Prices Decline and Then Recovcr-It
Was a Dull Market All Bay-Cover-
ing of Shorts on tho Bank State
ment - Sugar Certificates Were
Marked Up Again.
NEW YORK. March g.
Yesterdays early stock market prices showed
then an equally slow recovery, which left quota
lions about where they opened. The recovery
of the second hour was due In pa to the rela-
lively small loss in bank reserves, for the trad
ing community seems to have entertained the
curious notion that all the weeks curreHcy ship
ments would be subtracted from the surplus re-
serves. All sources OF Wall street information
pointed to an early issue Of bonds for sale
abroad or the stock list itself, Sugar certificates
alone supplied material for especial interest, and
even there the evidences Of expert manipulation
were so plain as to detract altogether from the
movements significance.
Something over five millions in money appears
by the bank statement to have gone out OF New
York. The Withdrawals were chiefly made by
interior banks, whose deposits the New York in
situations have been carrying; the nature Of the
movement being plainly reflected, not only by
the very large falling Off in the deposit account,
but by the almost complete preponderance Of le-
gal tenders in the reported cash decrease. This
wholesale calling away Of deposits has naturally
enough disturbed the loan account. Coupled
with the dullness in stock speculation, 1t has
served to bring about q heavy shrinkage In out
standing credits That higher money rates,
however, for any long period, will be the result,
does not follow An abnormally large call for
export gold next week might cause a Squeeze"
and SO might a return of wide market activity.
Failing either of these factors and neither can
be called distinct probability-the situation of
the bank reserves is by no means such as to
cause uueasinsss. Three years ago at this date
the surplus bank reserves were for q time prac-
tically wiped out; yet money rates continued att
and per cent. level.

SHE WAS TIRED OF LIFE.
Frederick Young German Wom-
an, Takes Poison.

A young German woman known
as Frederick living on Queen street
near Punchbowl, grew tired of life
Saturday evening, and committed
suicide by means of poison taken
in whisky.
Dependency, caused by dome
site troubles is supposed to have
been the cause leading the young
woman to take her life.
The woman was dead when
found by neighbors, and the body
was soon after taken to the police
station where a post norton ex
animation was held, the result of
which went to show that death
was caused by poison, although
Professor Lyons, who had the anal
ization of the contents of the stom-
ach in hand, was unable to say
last night what the poison was.

A Gnmc nuntcr,. - Enorl.

NJ. dc Cherville had dog which had
become wholly deaf and almost blind
with old age, as wen as most helplessly
lame with rheumatism. The dog slept
almost all the time. but he retained
keen passion for the chase, and it was
impossible for his master to get away
from the house with gun on his shout
der without the old dog unless the ami.
NAL was locked up.
On one occasion when M. de Cherville
thought he had eluded the old dog he
found when in the field that the faithful
creature was limping after him, whinirsz
with the pain Of moving his old limbs,
but keenly on the alert, as wen as his
eyesight would permit, for game.
Presently the master saw the dog
pointing at a partridge. De Cherville
could not-resist the temptation to kill
one more bird for the veteran. he fred,
the partridge dropped and the dog, with
the one-quarter Of an eye which remained
to him, hunted it out and brought it t.
his master.
Bringing the bird at q limping, lum-
bering gallop, the dog did what he had
never done before in the field; he got upon
his hind legs, planted his forepaws on De
Chervilles shoulders and dropped the
bird on his breast. Then the dog fell to
the ground, rolled over two or three
times and was dead. His last supreme
effort in his masters behalf had killed
him.-Youth's Companion.

Gem Peddlers Of Ceylon.

1 was sitting one afternoon on the
beautiful wide veranda Of the Gale Face
hotel, Colombo, in Ceylon.
A light hand touched my shoulder, and
barefooted Cingalese stood before me.
Would you like to buy some st0hesf'
he asked in his pleasant voice.
These pedd1ers Of gems are very nu-
merous in Ceylon and threaten to become
a nuisance to the traveller. They are not
allowed to enter the hotels, and once
saw one Of them actually beaten out Of
the Oriental in Columbo. Hence it was
that before addressing me my Cingalese
friend glanced furtively up and down
the long vermda to see that he was un-
observed by the minions Of the hotel.
He took from beneath his blouse a
bundle of white cloth, which he opened.
displaying about a pint of rubies, car
buncles, mOonstones and cats eyes. As
l had nothing to do, l looked through
them, after explaining to the sable mer-
chant that had no intention Of buying.
The collection must have been worth
many thousands Of dollars, judging Dy
individual specimens, but apart from his
merchandise the barefooted yender, cos
tune and all, might have been assessed
at about shillings .-Donahoe's Maya

An Afterthought.

The artist rested against tree, and
the blue-gray smoke gently arose from
his pipe and wrapped in its elinging ca
ress the leaves that took its fancy.
He was thinking Of his last visit here.
''We came here, and begged that
might put her in my picture. She con
sented, and soon it was done. But she
was the picture. This beauty was a
mere background. She had taken pos
session Of the canvas, and all else was
secondary to her there

years ago. All, 1 wonder did she care a
little: Has She quite forgotten that day.

emblem Of st. James the Great was

he was also beheaded-or a pilgrims

st. Johns emblem was a caldron. re-
feTring to his experience in the boiling

1t was a spear and cross, yet it is
known that he was hanged. st. Bar
tholomew, who was ''fayed aliye,s is
represented with knife and his skin
hanging over his arm. Matthew's en-
blem is a square, supposed to have some
reference to Christ's calling. st. Thomas,
having been pierced with a dart, is
pictured carrying spear. The emblem
