A PRETTY LITTLE STORY.

II is a pretty story. the story of the little
four-yesr-old son # Max Miosky, the farm
laborer of Deep River, Conn. On Tuesday
afternoon of last week the little man wan
dered from his home on the border of great
dense wood. His parents and a band of
neiehbors searched for HIM all night long and
all the following day. and at last on Thurs
day, as the factory whistles sounded the hour
of noon, the little imp was found by Pastor
Reid sitting on fallen LOG in the middle of a
clearing cOntentedly munching a hstful of
Wild straw No wonder the pastor is
abandon. Ii is the story OF Little Brooches
over again. and perhaps the pastors bps were
murmuring softly: How did he git thar,
angels"

Philadelphia Gas About Holds Its Own and
Electric Moves Up.
There was better feeling among room trad
ers at the Stock Exchange yesterday, but it
was more apparent in sentiment than in figures,
although the latter, taken altogether, showed
some Improvement. Total sales were 30 shares,
against 23l the previous day.
Philadelphia Gas about held its own, while
Electric gained 2points over the previous close.
Citizens Traction also improved its standing,
but Pleasant Valley submitted to slight con-
cession. Switch and Signal and Wheeling were
weak through neglect as before remarked the
feeling was more buoyapt. This was based on
the belief that bottom had been really reached.
A broker remarked: "It is marked charac-
teristic of the market just now that investors
want things at their own figures, thus occupy
ing substantially the dual position of buyers
and sellers. Holders object to this. and. as but
few of them are compelled to realize they are
keeping their stuff out of the market. This Is
good policy, and if persevered IN will force an
advance"

CHICAGO The market for January was
local in character and fluctuations were mar
row. Easy money and a good demand from
abroad for -four on the one hand were holding
prices up. while on theIother, Snow and Pard-
ridge tried to keen them down. There was an
advance OF about Tc in the May future and lc
in the price for July. The Government crop
report was alternately speculated upon as
likely TO favor the bears. and again, to be on
the side of the bulls One estimate made the
total for the year 400 00O, 900 bushels. The New
York advices were that considerable inquiry
was In progress there by foreign houses, but
only ~ boat loads was sold for foreign ship
ment to-day. The range in prices was narrow.
The lowest price was 9S5sc for May, and the
97sSc
There was lack of animation in the corn
pit during the day which was enliyened only
during the time the oats crowd was threatening
to become hysterical over q &c advance in that
cereal. May corn opened at 525<c, being &c de-
cline since the previous afternoon, and 1t sold
at 52sssc sparingly soon after. 1t advanced by
slow degrees in sympathy with oats until 5Sl4c
was paid and then sold off to SIC, recover
ing to and closing at 53I6c.
The liveliest business done was among the
oats dealers. A somewhat sudden and material
advance brought out the fact that Pardridge
was Dy no maanS the only short in oats. He
and his co-unfortunates made lively hustle"
to fill their shorts. and they were only supplied
when they had offered satisfactory premium
to certain astute old speculator, who has for
