Benefits Of Royal Academy.

A membership Of the Royal acad.
envy of London carries with 1t numer'
GUS advantages In word the acad-
envy is benefit society founded on
very generous scale. The pension
fund of Burlington house is splendid
one. Any Royal Academician who
falls upon hard times or who Is pre-
vented by Ill health from following
his profession may claim pension,
and the pension sometimes runs into
as much as $4,000 year.
The Royal Academician who dies In
straitened circumstances and leaves
his widow and children insufficiently
provided for is not thought any the
less of for his i'll fortune. The Royal
academy shows it's sympathy by gem
erously allowing those who were de-
pendent on him liberal sum for their
maintenance. And the wife and the
children of a deceased Royal Acade-
mician receive many kindnesses and
acts of charity from the hands Of the
living Royal Academicians, which are
quite distinct from those given by this

Daily stock Letter.

copyright 1912 by The New York
Evening Post.l
NEW YORK, July 24.-Today's
stock market was utterly stagnant
and in the last hour trading for a
time almost ceased. Price changes
on the whole were inconsequential.
There was no such heavy selling as
yesterday and although little support
was afforded, most of the standard
shares ruled fairly steady. Except
for the statement of the national
banks, nothing developed in the days
news to affect speculation. Some
heed was given to the predictions of
disaster that could be expected to be-
fall the country in the event that the
Legislation proposed by the Stanley
committee became law. These warn
fngs were not taken seriously, how
ever, since no one expects that the
antitrust laws VIII be amended on
lines laid down by the committee that
has been Investigating the steel trust.
The grain markets were affected by
the highly favorable crop news and
the price of both wheat and corn
was lowered here in consequence.
The movement of grain prices reflect
ed highly conflicting influences how
ever, and it was evident that the
operations of spectators played an
important part in the trading.
