Boston, June ia South
Boston surface car, with 100 men,
women and children aboard, left
the tracks on the Broadway ex-
tension bridge, and crashed head
on into power house.
Five women and three men
were badly injured, and all the
passengers suffered to some ex-
tent.
Only small log, which struck
and turned the wheels of the car,
prevented it running off the
bridge and crashing 90 feet to the
railroad tracks below.
The accident was caused by the
"greenness" of the strikebreaking
motorman, who was running his
car too swiftly over the union of
the bridge and the stationary
tracks.
Two surface cars crashed at
corner of Harrison ave. and Dud-
ley street yesterday. Both of one
passengers feet were cut off, and
his neck broken. Several wom-
en- were badly injured. THE po-
lice rushed all the passengers to
the city hospital in private autos,
and refused details of the injuries \
or accident.
This collision also was caused
by green" strikebreakers.

Student of British Museum Dis

: lossi in Water-Loseed Plain
Of Old Memphis.

Cairo, Egypt. = Another sphinx,
weighing ninety tons, and carved rom
a single block OF alabaster, has been
unearthed at a point between the
world-famed> colossi, on the water
logged plains Of Memphis, in Egypt
For hundreds of years it has lain in a
recumbent position buried beneath the
sands on the road to Sakkareh. To-
day it is half-exposed to view, ana
next year it is to be raised to verti-
cal position above the water-line.
This newly found sphinx was betray-
ed in It's hiding place by its tall Whlch
Mr.. Mackay, one Of the students OF the
British School in Egypt, discovered
about e. year ago. This year. when
the water on the plain subsided, the
complete figure was excaVateo. ana
was found to measure some fourteen
feet in height and twenty-six feet in
length. Alabaster being a rock foreign
to the neighborhood, the new sphinx
ranks as the largest that has ever
been transported The figure bears no
inscription, but is considered by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, the director Of the
British School in Egypt, to have been
carved about 1900 B. C. Many other
remarkable discoveries, taking the
mind back as far as $500 B. c., and
lifting the veil Of centuries from
Egypt's romantic story, have also been
made by the same school, and. with
the exception Of a red granite group
of Rameses II and the god ptah, which
will be sent direct to the Ny Carls5ers
Museum at Copenhagen, and few
other details, are now on exhibition at
University College, Cover street. They
include many objects quite new to
Egyptologists.
Among these are coffins made OF
basket work, reeds or withes, sandal
trays, an axe handle, in which the grip
is composed Of delicately knotted
string, pot of unburnt incense for
dre-ofering Of 1000 B. c., and numer-

formation the principles of building
construction that were in 'ogue nearly
5000 years B. c.
The graves of the early Egyptians
were always well provided with such
necessaries as We're thought essential
for the spirit of the departed when it
again materialized. Consequently, the
relics from Tarkhan include headrests
(some Of them carved out Of trees
trained specially into peculiar shapes,
sandals, large jars of food, and various
vessels of gypsum and semi-transpar-
cnt alabastar Some of the vases bear
the name Of N1ena. the earliest known
Egyptian king. They are considered
by some experts to be a tribute CORE
spending to the modern floral wreath.
Evidence is also provided Of the lack
Of historical sentiment in the Roman
occupants of Egypt by numerous exam
pies of inscribed Egyptian tablets that
have been used as hearth stones, door
lintels, and mill stones. There is also
enple evidence Of the belief that sac
rilege among the tombs was more COM
mon in the earlier periods Of Egyptian
history than IN later periods.
