Daily Stock Letter.

limited Press Leased Wire serv1ce.l
NEW YORK, July 31.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today says:
The extreme heat and more or less
inconsistency on the
subject Of peace and its effect on
the securities market took all the
ginger out Of what promised IN the
first hour or so to be a relatively
active buying movement. Short Gov
aring and some quiet professional
and semi.professional buying Of stocks
lifted the general industrial list to a
materially higher level with the
steel group in the lead.
In the second hour good portion
of the early gains were neutralized'
not so much by liquidation as by the
Iack of news DEVELOPMENTS. Through
out tho midday period trading was
almost at standstill, but the under
tone remained strong.

The ExIczar's Daily Life.

Springfield, Mass, Republican:
Many have wondered how the ex-czar
has been faring since the overturn IN
his country brought him low. OF spe-
cial interest, therefore, was the recent
despatch from Petrograd in which 1t
was related that the former emperor
had brought the question Of the sup
port to his family before the revolu-
tionary government. A total income
of $3,2O0,000 which he acknowledges,
does not reveal abject poverty. An
American family on that basis would
be- in position to take a good, many
Liberty bonds. OF course, Nicholas
Romaaoff has been accustomed TO
scale Of living quite out of proportion
to his present circumstances and that
point OF view is to be kept in mind.
Nevertheless, the world will have no
tears to shed over the financial situa-
ton of the former car. There will be
much more interest in learning how
the czar and his family are being treat
ed under the new order Of things. In
formation regarding this is given by
the Moscow Russkoye Slovo. The
prisoners are at the Alexander palace
at Tsarskoe Selo near Petrograd, ana
by order OF the new government hus-
band and wife never meet. Here Is
the detailed picture Of their daily lie.
They occupy the upper floor OF the
palace, but different apartm ents. the
minister Of Justice having ordered the
czar and czarina should not meet eacn
other, It was on this condition that
the cxarina had been allowed to stay
with her children, who were Ill. Daily
life in the palace begins rather late;
The prisoners arise between and III
o'clock. They are given tea. and the
ex.czar sends out a soldier to get some
papers, usually the Byetch and the
Pirzhevisya vedemosti. The RUSS
kovo he gets daily from Moscow, the
wrapper being addressed to Nikolal
Alexander Romanofr. At 1 o'clock
luncheon is served, usually consisting
of green vegetables, potatoes ana
sweets. After luncheon the ex-premier
escorted by an orderly officer. takes
walk in the garden. Sometimes ne
has two walks a day and usually goes
about In military uniform AT q
O'Clock there is dinner, consisting OF
four courses, including fish. Usually
half a bottle OF red wine is placed on
the table, but nobody touches 1t. ana
the bottle travels back to the cellar
unopened. The dinner is charged at
4 rubles, 80 copecks ($2.25) per per-
son.
