HE KEPT HIS WORD THE STOCK MARKET. A Quiet Week Crop Uncertainties De ' ter Speculations. New York, Sept. 24. The week's stock market has been halting and re actionary with occasional rallies. PoubtsPhaYe assailed speculative hold ers as to the warrant for the rise which occurred. Small credence is at tached to many of the rumors in cir culation which have awakened suspi cion of the price movements which ac companied them. Recurrent fears of crop damage from threatened frosts and the rather drastic revision of pre vious crop estimates have had a de pressing effect.

Canal Commissioner Sayt Less Mn Are Needed Than Supposed. . "Washington, Sept. 24. Colonef B. M Harrod, one of the Panama cana, com missioners, is of the opinion that the great waterway connecting the Atlan tic and Pacific oceans will be completed and thrown open to traffic within five years. The Culebra cut, he acknowl edged, was the greatest obstacle In the path of the canal engineers, but work on that, he said, was progressing fa vorably, and Its difficulties would be aurmounted. The plans for .the entire canal are now being prepared, and as Boon as they are completed work will be pushed. Colonel Harrod thinks It will not be necessary to employ such a large force of workmen as has been suggested, no matter on what scale the operations are conducted. The reason for this is the more extensive use of labor-saving ma chlnery than under French manage ment Not more than 5000 men' will in his opinion, be necessary at any one time. Only about 700 Jamaica negroes and native Panamans are now at work, principally on the great cut at Cule bra, but even with the French ma chinery, more Is accomplished and at less cost than under the old engineers. With the modern American machin ery, especially the great steam shovels, which have already been ordered, the unit cost will be smaller, and the prog ress more rapid. Colonel Harrod thinks there will be no inducement for negroes to go from the United States, as there will be no demand for them, and the wages paid are not high, considering the cost of living. Cornelius Vanderbilt Does Not Want to Be Congressman. New York, Sept. 24.

George E. Roberts, director of the United States mint, who has been In vestigating the gold dust output of Alaska for the past nine weeks, has returned to Washington. He reported that mining at Nome is unusually quiet. Luck of activity is due to the limited water supply of the present year.
