FINANCES AND MARKETS
tAssoCIATED PRESS p1spArcHl


 NEW YORK, Sept 6.-Speculative conditions today did not favor active movements in stocks and the mar ket was dull. The holiday on the London exchange deprived this mar ket Of a stimulus from that source. Uncertainty regarding the weekly bank statement and the forthcoming crop report also tended to keep down speculative commitments to a mini mum. The undertone was distinctly strong. The most important move ment of today was q slump of near ly two points in New Haven
 The withdrawal of J. P Morgan and company as fiscal agents for the road led to active trading in that stock at the opening and it quickly declined to 90h d point above the low record. At that figure it met support and mounted steadily until 1t scored a full recovery. In the list of specialtes Pullman, Peoples Gas and California Petroleum made ma terial gains. The showing of the banks was better than was expected $6S0,00O. L. S. Panama threes cou- pons advanced.

MARKET MASTER MUSTERS
 MORE MURDER MUNITIONS
May Make Many Men Mumble Mirth
 lessly Monday Morning.

Market Master Medley appeared in | the city treasurer's office yesterday { with q pump gun of the latest make and after making sure that every body in the office had taken good squint at him. gravely announced
 that he intended getting up bright and early this morning for the pur- pose of slaughtering a few wild ducks
 Right there City Treasurer Bar nett became interested and started a talk with the crowd all about the right thing to do when hunting Presently Medley became interested
 and soon the talk took on the aspect of a hunt club with Barnetts stories we'll in the lead.
 Medley became so interested in the conversation that he forgot all about his inexperience and promised the gang the biggest and best duck din- her ever held in Phoenix. To make sure that he will be able to carry out his promises he has got himself a gun with a barrel over two yards long so that if he misses the ducks with the shot he will be able to re verse the gun ana use it as a club. The gun has the calibre of cannon
 of the coast defense variety and any
 thing that gets within a mile on
 each side of the muzzle can say good bye to it's friends and resign itself
 to the cooking pot.
 Mealeys intimate friends however,
 upon hearing of the proposed eXcur-
 sion into the Wilds of the Salt River
 valley. stated that Mealey would be
 extremely lucky if he came back with
 two mudhens and if anyone was fool
 enough to starVe themselves in an
 ticipation of the duck dinner they
 would be fit persons to send out to
 Dr. Kingsley's sanitarium on the
 Tempe road.
 Beside the big cannon mentioned
 above, Medley has laid in d large
 stock of dynamite cartridges and a large bottle of chloroform so that II
 the gun goes back on him he will be able to put the game under the in
 fluence of the anesthetic and thus bring it home.

MISCOACEPT!ON ABOUT
 MAILEE'S MAIL MATTER
Letter Belongs to Sender, Not Sendee, Until Actually Delivered; McClln
 tock Points Out the Rule
What is your mail ?"

W nat IS your mall
 That was the puzzled question ad- dressed to Postmaster McClintock yes terday by one of his clients. And once launched upon the subject, the colonel made explanation, which was about like this:
 Your mail is the mail you send. When one speaks about going down tc the postoffice for my mail, he is technically wrong, for he has no mail until 1t is correctly placed in his hand. The sender is boss of the let ter until it is correctly delivered The sendec has nothing to say about the disposition of letters or other mail matter addressed to him.
 The cause of this discussion was an incident in a story in recent issue of a magazine The story tells Of a sympathetic young man who blows up a safe in order to recover a registered letter for a young wom- an who has changed her mind about sending it. The story was a bully one. but it was founded on mis- understanding of the powers of the sender of a letter. As a matter of fact, if the girl had gone to the postoffice the next day or had sent to the receiving postoffice, she could have recovered her letter without trouble or question. But for the pur- poses of fiction. one of the peculiarly unknown postal laws was ignored en- tirely
 "So," concluded Colonel McCIntock If you have any letters in transit, they are the ones you yourself have sent, and. not those you go down to the postoffice every morning to get"

Our next meeting will be held al
the home of Mrs. Henry G. Newton,
Wednesday, May 21. A large atten-
dance is desired. Our next State
Convention will be held in Detroit
from the 3rd to 9Th of June, and
every member and as many visitors
as possibly can should plan to attend
This will be a great meeting and a
treat that does not often come our
way, as they are so apt to be held
a long distance away. 1t will pay
to make a real sacrifice to attend
that convention.
While we are considering prohibi-
ton as a state issue, it is neverthe-
less a National issue, and the day
is not far distant when it will as
sumo such proportions as to compel
Congress to give us absolute and un-
conditional prohibition on every inch

with a monster bouquet, Mrs. Shep-

was sincerely appreciated by the
white ribboners of Utah as we'll as
other states, and she commended his

Clio Man Gets in Wrong.

Archie Dyball of Clio was arraigned
in Justice Torrey's court this morning
on charge of breaking into the pool
room and bowling alleys of Byron
Bibbins at Clio Sunday morning. Dyball,
it is declared, was caught leaving the
store by rear door about 10 O'Clock
Sunday morning with five boxes of
cigars, and quantity of other goods. He
had gained an entrance througha a rear
window and after stocking up with
tobacco and chewing gum, rifled the
cash register securing about 81 in pen
MES and broke open peanut machine
with hammer in an attempt to get the
money in the chash box.
After searching Dyball and taking his
,plunder away from him Bibbins allowed
him to go and did not report the matter
to Deputy Sheriff Powers until Monday.
Suspecting that Dyball had been
implicated in several other jobs of a
similar nature within the last few
weeks, the deputy secured a warrant
for his arrest and found him at work in
Birch Run. In DybalPs trunk were
found part of box of cigars, and
other artiles which had been taken from
the pool rooms and a pawn ticket for a
watch which it is alleged he stole from
AL Wilmarth when he was employed by
the latter in the pool room now run by
Bibbins. The case has been adjourned
until Saturday and Dyball's bail fixed
at $400.

NuCHIGAN's FORGOTTEN CITY

The news that a summer hotel is
to be built at Port Sheldon, at the
mouth of Pigeon River, in Ottawa
county, recalls the romantic history
of city that was intended to be the
metropolis of western Michigan, but
which instead has entirely disap-
peared. Port Sheldon is but a men,
ory of the wildcat days of the late
thirties, when one of the first west
ern booms was in full swim 21nGA CHI
igan was then the west, a ON
Philadelphia came a colony Or BRO
moters intent upon founding a new
city. Paper values began to rise as
soon as the party had disembarked,
plot of the coming metropolis was
staked out and a hotel opened with
much pomp and ceremony. The
building, an imposing structure for
it's time, was the scene of much gay
ETY. and revelry. A depot was built
at an expense of $4,000, although
the nearest railroad was over 100
miles away. All this was, it should
be remembered, when Chicago was
less than six years old and no city
worthy of the name existed in Mich
igan west of Detroit.
Port Sheldon was laid out in lots
62x12S feet, board walks marked
the streets, stores were built and
stocked, lighthouse placed at the
mouth of the river and harbor bell
installed. The river was navigable
for boats of heavy draught then,
though since it has become clogged
with sand bars.
Wealthy families from the east
frequented Port Sheldon during its
short period of prosperity, their daz-
cling wealth making a striking con-
trast with the stolid Indians who
,rosmed the streets in feathers and
buckskins.
suddenly this bubble Of prosperity
came to an end. The thirties were
d decade Of speculation and abuse Of
credit In which money was spent
with reckless freedom. In 1888. the
panic which year before had en-
gulfed the east, swept upon Michi-
gan. The company found itself at
the end Of its resources and the pro-
ject was given up.
The houses were moved away, the
hotel dismantledc the harbor slowly
fiiled with sand and soon Port Shell
don became but memory, or to the
modern pleasure seeker but pic

cities of Holland and Grand Haven.
