QUIEI CLOSING WITH New YopK Slocks largely Governed Yesterday by (tie Sentiment Prevailing in London. SOUTHERN WAS UNUSUALLY WEAK Report of a Decrease In Earnings Was] the Cnuse?Trunk Line Stocks Re? lieved From Some of the Speoiat Pressure From Which They Have Suffered?The Closing Quotations. fPy Associated Press.) NEW YORK; July 30.?The stock | market here today had a |K?rlod of uri settlement in me early dealings rol lowed by quieter conditions and some recovery. This was in harmony with | the course of events n London, to which the market has heroine peoull urly sensitive hy reason of the devel? opments at that center yesterday. Be? fore the recovery there set In. Brit? ish Consols had extended the low rec? ord touched yesterday hy selling :> low as 82 1-2. There was some fur thor disorder In Copper Securities abroad also because of the additional | decline in the prlee of the metal tin re When conditions steadied u London It was accepted as the passing of some kind of crisis nnd sentiment corre? spondingly Improved. Mercantile au? thorities continue to speak In a lone of great confidence of the mainten? ance of prosperous conditions and u full demand for products nnd less re I'ance Is coming to he placed oh relief | from that cause for tho expanded ill mauds for money and credits. The trunk lines slocks were r< lleved from sonic- of the special pies sure from which they have suffered| lately, especially Brio and this was at? tributed to reports of an abandonment of the efforts to force a common ob? servance of the two cent passenger rate amongst those railroads. South? ern Hallway's report of a decrease in net earnings In the past year $1,008, 687 was explanatory of the weakness | from which Us stocks suffered. There was no disposition to oper? ate ;n anticipation or the United states i Steel dividend mooting as it . wa?| known that tho directors would not into session until the hour for closing j the exchange. Tho supposition that [ there would be any change In tho div? idend rate had been quite definitely abandoned, principally centered Inj the amount or unfilled orders oh hand] which at 7,603,878 tons show n fall? ing off of about 400.000 tons from the amount on hand three months earlier; n rate of recession not unusual for th?| second quarter of the year. The spec? ulative anticipation of railroad earn? ings for the uqnrter ns high as $1,000, 000 compares with the actual showing | of $46,693,706 a greater Increase ihani e xpected Bonds were Irregular, Total| sales par value $840,000.

The Chihuahua dog, Which as lab as twenty-five years ago was com? monly to be found in Mexico, Is rapid ly becoming extinct. It Is u CUrloUSl little creature, popularly supposed to| have been a cross between the pra lle dog and the Jack rabbit The animal resembles a small dog. Its weight Is sometimes not more than a pound and a half, and it has B disproportionately large head, bulging eyes, and long ears. The hair Is usually scanty, showing the pink skin underneath, and from this characteristic it has] been known ns the Mexican ha>'r)css| dog. One of its characteristic marks Is said to ba an unclosed cranial fis? sure, through which the brain can lie felt throbbing beneath the skin. The little animal are peculiarly ib Btrnctivc and are constantly scratch? ing at things witli the r long claws. They are easily tamed if taken young I and in numerous Instances the breed J has been domesticated, although tbey| seldom show the usual dog traits of] sagacious and Intelligent attachment.] In the last twenty-five years, unfortu? nately, the breed lias become so larger ly mixed with small dogs or various | niongrel types thnt it is now dlff'cultj to rind In Mexico a purely bred chi? huahua dog, and those that are found I are often sold at prices rangln? from $inn upward. Even in Chihuahua | these (logs are rare. A row specimen* sold In Mexico City recently are said I to have been speciments of the true breed. When to Wind a Watr.h. "Most people,'' said the WatChmtlk er, "wind their watches at night; hut it wouhl ho better to wind them in! the morning. "You see. we arc llahlfl to go to lied at different hours, and so to wind our watch at irregular intervals; and ;'t is better to wind it regularly. Then we. are more liable to forget to wind our watch at night than in the morn? ing and so may let it run down. "Hut We are pretty sure to get up In the morning at our regular hour, whatever the hour at which we went to bed, and so by winding it then wo may insure regularity of winding:; ami the watch is brought to nv ml then, when we put It on for use. and then we are loss likely to forget to wind It. "So morning Is the best time to wind a watch, if you can get yourself I Into the habit of winding it then." Cable Laying Vessels.
