FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS prsPArCHl

NEW YORK, July 19.-To the ac- compartment of greater activity, to- days stock market increased it's re- cent gains. The rise was so gradual as to be almost imperceptible, and gave color to the belief that the movement was deriving it's chief inn pulse from expert manipulation. The same conditions that served earlier iii the week-the crop outlOok-in- creased activity in various fields of industry and easier money were again contributing factors. United States Steel was under pressure but moved forward with other speculative favor ties, although in a lesser degree than Union Pacific, St. Paul Amalgamated Copper and numerous specialties. Some of the latter advanced two to five points.
 Reports of a general betterment in most lines of trade found cOnfirma- tiOn in increased bank exchanges, although this gratifying condition was rulifed by poor collections. Local banks continue to gain from the in terior, this weeks cash increase be- ing estimated at no less than $6, 900 900 Bonds, steady with total sales, par value $1, ,985, GOO.

Offices" Etc.

There is disposition in some quar- ters to resent the action of The Re publican in handing their resigna- tiOns' to members of the legislature who have accepted offices of trust and profit under the state We un- derstand that the attorney generals office has rendered a decision though perhaps informal. that Messrs. Wood, rendered their rights as legislators by accepting the offices respectively, of secretary of the fair commission, secretary of the live stock board and live stock inspector. The at torney- general. we understand holds that these are jobs of profit and trust and not offices.
 We will agree with the attorney generals office that if secretary ship of the fair board, or a secretary ship of the live stock board or a live stock inspectorship is a militia appointment justiceship, a United States cOmmissiOnership, the office of notary public or fourth class post mastership, Messrs. Wood Bradner and Saxon are still members of the legislature and we will take back all We have said on the subject.
 But the administration should not get to drawing the line too tightly and making distinctions between of fees and jobs" for we are thinking that before long the administration will be wanting to give the word

It had previously been announced by MT. Quay that he would perma- nently retire to private life, but later, he changed his mind and decided to serve another term in the senate. But there were difficulties in the way. The republican revolt against Quayism in Pennsylvania was already formidable, and here and there in assembly districts there were coali- tions between democrats and repub- licans against Quay. It was doubtful of the legislature. Ordinary and time worn appeals to party loyalty would avail no longer Quay had become the predominant issue. Tariff and prosperity had been thrown into the background. There must be some thing new and spectacular and that astute politician saw what no one else did. the possibilities of the spec tacular in MT. Roosevelt. He could be invested with great military re- nown. He could be made to dazzle the eyes of the disaffected. Accord ingly MT. Quay had his way and un- der the skiIlful direction of Mr. Quay, MT. Roosevelt's reputation began to be made.
 Quay overcame the objections of Hanna in this way: He prepared resolution for the reduction of the southern representation in the con ventiOn, always a popular move and always distasteful to the administra- tion. Similar resolutions had been effectively used as a club over re- publican leaders of conventions and they have since been. When MT. Hanna was convinced that Quay in tended to go farther and actually in troduce his resolution. he pocketed his personal dislike of Mr Roosevelt and permitted his nomination
