and in groups. In the upper stands the
holders of the SO reserve coupons filed
in gradually and filled the entire horse
shoe of 5000 seats, while flags and pen
nants tapped in the northeast breeze
and leaden gray sky enclosed the
park and its waiting thousands.
In marked contrast to the scenes
of previous years, the great gathering
was noticeably undemonstratiVe. There
was little or no throwing of paper
balls or sneW storms made by tearing
newspapers in small pieces and scat
tering them on the crowds below. The
Athletics appeared to have almost as
many supporters present as the Giants
and their appearance and every sue
ceeding brilliant pla,, elected as much
applause as did those of the home
team. The same conditions prevailed
all through the game. The cow bells
and horns of former years We're not
in evidence and the tauntS of rabld
fans were few and far between. The
game was witnessed and appreciated
in a sane manner and winner and
loser alike reaped the Just reward of
their efforts.

Keep Bath Water Hot.

The usual objection to hot baths is
that the bather takes cold unless he
goes straight to bed as soon as he has
dried himself. Otherwise, so they say,
he goes on perspiring and takes
chill. Now this Is due not to having
had :. hot bath. but because the water
was not hot enough when the pather
got out of it. Hot water has the same
effect as cold in bracing up the sweat
pores and preventing them from con-
tinuing TO pour out unnecessary pers-
riration. Iukewarin water on the
other hand leaves the skin lax and
moist, and ii is then that people are
liable to chills. The best temperature
at which to take a liot bath is 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit, or just below that.
If more water is added afterward it
should be hot, not cold. SO as to MAIN
tain the temperature at the same level.
With the aid of, these precautions 1t
will he found that drying is simple
process, and the skin is left in de-
lightfal state without any undue pers-
piration to follow.--The Argus.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Oct. stocks rose slightly
in the early trading, today, with the best
showing of strength by Reading, Cana
dian Pacific, Can and Amalsamated. In
the second hour the market fell back
again and business virtually ceased.
Prices were a deal level until short
ly before the close. when there was a
small upturn. Final changes among the
leading stocks were unimportant. Tobac-
co issues We're exceptionally weak.
The significant feature of the day was
cessation of the liquidation in iron and
steel stocks, which had been driving them
down for several DAYS. 1t was the opin-
ion of some traders that selling of three
stocks. particularly United States Steel.
shorts was the main factor in the morn
ing advance Profits on the short side
as a result of the recent slump were ex-
tensive enough to induce retirement of
short contracts, and bear traders found
little difficulty in covering. Aside from
the demand from this source, bidding for
stocks was small, and after the covering
movement ceased the market WAS allowed
to take care of itself
In the afternoon, trading was on the
smallest scale of many weeks. Traders
took more interest in baseball than in
the stock market and when the cham
pionship game began crowds around the
news tickers which reported the game
were larger than those about most of
the trading posts ON the floor of the ex-
change. The firmer tone of American
stocks in London Influenced the opening
here. London reversed its position i'm
this market, purchasing 150t0 shares APP
proxmately the number it disposed of

rates tended TO restrict speculation. Time

HORSE MARKET.

Boston, Oct. There was good
all-round trade at the sale stables,
during the week, with the market
steady. Supplies were light, which
with good demand cleaned up the
offerings fairly well at most of the
sales. The best demand was for the
heavy horses, as usual, and orders
were filed for the logging camps, and
to the local trade in this class of
horses, with values firm, and in some
cases a shade higher, although the
general range was unchanged. There
was also a fair demand for lighter
weight horses. There were no special
sales of green horses offered, but there
were number of horses in good con-
dition from short service that were.
put up in lots, selling readily at good
values. There was little trade in driy-
ing, combination and saddle horses.
