NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York March 5.-The undertone Of
frmness in the market to-day and it's
stubborn resistance to the rather dis
couraging tone reflected from Europe
were notable features The day opened
with a decline, due to the alarm mani
tested on the London and continental
bourses. over the threatening aspect of
the Cretan question and to sales for
London account of international shares.
This decline was soon checked, however.
by quite strong buying movement
coming through commission houses and
apparently for investment account The
natural disposition Of the market seemed
to be to rise and to wipe out the decline
of yesterday.
Much the same influence contributed
to the rise as early in the week, the
Vanderbilts being in excellent demand.
New York Central especially was strong
on the belief that it would ultimately
benefit from a refunding operation similar
to that just concluded by Lake Shore.
The shares rose 134 to 98 Lake Shore
gained 2A and North West and Omaha
rs each.
The Industrials showed strength and
had apparently quite recovered from
alarm over President McKinley's anti
trust utterances. This encouraging
progress of events was retarded about
l 80 O'Clock by movement to take profits.
The continued sales of London orders
added to the weight on the market There
was also in the minds of the traders
some expressed uneasiness to hear some
more explicit and authoritative announce
ment of the new Presidents Cuban
policy than has yet been given and to
wait for this development
The demand for high grade mortgages
continue unabated and to-day's market
witnessed material gains in a variety of
these issues. The speculative issues
were also in favor and moved up slightly
despite the free offering for continental
account The sales were $1,476000.
Governments were in good demand, and
hardened slightly on purchases of $1S5,-
900.

Queen Willelmina.

1T is impossible to realize that the

years of age, " said one of the clubwo-
men yesterday. Like the little king Of
Spain, she is expected to remain child,
but in less than a month she will have
completed her seventeenth year, and in
another twelvemonth she will begin
her reign Already husband for her is
being discussed, indeed may even be
chosen. The very stately official, speak
ing English with dignified deliberation,
who showed us over the gloomy palace
at Amsterdam few weeks ago spoke
Of her majesty as young lady He told
us that he had seen her grow up, as he
had been IL years an employee Of the
palace. The little queen lives most of
the time at The Hague, but is obliged
to spend some portion of the year at
Amsterdam. The sojourn generally lasts
but four days, and when one has seen
the ugly. gloomy palace one is not sur
prised to hear it is not favorite place
Of living. The old arsenal in Central
park is as stately and elegant on the in

wide boarded and somewhat dilapidat-

ed that the rooms were dismantled at

regent standing beside her - New

WRITING A STORY.

Mona, how pretty they always read,
The stories out of the bedtime book
The best liked was THE Daring Deed
About the terrible risk he took
Mona, put the book on the shelf
b'lieve I'll write a story myself
They re as easy to write rs they are to read,
Stories like those in the bedtime book,
And I'll call mine THE Terrible Deed
And have it a daring risk that he took,
And while tell it you will write,
And Well have the story finished tonight
No. don't feel sleepy at all,
And I'm plenty warm with my arms out so
And We'll say the man was very tall,
And he and his horse were lost in the snow,
And then at his door he knocks and knocks,
And Well say that the man has craven locks
"(Nona, I'll thank you not to say
That am drowsy, and all like that.)
And the man kept knocking and knocked all
day.
mona, what are you laughing atg)
And he was hungry and cold and mad,
For the weather was stormy and very bad.
'Then in the darkness he saw a light,
And he followed it, and he fercely strobe,
And through the forest and through the night
1t brought him home in a turn of the road
Twas the stable door where he'd stood and
Stood
For the house was farther on in the wood.
Now is it finishedp Let me see
I'm getting so-tired-that forget
But I'm wide awake as can bel

And remember-the light-was-down the

And-the man-with he-craven-locks-he

And the terrible risk that the hero took.

Glass Umbrellas.

1t is rumored that before long glass
umbrellas will DO in general use-that
is, umbrellas covered with the new
spun glass cloth. These, of course, will
afford no protection from the rays Of
the sun, but they will possess one obvi-
GUS advantage-namely, that they can
be held in front Of the face when meet
ing the wind and rain, and at the same
time the user will be able to see that
he does not run into unoffending indi-
viduals or lampposts. But what say the
lovers-the seaside holiday lovers-who
are to be seen on every beach round the
coast, with their backs to the cliff or
handy boat, an unfurled old style UNI
brella in front Of them, leaving nothing
to the gaze of the inquisitive save the
soles at their four shoes? Surely they
will revolt against the Innovation

In telling folks where they were wrong
And though wealth they secure while he yet

Plain rules he can state to get rich while you

But he borrows dime where he can,
While the whole world is told how it might
