N1JW YORK , July 30 ( Special. ) Henry
Clous , head of the banking house of Henry
Clews & Co. , writes :
The stock market Is npparently taking Its
usual summer rest ; and more nf the promt *
Hint leaders arc absent on vacations than
Is general , presumably enjoying the profits
of the last bull campaign ami waiting do-
\cloptnents before Inaugurating another.
What the future of the market vvlir bo dur
ing tha next six weeks Is not easy to deter-
Jnlne Oenerally speaking , the conditions
nro highly favorable to an advance ; but nny
forward movement Is likely to be held more
or less In check by apprehensions concernIng -
Ing the money market. Our bank rceervcs
arc low , and an active demand for money Is
expected very noon to meet crop and trade
requirements ; BO that bororwcrs generally
teem unable to forecast the future with rear
confidence. A llttlo timidity on this score
will do no harm ; for the creation of a bull
movement at this tlmo would probably pre-
Upltato im tindcslrnblo twist In the money ,
market. Should the speculation , however ,
bo kept within moderate bounds we see no
reason for alarm about the money mmUt.
Klrmer rates arc both probabfe and desira
ble , being n natural Hcqticnce of prosperous
times. A good demand Is likely for crop
purposes ; but It should be remembered that
every year , the west becomes less dependent
upon the cast on this account. A brisk de
mand for commercial paper seems probable
owing to trade activity , but here too there
arc offsets from thu facts that merchants
have better resources than ordinarily , nnd
the big trusts which generally carry heavy
cash balances wlir supplant largo quantities
of commercial paper that formerly came
upon the market. Added to these offsets are
the facts that very considerable amounts of
time loans will mature In August and Sep
tember , nnd any sharp rise In money rates
would probably hasten gold Imports from
liiiropc. Nevertheless , the money market
wlir not bo n bull factor for some tlmo tc
come.
Scnrcltj- 1'nper Currency.
Indications point to n scarcity of papei
currency during the autumn months. As
currency reform is still a question of tin
future , it is Imperative that the Trt-asurj
department take some steps for relief. OIK
of the best and moat practicable methods
would be the Issue of gold certificates. Pec
rotary Oago cannot afford to bo over-
scrupulous about the limits ot his authority
When Secretary Carlisle doubted his rlghl
to Issue gold certificates the reserve was be
low the $100,000,000 limit. Now the gold 10-
serve Is at about Its maximum , over $210-
000,000 , and increasing dally , no that vvhal
might ha\o been prudent in the ono case
becomes Injurious timidity In the other. Mr
Gage , however , is n practical financier ol
high reputation ; nnd It Is hardly likely thai
ho will ilermlt minor technicalities to prevent -
' vent his making our present financial system
work as well as possible. Some reflet may
be afforded by an Increase of bank circula
tion , but this Is problematical while present
restrictions remain.
The general business situation Is highly
promising. Nearly all the principal indus
tries arc actively employed , and the Iron
trade is experiencing n boom beyond nil
precedent. An extraordinary fact Is the
comparntlvo absence of speculation Out
mills arc crowded with orders for goods that
are wanted for actual consumption ; and for
once In history at least the speculator has
failed to anticipate future wants. Another
striking feature Is the uniform belief that
we are to have one or two years of prosper
ity lllio the present with little interruption.
The worfd , nnd especially the United Stales ,
Is recovering several years of retarded
growth with a rush. In about a year , however -
over , production will have partially caught
ui > with' consumption , nnd we may then tx-
jiect some abatement of activity. The
numerous advances In wages , and the start
ing of now enterprises , will sufl\ce to carry
us along for a considerable period. Crop
prospects are not unfavorable. There is
every likelihood of our having an average
nmount of wheat for home and foreign con
sumption , with piospccts oj a good demand
on the latter account. Corn promises well
Hull road earnings show -very handsome
gains. The grangers are carrying cnor-
moin quantities of grain , and the gicat ro-
Alval In Industilil nnd commercial activity
materially swells their revenue. The
political future contains many perplevlnp :
questions ; hut they are not of a sort tl > at
wlir Borlouslv affect business The next se -
slon of congress will ho viewed with much
ICPB concern than its prcdecessois , not the
least because both paitlw will avoid giving
offense ptovlous to a piosldentinl election

What activity * there was In the market
during the week was principally In the
southwestern pioportles , most of which
scored a considerable advance , duo largcty
to thp fact that the corn ciop bids fall fo be
the largest on rccoid , besides which most ol
those stocks ha\e not had nn advance In
keeping with the prominent dividend payers
Other than this the movement of the gen
eral market was nnriovv and icactlonary.
The hlgheht rates for money and thu ab
senteeism of most of the prominent operators
for the dullness
ors worn the principal reasons
ness prevailing The group of Industrial
properties in most Instances was not only
very weak but many of them scored con
spicuously-lower quotations. Sugar nnd to-
foacco , however , took n contrary courao and
wore quite active and strong. The break in
the rate of foiulgn exchange yesterday la
an exceedingly favorable feature , as it
will have an important Influence on the
money market ; besides It denotes a dimin
ished monuy strain by the Dank of Unglan 1.
i.istbound shipments this vveok.vero
120,000 tons , as against 17.000 tons for the
corresponding week of last year. This In
what is backing the stock market , as It In
n most potential legitimate factor nn the
bull hide ; It is this kind of prosperity
vvhleh makes the vocation of the boars on
railroad uluuoH an unprofitable occupation at
the present tlmo ,

CATTLE There were about fourteen loads
of fat cattle on sale today , which was not
enough to really make a market , and It Is
hard work to say whether prices were
higher or lower. One thing that can bo
said without chance of being disputed is
that the trade was In about the same con
dition as usual on a Saturday that Is , buy
ers were on easy street , not being compelled
to buy the cattle , and hence they could bo
indifferent. If they could get the cattle
their way they wanted them. If not they
were content to wait until Monday. Sat
urday's market Is usually an uncertain
quantity , nnd It was especially so today ,
The tattle market as a whole has been In
very good condition all the week. Local
packers have been active buyers of corn-
fed steels and prices have had an upward
tendency , the gain for the week being lOip
20c. The quality of the cattle at the same
tlmo has averaged good , so that a very
large proportion of the arrivals of beef
steers brought $5 and better , with quite a
number of loads going at $5.50-85 65 , and ono
load at $5.80. Good dry lot cows and heifers
were sc-m-o nil the week , but good sellers ,
with prices steady or possibly a llttlo
stronger , In sympathy with the advance on
cornfed steers. Good grass cows were just
about steady , but common kinds have eased
off during the week. Good cornfed bulls
were good sellers , ' all the week , but common
and oven medium kinds were easier. Dur
ing the early part of the week feeders were
loner , but after Thuisday's rain the market
litmed up and closed stionger for the week.
The demand was principally for good lleshy
feeders weighing 1,000 to 1,100 pounds. Light
stock cattle. If choice , old fairly well , but
they wcro not In so good demand an the
heavier c-.ittle.
HOGS The market opened this morning
Just about stcndj with jeitetday. Some
choice Initeher weights and choice light
"old to th fresh meat trade at Jl.S'Vi'fft ' 40
with good medium weights at $433. The
dumuiul at these prices , however , was
limited and packers were offeringonlv
J4 30fM JH'i for the general run of the hogs
right from th > start Moreover the > did
not appear very anxlou * for hogs at thoes
prices , It being the last d ly of the week
hellers seemed to want. If anything , a llttlo
stronger prices than yestordav and the In
difference of packers and firm feeling
among salesmen combined to render the
market very slow and dr.ifrcy from start
to llnlsh It was after midday before a
clearance , was effected. The late sales
were laigely at $1..M > for heavv hogs , with
a few loads of the less desirable at $4 2"i
'
The market as a whole was not much'dlf-
feient from yesteidav.
Tim market this vveok on hogs has not
been satlsfactorv to anyon' foi tha reason
that there has boon a constant strife be
tween buyei.s nnd wlleis. The heaviest
packers have evidently been on the bear
sldo all the week and have been trying to
force the market down , hut It has been
hard work. Sellers have bf > 3n very bullish
anrt have held on for strong- pro ! = s , so that
nfter pounding the whole neck the mniket
at the close Is not quite 5e low-tr than It
vvo-s the llrst dij. liufnct , the market nt
the close of thr week was only a very llttlo
easier than It wa at the close , of the
previous week. The countiy seems to
nave como to the conclusion that thu mar
ket Is not going any lower and the disposi
tion seems to bo to hold back the hogs
every tlmo the market breaks.
SI IKK I' Receipts today conUsted of four

that sold heio > esterday at { 3.90 , and tliev
brought the Hiuno prlco Today About ail
that could be wild of the mnrkot In that It
was flteadv. with the demand fair.
It will be noted from the table of re
ceipts that the anlvals the last week were
about the tame as the week bofoie , but
not bo largo as two weeks ngo , Very
llttlo ( hinge has taken place In the market
during the lust few days , In fact values are
nlxnit where thi-j were a week ago The
demand on the part of local packers fur
g-ooil mutton grades Is fairly active and
arrivals as a rule have met with ready sale
at prevailing prices.
So far there has not been much done with
fefdliifr sheep Orders for that kind are
commencing to arrive and it Is claimed that
there are quite a good many on Ille , but
as a rule they call foi stock nt prices
somewhat lower than the present ruling
prices In other words there IB n demand
for feeding sheep , but buyers' Ideua are
not quite up to the prevailing market

"What's the news ? " I asked the pro
prietor of nn old jewelry house which has
done un immense mall order and calalogm
liuslnesH for about forty-five years. 01
course I meant ncwM In Jewelry , reports the
New York Herald.
"There's a big revival of religion golnt
on up in New Hampshire and down In Louis
iana , " ho answered gleefully , "and I air
the gainer. "
"How's that ? " I asked astonished.
"Why I got two letters last week Just twc
dajs apart , and hero they are , " as ho pro
duced them , triumphantly. "Nothing else
could powalbly account for the sudden spanni
of honesty which seems to have taken hold
of these two ladles nfter long silence. "
And here they are :
"Gentleman : Some two jears ago I or
dcrcd a dozen dessert forks at your house
which arrived all right , but In tbo bottom
of the packing box was a solid silver dlnnei
fork which I see by jour catalogue is quoted
at thirty-six dollars a dozen , I therefore enclose -
close money order for $3 and hope it will
reach you safely. Yours very truly ,
"MIIS. .
"Concord , N. H. , March 3 , 1899. "
The Louisiana letter came two daya latei
and read-
"Gentlemen : A Jong tlmo ago I ordered
from your house a hat brush with sliver
back which was $1.50. Several days after 1
received It I received a duplicate , which 1
decided to keep. I now send you the money
( or the second brush , $1.50 , and hope ) oti
will pardon my delay In notifying you , as I
regret It exceedingly and hope you wllf re
ceive Jt all right. Yours sincerely ,
"MUS. . "
"Note , " he said , "that In both Instances
the goods were received a long tlmo ago ,
and It has been on their consclencci ) all the
time , and they couldn't stand It any longer.
There must be revivals In both places. "
Mutter of Cliitlicn.
The Lay Figure thought It curious that
woman , generally speaking , has no com
plete understanding of the right of suffrage.
"For It would seem , " ho observed , In
hat connection , "that a person who can
understand a dress pattern ought to be
able to understand anything "
"If bhe were to bo clothed with this right ,
t might bo different , " suggested the Un
conscious Imbecile.
Of course none of the other * had the
heart to pursue the subject further.

( Copyright , 1503 , by Associated I'ress )
BERLIN , July 30. The papers this wee
have been giving their \crdicts on the out
come of the peace conference nt The Hague
The tone of the comment of the paper
friendly to the conference Is one of dlsnp
rolntlncnt that so llttlo was accomplished
whllo th ese opposing It Indulged In glcofu
felicitations that no more was accomplished
The Tngcblatt considers that the form o
arbitration adopted marks an Important stc
toward securing the peace of the world , all *
mlds : "Whoever knows the toilsome way li
which progress ot International law Is mad
will bo satisfied with thla result. "
The Post says : "Tho result shown tha
those who had been neither too optimist )
nor too pessimistic In expectations wcro litho
the right. "
The most Important result the Post etc
Is that a method Is now open to nations fo
settling difficulties , saying : "While the con
fcrrjtico has not ushered In the millennium
still it shows that the powers nre earnest ! ;
striving to preserve for the people the bless
Ings of peace. "
The national-liberal noursen-Zcltung call
the final protocol n funeral oration , and saji
the results equal zero.
The Krcu/o Xeltung , referring to thi
United States nnd Hngland , says : "Tho na
tlons that boast loudest of their humanlt ;
m ml o the stoutest resistance to really hu
mnnltnrlan proposals. "
The Kreu7o Zcltung further points ou
that while England and the United State ;
stood together in opposing the prohlbltioi
of bombs filled with noxious gases , thi
United States backed up England's refusa
to abandon dumdum bullets ,
' "The plntonlc declaration of the confer'
enco for the principles of the czar's proda
matlon , " the Kreuzo Zeltung continues , "hi'
troduces absolutely no change In existing
conditions. "
The agrarian Deutsche Tages Zcitunt
makes merry ov'er the friends of pence
whoso cherished hopes are far from beinf
realized. The socialist Voerwaerts gives tin
conference a parting shot , calling It a com
edy. "The hardest work of the members , '
this Journal says , "was to refrain froit
laughing In each others faces at their owr
insincerity. "
Aronn thp Center of Klre.
The press of Berlin devotes much attentloi
to the Arons case. Dr. Arons is a profcssoi
who lectured on physics in Berlin unlversitj
and also a social democrat , whoso presence
In the university had given great offense
to all favorable to drastic measures for com.
bating socialism. The diet passed a law o
jcar ago , called by the press the Arons law
making it possible for the government tt
proceed against nnd dismlsa socialist pro
fessors. Under this law the phllosophlca' '
faculty a week ago tried Prof. Arons am
unanimously declared that they saw no rea
son to take action. The state's attorncj
appealed the case to the ministry , who , It is
regarded certain , will dismiss Prof. Arons.
The papers of all parties discuss the cas <
at great length. The Pan-Germanic Deutsche
Zcltung says the faculty of Berlin univer
sity has shown the same capacity for con
sideration of state affairs that was showc
by some professors in treating the Danish
question last year. The Kreuzo Zeltung reproaches
preaches the faculty with holding that social
democrats should bo treated on an equal
footing with other parties and confirms the
comments on the action of the conservatives
as follows ; "It Is Impossible to treat n
party that declares war on the state and the
existing social order as having the same
political rights as other parties. "
The liberal papers side with the faculty ,
holding that their decision was the only
one consistent with the freedom of univer
sity Instruction. The centrist press defends
the facutty on the ground that Prof. Arons ,
as professor of phjslcs , does not handle the
question of socialism In his lectures
It Is observed that since the president ol
the Reichstag has permitted discussion of
the emperor's utterances If they are printed
In the Official Hclchanzeiger the kaiser's
telegrams no longer appear In that paper ,
but In the poml-offlclal Nerd Deutsche All-
gemelno Zeltung.

A Wcstphallan paper reports that negotia
tions have been proceeding between Paris
and Berlin the last ten days preparatory
to the \lslt of the emperor to Cherbourg
and Brest on his return from Norway. Noth
ing apparently Is known of such plans In
Berlin , where prepaiations are being made
for the arrival ot the entire imperial family
at Wllhelmshohe next week.

The Solingen Chamber of Commerce re
ports that exports from that district to the
United States have fallen off 40 per ecnt
us the result of the Dlngley tariff. The
Dresden Chamber of Commerce complains
loudly of American competition , especially
In manufactured articles and says the suc-
ress of the Americans Is due to the cxtraor-
illnarv activity of the United States consuls
find to the Immense capital of American
manufacturing companies , permitting the
greatest possible division of labor nnd
specialisation , enabling them to produce
cheaper in spite of higher wages. The re-
nort admits that Americans sell at low , even
cut-throat prices , but explains this by the
assertion that high duty enables manufac
turers to sell for high prices at home while
they dispose of their surplus abroad at the
lowest figure.
The failing off of exports to the United
States leads to the view that exportation
will ceaeo entirely and It will be neces
sary for Gorman manufacturers to fulld
branches In the United States.

Xovr nnil I'nlnli-fiM "VVny Jnpniirnc Con

The Japanese government Is striving t (
discover a new and more modern mode foi
the execution ot Its convicted criminals. I
lias laid aside the idea of execution by clcc
trlclty as it is now practiced In Amerlc :
and Is considering an entirely new nnd 1m-
Droved method of execution , relates the New
York Herald. It is quick , painless , quiet am
leaceful. The Japanese consider It ever
'ar ( better than the most modern mode , thai
of electricity , Inasmuch as it does not harn :
: ho appearance of the body In the le.iat
whereas electricity when not applied to ex
actly the proper degree scorches , burns and
shrivels the skin of the victim.
The "death" or "vacuum" chamber , as II
s to bo known , is to be nn airtight cell
jullt in or adjoining the prison. It la tc
10 eight feet In height , ten feet wide anil
ten feet long. The four sides are to have
each an airtight window of three-quarter
nch plate glass , so that the operators ,
prison and other ofllclals may have an op-
> ortunlty to witness the execution and de-
ermine the results.
The cell will be connected with an air
jump , -which will have a power of causing
ho expulsion of the air In the cell In one
nlnuto. and forty seconds , thus acting so
oulcklv as not to allow the victim to become
suffocated or distressed In even the slightest
legrcc , but , Instead , causing almost Instant
death. In fact. It was sho' , when the ex
periment was tried upon a huge St Hcinard
log that the animal was dead a mlnuto and
a holt after the vacuum was completed ,
The experts before whom the experiment
was tried were not only mnrvelously pleased
and surprised by the excellent success , but
vcro so positive , whllo the vacuum contin
ued , from the peaceful nnd lifelike appear-
tf the dog that hi- was still nllve that they
vould not allow the vacuum to bo illscon-
Inued for thirty minutes. When on ex
amining the St. Bernard they found that It
va.i dead ono and a half minutes after thu
acuum was completed they pronounced the
method "a revolution In the method of ex-
pcutlon" and declared that 11 was far better
linn electricity , which causes a stiffening
of the muscles nnd a filghtful appearance
of the face and eyes.
The method to be pursued In the exccu-
lon of criminals by this clumber , should It
> o adopted , will be as follows
The condemned will bo stripped , fie that
ho air which might become Icdged In and
ictwcen the folds of the garments vslll not
) n nbln to cause nny hitch In the execution.
'lio condemned will be placed In a ( position
on thfl flat of his hack , at full length , and
with the hands clasped above the head so as
n allow full expansion and contraction of
ho chest.
This Is done so that when the vacuum li
ormlnir the air In the body being expullod
iv the contraction of the cheat , will ho In-
tantlv drawn out of the chamber by the nlr
pump and then , theie being no nlr In the
chamber to replace that exhaled , death will
ensue.
