I AT EST iVlO VEIVIEIVTS I IV INDUSTRIAL CENTERS,
BY EXCLUSIVE WIRE TO THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES
KEW YOEK LETTER.
I
NVw York, July 31. Storks suffered another sharp dc-elin- today. The averago declines throughout the list will r.'inge from about three; point in t h j industrials to two and one half in the higher railroad shares. The pessimistic feeling which Pervades the street is about tin' chief cause ot th; bn-iik in the market although the ii"ws wan bearish in tin- extreme. The l'nlte.1 States Steel report which was given to the public late yesterday aft. -moon was the u 1 1 -absorb i n g topic. It reflects a general restriction in tin; amount of new business although t!"' imiilleil orders upon th- books of the. company are about on a parity with the corresponding p.-riod a year ago. Ste.-l common and preferred were offered in round lots throughout the day, the final cloning iigures representing: a point and one half decline in the common and about it point in the preferred shares. Conner and Smelters were the other
two weak features in the industrial column. The former declined from SS to 5 3-K; the latter from lllVz to 1124It is generally known in well posted circles that the metal situation is held in a strained condition by the larger copper producers. . sharp decline in the price of cupper metal to well under twenty cents per pound may be expected any day. Tt is also hinted that the independent concerns are underselling the. Amalgamated copper company in the open market. Certain interests have, circulated rumors to the effect that Southern Pacific would not increase, its dividend tomorrow. This, however, was Riven little credence as it is hi lieved Mr. Ilarrimnn will -place the stock upon a six per cent, basis. Nevertheless, the shares were hammered down from 01 to XSVi. closing- at the lowest prices of the. day. It is pointed out by some very shrewd traders that August is invariably a hull month in the stock market. If history repeats itself, stocks should have a fplendid rise from the sharp reaction of today. Some influential interests talk encouragingly as to future conditions, hut as yet they have not become strongly committed upon the bull side of the market anil have not begun aggressive operations toward a higher range of values. At the close tonight the general market records an average decline of over two points throughout the active list.

Cash sales 20.00a, seaboard 10 loads. CORN was quite, dull most of the day and prices within narrow limits. Snow report indicated a crop of 2.S50,0(10,000 although he claimed that the condition was two points lower than on July 1st. This view was not shared by the trade at large. Shipping demand was very poor, some of recent eastern buyers trying to resell here. Weather favorable for the crop. Cash sales 85,000. More business was done in oats than any othcr product on the floor. ' An enormous trade prevailed throughout the session and renewed buying by the same interests that have been buying

Buying of Harriman stocks at the close was far better than the selling. I look to see quite a rally in the market today in Union, Southern Pacific, M. K. & T., Atchison and Reading.
Quite a few traders are selling short. The best advices we can get after the close, is that Fnion Pacific will be held above 14 3. Southern Pacific above 89 and that the market is a purchase.
You can make more money in Reading, and make it quicker than any stock that is quoted; it is not in the market for any more money, bonds or an increase in stock; the dull season in the coal business is over. I am told Reading will sell at 120 in sixty days. Hess.
The buying at the close yesterday afternoon in Southern and Union Pacific was very good. The meeting of
the directors on Thursday will increase the dividend on Southern to 6 per cent, the company is earning over 13 per

tin development of unfavorpble foreign news in the shape of a decline in Consols and reports of difficulty on the part of the Rank of England in securing gold, the market broke rather sharply and developed a weak undertone. An engagement of $500,000 in gold for Paris was announnced and the grain and cotton markets were strong.
Today's developments abroad make it clear that French bankers regard gold
reserves as insufficient for demands of
safety, and the shipment of 500,000
pounds from London to Vienna may have the same meaning as applied to that
part of continental Europe. Tb,e en
gagement from New York of $500, uOO is a small beginning, but commercial
sterling from at least three sources cannot prove in fully supply this fall by reason of the much reduced demand
for metals, the extreme lateness of the cotton crop and high prices for grain which will restrict exports to the ex
treme necessities of Europe. e are
inclined to look for some heaviness in
the security list under exisiting con ditions in the near future.
BOTH OF THEM SATISFIED.

me hear what you have to saw" The
book agent began at once. "Every
student of literature knows." he said
that Anthony Trollope was one of
England's great novelists. It is true
perhaps, that he wrote for a limited

Sunny Sheffield The protest made the other day in our columns against the practice adopted in some London journals of libeling Sheffield on account of its smoke might have gone considerably further. Not only do the returns show that Sheffield is the "Sunny South," so to speak, compared with the metropolis, but eminent men who live in London are in despair over the state of the atmosphere in the latter city. Sheffield - (England) Daily Telegraph.
The creation of the tribal epic was to some extent regarded as a tribal work, like the building of the tribal temple. Believe, then, if you will, that the prologue of Job and the epilogue and the speech of Elihu are things inserted after the original work was composed. But do not suppose that such insertions have that obvious and spurious character which would belong to any insertions in a modern individualistic book. Do not regard the insertions as you would regard a chapter In George . Meredith which you afterwards found had not been written by George Meredith, or half a scene in Ibsen which you found had been cunningly sneaked in by Mr. William Archer. Remember that this old world, which made these old
poems like the Iliad and Job, always kept the tradition of what it was making. A man could almost leave a poem to his son to be finished as he would have finished it, just as a man could leave a field to his son to bo reaped as he would have reaped it What is called Homeric unity may be a fact or not. The Iliad may have been written by one man. It may have been written by a hundred men. But let us remember that there wa3 more unity in those times In a hundred men than there is unity now ia one man. Then a city was like one man. Now one man is like a city in. civil war. G. K. Chesterton in Putnam's.
