there were no marked changes in values during
the entire day, fluctuations be .ng confined to
the smallest limits. aud instances where the
extreme was l per cent are very few. The
opening was made on the squirt Of activity and
strength, and with first figures slightly higher,
further small gains were scored in the early
dealings, while Wheeling and Lake Erie pre-
ferred rose lSs per cent. TO 49, The rest Of the
market, however, soon felt the want of support,
aad realizatlons among the traders followed,
with the result Of bringing prices over the en-
tire list slightly below those of the opening.
The market then halted. but developed firm
tone IN the afternoon without material change
IN prices, and only portion of the mornings
loss was recovered. Money showed a slight
hardening tendency in the last hour, and
heaviness again marked the dealings, the close
being rather heavy but dull at close to the
lowest price of the day, which, however, was
only a small fraction below that of last evening.
Final changes in all cases are for small frac-
tons only, though generally in the direction of
lower prices Burlington and Quincy, st. Paul,
and Sugar were the only stocks in which there
was any approach to activity. The sales were

The G. A r. Veterans who contemplate at
tending the encampment at Washington have
not only early assurances of liberal treatment
at the hands Of landlords and railway
men. but they have the guarantee of
good treatment that a spirit of hearty
welcome and sincere hospitality give.
The invitation to the Grand Army Tas extended
partly because of an honest patriotic ambition
to be the host Of the organization and not
entirely as a stroke of purely business enter
prise. With body Of men whose boast it
might well be that they advanced their bust
ness interests to go to the defense of their
country, it is not to be expected that money
will be scattered with a lavish hand. Nobody
thought it would be; or in any event any who
expected it deserve disappointment Every
citizen should find a pleasure in contributing
his share to the entertainment OF the visitors
and make il a personal object to protect them
from the petty extortious which are customary
in every city where there is q crowd of
strangers

The agony Of preserving the penee-an
agony that costs untold millions OF dollars in
actual expenditure and draws fearfuily upon
the future, that stops the wheels of progress
and staggers the best minds at the head Of az
fairs-is still kept up in Europe with greater
and greater tension How much longer II can
be endured no man can tell All tho signs
point TO an early conflict but that has been the
case several times within the last dozen years.
1t has been supposed that the aggressive move
ment would come from Russia, as the power
with the most to gain and least to lose by war.
but the latest reports from London suggest
that the time is approaching when the triple
alliance will take the initiative and make de-
mands of Russia with which she cannot
comply. Just now she is weakened by famine
and intestinal disorders. This may furnish the
coveted opportunity, she having given occasion
by her heavy massing of troops at the German
and Austrian borders. 1t is supposed from
outgivings of the German press that the
people Of Germany are FESTIVE and may exact
of the government a formal explanation from
Russia other military movements or seize any
one of several other pretexts for bringing
affairs to n crisis. War In winter is not proba-

Tho tests of the American armor at Indian
Head last Saturday would seem to show that
this country has prodted greatly by the work
OF other nations in the line of making shot
resisting sides for naval vessels year ago
the navy WAS without a standard in this manu-
facturc, and it bought three foreign plates,
representing the best products Of Europe,
which it tested severely at Annapolis. Taking
the best plate it has improved upon 1t ard
added to /: the best-known American process
Of hardening and teE,poring. and thus 1t has
evolved. through the competing efforts OF pri-
vase manufacturers, a series Of plates that are
pronounced even by foreigners to DO superior
to anything eve- made abroad. There Is a
meaning hidden in this experience that cannot
fail Of strength when noted in connection with
the history OF the American navy in times when
tie country has needed fighting force for
either offensive or defensive warfare. Tagging
Q little behind the rest of the world in apparent
progress, this country has been able TO profit
by the experiments and experiences of other
powers, and. developing national trait Of
adaptation and improvement, the United States
today stand ready to compete with Europe in
any lime Of the manufacture Of war material.
