THE BRITISH MARKETS
Stocks Open Lively After the Easter Holidays.
Volumes of Business


LONDON, April 21.-The stock market
opened briskly after the holidays, but
the conclusion of peace between China
and Japan did little to sustain the mar
ket. The volume OF business during the
past week was moderate. Fears as to
possible European complications arising
from the japanese demands and the pros
pect of Japan proving successful COM
petitor with Europe for the trade of China
caused feeling of uncertainty. On the
whole, however. the tendency was rather
upward. The cheapness of money in
duced renewed buying of gilt-edged secur-
tiles.
The mining share stock market was in
active. but irregular.
American railroad securities attracted
plenty of attention, President Cleveland
letter encouraging the buying of good
bonds The advances were: Lakeshore

each "a; Wabash skies, 2; Atchison tours,
Denver preferred. Erie. Northern Pacific
and Norfolk and Western, and Union
Pacific and Wabash preferred, ~. The
others advanced fractonally.

Puget sound business.

The local board OF fire underwriters yes
terday ratified the action OF the Seattle
and Tacoma executive committees In Sc
lecting Tacoma as the permanent loca-
ton OF the surveyor for the Puget Sound
district. and II, Z. Parkhurst as sur
Veyor.
The advantage of the location of a
surveyor on the Sound is that when the
insured considers a rate too high, the
agent doing his business will not have
to wait until word can he received from
San Francisco whether the company will
consider a reduc ton. but can make appli-
cation 10 the local board at its weekly
meeting and the same will ne acted upon
within a few days. This means a saving
OF time of about three months in getting
a reduction OF rates. The change OF sys-
tenn. OF course. cannot nc effected IN two
or three weeks.

half hts time In Seattle and half in Ia
coma. is one Of the hest known and ablest
young men In the insurance business.
