de dos enamorados.
Pero Luis era ell que amaba a Ele-
ma, no su amigo, que solo siguiende
la costumbre entire ellos establecida
de no separarse nunca, lie a~ompaila-

Luis estaba en- ell colmo de la ale.

En- cambio q Julio todo lie era in

El tenor de Luis desaparecio:

Luis, llevando un mundo de ilusio

una carta y lie djo:
-Seflorita, ruego a usted Sc digne

( New York. Sept. 30.-There was no
sign Of anything in to-day's stock mark
ct to give encouragement to the hope of
those who profess 10 believe that the
market had run its course as far as
reaction Is concerned, and Is ready to
resume It's upward course. The char
acter of the dealings did not differ In
any respect from those Of yesterday.
Prices were raided down with great ia
cility and the declines invited larger Of
ferings. The slight: rallies which. oc-
CURED a few times. on the contrary, led
to an almost total cessation of activity
and the upward courses of prices was
hating and difficult. The net decline
achieved to-day Is very much greater
than that Of yesterday, only because the
bears reserved their greatest efforts for
the last half hour, of trading, leaving no
opportunity for recovery before the
close. This was apparent owing. to an
excess of confidence on the part Sfithe
bears, who were content to leave their
short contracts uncovered over night
instead Of realizing Immediately. The
market continued almost wholly profess
sional and the dealings seemed to be
confined to the room traders except
where the sharp declines uncovered or
der5 placed to stop losses. These were
In large volume and aided materially in
the decline. A feature of the day was
The reversal of the position of, oberat tors
for the London accoGnt. who were stlf=

lower and this was said to be due to n
resumption of the selling there for New
York account, which was so persistent
