FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
New York stock market.

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The week
opened with quiet condition of affairs
at the stock exchange. OF the bond de-
partment it can be said that the great
plethora OF funds is leading to q
rewakening of the interest on the part
of the financial institutions and indi.
vidual cspitalits who are dissatisfied
with the small returns afforded by the
loan market. Not only are the leading
issues dealt in at the stock exchange
improving in prices, but bonds which
are dealt in outside Of the exchange
proper are also in better request.
The fact tnat private bankers are
bringing out new loans attest the better
tone for investments. The dealings in
stocks, however, are confined almost to
the preferents. The rally which set in
after the publication of the return on
Saturday made further progress this
morning, and was assisted by moderate
purchases for London account. The
movement and were partially success
full. Prices advanced u to TX per
cent, General Electric, Sugar, the
Changers, Atchison, Lackawanna, Della
ware and Hudson and Western Union
leading. Subsequently Delaware and
Hudson broke suddenly from 3O4 to 90,
but the general list was not affected to
any extent. Whom Cordage broke 3S
the early buyers became timid, and
finally started in to unload. The result
was drop of az in Sugar, tx in Bur-
lington, l u in Lake Shore and u to
in other shares
There were vague rumors of a firm or
institution in trouble, but they could
not be verified up to late hour. The
strike of the Lehigh Valley employees
had little or no effect, outside of Read
ing, which closed with net loss of II a
point. The total transactions were
lG9, 600 shares, OF which ~ 900 were un
listed stocks. Speculation closed weak
in tone Railroad and miscellaneous
bonds were firmer and higher.

Curious Adventure OF Little Child In y
Furniture Van.

furniture Van.
The other afternoon, Just as the sun
was sinking beneath the housetops, a
tired, worn-looking little woman, car
rying baby of about eighteen months
in her arms, crossed over from the west
to the east side, and started up town.
Just as She reached the corner of
Prince street. she met u lady and gem
tleman, with whom She was evidently
acquainted, and the trio stopped and
began q conversation.
The baby was not only plump and
heavy for its age, but it was also cx-
trcinclY nervous and fidgeteu in the lit
tile mothers arms, like IL young angle
worm Just to the right of the party
and headed eastward on Prince street,
stood q large empty furniture van with
the rear gate down. Upon the tail
board of this van the mother of the
weighing youngster leaned, first on one
elbow and then on the other, shifting
the animated baby in her arms at each
change. Finally the conversation grew
more interesting, the baby more rest
less and the mother more fatigued,
until at last She placed the baby in the
van. This seemed to tickle the young
stcr immensely, for he at once settled
down into Il state as near that of
Quietude as it was possible for his live
ly disposition to allow him to assume.
So quiet did he become, in fact, that
the mother seemed to forget his pres
sence, and became still more deeply
engrossed in the animated CONVERSE
ton she was holding with her lady
friend.
Suddenly the sleepy driver of the van
awol1e to n realization of the fact that
he might as well be moving on, and,
gathering up his rcins, he popped his
whip. and, before the young mother re-
allied the situation, away went the
van. laundering along out Prince
street, with her dear little darling
bouncing about in it like an over
dressed rubber doll. Dropping the con-
versation. she cried out:
"Oh. my baby and dashed away in

GEOGRAPHICAL JOKE.
How Some Japanese Officials SiIenced a
French Emissary.

How Some Japanese Officials SiIenced a
French Emissnry.
The Japanese are very polite peo-
pie, but they sometimes like to play a
joke, in a roundabout, oriental wav,
upon the men of the west. In the DAYS
of the second empire Baron eros was
sent to Japan to demand the opening
of certain ports to French commerce.
Among the rest he named to the
Japanese ministers certain city.
The japanese functionaries smiled
SO broadly when he preferred the re-
quest that the French ambassador
asked them to tell him what gave them
so much amusement; but instead of
answering the Japanese ministers
said:
1--WE will open the port in question,
my lord, If France, in her turn, will
open certain port to u.s."
What port is that?" asked the
Frenchman.
1.-THE port of Liverpool
But, your exccllencies," laughing,
liverpool is not French port, but
an English one"
"Yes?" answered the japanese. "And
the port you named is not in Japan,
but in Corea."
The French ambassador was COM
PEELED to admit That the joke was upon
him. %
