Aug. &—The volume of business during the short session of the Stock Ex- change to-day was by no means large, still at in- tervals the depression was quite pronounced. At the opening the market was adversely affected by lower cables from London aud the active list fell about 1 per cent.- The decline induced extensive purchas. y of 14@2%4 per cent followed. Sugar led the advance, selling up from 96 to 9814, provement in the general list ranged from 33 to 234 per cent and was well distributed. etore the explration of the first hour, however. theselling was renewed O a heavy scale; the galns previously noted were not only wiped out, but some of the standard stocks sustained severe Iosses. The seiling pressure was as pronounced sfter the publication of the bank statement. The statement showed a_contraction in loans and an enormous loss in legal tenders. The reduction in the surplus reserve to_below $14,000,000 encour- | sged the belief that raies for money will rule higher in the immediate future. This, of course, wiil operate against the bulls og stocks. In the Inst Dour of business Sugar, Manhattan, Chicago Gas, the Grangers, Louisville and Nash- | ville and Westera Unioa were particalarly promi- | nent.

Presided Over by a Librarian Who Speaks No Language but His Own. ‘We found a charming old Turkish librs rian, speaking no language but his own, but proud of and devoted to the books un- der his care. He had six or eight intelli- gent assistants. We were soon seated at a table, a carefully prepared and very full catalogue before us, and our friend, Sadik Bey, at hand as interpreter. It was touch- ing to see the genuine anxiety of the old librarian to find any book my husband wished to see, und he was ably seconded by his assistants. They first brought us some en}nmu Persian manuseripts, beau- tiinlly illuminated and bound; and when we made them understand that my hus- band would like to see any books in the library from India, they eagerly produced: all they had, but they proved to be chiefl modern works on music. After they hiz brought us some fine manuscripts of the Koran with glosses and commentaries, they asked us to walk about and examine the general contents of the building. The bookcases were of the best con: struction, with movable shelves, and at one end we found a very gocd collection of English, French and 'man classics. The center of the room was oecupied by lass cases filled with gorgeously bound, ilustrated works,. ¢ iiefly gifts to the Sul- tan, While my husband, with the aid of Sadik Bey, was_ talking to the old libra- rian, the assistants showed my son and me some fine photographs of gl-ou in the Sultan’s domains and of public build- ings in Stamboul. .
