ranging between $4,000 and $1,000, and

PRoF. BAIRD offers a most satifacto-
ry solution of the Canadian Fishery dis
putes when he proposes to stock our wa
ters, from the Chesapeake to Name, with
Goldfish, for which the Delaware and
Chesapeake bays are said to be peculiar
ly adapted. No Americans will want to
go on dangerous voyages to the Gulf of
st. Lawrence fishing for cod, If they can
get The fish in their own wat, rs, and
within a short distance of the principal
cities of the country; and, perhaps, we
may eventually persuade the Canadians
TO come south to fish, and then drive as
sharp bargain with them for the privi-
leges of fishing as any from which we
have suffered in the past.

join his regiment, under Col. Albert
Sidney johnson, with Robert Z. Lee as
Lieut.. Colonel, Geo. II. Thomas and W.

THERE has been recently some very
heavy stock transactions. at New York-
so huge that the aid of syndicates had to
be called in to carry them through. The
last noticed was the transaction of
Thursday, in the sale of $4,000 shares Of
Central Pacific Railroad Company, hich
is characterized as unique. When the
offering began the part of the Stock Ex-
change in which the stock was put up
was intense excitement. The crowd
which surged around the sellers was so
thick and SO eager that the pressure was
really dangerous. The stock was open
ed at 81., and within fifteen minutes
rose to s7A. AT 1920 o'clock-just twen-
ty minutes after the first offering-the
whole $4,000 shares had been disposed
of, the closing price being S5. The av-
erage price was 81 and fraction.
