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.

CATTI.K Receipts of cattle this morning
numbered seventy-five cars, making the re
ceipts for the week to date 32,7o6 head, as
against 36,OW head last week. 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.

SHEEP Recelnt of sheen were
liberal for a Friday, twenty-four cars being
reported in, making the run lor tne live,
days this week over 82,000 head, as against
39.000 head last week and 102.000 head two
weeks ago. 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. New
