pitied any human creature before. He

strange contradictory sensations Of
pleasure and pain. His arm steals
round her; he repeats his question in

 New York, March 1.-The Evening Post s London financial cablegram:
 In the absence of bad political news, the stock markets here continued steady today. The chief feature was the recovery in in- vestment stocks on the prospects of tenn porarily cheap money. Prices, however, closed under the best. notably Americans and Grand Trunks. Canadian Pacific was strongly bought for Montreal. Foreign stocks were firm on Paris buying. A Greek loan is expected next month. It is to be between 5,0e0.000 and 900 pounds, Of which 100000 are for Turkish indemnity. The interest is to be 2sa per cent. but the exact price is not yet known. Financial quarters here regard attentively your pur- chase of Brazilian warships.
 Gold is in less keen demand for New York. More was drawn from the Bank of France today. It Is understood that the institution is showing more willingness to part with its gold. Details of the gold movement for the week show the sale of 569OO0 pounds in American coin, the receipt of 1O6,OO0 pounds from Australia, of SO,OOO pounds from Austria and 5000 pounds from America.

Dry Goods

New York March 17.-There was an ap- preciable gain in the sales of cotton goods and perhaps a slight strengthening of the dry goods market over that of the early part of the week. These conditions are more marked in some quarters than in others, but 1t is evident that there are no added discouraging features to the market. it stands today. The tobbing trade re- ports continued spring trading and there Is a modicum of added demand on recorder for seasonable goods.

 New York opened quiet; demand dull. Commission houses bought moderately during early part of the session, which sus- tained prices temporarily, but when this demand was supplied the market decllned 8 to points under the influence of limited liuuidation. General dullness prevailed throughout the session, noon calls showing transactions of 51 900 bales, with prices to points under opening figures. The traders generally are disposed to await further de- yelopments in connection with Cuban situ- ation. although the outlook is more peace- ful than for the past week or so.

Now York, March 17.-Cotton prices were a shade lower today. The market was wholly without interesting features and such business as was done consisted largely of operations by the local scalpers.

An easier feeling developed shortly after the call under less reassurinS news from Washington and local liquida- tion, prices eased off 5@6 points.
 At no time, however, did the bear crowd take the aggressive, owing to the continued firmness of southern spot markets. Selling was also checked by favorable news from Manchester and the continent regarding yarns and cloths. Business was very light during the greater part of the morning and afternoon, but near the close the mafket became more active without showing de- clded leaning one way or the other, trans= actions in good part being for the evening up of accounts.
