INDUSTRIAL CENTEWS,

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Auff. 10. The stock market continued the downward trend without the fcembhmco of strength at any time. Now low records were established for thu entire lift. Union Pacific sold off from 131 to 12til,fe; Heading from 91 to 90; Copper from TfiVi to 74 mid Sm-lters from 101 t, Ox. Tli.ro was nothing particularly bearish in tho way of news. The selling .'-(fiii.d t' emanate from the farao tonne us during thu past few days. Standard Oil interests K;cra determined to bring about a panic whether it is ji.ptifi.-d or not. The general prosperity throughout the country is not reflected in the prices of stocks upon the stock fSfhanci'. Tbo teb:gr? pliers strike has helped the bearish feelinjy along. Sentiment on the fetr.-.-t is so pronouncedly pessimistic that there is a mere posibllity that stocks are dragging close to the bottom. F.argiiin hunters are In the market. With St. Paul selling at 122 and paying 7 per cent; Union Pacific at 127 and paying 10 per cent these stocks certainly look like a splendid Investment. : Those that can afford it are buying these high dividend paying stocks and taking them out of the market. This may not have any effect at present but ultimately it will be felt when the general situation clears up. The bank statement was about as disappointing documents as has been Issued in some time. Its effect on the market caused a sharp decline during th. last half hour of the session. The closing pres were almost the lowest of the day. 'HEW yOF.il STOCK tsMET

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, Aug. 10. WHEAT Scored a new low record, the September option soiling at S7 cents. Tills represents a decline of almost fifteen cents a bushel from tho high prices recorded on the present crop. It is usually the case wl.cn the trade becomes a unit that there vmII not be enough wheat to isO around and acting upon that opinion boost prices to mieh an unheard of leel somebody uisc crs that tnia is a very largo country. Never in the history of tli country lias there beeu a total inlluro of the wheat crop. Despite tho jrrern bugs, hessian hies, cir.ch bugs, black and red rust and other pests Um numerous to mention, tills country will raise in the neigh borhood of seven hundred millions of 1 . - A - I - Iar t winter wneai wnieu ient to go around. wilt be suill Th-i general tieup of the telegraph facilities in this city has prevented a wid.: selling market. September wheat had a range of only one cent for the day, telling at SS and closing at 7S 1-S. I've news i'.x a general way was bullish but it ltek-'d influential buying. F orei-jn markets were quoted one-half penny higher. Tho receipts of r.ew wheat not .is large ns expected while tho news from the northwest reported unseasonable weather retarding the growing plant.

Whoever is In charge of the forces has done his work well. bear Rally may extend little further then expect to see market sag off. but Minneapolis, St. Taul & S. S. Marie Fourth week, July, $304,643; decrease, $17,200. For month, $1,103,159; increase $103,813. Foreign markets are very unsettled and there is no confidence. Prices may rally, but would sell on favorable opportunity. The selling of Canadian Pacific is by London on account of tho passing of dividend on third preferred stock of the Grand Trunk Pacific. There was good buying of St. Paul, Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, and any one who buys these stocks at this level will make profits, but people should sell on good advances. Market Is subject to drives by bears but shows excellent resistence. Buying of much better class than selling. Think well of buying Union Pacific, Southern Tacific, A. C. P., and Steel. The general market fluctuated within one to one and one-half per cent of last night's close and the decided weekness of the Interboro Metropolitan issues i.ad -very little influence upon the list in general. Toledo St. Louis and Western for June, gross, $377,177; Increase, $31,266. Net, $161,276; increase, $59,562. For twelve months, gross, $4,181,965; decrease $23,0S6. Net, $1,260,993; increase $197,559. We think stocks have had their break, and expect steady Improvement from now on. There will be an August rise after all, though it is starting from a much lower level than we thought probable. After the government's announcement of the condition of the cereal crops, the market steadied again and prices, with the exception of Canadian Pacific and Interboro issues, were near last night's close. Strength In London this morning is undoubtedly due to buying from this side notwithstanding the rally of yesterday there is still a large short interest and believe rally should go from three to five points further. The market did not show the rallying power as was expected last night, unquestionably due to the selling of securities for foreign account, especially by London, who were heavy sellers of Canadian, owing to tho passing of the dividend on the Grand Trunk third preferred issue. Some hope Is expressed that the market may show d better tone today as a result of a compromise between tho state and railway officials in Alabama, the details of which make it apparent that the railway has accepted the state laws, pending decision by final tribunals, namely, the supreme court of the United States. Meantime, foreign markets appear disturbed at the turn events have taken In America, C. H. WANZER STOCK AND BOND BROKER. Stocks Carried on 3 to 5 Point Mai-fin.

more seriously than ever before, and developments in the money markets yesterday were disquieting, though financial reviews allude to It as temporary.

Certainly both call and time money rates are harder at a time when stock market liquidation would logically have brought aboH a different result. Good scale down orders were noted in yesterday's trading and before the close, what looked for a definite turn for the better, was i! Progress. Now York Central lines s oment shows Kuhstantial lmproveme ,t over last year and the previous quarter. Today's market could, for many reasons show a ueiter range oi values, and we expect no further serious liquidation in the railway list, but it Is perfectlv safe to say larger banking and speculative interests will await developments be fore giving the market more support than is necessary for their own protec tion. LAW ABOUT SPOOKS. Illegal to Shoot Them in EnglandOther Court Killings. Lawsuits about alleged ghosts, of a nature similar to the one which was threshed out the other day before Mr. Justice Grantham, are far from uncommon. Indeed, there is quite a little library of books relating to the subject, all of them full of musty, fusty precedents, and each and every one of them bound in. that peculiar, underdone pie-crust colored material known to booksellers as law calf. From these books one may learn many things about ghosts, and the proper way to treat them. It is, for instance, illegal to belabor a "ghost" after it has cried out that it is not a ghost; while a man who goes gun-hunting after an alleged ghost, and shoots and kills a human being who is masquerading in spook attire, is guilty of murder. You may not summarily give up possession of a house of which you are tenant, simply because you believe it to be haunted, nor yet even if it be currently alleged and reputed to be haunted. But, on the other hand, damages have been recovered against a landlord who let a notoriously spook-infested dwelling to a tenant without first informing him of its evil reputation. A father has, too, obtained a verdict against a schoolmaster whose school was haunted by a ghost which frightened Lis boy into fits, and it has been held to be illegal to shut up a prisoner in a reputedly haunted jail. Once a woman sought a judicial separation from her spouse on the ground that he was in league with a familiar spirit, wh;ch haunted his bedroom by night and his study by day. But her petition was refused, the judge remarking that she had taken her husband for worse as well as for better, and that she might as well ask to be relieved of him because he had developed a wart on his nose a3 a sprite at his elbow. Pearson's Weekly. THAT RARE ANIMAL, MAN. Seldom Caught Before 8 O'Clock London, Never in Day Time. in Time was when London was one of the capitals where man could be dis cerned with the naked eye in the daytime; but now he is almost invisible except at certain favored spots in the city and a few eclectic clubs at Pall Mall. inere was a period considerably later than the stone age, when thi interesting but rare creature was to be observed, feeding quite tamely, at literary and political breakfasts. Latei on, he was still to be enticed by fair hands to lunch parties, and was some times iound hovering near the teatable of some beautiful and expert tamer between five and seven. But with the new century this rare creature's habits have altered most completely, for he is seldom to be caught before eight p. m. on week days, and has a habit, moreover, of retiring to remote haunts and ob scure thickets from Friday night til Monday afternoon. it has been observed that the younger and best bred specimens ex niDit a curious dislike both to the immature and elderly females of their kind, but have been known to show marked animation when enticed by a young and comely matron, and will, on these occasions, approach without fear, and even feed out of her hand.

Concrete Lighthouse. By the use of concrete a tall light house was constructed in a short pe riod of time at the Point de la Coubre at the mouth of the Gironde river, in France. The building is 225 feet high and about So feet in diameter at the base. It was finished in nine months after the beginning cf the work, and cost $&O,C00. The haste was due to the I&ct that the sea threatened to w&si. s.waj thg old structure.

Lionel Barrymore played on the stage with Sir Henry the night of his death and he told of the last moments of England's greatest actor as fol lows: "I noticed," said the actor, "that the little child who played Geoffrey that night had too much red on his cheeks, and I said to myself that as soon as the curtain fell on the act I would speak to the child about it. I was crossing the stage to overtake the little one and make the correction in his makeup when I heard Irving, who wa3 walking In before me, say, Leo, you've got too much red on your face.' That was 45 minutes before he breathed his last, and, as I afterward learned from the doctors, he was literally dying all through the performance."
