NEW TOnK. Ansr. 8- Efforts were made
today to ehlft speculative Interests Into new
quarters o' tho market. The opening dealings
showed that the glamor of the supposed plan
for a merger of Southern trunk line railroads
had taken hold upon the Imagination of the
speculative world, and most of tho stocks
wtoh were vlolentlr affected yesterday start
ed off on a fresh upward movement today. But
It also became quickly evident that tho move
ment was overrunning" Itself. Either the de
elro to take profits or the belief that the
pr!c6 had been lifted to above the Intrinsic
value of stocks led to prompt reaction in
Louisville. Illinois Central, and conspicuously
In Hockln Valley. The last-named stock not
only lost Its opening rise of this morning.
but all of yesterday's sensational gains as
well. The reaction was not so violent in other
stocks, althouch Rock Inland developed
heavy tone, and Colorado Fuel became wealc
with rouch sentimental effect upon the general
market. It cannot bo said that the reaction
In the- Southern group materially altered the
conviction In the street that Important oe
velonments are impending regarding this group,
Tho difficult encountered by Louisville In
Its advance above 150 was attributed to tho
fan that that Is the figure at which the op
tion Is supposed" to be held by J. P. Morgan
JSt Co., to buy the control of the road. Soma
of the largest selling of the Southern trunk
lines wns by brokers usually employed by the
speculative leader, whose publicly proclaimed
"bullishness" was a forerunner of "yesterday's
violent advances. Probably some disappoint
nrrnt was felt because the official announce
ment of the acquisition of the Chicago &. east
ern Illinois by the St. Louis & San Franclsec
contained no reference to the further exten-
sje projects which are supposed to lie back
of that operation. In fact, no official counte
nance could be secured from any source of
yesterday's many rumors. The belief was
hold that this and other important projects
may have to await tho return of J. P. Mor
iran. now on the way here from Europe.
Among the new points of strength the roost
conspicuous and most Influential was that in
the Erie stocks. No reason was forthcoming
for their advance beyond a revival of old
rumors of large holdings In the property by
J, J. Hill, and plans for Its improvement by
that capitalist. The rise In Amalgamated Cop
per seemed to be purely speculative in Us ori
gin. Other points of strength were tho Colo
rado & Southern stocks. Texas & Pacific and
a number of minor stocks. The banks havo
not gained enough from the Interior to offset
the drain on the Subtreasury. and a poor bank
return Is indicated. This and tho holiday
prompted to realization late In the day, and
the closing was dull and Irregular. The bond

During the early part of this week the In
terest In the stock market had fallen to so
low an ebb that the members of the Stock
Exchange eagerly aalled themselves of the
coronation of the King of England on Satur
day, and as an occasion for a holiday peti
tioned the governors with practical unanimity
to cloao tho Exchange. After this action 'had
been taken, the market sprang into activity
again, And by Thursday the volume of deal
lngs had again risen to well above 500,000
shares. The fact that the awakening was co
Incident with the return to New York from
,a vacation trip of the putatlvo leader of al
the Important speculative movements that
have recently occurred did not escape notice
and comment, and the. public outgivings of
this leader of enthusiastic confidence In higher
prloes tor the future warranted an Inference
that his' own operations In the market were j
shaped to that "end. Some of the most vio
lent movements were In stocks In which this
leader and his following have been conspicu
ous and successful operators In the past, and
In which their continuing Interest Is avowed.
These price jnoements have 4een accompa
nied by a flood of rumors which may be either
cause or effect, but which have a bearing on
tho stock market situation in any event. Offi
cial announcement or even admission on the
subject has been menger. but there is a gen
eral credence In theory that important devel
opments are Impending, looking to the con
solidation of Interests In the Southern trunk
line field. The only accomplished fact of the
week upon which to hang the theory was the
formal announcement of the plan to take over
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois by the St.
Louis & San Franolsco. This and the recent
reaching out by the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco system In other directions into the
Southern field, made it evident that there were
new relations to be adjusted in that field.
Stocks of other systems which the new ele
ment might bo supposed to threatgn with dan
gerous rivalry, instead of showing depression.
were buoyant In the market, and the specula
tive public promptly formed the Inference that
relations were to be harmonized throughout
that field. There has been no development
In the money market to Indicate effective re
lief. Tho week's gold shipment was called
special transaction, and was attributed to
the working out of Austria-Hungary's current
conversion plan, but it Is believed that this
may draw somo further gold from here. The
Paris demand for gold In tho London market
has also shown signs of revival. General con'
dltlons In this country have continued highly
favorable to values, except for tho continu
ance of the anthracito miners' strike and some
threats of labor troubles Jn other directions.
Tho bond market as a rulo has been rather
quiet and Irregular for Investment Issues, al
though there has been an active market for
some speculative bonds. United States Ss
have declined Uc on coll since last week.

DENVER, Aug. a A new case was filed In
tho District Court today In the interest of
John W. Gates, against the Colorado Fuel &
Iron" Company, by Attorneys Wolcott, Vail and
Waterman, to compel the company to permit
an Inspection of the stock books. This time
William N. Vail Is the complainant and D. C
Beaman, secretary of the company, Is mada
defondant. Tho suit of Ingcr, which' was dis
missed by Judge Johnson, was practically
Identical with this one, except that the secre
tary, as custodian of the books, Is made de
fendant Instead of the board of directors.
LOCAL MARKETS.
Grain, Flopr, Etc,
Sixty-one cents was the ruling quotation on
Walla Walla wheat yesterday, and even at
that figure there was no wild rush for the
cereal. On the other hand, but few of the
holders were pushing their stuff on the market-
Tho light demand for flour Is holding baok
the milling demand for wheat, and millers aro
accordingly less x Inclined to pay much ot a
premium for old stock for grinding. Freights
continue very weak, with no new transactions
reported. Twenty-five shillings is bid for me-'
dlum-slzed sailers, and they are obtainable
at a shade better than 26 shillings.

not come In quite so freely. Prices show but
little change, but Crawford peaches have be
come so plentiful that they are not cleaning
up so well at quotation! as they were a few
days ago. The tomato crop seems to be ripen

that a further break In prices Is expected.

FLOWERS ON SHIPBOARD.
Exlrnvnganco Criticised uy OflloinI
of Tjrans-Atlantlo Liners.
New York Times. .
"If the language of flowers was audible
a full-grown boiler factory would be
retreat of somnolence and silence com'
pared with the pier of anyone of these
big trans-Atlantic liners on sailing
days during these prosperous times," ealft
the superintendent of one of the lines last
Wednesday morning, as he stood on the
dock and pointed out no lcs.i than elz
highly ornate florists' wagons drawn up
alongside the gangway and their liveried
footmen transfcrrlntr irreat loeda of dalnt
Uy beribboned boxes to the steamer deck
and down into the dining saloon.
"They've been arriving all morning:
continued the official, "and the delivery
win Keen up until tne very last minute.
And look at those fruit wagons lined up
there. There la about $500 worth of fancy
fruit, about three dollars' worth of which
will be thoroughly enjoyed, and ag for
flowers, the Lord only knows what quan
titles are piled up in the staterooms and
dining saloon now. nine-tenths of which
will probably be overboard by the time the
ship gets well Into the eeas outside, for
there; are timcs on the ocean when to
tho novice the odors of tuberoses and
boiled turnips amount to about the same
thing. The custom of sending flowers to
departing voyagers Is becoming more and
more universal, and tne wonder to me
is that the surfeit, from which many so
clety people suffer on sailing day, has
not long ago rendered It de trop.
"It uoed to be that a small bouquet or
two was sent down to the steamer for
various passengers, but now the, flowers
almost literally come by the ton. Whv.
there are staterooms at times that are
simply banked on all sides with flowers
until there is barely space for the occupant
and a friend or two to enter, and an at
tendant has to work for an hour after the
vessel gets outside to make tno room
habitable. 1
"Now, take a man or a woman -who is
a poor sailor and subject him or her to
this- sort of "smothering In blooms and It
Is enough to almost destroy for a. life
time their love of flowers. It's getting
worse and worse, however, and I suppose
it win continue to 00 so, uniu prosperity
takes a tumblo."

FALL TRADE ON UP GRADE
GOOD qROP PROSPECTS ARE CAUS

High Prices t on All Farm Prodncts
.Pro'mlsc to Continue Rcview
of the Week.
NEW YORK. Ausr. 8. Bradstreet's to
morrow -will sayi.
Midsummer quiet has gone from distribu
tive trade, and stimulated by really bright
crop prospects and good prices for farm prod
ucts. Fall business has begun to expand. Buy
ers are arriving In large numbers at all rnar-
ets and next week promises to tee tho de
mand further Increased. Manufacturing In
dustry, which has been more than usually
active this Summer, continues well employed.
Failures are few and liabilities small, vrices
are steady. July railway earnings continue
to show 7 per cent gain over last year.
Advices from the boot and- shoe trade are
Irregular. Leather and hides are very active,
however, and skins of all kinds are taken as
fast as received.
The weight of Imported iron Is pressing on
domestic sentiment, though no perceptible ef
fect Is yet seen in. prices ror pigiron. wnicn
la still In active request for next year's de
livery. Hardware has had no dull season
this year, and business Is as active as ever.
Western machinery manufacturers aro report

Wheat, Including flour, exports for the weak
ending August 7. aggregate 2,244.303 ousneis.
against 4.37a53S bushels last week, and 8.831.

NEW YORK. Ausr. 8. R. G. Dun & Cos
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
Bright prospects In agricultural sections far
outweigh the adverse lnfluenco of labor dis
putes, which are still retarding traao nna
manufacture. Confidence in tho futuro is un
shaken, dealers everywhere preparing for
heavy Fall trade, while contracts for distant
deliveries run further Into next year than Is
usual at this date. Activity has been note
worthy In Jumber regions, and fish-packing
made new records Railway earnings aro
fully sustained, the latest returns showing an
average advance of 8.0 per cent over tho cor
responding time last year, end 21.8 per cent
over 1000.
Aside from tho fuel scarcity and some con
gestlon of trafllc.tjie Iron and steel situation
continues propitious.
Raw wool is fuly sustained at recent ad
vances, the average or 1W graaes snowing a.
gam of nearly a cent, as compared with tno
lever at May 1.
Splendid growing and harvesting conaitions
have prcvolled In most sections ot tno coun
try, eepeclajy where the larger and more im
portant crops are raised. It Is now almost
certain that the agricultural 'returns will be
far above tho average as to quantity, while
Jhe low stocks at the opening of the season
are caicuiatoa to sustain pneep, anu more 1
llttla prospect of a return to tho low quota

$50 a year. For several years some of
her buildings have not lost a dollar. Miss
Geary was the first and it? still almost
tho only woman to do that sort of thing
in this city:
"You see," she said, still contemplating
the sins of the engineer, "if the water la
not coming up hot enough or is so hot
that your pipes are bursting all over the
house, or If the tenants come In a proces
sion and threaten to leave because they
are freezing to death, or If the furnace Is
consuming two or three times as much
coal as It did. under the last man you had.
why, then, you know there's something
wrong with the engineer. In the days
when these things used to trouble me I
didn't understand furnaces will enough to
go down and teach the engineer his busi
ness. Nowadays I can tell when a man is
leaving his damper open and letting all
his coal go up the chimney.
So the engineer trouble Is long since
anlshcd. It belonged to my salad dayai
But the 'scrub lady' bless her heart! Is
always with us. One ot my greatest dif
ficulties Is to get the halls and stairs
properly cleaned. We have no desire to
save oh this point. "We are perfectly will
ing tp pay whatever Is necessary to have
It .well done. But there Is not a 6crub
woman In New York who will not clean
thrco flights of stairs In one pall of water,
thick as hasty pudding with - mud. We
furnish the soda and soap. All we ask Is
that they change tho water once or twice
during tho forenoon. But that is abso
lutely what they refuse to do. If I put an
advertisement in the paper I will have a
line of women a block long here after the
Job, and every one'of them will havo a
tale of woo about the exceeding number
and poverty of her children. Then If I
take her on she will wash down my stairs
In liquid mud. leaving long streaks of it
wherever her cloth has wiped.
"Then another trade I havo to know,"
continued illss Geary, refloctlvely, "Is
plumbing. When there Is a drain stopped
up I must toll the plumber what and
where the trouble is. What Is the plum
ber for? Well, he Is to fix the trouble
when he knows what t Is; but half the
time ha won't know what It Is unless you
tell him.
'As. essential thing Is to know the wages
received by all classes of employes car
penters, janitors, printers, clerks, mechan
ics of all kinds In order to know whether
they are capablo of paying the rent.
Sometimes people will take your rooms
when they are quite incapable of paying
the rent. When they tell you their occu
patlon you must know what wages they
are probably receiving. Then, again, you
must kntfw tho different sections of the
city and certain streets, and even certain
houses In them: and when you find that
an applicant for one of your flats comes
from there you know that you must be
very careful indeed."

Lady's Pictorial.
Somo attempt is being made to Intro
duce the betrothal bangle a plain, thick
circlet, which is solidly riveted upon the
llancee s arm, and can only be removed by
being sawed asunder. The. Idea Is very
charming, of course, to lovers in the
first flush of mutual adoration. But
these .days are days when engagements
are easily broken. Girls can wear rings
on any finger and they tell no tale: but
they could not wear bangles riveted on
their arms without confessing themselves
engaged.
