There was heavy profit taking by shorts for over .w the week end and the market worked up six or seven points from the lowest dur ing the middle of the morning. The presence of a low barometer in Flor ida, and a heavy rain at "Pensacola, possibly caused some nervousness and accounted for some realizing of small er shorts, while there were, also ru-mors;-tbat a mid-month investigation of the National Ginners' Association indicated brighter deterioration in Texas - prospects, since the-Govern- 25th.

Berlin,-Aug. -2: The uncovering of an utterly unsuspected set of sixteen century mural paintings during a ren ovation of the ancient German Monas- tical church at Frankfort-on-Maih has been crowned by the discovery of an original self-portrait of the celebrated: German painter Albrecht Durer, con sidered here as-an artistic event' of the first magnitude. The 'artist is shown in a long man tle and feathered cap, brush and pa? lette in the left hand and in the right a square tablet with a Latin inscrip tion, stating that the picture is the work ot Albrecht Durer, and the date 1525. The frescoes are found on the walls, of the sacristy of the church, which for years were thought to bear only a simple tapestry pattern, until skill ful cleaning and restoration showed the supposed tapestry design to be really a set of elaborate and surpris ing paintings. From the inscription on the Durer nortrait and internal and historical evidence, it is thought that the decorations were the work of scholars of " Durer,' carried out unde'r the supervision of the master; -who capped the work with his own brush during a visit to. Frankfort in 1525 Details of the portrait and the char acteristlc inscription tablet, found in other Durer paintings, leave no doubt of its genuineness. Only a part of' the complete decoration has been revealed .Ctppher;!;i'eVikg Durer's painting pinsame 8Ujjclrqf'w'i'5ilrl,r St George and heads, of. the Emperor Hen ry II and his consort Kunigunde, the f bodies of which are still hidden under the, grime and dirt of the centuries. Four corupanies of the Queen Eliza beth Guard . regiment, attending ser vices recently at the Luisen Evangel ical church, in the aristocratic suburb of Charlottenburg, arose during the sermon and marched out of the build ing, their action for a -moment threat ening to create a panic among the other worshippers, who feared that a fire had broken out. The retreat, however, was ordered by the officers as a demonstration against the utterances of ' the pastor, Dr. Kraatz, "who in his sermon was defending Pastor Jatho, the Cology e divine just expelled from the church for heresy, after a- trial which -b.as excited the inter est'of all Germany for several months. -.' Pastor Jatho denies' the existence of .a personal Deity,; teaching instead the 'existence of a ' primordial force. which, perhaps, as eternal reason and directing wisdom, presided at thcrear tion, or perhaps first' became manifest and active : in ' the human mind ; dis claims the divinity of Christ and omits from his sermons air reference to , a future life, because he has come to no certain conclusion on this subject. He has, however, many admirers among the liberal . clergy in Germany, and his conviction for heresy was re ceived with intense disapproval in widjs circles in Germany, a national subscription is being started to enable him to carry on his Work. Dr. Kraatz's sermon, in which he sharply1 criticised the authorities who convicted Pastor Jatho, . and declared that they were trying to gag the free voice of the . church, will probobly lead to ' his trial, his utterances hav ing been denounced to the church au thorities immediately after the serv ices. This will ' strengthen the agita tion against the . connection of church and state in Prussia, the church being a state . institution to the support of which all who cannot prove other af filiations are compelled to contribute. 1 v American visitors were In force in Eayreuth at the opening of the Wagner Festival, in which more intense inter est than ever was shown by music lovers this, year, in consequence of the introduction of ' a new. stage setting by Siegfried Wagner pf the "Meister singer." .
