The leaders In The Tribune's Educa
tional Contest still continue to Increase
the number of points credited to them,
and although yesterday's scoring was
not ns large ns in tho preceding three
days, still there were some material
gains made, nnd ns these gains were
scattered nil through tho list It shows
that ull of tho contestants are being
stimulated to do their best, realizing
that but a little over three weeks now
remain for them to work nnd that they
must keep right on working to be "In
It" at the close of the competition.
There Is no shifting about of the ten
lending contestants this morning, nil
remaining In the same relative posi
tions they occupied yesterday morning,
although, of course, some of the lead
ers gained on those above and below
them by reason of turning In moro
points. The largest gain was that
made by Miss Fannie E. Williams, of
Peckvllle, who managed to tH Harry
Reese for seventh place, each of these
two now having 40 points. Those who
Improved their standing were Charles
Rodriguez, In first place; Oliver Cal
lahan, In third; Eugene Roland, in
sixth; Miss Williams, in eighth, and
John P. Smith, in twelfth. " Smith a'so
broke his tie with Edward Murray for
twelfth pitce and now leads the lattar
young man by two points.
There was one new contestant yes
terday, David J. Evans, of 19b) Wayne
avenue. Providence. There have been
a number applying for the little books
of subscription blanks in tho past
week, demonstrating that although the
contest Is now over two months old
that there nre a large number who
have had their Interest nrouaed only
recently and that thsy realize that
they still have a good opportunity to
earn one of the tn special rewards
offered to ambitious young persons.
There are still many youthful mem
bers of the community to whom this
work should appeal, and if they enroll
now they will have three weeks left
In which to catch up. Full details' of
the contest can be read on the fourth

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Sept. 0. The hopes nroused by yes
terday's increase In business that a period ol
more activo trading in stocks was at band were
disappointed today. Tho stock market m;ain
became an unimportant affair and oflercd little
ol Interrst as commentary on general condition)
or event. London In particular renewed its atti
tude of Indillerence toward American securities
and buying for that account in New York fell
back to insignificant proportions. Business dis
couraged local traders.
Tho rebuff given by London to the New York
bulls nas emphasircd by the neakness ol the
anthracite coalers, which declined on the ulti
matum offered by the operators to the miners and
the fears thereby earned of a strike. Reading
first preferred, New Jersey Central, Delaware
and Hudson and Tennsjlvanla were down durin?
the day from ?i to ltt. 1th some subsequent
recovery. Ontario and Western was an exception
and nas Ann on the strong ststement of the
jcai's Income. The steel stocks were heavy, as a
rule, apparently on the refusal of the trunk lines
to grant a reduction in freights from Tittsburg.
Colorado l'ucl was an exception on the heavy
Increaeo in net earnings reported for July over
those of a year ago. The continued decline in
tho prices of iron alio affected the group. Tbo
bears were disponed to let People's Gas and
Krooklyn Transit alone, mindful ot the their re
cent unpleasant experience with sugar. The list,
as a whole, hung heavy and neglected through
out the day. Total tales, 141,500 shares.
Kansas City Southern bonds were active and re
actionary. Otherwise, the bond market was dull
and Irregular. Total sales par value, $730,000.
