There was a better feeling in the market

There was better feeling in the market
yesterday. Prices, although subject to
Irregularities, tended upward all day, and
at the close there had been an advance
over the opening of point or more on
the average. Many people were express
ing the opinion during the last hour that
the turn for the better has come. and
that today and tomorrow will see a con-
tinuance of the upward tendency. The
day was more interesting than has been
usual recently. news of various kinds
coming out from hour to hour 10 in
fiuence the tone Of speculation. None of
it was of large Importance. however. The
bull influences in this market are the bet
ter feeling in money, the good price for
wheat and the fine crops, the consequent
certainty of good business for the gran
gers, and the reawakening of interest in
the American securities in London The
only bear argument is that of the uncer-
tainties in the elections. This is not
as good an argument as those for higher
prices The immediate influences on the
market yesterday were the increase in the
earnings of Burlington. the turn in the
tide of speculation in the industrials, and
the purchase of considerable blocks OF
American stocks in London.

London was a continuous buyer of the
Union Pacific and other Americans yes
terday and although business was linn
tied. the tone of the market with refer
ence to the American securities was no.
ticeably good There was an advance in
these stocks of from an eighth to a half
above the American parity. Some OF the
buying of the Union Pacific securities was
for Continental account. 1t is believed by
persons having foreign connections that
the people on the other side are getting
over their war scare with regard TO these
stocks and that they will soon buy back
a large part of what they sold when
America declared war on Spain.
The Central of Georgia net earnings
for August increased 5000. From July

Tobacco and it's fluctuations had much
to do with the movement in the general
market yesterday. There was in the ear
lier trading a tendency to continue the
attack on the stock The price was forced
down to 125 the lowest in this movement.
Even at the opening of the market, how
ever, there was noticeable feeling on
the part of many that the decline had
gone far enough, and very soon this re-
suited in heavy realizing by the people
who had sold the stock fifteen or twenty
points above Nearly all day after that
the price advanced. The statement was
made again that the deal with the plug
| tobacco concerns will be consummated
| within few days, and with 1t the as
| surance was given that there will be no
| issue of new bonds or stocks to pay for
| the Drummond Company. 1t Is possible
| that this may have had some weight, de-
| spite the fact that the same statement

The Origin of Kew Gardens,

Courlers could be dispatched to the ends
of the land for tho queens floral bouquet,
but meanwhile she had to wait, unless
some obscure owner of choice plant came
forth to sacrifice her possession to the
qualification of her ruler. Queen Eliza
beth received many such voluntary con-
trlhutions of flowers from her subjects,
but the uncertainty of tho time, manner
and quality of the flowers was irritating
to n queen of the English. In the winter
the wild flowers of the fields n gardens
withered, ard the flower loving queen felt
the loss more kecnly than those less fa,
vorcd with tho fortunes of life. With the
wealth of an imperial nation at her hack,
she could not the choice of flow.

Out of this royal necessity grew the most
famous garden of the world. With her
own hands Queen Elizabeth laid out the
grounds that We're to produce and fructify
the flowers for her drawing room. She
started to raise flowers for herGwn person
al qualification and ended by producing
flowers and plants for the millions. No
single desire OF an i%nlrrtuous queen ever
yielded better fruit. On Queen Eliznhcth's
