ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-very large
amounts OF money found their way into
STOCKS and bonds today, and the apathy
anu depression which have hung over the
STOCK market during practically all this
month montn were completely dissipated. Even
sugar. which at the opening showed some
continued apprehension on the part of
holders regarding the formidable competi-
ton impending in the trade, yielded to the
influence and recovered more than its earfy
losses on very large transactions. Manhat-
tan resisted attack and rose with the gem
eral market. The late uneasness over the
future of the money market here complete
~ disappeared. 1t was early demonstrat ted
that the late leaders of the bull market
were to give place to others, the grangers
and other high-priced dividend stocks
meeting free offerings after a moderate
advance. The most conspicuous move
ment was in lower grade stocks with diyi-
dend reports, and the Pacifics were clearly
the leaders. They advanced in London be-
fore. the opening hour, and the New York
market took up the advance where the
London market left off. Northern Pacific
led the group, with an extreme advance
OF 3X, on enormous transactions. There
were no reactions of any Importance dur
ing the. day, and the closing was firm and
generally near top prices.
Bonds were strong and higher. Total
sales, $3,610 900.

After the minister left the cloakroom
one of the members said:
Did you ever talk to the minister
when his mind has been occupied with
business?" and without waiting for a
reply the member continued: "I did. l
met him soon after his return from
Mexico, and after we shook hands he
said:
How is your sister, Frank?"
She is well,' said
THE minister's mind then returned
to some business for five minutes and
then he said:
"'How is your sister, Frank?' and
as before, I replied that she was WELL
Five minutes later he raised his eyes
from some papers and remarked:
"'Oh, Frank, how is your sster?'
thought the conversation was becoming
rather monotonous, and to change it l
answered that she is very i'll.
Bless me, you don't say so; I am
sorry to hear 1t, Frank
He turned to his papers again for
another five minutes, and hang me if
he didn't turn around and say:
" Frank. how is your sister?' At first
l thought he was guying me, but, look
ing at him sharply l realized that he
had forgotten the conversation and l
answered sadly, She is dead
why. man, you don't mean it, he
exclaimed, jumping from his seat and
extending his hand in most SYM
pathetic manner, adding, That is
dreadful When did it happen? Tell me
all about it.
"'Why,' l replied, L killed her just
now. When 1 came into your office /
told you she was well twice; then !
told you she was very ill and that
didn't impress you. So for your bene-
fit have just killed her.
THE old man looked at me for a mo-
ment and then replied:

EYE LANGUAGE.
The Reason There Is a Constant
Meeting of the Eyes.

No part of the human courtenance
engages our attention so frequently as
the eyes, says the Popular Science
Monthly. When face to face in con-
versation, we do not look at the lips
although, as a rule, the attention is
very quickly taken by any movement
but at the eyes of the person with
whom we are speaking. So much is
this the case that the habit of many
deaf persons of watching the mouth
always strikes us as peculiar. In fact,
one usually feels that there Is a sense
of incompleteness in the association of
mind with mind by means Of conversa-
tion if there is not a continual inter-
change of glances making a kind of
running commentary on the words
spoken. The same may be said of or
dinary greetings when two people
shake hands; unless there is at the
same moment a meeting of friendly
looks the ceremony loses much of it's
meaning.
Now why is there this continual
meeting of eyes accompanying all
kinds of human intercourse? Partly,
no doubt, it is attributable to certain
habits of comparatively recent date.
The eye, "the window of the soul" is
a more truthful exponent Of the in
ward thoughts than the tongue and
seeing that speech is very frequently
used not to tell the thoughts, but to
conceal them, we look TO the eye for
confirmation of the reverse of what
our ears are taking in.
