THE MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS.
Coffee Declines Is to 90 Points
Provisions Close Lower.

Coffee prices broke from Is to 20
points yerterday and the market closed
weak at the bottom levels. Disappointing
European cables, bearish Brazilian news
and the withdrawal of bull support, which
had recently been the markets leading
sustaining factor brought about the de-
cline Europe was credited with selling
a considerable amount OF coffee here. and
this prompted many local holders TO liqui-

"Line" In LehiHh.

The action OF Lehigh Valley recently
has given some indications that the per
sistent selling pressure has been lifted
temporarily at least. In fact the price
of the stock has established quite
Zine" In these levels. That is interest
ing in view of report that the recent
selling represented the holdings OF a local
trust company. which were thrown over
for reasons having nothing to do with
the intrinsic worth of the stock. 1t Is
also said that the holdings OF the big
stockholders have not only remained In
tact, but have actually been increased. II
this Is correct, current opinions rs to the
prospects for the stock are probably all
to be revised. II has been generally
held that the decline in Lehieh Valley
meant that the dividend would be re-
duced at the next meeting. But now tina I
the stock has. apparently. ceased to fall
by itself. it lis perhaps reasonable to sup
pose that the arguments why this should
not be done. AT least immedia tely. such
as the large surplus and the average
earnings of the past five years, should be
given the greater weight

4 Thin Market.

IL was very thin market yesterday
ooth ways. In the morning there was a
pronounced scarcity of stocks and many
oruers and in the afternoon the reverse
was the case. The rebound in prices in
me morning was altogether extraordinary
IN the extent and the swiftness OF the
movement A comparison OF high prices
with the low of last Saturday shows an
extreme advance OF 3 points in Anal
gamated Copper. az in Canadian Pacific,
3's In Reading, 3% IN Union Pacific, 2is
IN steel and az in Southern Pacific. No
such violent changes in SO short space
OF time have been seen for many many
months. There WAS eloquent testimony
therein OF the highly unusual condition
INTO which the stock market had been
brought by the previous decline. The move
could not have occurred unless the stock
market had been not only thoroughly
shaken out of weak accounts but also
greatly oversold. The outstanding feature
was the small amount of trading on which
the changes were brought about. The
only explanation thereof was that an TN
usually large number OF spectators for
the decline had remained short over the
week end confident of further losses

II. WILSON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
Or. Settler Says Baby is Healthy and
Apparently From Two to Five
Days Old-Being Cared For.

Thursday morning when Mr.. B. H.
Wilson walked into his front yard at
abou, a quarter to : o'clock he saw an
ordinary octagon soap box inside the
yard near the front gate. Upon eX-
animation he found in the box, wrap
ped in two blankets a real live white
baby boy There was a bottle Of warm
water placed inside the box and apart
from this there was nothing else in
the box. Mr.. Wilson Immediately
phoned for Sheriff Blease.
Sheriff Blease responded to the call
and took with him Dr. ]. B. Se;zler.
Dr.. Settler examined the little fellow
and stated that he was about three
days old and is very healthy speci-
man of humanity and as Sheriff Blease
says bright and good looking. The
child was brought to town and Sheriff
Blease purchased some clothing for it
and Policeman B F. Melton kindly Of
fered to take care of the child, pend
ing investigation of the case. There is
no evidence indicating who left the
child nor where it came from. Sheriff
Blease and DR.. Settler state that it
nad probably been left in the yard not
