MARKET DULL

THE TONE IS UNSETTLED
After an Opening Decline an Effectlvo
' Rally Was Lost on Appearance of
Bank Statement?Some Stocks
Ran to Top Level at Close.
(Bv Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.?To-day's markot
was nnrrow and dull, and was largely
confined to profosrdonnl oporations. Tho
movement was decldedly Irrcgular, es?
peclally at the close wr.en ?o^i if lho
loadlng stocks ran up to the top level
of tlie day. notably Bt- Paul and Now
York Central. whllo others ran off to

wliat un3ettlod throughout. London's in?

compllcated by thc cash dlvldend pay

the Vveatorn Natlonal Bank. Tho market
rnllled wol und cioaed Irregular, as
abovo Indicatcd. Thoro wns evldence of
somo left over llquldatlon and the out
come of tho Baltlmore banking embnr
rassmentfj was still a somewhat dlpturb
Ing factor on sentiment. The vlolent
jump ln the cotton markot on the gov
ernmrnt's monthly report of condlUono
was not well recelved ln the stock mar?
kot. Sterling exebango wus ea*y ond
-iscount ratos decTlncd in London wlth
reports of large arrlvals of gold from
Bouth Africa. New York's probably com?

thus promlse to bo facllltated. The show

EAST RADFORD, VA., October D.~
"Withln thn past slx months Inindreds of
pooplo have asked me if ox-Governor
Tyler would bo a eandiVlato for tbe Unlted
Statea Senate noxt year against Senator
Martin. After a dellghtful woek spent
in tho Governor's soclety, l still havo to
reply I do not know.
Governor Tyler doos not know. He
frankly admlta ho would like to round
out hls polltlcal career as Senator of tlio
United States from Vlrglnla. Ho is per
fectly willing to dlscUBB every phase of
tho altuatlon; but La is not willing to
say whether lie wlll or wlll not bo a
candldate. And his unwllllngness Is
wholly duo to tho fact that ho has not
mado up his mlnd. Ho rooalled tliat ho
told me ln a publiahed Int-rvY-W last
Kebruary lhat ho would bo a candltluto
lf tho candldato woro chosen at a pri?
mary oieotlon. Tho Caot that he does not
wlthdraw a word of that lntervlew now
leads me lo belleve that thore ls some
prospect of lils ellterlng tho raco. Ilo
does not tliink tho party law reauirlng
tho candi'dato to be chosen at a primary
wlll bo repealed bofore it haa been given
a full trlal. Ho hus for years iidvo
calcd tlils mothod. Uo bellevea lt ls
cortiiin to provo aocoptablo to tho ma?
jorlty of tho Democrats of .tlio Stato,
Although OUt of olllce, tho Governor Iri
still very much in polltlcs. 1 do not know
any man who is a iiconer observer of
polltlcal events ni Virginia al present,
or ono better Informed, Whlle ho was
Qoyernor bo would froijuetilly loso slght

Hls life ls full, though he does not

ests, nnd though Mr. Edward Tyler, hls
son, ls ln dlrect chargo of the farm, tha
Governor knows cverythmg that ls golng
on about It, and much of the buslness re
celvos hls personal attention. Hls church
work requlros a great deal of attention.

ANNUAL. JOINT PICNlC.
I was a guest at tho annual jolnt
plcnic of the two schools ln a beautiful
grove near Radford last waaK, and tha
Governor was tho central ligure. Hla
daughters nre> as deeply interosted in
tho two schools as ho and they, too, were
leading 6plrits at tho plcnic.
lt ls easy for thn vlsltor to Radford
to uudorstand tho deep hold whlch Gov?
ernor Tyler has always had on his peo?
plo. Halwick. hls beautiful home on the
hlgh hlll, whlch overlooks the town from
tho onst, Is nlwnys opon to vlsitors. He
belleves In keeping tho latch string on
the outslde, und ls belng constantly pull
ed. He knows ovorybody in tho town, of
course, nnd he very nearly knows all tha
peoplo In thev surrooinding country as*
well. His clieory greotlng luid pleasant
words aro hoard constantly as ho pasa>
os along the streot. Many of hls nelKh
bars ho calls by thelr Chriatlan names,
ln that easy style I have heard vlsitors
to rural eastern Vlrglnla coramout upon
und admlro.
1 can scarcely oxnggornto Govornor Ty
ler's popularlty ln (hla sectlon. Hvory
mnn to whom hls namo 1s mentloned
takes pleasure ln expresslng hls ndmlr
atlon. Tlio people aro protid of hls ca?
reor, aud hls ndmlnlstratlon ns Governor
of Vlrglnla. Many tlmes I havo heard
out here nlluslon mado to tho fact that
though there, was only $1(1,000 In the State
treasury when Governor Tylor went to
tho iOxooutlvo Manslon, thore was over
$WW,00U when ho left, thoiiKht ho had
cquipped thrsa reglmontB of soldlors for
tho Spnnish war, pnld hnlf of tho extra
orttlmiry OXPQIISQ of a Cuustltutiomtl Con
vuniiim and added a large sum to the
slnklng [und, provided for ihe redeniptlou
of Stato bonds.
DIHl'OSKTJ TO CJUTICIZE,
Tho friends of ex-Uoveruor Tyler are
dlsposed to crllleiso Govornor Montague
fnr hls fallure to appolnt tho Governor
to tho Corporatlon Qommlaslpn. lt ls
sald thn Governor deslied tho appolnt?
ment. IIo had been one of Governor Mon
tague's Btrongeat supportera. But ex
Govemor Tyler would not speak half a
dozen wot'ds on tho subject whon I
broaohed lt to hlm. not a word to indicate
that ho blattied Govornor .Montague or
that ho would liuva accepted tho place
hnd he bin-ii oflered It.
Though I havo not been able to say in
thla h'tlor Uuu Governor Tylor wlll or
wlll not ll" 8 candldato for the Senate, I
surely havo nol it slred to vloatw the
Impiosslon that wlth him out of offlce
means belng out of polltlcs. He and a
