The following I a list of the titles: CITIES. I Clearings.! Inc. Dec. New York.. '$l.f4 ft NEW YORK. Oct. 16. The strenfcth nf individual stocks affected the general list by sympathy today. The causes back of the strength In the Influential stocks were lost In conjecture, but the manner In which they were absorbed and tho evidence of scanty market supplies were accepted ns evidence of accumulation. 1'nion Pacflc and St. Paul were conspicuous Instances. A marked demand for the 1'nlon Pacific convertible bonds has been In evidence for several days past, keeping them well In advsncn of the parity value of the stock for public purposes of exchange, which la b. i he demand for the bonds is inter preted, however. In favor of the stocks. In the case of St. Psul. the August earnings statement was favorable In Its showing of sn increase In the gross earnings over that of August of last year, hut this showing was not much different from that of the return to the Interstate Commerce commission. Which has been published be fore. The return of these high grade storks to the leadership of the market was Influ ential In soothing the disquiet caused by the recent prominence of lower grade and less well known stocks. Borne satisfaction was manifest over the preliminary estimates of the week's cur rency movement, which Indicated that the depletion of bsnk reserves by th flow to the Interior has been arrested. The outgo for the week was to have been less than $1,000,000 and the chanae In the cash Item of the banks on call accounts little more than usual. The call money market today con tinued to show the moderate curtailment of supplies, the demand to carry over until Monday at the Stock exchange Increasing the firmness of tone. It Is expected that the financial transaction of the week. In cluding sales of the new Southern Pacific bond Issue and of New York City warrants. may have expanded the loan item of the banks to a considerable extent. The comptroller's abstract of the condition of all the national hanks In the country shows an expansion in loans since July 15, the date of the preceding call, of jlSo.ooo.oon. that Item now standing $72,028,762 In excess nf the total of August 22. 1W7, which was the last abstract published before the financial crisis developed. There was some appearance of profit taking sales In the general list under cover of the strength In the two leaders and. In raet, net changes at the end of the day allowed the decline well represented. The activity of Union Pacific convertible stirred up some movement In other bonds of that class. The bond division was active nnd firm. Total sales, par value, $4,944,000. Cnlted States bonds were unchanged on call. Following were the sale and range or prices on the Stock exchange today: sales.

Some ot the trains were Into In arriving at the yards ana wim so little on sale the market was very low and dull to open. In fact. It was a typical Friday's market, the trade being of an Indifferent and featureless character tnrouguout Hardly enough beef steers were on sale to make a test of the market, but, what few there were sold at what looked' about like steady prices. The same was true of the few feeders offered. As a matter of fact the trade on feeding steers toward the last oi the week Is always slow, and the com mon kinds especially hard to move. Cows and heifers broke very badly yes terday, canners in some cases toward the close selling as much as 2oc lower than the previous day. The weak feeling prevailing yesterday was carried over until today.

A considerable proportion of the arrivals consisted of feeders, with only a small sprlnking of killers. There were comparatively few country buyeis In the yards, but commission men seemed to have quite liberal orders, and the offering of feeders were generally picked up In fair season, although the trade an a whole was dull anil of an In different character. Prices generally lpoked about steady with yesterday. Thus quite a string of feoder lambs sold up to 14.75, with feeder ewes at 13.00. Fat sheep and lambs were very slow and wealt througnotit. Packers bought very freely yesterday and were not Irs need of fresh supplies today, so that they were r.ot at all active buyers. Fortunately there were only a few killers in sale and t ha trade mltiht be summed up us a dull, weak and Indifferent market so far aa the kill ing end was concerned.

COLUMBIA'S ACCURATE CLOCK A Timepiece WhU-h Hoc Mot nu More Than Six Second a Year. Tn the observatory of Columbia univer sity. New Yolk City. Is one of the most accurate clocks In tho world. It bos run for several months with a meaia error t only fifteen-thousandths of a second and mrxlmum error of thlrly-thousandlln of a second per da'- That means that it doe not vary more than half a second a month, or six second a year. Compare this with the first pecket tlm piece, the "Animated Egg of Nuremhurg." which required winding twice a day and varied an hour a 11 a half In the same time. Compare It with some of the htghe,t priced watches manufactured today, which often vary more than ten seconds a week, and you will have some idea r,f the refine merits in the science of measuring time. Yet even this sccurax-y Is surpassed by some famous timepieces, If the trade ma gazines are to be believed. There have been accounts in them of clock or watches that have varied less than a Second in periods as long as ten yeais. The clock at tho University of Columbia. Is an astronomical clock. II Is surrounded by a glass; case In which a partial vaouuni Is maintained, and in order that tho cas may not lie opened or disturbed the winil. lng Is ("one automatically by electricity. The clock Is set up In a room especially coiietructed to keep It free from Jar or vibration. The temperature and barome tric conditions are maintained practically conslant, and every pnss,hl precaution is taken to minimise the errors of tin- run ning rate. It Is not generally appreciated that clocks ot the present type, although used as f .r back aa the twelfth century, aixl possibly earlier, were but fair timekeepers until several centuries Wter. In fact, It has only been within the :t few decades thiit really accurate docks have been manufac tured. Those which the astronomers used In their observations at the end of Ilia fifteenth century were so unreliable that modified forms of the water clocks of the ancients were often employed as checks upon them. Galileo's discovery cf the lso chronism of the pendulum from Its swing ing chandelier in the church of Tisa w-a.4 of great value In lis application to t lie measurement r.f lime. The Inventions of the nierrmi.il and compensating pendulums have aided materially in cutting down the errors of (he running rata and controlllnur the motion, .f tho cltKjk "K lihaiiiKiU.
