CLOSING PRICES OF CHICAGO STOCKS.
ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

Thursday. August Up. IN.
The stock market appears to be In condition for
advance. and perhaps II some OF the big
leaders were In town to take hold OF the trading
there might be big bull boom. When the vaca-
ton season is over. when foreign exchange has
eased. and the crop yield has been determined
prices will undoubtedly be on a better level than
now, but the market is already In condition
which only needs such factors to send IL up
General conditions have been such that the mar
ket has made no important concessions during
the summer and attempts by the bears to lower
prices have been unsuccessful. There have been
little bull movements and little bear movements
throughout the summer. but they have been in
significant and mere exhibits Of the changes Of
professional trading. To-day's market was
purely professional and similar to that OF many
days OF the present season. Prices at the open
ing were higher. and most stocks continued the
advance begun before the close OF business yes

leading stocks traded in. Chicago Gas and
Sugar Refining were the most active stocks, and
the Industrial list took the lead In point OF activ
ity which has recently been held by the Granger
shares United States Cordage securities made
the most conspicuous advances. their gain being
due presumably to the success OF the regular Re
organization Committees plan. which has been
declared operative. The committee has received
a majority Of the outstanding bonds and more
than seventy per cent Of the guaranteed, pre-
ferred and common stock OF the company. The
common stock advanced from the opening at IN
to 3h the preferred from 2M to 8. and the guar
anteed from AZ to lON. Closing prices OF me
securities were lower. Distilling and Cattle
Feeding advanced. despite efforts OF the Green
hut-Morris interests to get return OF some STOCK
deposited with the Reorganization COMMITTEE.
The Granger shares were lower on pron'-
taking sales and the general railway list was
irregular and unsettled. Northern PACING com.

 While willow pattern china was being sold he discovered curious piece of polished, crooked mahogany lying be tween soup turcens and gravyboats. On picking it mp and scanning it closely his first thought was, What n curious paper knife!
 What is it?" asked an inquisitive old lady as he tucked it behind pile of plates.
 The wooden wonder was brought to light again Its an old fashioned wood en butter knife" said she. I've seen 'em afore this. Don't you know, in old times, it wasn't everybody as had silver, and mahogany knives for butter was put on the table for big folks. We folks each used our own knife"
 What is it:" asked still older lady.
 "A colonial butter knife" replied the doctor with an air of antiquarian lore. "A butter knife! No such thing" an swrred this lady. My grandfather had one just like this. and it's a pruning knife. He wouldn't use a steel knife cause it poisoned the sap" 1 The auctionvrr at last took it ill hi: hand. looked at it with puzzled expres sion and cried:
