New York, July 23. Events during
the week were almost universally on
the side of improvement. Our crops

era
confidence is rising; the security
markets have been unusually strong,
and in general the trend of the times
is toward leaving the panic behind
and forgetting its consequences for
the present at least.
Decision Natural Sequence.
The decision in favor of Standard
Oil, upsetting Judge Laixiis' verdict
of $L'9,Oi)u,(iOo fine against that great
organization, was a natural sequence.
Nothing else could well have been ex
pected because it was ridiculously ex
orbitant. This decision wil have a
good effect on the market because
wilh most security holders the idea of
Hitch a penalty was that, it really
meant confiscation of stockholders'
property in corporations and tle
never knew when the lightning won!
strike them, which caused a feeling of
insecurity. It was this effect upon
the minds of stockholders generally
that did more than anything else to
intensify the l!it7 panic. Standard Oii
stock declined from 810 its highest
price to :)'. its lowest figure. The
rise from its lowest point makes a dif
ference of $7u,noo,oii0 to the stock
holders of that corporation within a
comparatively short time. The effect
of this tremendous advance is to in
crease the confidence anil courage of
the members of the Standard Oil com
pany, who are the greatest combine
lion of, merchants that ever existed
wielding a power, influence and energy
such as lias been previously unknown.
A good deal of this influence is now In
the stock market .uiid has done much
to make the recent advance possitde
Bond Improvement a Factor.
Next in importance to crop progress
and the Standard Oil decision as mar
ket, factors was the great improve
ment In the bond market: the result
of bettered financial conditions and a
revival of investment demand. Our
big railroad, systems, it is well un
derstood, are in urgent need of funds
for carrying on the improvements pre
viously -inaugurated. The panic sud
denly cut off their usual source of sup
ply: throwing many hands out of em
ployment and Intensifying the indus
trial depression. I'nder present condi
tions the raising of new capital bv
tock issues would be impossible, and
bond issues are the only resort. For
tunately a market can now be found
for higher grade:; of the latter on
reasonable terms; thanks to eas
money and a partial revival of confi
dence. This recovery of the invest
ment demand is one of the most sig
nificant and satisfactory indications
if the times. As long as capital re
mained timid real recovery was im
possible, and labor must, have con
tinned idle. Now that capital has be
sun to come out of hiding, recovery
will go on and labor will once more
el employment. The funds now com
ing to the railroads from bonds will
cause a
better demand for steel and
other products, imparting new lif"
to many channels of industry. The
ibatcment in hostility to capital,
which was so rampant last winter
will als l'c be helpful to capital and la
hornlike. On all sides there are signs 1
if sure through limited recuperations '
It. would be folly to anticipate a quick
return to old time activity: that wil!
probably be a question of months.'
but the prospects for a good harves
ceitainly give reasonable assurance
of a much better autumn trade than
at one time expected. Thus far July,
which is often a period of deteriora
tion, has been a month of steady
improvement in the condition of corn
cut ton and wheat; so that today the
prospect is for a still larger yield of
these crops than indicated in the last
government report. Should favorabl"
weather continue and early frosts be
"scaped we would cotne very neyi
having bumper crops; but this is toe,
much to expect and there is abundant
reason for hopefulness in remember
ing that owing to good prices our
farmers are likely to produce fully $S.
iWin.ut-n.tMtn of new wealth or about
$.ioit.ooo ,oi to more than last yea"-.
Trujy our farmers are still the back
bone of the country; for they at least
are prosperous and will be good buy
ers of the necessities of life and
many of the luxuries. This will work
for contentment, not only in the busi
ness world, but in the political field
which is a factor of not liltle import
ance during a presidential campaign.
Stock Market Has Advanced.
The rterk market has now had a
very tug advanc", and evidpnees of
inside rfabnzin': are already apparent.
Aside fr-mi the better conditions noted
above the rise has been largely th
result, of niannpu!a;ion by a few big
operators having securities to se'l
either In the shape of stocks bought
to stem the panic or in the form of
lxind isKUes io meet urgent railroad re
quirements. Veiy likely they hoM to
iavest the proceeds of stock sales to

for higher prices and sustain market
activity as long as possible. How far
they will succeed remains to be scon.
Kecent events have certainly been in
their favor and there has also been
an abundance of cheap money with
which to facilitate such operations.
Foreign Affairs Improving.
The placing of several millions of
new bond isucs in the European mar-
net must he accepted as an encour
aging sign. It not only proves that
foreign affairs are improving financial
ly; but that confidence in American
secucrities is once more returning al
beit that only our best bonds soem ac
ceptable. Apparently the threatened
crisis in Berlin has been averted and
affairs are being gradually straighten
ed out; while In London also the sit
uation lias bettered considerably. The
free offerings of security bills In tills
market, resulting from bond issues
placed abroad, has materially reduced
the possibility of gold exports, and
very soon there should be larger of
ferings of future grain and cotton
bills. Time money shows a slight
hardening in rates and the flow of
i urrency to the interior for crop mov
ing 'purposes has already begun. Hall
road earnings continue to make a poor
showing; but, these reflect past con
litions, and better results, gross and
let, should in due season be forth
coming. As to the future of the mar
ket, owing to the many improving con
ditions the present leaders may hi
successful in forcing it to a still high
er level; but it. should bo clearly re
membered that they are creating a
market on which to unload, and on all
pronounced advances it would be pru
dent to take profits, especially as the
market might react sharply In event
of crop or political scares. Securities
are steadily passing from strong into
weaker hands. Having strongly ad
vised purchasers of stocks for soni"
time pastl now .equally strongly ad
vise great caution in the making of
purchases in the future. We are like
ly to have a good trading market, but

ed above have been fully discounted

THE CHILD AND THE BIBLE.
Writer in Appleton'a Make. Suggea
tions Worth Considering.
The Mi hie Is not a dreary book. It
is a cheerful book. It is not a dull
book, it jg an intensely Interesting
book. Not all parts of it ure approprl
ate reading for children. Why should
they be? Some parts are not even fit
for children to rend. Hible lllerature
must be given to children with dis
crimination, just as should any other
literature. Your hoy will be just as
much, interested in Hible stories as tn
any other stories, unless you frighten
him away from them. Also you will
find that he wants the real flible
stories, not somebody's Imitations. If
he sometimes prefers "Diamond Hick
The Hoy Pirate," or its like, It
doesn't show that Bible stories do not
interest him. It shows simply that you
must use some tact In competing with
the author of ' Diamond Dick." The
lilble stories do him good, and "Dia
mond Dick" does not. Naturally he
does hot want to be done good to all
the time, any more than do the rest
of us.
Inslead of making him memorize
the Hible for punishment, let him
memorize carefully selected passages
in place of some other work. He may
not thank you at the time, but he will
some time. It will give him a heritage
of pleasure and -profit upon which he
may draw at will for the rest of his
life. Don't give him the Idea that
every Hible story Is a moral lesson.
Some Hible stories are no more moral
than some newspaper stories. If you
confuse the moral and th historical
your boy may grow up In doubt as to
whether an Amalechlte Is V sin or a
man. No matter what the theologians
may have said to the contrary, it Is
not sacrilegious to treat Ahe Hible
sensibly. In fact, it seema to us sac
rilegious to treat it any (other way,
Porhaps you were made wretched In
your childhood by having the Hible
unintelllgently crammed down your
throat. Perhaps you wer$ made to
memorize whole chapters by way of
punishment. That that wa not the
best way to make you fond of' It, never
occurred to your parents. They hud
never heard of child psychology. Per
haps you were threatened with hell
unless you believed every word In the
Hible true in its narrowest, its most
literal sense, perhaps you remember
family prayers where your father read
from the Hible in a dreary monotone
while the rest of you sat, In awed
silence. From all this dreariness you
wlnh to protect your child, and no
wonder! Hut that is no reason for
depriving him of the real Hible. Ap

Improved Matrimonial Conditions.
Dr. L. C. Hallburton, the noted Kng
llsh statistician, was discussing in
New York the statistics of marriage
marriage statistics are his specialty.
"The last statistics," he said, "show
us one pleasant change, one grand im
provement. Aged men of wealth are
no longer marrying beautiful, mer
cenary young women as frequently as
they upei. In fact, those marriages
are becoming in this country so rare
that the newspaper don't hesitate to
comment very forcibly upon them. I
approve of these Cruel comments.
They keep such mockeries of mar
riage down." Hallburton smiled grim
ly. "In a little town in Herts last
month." be said, "a millionaire of 79
married a Tonnjt and pretty milliner
of 22. The local paper printed the
next day this editorial paragraph on
the matter: "Six months ago, when
Mr. P.lank's venerable wife died, his
children and grandchildren feared
that he would go crazy over the sad
bereavement. Their fears have now
come true."

STORY OF ONE 8MALL DOG AND
ONE UMBRELLA
Mrs. Melntosh'a . Absent-Mindednesa
and Puppy's Ability for Making
Trouble Sadly Disturbed the
Peaceful Congregation.
We had a little exaitemrnt In our
church a few Sundays ago. Mrs. Mc
intosh Is remarkable' for her singular
absence of mind. Dr. Forts, the preach
er, was reading from the Snrlptures
the aeount of the deluge, and when
he came to the story of how It rained
for so many dr.ys and nights Mrs. Mc
lntosdi became so deeply absorbed In
the narrativ: and so strongly 1m
piersed with it that she Involuntarily
put up her umbrella and held It over
her head ns she sat In the pew.
Mrs. Hut tei wick, who sits in the
next pew In front, always brings her
dog to church with her, and when Mrs.
Mcintosh suddenly raised her umbrel
la the action affected the sensibilities
of Mrs. Hutterwick's dog In such a
manner that he began to bark furious
Jy. Then the sexton came In and tried
to remove the animal, but it dodged
Into a vacant pew on the other side of
the aisle and defied him. barking all
the time most vociferously.
Then the sexton became Indignant
and flung a hymn book at the dog;
whereupon the dog flew out and bit
him on the leg. The hubbub in the
church was by ihis time, of course,
something simply dreadful. Not only
was the story of the deluge Interrupt
ed, but the wicked boys in the gallery
actually "sicked" the dog at the sex
ton, and seemed to enjoy the contest
exceedingly.
Then Deacon Jones canle after the
dog with his walking stick; whereupon
the animal actually dashed toward the
pulpit, and ran up fhe steps In such a
fierce manner that Dr. Potts all at
once mounted on the chair to get out
of the way of the beast, and he said
that if tills disgraceful sceire did not
soon come to an end he should dismiss
the congregation. Then Deacon Jones
crept up the steps, and fiftef a short
struggle he seized the dog by tha hind
leg and walked down the aisle with
him, the dog meanwhile yelping with
supernatural energy.
Mrs. Mcintosh turned around to
watch the retreating deacon,- and as
she did so she permitted her umbrella
to droop over so that the end of one of
the ribs caught In Mra -Bntfe"rwick,s
bonnet. A minute later, when she
BtraiKtitened op the umbrella, the bon
net was wrenched off and huna; dang
ling-from the umbrella." Mr. Butler
wick had beconia exceedingly warm,
at any rate, over the onslaught made
against her dog, but when Mrs. Mcin
tosh removed her bonnet she fairly
boiled over and, turning around whit
with rage, nbP screamed:
"What did-roti grab that bonnet for,
you green-eyed catamount? Ain't you
made enough fuss In' this yer taber
nacle to-day skeerlng a poor, Innocent
dog, without snatching off such bon
nets as the likes of yon can't afford to
wear, no matter how cray you are,
you redheaded lunatic you! You let
my bonnets alone, or I'll warm you
with this parasol, even if It Is In meet
ing, now mind me!"
Then Mrs. Mcintosh seemed to rea
lize that her umbrella made her con
spicuous, so she furled It and conclud
ed to go home. And aa she stepped
into the aisle Mrs. Htilterworth gave
her ibis parting salute: -. .
"Kneaklng off before the collection,
too. You'd better spend less for Jew
elry and give more to the poor heath
en, It you don't want to ketch ll here
Hftetl." - ),.,''
Then she began to fan herself furi
ously, and as things became calmer
Dr. Potts resumed the story of the
flood. - -
Mrs. Mcintosh has moved Into a
brk pew, and because th deacons re
quested Mis. Lutterworth to leave her

Presbyterians, and she now dclsrcs
