J. S. Bache & Co to Oakley & Co.: "The
sterling exchange market was very strong
indeed, not that the demand was very large
but because the supply OF commercial
paper was extremely limited. This liz no
doubt due to the Quarantining of sew eral
large vessels, and. in fact, the dfsarrange-
ment OF the whole transatlantic service
las made freight room for the export OF
grain very scarce. 1t seems to be the opinion
of several of the bankers that about 8. .000,-
O0c cold will go ont this week, If this is SO we
expect to see it reflected in the money mar
Eet. In fact, it is our opinion that money
is going to work considerable tighter and
that the effect OF this and other causes will be
reflected in lower prices in the stock mar
ket"
From Sproul & Cos letter: "The chief
manipu ators OF SUGAR were very confident
about he dividend being 215 per cent. quar-
terly, and bid the stock up with energy. The
story was that the directors had adjourned

lacking the street could believe any thing it
pleased. The White interest came in in the
last hour with further positive assertions
about the Sugar dividend, causing rally"

Charles Cornell came to the store in
the afternoon, and together we left the
Office. Mr.. Bernard was present, but
was very busy at his desk, and took no
notice of my visitor. He knew Mr.
Cornell was there, of course. He could
not help knowing that, and understood
perfectly that he was not pleased to
have him there. He had said enough
to convince me of that fact, and if /
had wanted any further evidence of it
should have found it in his manner, to
say nothing Of the scowl that darlzened
his face.
After leaving the store my companion
and walked for some distance IN ST.
lence There were times when Charles
Cornell seemed powerless to converse,
and at those times he exerted such an
influence on me that was dumb, too.
He had one of those spells now, I sup
posed. and while he stalked gloomily,
or rather solemnly, on, kept step with
him, wondering what weighty thoughts
could be in possession Of his mind.
We had gone a couple of blocks, per-
haps, when he suddenly turned his face
to me, as if just becoming aware OF my
presence, inquiring with the most as
tonishing abruptness:

him in perfect surprise, quite startled

I left Mrs. Bond to form whatever
conclusion she chose, and making what
preparations were necessary, went di-
rect to the store. Mr.. Bernard was
sitting at his desk when I entered the
Office, and he looked up and spoke, sim
ply passing the compliments Of the
morning. He was quiet, calm and col
lected, apparently having forgotten
our meeting Of the night before. He
made no reference to the fact that l
was later than usual-made no remarks
to me at nil except to give me few
brief instructions regarding my work.
He was courteous, but nothing more,
and within an hour the embarrassment
first felt wore away. leaving our rela-
tons undisturbed and easy, just as they
