The prominent feature Of speculation to-day

national market 1t was the popular theory that
the buying was chiefly for the short account,
but to adopt this theory would he to pay too
much honor to bear faction which exists only
in the imagination Of traders. The buying for

ward appearances, but it was explained deliberately
why there should be no larger exports Of gold

greater companies. The vaearies In this stock
are Of little consequence In face Of rise Of

as much in Lake Shore, Louisville ard Nashville.

A Bottomless Pot.

An East Side dealer in New York was
lately made the object of . swindls that
was rather novel and original. A mid
die aged woman came into his store one
day carrying on her arm q large basket,
In which was pot with . lid. She
placed the basket on the floor, made
numerous purchases. had her bill count
ed up, and then carefully put all her
articles into the pot and replaced the
lid with the greatest caution. She NEXT
asked permission of the store keeper to
leave the articles in his care, a. she
wished to do a little more shopping in
the neighborhood, promising to return
in the course Of an hour.
This request was willingly acceded to.
and lifting the pot out Of the basket she
carried it carefully to . corner. where
it would be out Of the way, set it down.
and again slipping the basket under her
arm, left the store, after profusely
thanking the man for his kindness.
Hours went by. but the woman failed
to call for her precious pot. At last,
when closing time came, . salesman
went over to the corner for the purpose
Of placing the earthen ware in . safer
place, and quickly discovered that, like
a certain locality to which sinners are
supposed to be consigned after death. Il
was botfomless. The mere mention Of
a pot is now sufficient reason to cause
the victimised dealer to 60 into convui.
