New York, Aug. 11. —There was a
period of great strength and anima
tion in the stock market to-day, while
the first interpretation of the govern
ment crop report was the dominant
influence of sentiment. The confidence
with which the buying of stocks was
conducted was materially impaired
fa ter in the day.
The wild upshoot of prices in the
wheat market was a serious unsettle
ment to the optimistic views deduced
from the reading of the government
crop report. The strength of the corn
market also caused grave misgivings
over the seeming promise of a record
orop of that cereal held out by the
government report.
Metropolitan a Drag.
The reactionary tendency of the
Metropolitan Tractions, because of
selling to take profits on yesterday's
violent rise, was a drag on the general
market. An attempt was made to
remedy this by forcing Metropolitan
Securities to a higher level. But that
stock failed to hold, and the movement

cism which h'ad developed in the pre
vailing sentiment.
United States Steel showed a very
slight response at any time to the
strength of the market, and its late
drop helped much to unsettle the
market. The movement in Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific and the
character of the buying in them, were
especially imposing. But the grain
and cotton carriers enjoyed a good
demand foi all sections of the crop
regions.
Stock* Rallied Later.
Aft*>r the grain markets had closed
for the day it was found feasible to
rally the stock market, led by South

of 55. Some of the grain carriers also
recovered to about the best, but the

JEFFERSON AND THE NEGRO.
Judge H. W. Duke of Virginia De
nies Story of Black Dinner Gnest.
From the New York Sun.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 7.—Judge R. W.
Duke of Charlottesville, Va„ whose
family was Intimately associated with
that of Thomas Jefferson for genera
tions, has written a letter to a prom
inent Texas Democrat, giving positive
denial of the report that Jefferson had
entertained a negro at his table. This
report originated in a biographical
sketch of a learned negro who had
visited Jefferson at him home and was
reiterated last winter by the Hon.
Richard Bartholdt of Missouri in a
discussion of the race question.
Judge Duke says in part: "The poor,
miserable lie about Mr. Jefferson en
tertaining a negro at his table with
Chief Justice Marshall, William Wirt
and others is so absolutely absurd that
X have hardly thought It necessary to
pay any attention to it, although copies
of the extracts from this book have
been sent to me by two or three per
sons. I took the pains when the first
article was sent to me to confer with
Mr. Jefferson's oldest living descendant
In this city, Dr. Wilson Carey Nicholas
Randolph, Jefferson's greatgrandson.
and If you could have heard the burst
of amused laughter when he read the
article it would have settled the mat
ter with you. as it did with me.
"Dr. Randolph says he has often
heard his father. Mr. Jefferson's grand
son and his intimate companion for
the last twenty years of his life, speak
about Mr. Jefferson and the negro
question. But what stamps the whole
matter as a lie is that Mr. Jefferson
and Chief Justice Marshall were not
upon speaking terms for the last twen
ty-five years of Mr. Jefferson's life;
yes, we may say for the last thirty

dined at Montlcello in his life after
his appointment as Chief Justice. The
two men hated each other with a ha
tred almost personal.
“Mr. Jefferson was a strong be
liever in gradual emancipation, but
he looked upon the negro as belong
ing to an inferior race, and always
thought the only settlement of the
‘negro problem’ would be to deport him
gradually. The gentlemen of Mr. Jef
