THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Sept. 9.-There was further
drastic liquidation in the stock market
today at an expense TO prices OF stocks
of between 81 and 81 per share In great
many cases. disappointment over the
fixing OF the st. Pau dividend at only "a
per cent. continued the prevailing infiu-
ence and no attention was paid to Ia
vorable developments or TO the indica-
tions of an easier condition in money.
There was a short lived period OF firm
ness to prices early in the day on a de-
mand to cover some of the shorts put out
yesterday, but the advance in prices was
met by continued heavy offerings and ~
noon the movement to throw over stocks
was in full force again and prices were
tumbling throughout the list. Early
gains in n few special cases were almost
completely wiped out. The distinctly
easier tone of money in the afternoon
brought little recovery in prices aside
from that due to covering by the room
traders. The total sales were $4,000
shares.

spare Moments,
There is a girl in London who tells this
story on herself. She is a jealous mem
ber of the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals. Seeing in the street
one day a cab driver cruelty maltreating
his horse, she went up to him, and show
ing her badge, demanded his number.

Now Preston had heard in his youth
that when attacked by butting ram

brute to go away. He decided to try the
plan. but he made the mistake of his
life He had barely fattened himself

The village Of Kemoka, where Pres

dreariest spots on the continent during
the long winters that then prevailed.
It was deep in that forest that gave q

the settlers who patronized the store,

Letters from home were naturally the
greatest source Of pleasure to these
lonely people. yet many were so poor
that it was impossible for them to pay
these fees. Letters that were not re-

the Office, and it was no unusual sight
to see some of the unfortunaees to whom
they were addressed gazing at them
with hungry eyes Sometimes they rec

disappointment was all the more bitter.

After unstrapping his skates he start
