A story going the rounds of society in
Budapest will illustrate the simple good
nature which makes the Emperor Francis
Joseph SO popular among all classes of his
often unruly subjects. Herr Sikel, Hun

ask for n post under government as the re-
ward of his services. Accordingly he called
on the premier and delicately preached the
subject. my dear fellow" exclaimed
Baron Bantfy, 81 should be delighted to
find you billet, but nobody over 40 can
be appointed to the civil service without
the express permission of the sovereign"
So Herr Sikel, DOMINIC the national
costume, hurried up to Vienna, went to
Hofburg, and after due preliminaries got
an audience of his king (Hungarians recog
nize no emperor). Ushered into the royal
presence, he slid his petition on to a side
table, and then stood overawed and dunn
founded for awhile, until Francis Joseph
inquired, "And what can do for you, my
friend?" Poor Sikel could only manage
to blurt out, "Your majesty, L should like
to be 40 years of age" "Ah, replied the
kaiser, land so should /. But glance

THE MARKETS.
Wall StreetRevIew

New York, Aug. N.-Today's market
was strong throughout and the upward
tendency of prices was practically unin-
terrupted by reactions. Anything like a
recession in the bids for stocks elected no
offerings and led to lull in the activity
which soon gave place to renewed buying
and a higher level of prices. Many in
active stocks were sought out and moved
in the market, all at notable gains. The
movement even touched some of the ex-
tremoly low priced almost discarded is
sues. The strength Of the market was
apparently based on q renewal of fun
confidence In the improving tendency of
general business Some of the railroads
are making good returns, but all are
showing increased earnings. Fuller re-
ports OF some western grain carrying
roads show that the total improvement in
their business is due in large part to the
movement of general merchandise west
ward than to the movement of grain east
ward and this is taken as an important
index of the Improvement in general bus
iress. The continued ease In the money
market in view of these evidences of
awakening industrial activity causes sur
prise, but cheap money is an incentive
to speculation. The break in grain was
regarded in the stock market as proving
the safety and abundance of the grain
crops and melted special activity in the
Granger shares The total sales were 375,-
113 shares.
