HORSE PoRTRAITuRE. BY Joseph Edwin Simpson.

is only necessary to through the pages Of this
volume to discover that the author is "horseman"s
from top to There Is literally nothing in equine
portraiture external INTERNAL that Is not touched
upon and even minutely detailed with carefulness
and skill that bespeak a mind thoroughly versed In
the subject of horses, their BIRTH habits, mode OF
training and qualifications, including the measure
ments, portrait and points Of the famous Dexter.
From the breeding stable to the successes Of tho
turf the writer takes us pleasantly through all
the phases Of "Horse Portraiture"-a some
what curious phase, but, in connection with
this volume, by no means inapt. Although written
In the form Of colloquy between preceptor and pupil
the style Is agreeable and diversified with descrp-
tons and anecdotes so ceverly introduced that ono
almost forgets that he Is reading for instruction
rather than for amusement. We should think thae
this volume would be indispensable to the hopsemen,
Of America. As companion volume to the splendidi
work produced by the same publishers, "The Amerf-
can Stud Book" this volume might he classcd. In
Its mechanical qualities OF printing, paper and binx-
ing, IL Is most credtab,e and would adcrn any
library.

saluting with graceful but sad smiles the people,
whose idol she Is and always has been from her child
hood.
The Empress is looking very pale and is dressed In
deep mourning. The attention paid to her by the
Queen is beyond all praise and there can be no doubt
that her recovery from the mental prostration
brought on by the sad events well known to every
one Is chiefly owing to the energy and devotion Of
her royal sister.in-law.
The widow Of the late General Miramon. the bosom
friend OF the late Emperor Maximan, has arrived
here with her children within the last few days with
the intention OF making Belgium her permanent
home. II s said that she has had audience at tho

The Stock Exchange-Easy Condition Of the
London Money Market.

Iron the London Times (city articel, April 15]
The rate OF discount has now remained at per
cent for longer period than on any former occasion.
Ii has stood at that point for 264 days. As regards
the general abundance Of money, however, there
have been times OF much greater duration than that
through which we have thus far recently passed.
After the great railway panic Of 1s47, a period Of
nearly five years enSued during which the rate
went above per cent, and was often down at IA
and 2.
The distress created by the convulson Of 1896 was
far more intense even than that from the railway
panic but while 1t was consequently more powerful
was not fatal to the operations of commerce, and
the power Of the country to realize profits has there
fore, been manifested with little Comparative inter-
rupton. Hence the accumulation Of unemployed
money Is greater now than was witnessed after that
occasion since. While we have been in the employ
ment OF fair degree OF trading prosperity we have
nursed state Of dread that has caused us to hoard
in an unparalleled degree the fruits Of that pros
perty.
Under these circumstances it is probable that but
for the deporabe character of the last wheat CROP
the bank charge would during the past autumn
have been down to l Il per cent Should the coming
harvest prove abundant, and peace be preserved,
the present plethora may be expected to In
crease, since the daily lessons still furnished in
the Court Of Chancery OF tho perils which are
almost inseparable from every joint stock con.
cern under our existing legal system must efrec-
turc In that form, while the contest between
France and Prussia az TO which Power can soonest

large or indiscrimlnate ventures In continental
