NKW YORK. Aug. 21. The dny's market
for stocks was practically ti duplication of
ycisterday'H except that tho tlnal reaction
on traders' prollt-taklng was rather mor
marked, with the result that the table rf
net changes Is moro mixed between small
gains and losses thun yesterday.
The prevailing tone of the market wns
firm to strong, up to the Irregulnr closing
on the rfnctlon. Thn character of the buy
ing made it very evident that it represented
the opinions ot professional traders ns to
future values rather thnn the convictions
of Investors. There wns some evidence also
of operations by pools formed by the larger
clnss of traders. What Influenced these
opinions was left to conjecture. There
was milte nn active demand for tho Wubash
securities, which lifted them at one tlmo
fllS.
There wan continued buying of the coal
ers, which was based on the showing dis
closed by tho Erie's annual report, whlolt
shows a substantial increase in gross enm
ities, notwithstanding u considerable falling
; off In the tonnuge transported, a demon-
(irauon oi ine greater siauiiiiy oi nuoi
maintained among the anthracite cnrrlera
by reason of the extension of community
of interest. The coming monthly ineroaso
of 10c on nnthraclto also counted.
Tho Erie stocks themselves sold orr on nc
count of some unexplained remarks of tho
chairman in ills report regarding tho ap
proach of n time when urrangemcuts for
new capital can be made. There was somo
continued buying from western sources cf
the graln-cnrrylng roads, which wns ap
parently for short account. Some revision
I pessimistic views regarding ine corn
rop seemed to be the cnuso of this cover
ing. The United States Steel stocks woro
utmost dormant nnd were merely steady.
These stocks have apparently arrived at a
tago where tney are uuanecien ny strixe
news. The sterling exchange mantel re
sumed Its downwnrd course again toduy
and offerings of bills ngnlnst grain export
were reported in increased supply, wltn n
snrinkllnc of cotton bills. Tho continued
easu of the London money mnrket nnd the
further drop In call loans mere toiiny to l
point gives ground for Home expectation
thnt the Hank of England rate will be re
duced tomorrow.
The railroad bond market was decidedly
moro nctlve today, but the tone was steady

SHEEP A half dozen fresh loads nnd n
few head carried over from yesterday mndo
up today's offerings in tho sheep division,
but conditions wero such that there was
little active demand from kilters. Eastern
markets reported another sham decline, in
prices nnd a weak feeling prevailed here on
both mutton sheep and lambs.
There Is some Innulrv for feeders, espe
cially feeder lambs, and the arrivals in that
lino have not been sufllclent to supply tho
demand at current prices.

BOSTON, Aug 2l-Tho American ool
nnd Cotton Reporter will sny tomorrow of
tho wool trnde: While the demnnil for wool
during the Inst week hns been quieter,
there hns, nevertheless, heo-11 moro than nn
nvcrngo business transacted and prices on
nil lines huve been fully maintained. The
demand has been widely distributed and It
has practically nil been for consumption,
thorn being no speculative tendency ob
servable ns yet. Thero Is a Ilrm undertone
to the mnrket nnd consumers who nttempt
to seciirn wools nt any concessions from
going prices do not succeed in securing
wool. Tho rank and lllo of them nre con
tent, however, to pny current rates, Thero
is no disposition on the part of holders ot
wool to force the mnrket they all have nil
they can conveniently attend to for n while
In shipping what they hnvo sold nnd nro
content to uwnlt developments. The bulk
of tho territory wool hns been purchased
outright nnd is In strong linnds. The situa
tion ns regards both wool nnd woolen goods
looks strung and healthy. Tho mills nro
nro llllcd with orders nnd thero Is no up
prehension of n wlilcsprcnd cancellation
movement. There Is n lnrge stock of wool
In Boston tills could hardly bo otherwise
In view of tho fact that the territorial clip
hits been practically nil bought outright
nnd the most of It shipped to Boston. But
with the largo consumption which It Is be
lieved will ilcvrlop between now nnd next
clip time, the trade feels thnt the bulk of
the supply hero will tic wanted. The sales
for thu week amount to 4,672,1)00 pounds do
mrsttc mid 620,000 pounds foreign, making
11 tntnl of 5,192.000 pounds, against a total ot
12,93j,(HX) pounds for the previous woek nnd
n totnl of 3,620,000 pounds for tho corre
sponding week last year. The receipts tn
Boston this week amount to 32,236 bnles.

hnvo been I34.SU bales and 9S.5SO bales for

098 bales foreign for tho corresponding
period of 1900. Tills is nn Incrcnsc of 173.536

A IIL'CIC RANCH.
Over Thirty Tliousniiil of the Ttlrds
In n SIiikIi Inelosuir.
"No zoo I ever s"-' ""i I - "
ns tho duck ranch I visited nt Rlverton,
Vn., Inst week," says Ju.uct i . i .. . i
tho AVashlngton Post. "Tlie propritnr
asked me to guess how many ducks wcri
In tho immense Holds and pens he showed
mo, nnd I promptly said 20,090,000. Ho in
sured mo thnt there were only 13.60).' All
nro of the Pekln breed, nnd nro pure white.
They nlo hatched from eggs laid by rid
ducks on tho farm, and nre fattened n-d
killed for market when 1 or 114 yearn o'd.
The methods of hatching, renrlng nnd fat
tening tho great numbers of birds are In
teresting, but tho remarkable feature of th
business Is tho economy of Its manage
ment. In the first place, there are mnnv
eggs placed In every Incubntor which W'H
not hatch n duck. Tn sevci or eight days
the mnnagcr can tell the ones which will
not hntch. He snld that n week In the In
cubator does not hurt them. When It 's
evident that they will not products a lvt
duck they nre taken out nnd are In shed
up. shells and nil, with meal of snmo kind
nnd mndo Into feed for the youns duc't
lings. "Every feather Is saved when tho ducks
nre plucked, and tho whole output sold to
a Boston Ilrm. The duck man's nnme Is
Morgan, nnd he Is n vers clever, shrewd
fellow. Ho said that on nccount of hi i
health ho had decided some years ago tn
rest for a year, nnd hatched out 150 ducks'
eggs. Just for amusement, with nn Incu
bator. Since then ho hns not returned to
his former business. Ho sells 40,000 durks
every yenr nt prices ranging from IB tn 40
cents n pound, and tho ducks will average
four pounds.
"In wet weather, to keen the ducks fr-m
becoming ill by taking In unhenlthy mntter
wltn tncir rood, the grnln nnd olher stuff
Is spread on top of gunny sacks laid on
hay. It Is, in consequence, nerfectly clean
when the ducks pick It up. He has no pond
on his plncn, only wldo troughs tilled with
running wnter, nnd In this the ducks swim
without damage to their plumage nr the
opportunity to find poisonous substnnces, in
mud."
