Mount Tamalpais—Clear, wind temperature, 68; maxi- NEW NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—There was nothing in the general situation either in the political or the business to account for a re- action In stocks to-da¥. The market was sim- worl which whether designed to do so or not, inevitably readjusts prices to the true basis of vdlue. Yesterday's heavy profit-taking on the part of some of the powerful interests who had been buying stocks in the confidence that they would advance in prices, led the way naturally to to-day’s demand. It became evi- dent at the opening that the strong support for the leaders had been withdrawn. In the Grangers even the outside buying, which has testing, 80 eagerly absorbed these stocks for some time | pest, showed a marked diminution. There were even selling orders in the commission houses for outside account, thus showing that a large part of the recent public interest has been for | speculative account. But the outside specu. lative public failed to show the aggressive con fidence in their holdings recently manifested by the powerful bull clique. Neither had they the combined resources at their command to come in and support stocks on the declining | market. The weakness of the hands Into which large amounts of the grangers had fallen was made evident by the heavy stop-loss or- ders which were uncovered by the decline of from 1% @I%¢ in the grangers at midday. But the torrent of offerings at the-low point fell to interests that were waiting and willing and which effected a substantial rally on compara- | tively generally light transactions. The railroad list time being to the strong upward movement which had set in on some of the low priced Southern and Western rallroad shares. The early weakness was accentuated by the persist- ent sagging of Manhattan, which has_fallen mbout 3 points on the day. Brooklyn Transit was also under severe pressure and Consoli- dated Gas and some of the other specialties suffered from withdrawal of support. The weakness of People's Gas and the subsequent strength probably reflected passing phases of efforts to adjust a business dispute, Metropolitan Street Rallway rose at one time without any news to account for the nt. and a number of other stocks gave evidence of special strength In the face of the general endency of the market. The day's net de- .es were mostly small but the greater part of ay’s business was done at prices material- than yesterday's closing. sposition to take profits was also man- in the bond market, where price were irreguler on a decreased volume Total sales, $3,415,000. ates new 4s and the old 4s, clined 3, and the old 4s, coupon, ad- i in the 'bid pric Total sales ¢ to-day were 535,200 shares, in 14,437 Atchison preferred, 16,197 Bur! 2,450 L. & N., 29,850 Man- tropolitan, 4550 Missour Pa- o Pacific, 9625 do preferred, 4500 Union Pacific, o Jnion 4755 Cotton OAl, 8230 Tobcco, 125 People’s Gas, 30,990 Con- 0 Lead, 33520 Sugar, 10,840 , 8900 Leathér pre- nion.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Wheat started firm at | about yesterday's closing figures, became easy | for a minute or 80 and then became compara- tively strong and kept on the rise for over an hour. At the end of that time September had | advanced to 62@%3%c, as compared with 63c bld the day before. December did follow September | at that time to the extent of Y4c, reaching | 62%4¢, when September was 63%c and going no | higher during the latter's further %c improve- ment. It was evident from that that the extra | strength In the nearer delivery proceeded from | | slight misgivings as to the suificiency of re- | | ceipts in the near future. Primary Western | market receipts amounted to 854,000 bushels, | against 973,000 bushels the same day last yea: Bradstreet’s reported the world's Visible “suj revious to that announcement it becnme‘ | known that a large business had been done | in spot wheat for prompt shipment. 200,000 bushels No. 2 red was disposed of at 4c a bushel In store here above September price. The cash business and Bradstreet's to- gether caused an advance in September to 63%c, but December stuck when it got as high as 62c on the last bul December closed %c higher at 63%c and December gained %c, closing at 62c. Reports of deterioration in condition of the crop from the extreme heat of the last two or three days strengthened corn. Beptember left off e up. Oats ru‘lod steady In sympathy with the other | grains. Beptember closed with a gain of 4c. “The strength in the grain market kept scalp- | ers in provisions from the selling side, and there was no pressure from other quarters.

The morning after the assassination of President Lincoln the telegraph opera tor of a small town in Ohlo regd a pass. ln¥ dispatch which conveyed tge BOTTOW- ful information to him.” This rapidly spread through the surrounding coun- try, and at 11 o'clock, when the mall train was due, nearly a hundred men had congregated to buy a morning paper. As a matter of course not a single pa- per remained, and all were in despair, until some one remembered that the postmaster was a regular subscriber, and that the mall bag must contain a morn- ing newspaper addressed to him. The coveted paper found, the opening of the mall was postponed, while the aged postmaster proceeded to read to the people who had crowded into the long store the details of the murder. In| the front rank of the little circle that had, by innate courtesy, been left before the reader, stood a very patriotic but ignorant old man, who was ever making | pertinent suggestions. The volce of the reader faltered more than once as he read the account, now so familiar to all Americans. Finally he reached the point where it was sald of Booth that he “shrieked out ‘Sic semper tyrannis,’ leaped on the stage and made his escape.” Throwing his old poke hat on the floor | the patriotic old man lifted his hand aloft and shouted: “Good graclous! Why didn’t somebody | have sense enopgh to stop the stage?” Chicago Chronicle. THE CALL CALENDAR.
