interests" Miss Margaret Cameron, a
member of the Hawley household,
known variously as niece and a pro-
tege of the bachelor millionaire. also
has made 1t plain that she must he
considered. Stanchfield says she has no
claim against the estate, but she has
retained a lawyer and says she expects
to be taken care of.
Walter S. Crandall and William p.
Hawley, nephews, and Frank II. Davis,
Hawley's business partners, today quail
fed as administrators of the Hawley es-
tate by filing bond for 2,OOO,O0O. They
announced that for the present the
Hawley policies, as planned by the dead
man, will be carried out. 1t Will be

they will take up any claims that may
arise against the estate.
Meanwhile Mrs. Frederick II. Gran

this winter, and, timidly clutching her
tiny tambourine, asked for permission
to sing in the court yard. That perms-

into a succession of wonderful melodies
of her native land. High up in the
court a few windows were opened and
a shower of coins fell down.
What a remarkably sweet voice that

her. She really would make a name

New York Stock Market.

Wall St., New York, July 15.-STOCKS-
Lat Saturdays bank statement, which
completely corrected the unfavorable con-
dition of the preceding week, was helpful
to tmparting strong tone of stocks dur
ing today's easy session. Most of the
leaders were up a point more with
what looked like accumulative buying in
certain issues, particularly Union Pacific
and Norfolk and Western, the latter ap-
preaching its recent high record. Steel.
General Electric, Westinghouse, Amalga-
mated and Can all shared in the advance,
while st. Paul, after early weakness,
slackened in a marked manner before
noon.
Bonds were steady.
st. Paul soon recovered and the rest
with gains of point or better for Union
Pacific, Reading, Lehigh Valley, Great
Northern preferred, Norfolk and Western,
Can, the Electric shares and some special
ties.
During midday the market became duller
with no loss of strength. Brooklyn Tran
sit rose a point and gains of to
points were recorded by Illinois Central,
Western Maryland and Guggenheim Elk
pIoration.
Aside from renewed weakness in st. Paul,
stocks showed steady tone at the open
ing today. The principal features were
Union Pacific, Great Northern prpeferred,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas and Rock Is
land preferred, the latter gaining full
point.
St. Paul sold over two points above its
low level of last Saturday in the late
trading today, while other standard shares
were inclined to harden, despite the IN
creasing dullEess.
The market closed strong. Best prices
were made in the last hour on minimum
of operations. American Iopacco was me
