New YORK, March 2.-The share specu-
lation today was active and the movement
of prices irregular. Sugar reached the
largest total of any individual stock, and
large volume of business was done in to.
bacco, but as class the dealings in the
railroad stocks exceeded those in the indus
trials by considerable amount. Marked
depression in prices was noted at the OPEN
ing. Western Union was depressed an eX-
treme Ia per cent, on the theory that the
bankruptcy of the Baltimore and Ohio
would result in throwing that stock upon
the market. On the strength of denials of
the probability of such contingency rally
of per cent from the lowest was made.
The general list suffered to the extent of
H@l% per cent, the international shares,
grangers and sugar, being most prominent.
The reactionary movement was soon
checked, and large part OF the loss WAS
recovered. The market then again reacted
on renewed firmness in the sterling ex-
change market. A revival of strength was
noted toward midday on foreign and local
buying and covering by shorts. The i'm
provements were most important in
Grangers, Louisville and Nashville and a
few of the specalties. The general mar
ket proved superior to the weakness in the
tobacco. but developed weakness in the
final hour and sold off on liquidation infiu.
enced by the anticipation of prompt action
by the house on the Cuban belligerency
resolutions. Speculation left off weak in
tone, although the final prices as a rule
showed but slight declines as compared
with last weeks closing figures.
Railway bonds were moderately active,
with wide fluctuations in few issues. The
Northern Pacifics were exceptionally strong
and active and good support was evident
in Atchison issues.
Government bonds displayed decidedly
increased activity at expense of values.
The declines, however, were not material.
The aggregate sales were $503,0OO.

WHISTLES ALL DAY

MOT many years since the musical
Ncapacity of feminine puckered lips
first burst upon the astonished and lis ten
ing world of moderns. Until that labial
discovery the old-time saying that
"whistling girls and growing hens are
sure to come to some bad ends" was ac-
cepted to be as true as 'thirty days hath
September" Since then audiences have
sat enchanted while young women imi-
tating the skylark have whistied roulades
and cadenzas and "tema con variatione"
ad lib. True it is in all lines that the
championship is an uncertain possession
and just now the best whistler in San
Francisco is not lady, but is one of
Uncle Sans letter carriers who whistles
in the streets, in corridors and offices and
would un nioubtedly whistle at lunch and
when he is asleep If he were not otherwise
engaged. Two years ago the ease with
which he could whistle high and low
notes was observed. Since then he has
practiced on the average at least eight
hours per day and has acquired tones
which might easily be mistaken for the
reedy clarionet or the woody flute and his
repertoire has widened until it takes in
everything from "Old Dan Tucker to a
fnrid paraphase of 'Semiramide" and the
prize Song from der Meistersinger,
varied with 1.-TWO Little Girls in Blue''
and some recent tunes. This whistling
letter-carrier is Que of the best-known
characters in the area which he traverses
daily. When he is not whlstling on his
rounds he sings, but his vocal efforts are
confined to houses and are not for street

WHITE GIRLS OR CHINESE AS SERVAnTS7

ary tells US it is ungodly. Perhaps it is,
but why not accord white girls at least
equal rights in the field of lahorP There
might not then be so extensive China

Quite apart from the question of busi-
ness rivalry between white laborers and
Chinese and more humiliating to white

into daily contact with these heathen and
made in measure subservient to them.
Ny first experience in this line was COM
paratiyely mild. Entering a luxurious

take charge of her young infant. II have

AN UNCOMMON BOY

TJERE is a street occurrence which
/ i shows that true gallantry and fine
feeling is not entirely a thing of the past.
1t was about 10 O'Clock when we'll
dressed, manly little chap came along
and boarded the dummy of a Geary- street
car that was standing on the turntable.
He was within five feet Of the baskets of a
number of flower merchants. little girl
in charge of an old lady, both of them
very poorly dressed, stopped near the
baskets and looked longingly at the
punches of fragrant color.
tOh, can't have some flowers? ?" asked
the child but the old lady sadly shook
her head, after examining Iean-looking
purse. "Please only little bunch; just
this time," pleaded the little child; but in
vain.
They moved slowly away while the
little boy on the car went through his
pockets. All he could find was 10-cent
piece He looked at it several moments,
and was once on the point of putting it
back in his pocket. then quickly jumped
off the car and exchanged it for bunch
of flowers.
The little girl looked back and wanted
the flowers more than ever. Before she
could realize just how it all happened the
boy ran forward and pressed the flowers
into her hands. There was no time to
refuse them or even to stammer out
thanks, for the boy quickly turned and
started to walk home out Geary street.

of regret and CONSERVATION to the dis

his hours of sleeping and wailing this sole

All this would have been amusing if it
had not been wearisome. 1t left me no
leisure at best, and now l silently took up
the edusting-cloth. while the washing waited
and the cherub squirmed threateningly IN
his carriage. Having impressively incul-
Gated the principles of charity and sub
missiveness milady passed on to the
kitchen, where she praised the slovenly
cook to the skies. Much gratifed, he con-
fided to her his longing to visit his native
land and his fears OF being unable to return
TO this country under the existing laws.
In answer I heard her say: ''Oh, that's all
right. You shall come back to us, Charlie.
My husband is a lawyer. you know. He'll
fix all that for you" And conscious of
having lightened fellow-mortal's burden
she resumed her easy-chair and ordered
the baby brought to her for inspection.
