LoNpoN's AMERICAN MARKET.

Excitement.
The American market in London is
an important adjunct to the stock ex-
change. 1t is a resort for SPECTATORS
where they can make all the noise they
please, and be in almost every respect
unfettered by the rules which govern
the rest of the house. 1t is a place Of
hustle and excitement where the bulls
can roar and the bears can growl to
their hearts content. To the visitor
in the British capital the American
market" possesses a special attraction.
There is nothing slow pertaining TO
this branch of the ''house." Even on
days when quotations are steady, and
there is no unusual feature in specula-
ton in stocks and bonds, its habitues
are never caught mapping.
Every Britisher realizes that the
american market is thoroughly
American. In point of time the New
York market is abou. five hours be-
hind London. New York opening
prices, when cabled to London, are an
nounced only a few minutes prior to
the closing of business in this city.
Whatever the Spectator here wishes to
do must be done quickly. A rush Of
orders is received for execution, many
of them from Wall street and others
from local operators, based on indica-
tons supplied from the prices or 9TH
err news to hand, The arbitrageurs,"
as they are called, who do an apparent
~ precarious but really most lucrative
business, based upon the fractional dis
crepancies in value on the different
sides OF the Atlantic, have received
their early cables and are reaping their
daily harvest.
With the house closing at about the
most important time in the days deal
ings the market adjourns almost in a
body to Shorter's court Just outside n
of the doors, and frequently ovcrflows
into Throgmorton street to the perpleX-
ity of the passing cabby and the Won
der of the uninitiated foot passenger.

cially active the assembly does not dis
perse until ESQ or I o'clock in the even.

An ingenious youth employed to
sweep out a New York bank, devoted
attention for a considerable period to
gathering up the crumbs from the tills
in the shape of corners and other bits
of notes, such as get torn off and
fall about in any place where dollars
are counted. In the course of time, he
got together a quantity of scraps, and
sent them to the redemption bureau, at
Washington, in a box, with the explana-
ton that they had been eaten by mice.
He stated the amount at two hundred
dollars, and asked for new bills in ex-
change. His little game was betrayed
on the face Of it by the fact that the
pieces forwarded represented, If any

The Difference in Limbs,

The right arm is always a little
larger than the left, but the left foot is
always larger than the right, prauma-
bly, because, while nearly every man
uses his right arm to lift a weight or
strike a blow he almost invariably
kicks with his left foot, while the loung,
err stands on his LETT leg and let's his
right fall easily, because he has learned
by experience hat this is the best atti.
tude he can assume to prevent lassitude
and fatigue. This constant bearing of
the weight on the left foot makes it
wider than the right, and it often hap
pens that a man who tries on a shoe on
the right foot and gets a close fit has
to discard the shoes altogether because
he can not endure the pain caused by
the tightness Of the left. If, when
riding on a street car, you will take the
trouble to notice, you will see that in
laced shoes the gap is smaller on the
right foot than on the left, while with
button shoes the buttons have to be set
back ten times on the left shoe to once
on the ight.-Chicago Herald.

There is an economical reason for this con-
dition of things. IL is that the rail rate on
freight sent west OF Lake Michigan is one
cent per ton per mile, while the water rate
is one-tenth of one cent per ton per mile.
This position ut the extreme western end OF
Lake Superior is what gives the city OF Su-

faster than chicago ever ulu. BtslueS one

We keep an eye upon IL back
For printings made Of chalk;
We do not stoop for pennies
That are nailed upon the floor,
Nor do we burn our fingers

We are careful not TO bite;

On bundles made of bricks.

We don't believe our eyes,
