In womanly force and decision where her

hope for the situation is expressed IN the
following letter, which was recently re-

tainly would not have read it, for L think
il the saddest ending that l have struck
with In any book for quite while. All the
more sad because of the power with whlch
the book is written and the scenes de-
scribed.
"The book ends so unsatisfactory, that L
cannot help but feel that the gifted au-
thoress must intend to write sequel In
which all things will be set right, and take
the liberty of writing to ask if this Is the

If Miss Johnston were like Anthony

of her readers. OF course, in many IN

a feeble affair and only succeeds in marring
what was possibly a perfect previous
effort.
To take the instance of the author just
mentioned, Anthony Hope, this Is not true.
'efhe Prisoner of Zenda," as a perfect piece
of literary work peculiarly justified
sequel, and it is question in many minds
whether Rupert of Hentzau" is not equally
as good a piece of work. Certainly 1t is as
popular. In prisoners of Hope" had God
wyn died, the story would have been equally
sad, but more just, more satisfying to the
reader; had the story eliminated in
happy climax, the eternal Verities would
have been outraged and the artistic force
and power of the book destroyed. So that
nothing remains to the author to give to ad-
miring and anxious readers but sequel In
which she may again take up the lives ana
destinies of these two lovable characters
and present them to readers without, in
any sense, marring the perfect connection,
unity and artistic presentment of her first
published work, prisoners of Hope.

About the only feature in today's market was the unprecedented dullness, sales up to noon being only 1000 bales. Prices were unchanged from the previous close. Trad ing was confined principally to New York crowd. and very little outside business was done The average operator at the present time appears to be on the fence, and is not disposed to take any decided stand on either side of the market, awaiting future advices from the seat of war and crop ad- vices.

 New York June 6.-Tne stock market started this morning with every appearance of Saturdays brisk upward movement be- ing continued. London was buyer here at the opening even at the higher level over the London parity. Rumors abroad of an approaching movement by Spain for peace helped Americans in London. The heavness of government bonds was due to the conviction that an additional issue will soon be authorized and uttered. The brlsk upward movement at the opening was checked by several developments. One of these was the rather emphatic disclaimer on behalf of Burlington officials of any immediate purpose to project refunding plan Another well defined conviction on the part of professinal speculators was that Union Pacific preferred would soon begin the payment of dividends at the rate Of 4 per cent. This was met today by the strong semi-of1icial intimation that the div idend rate might for the present be only 8 per cent.
 These two developments constituted drag on two very important elements in the market When London saw that the ad- vance here was not maintained 1t turned from buyer to seller.

Net gains are thus made to predominate in spite of the weakness at home points, which was emphasized by the falling off in the east-bound tonnage from Chicago and disappointing traffic re- turns from some prominent railroads.
