For His Legs.

When Sir Francis Grant, the portrait painter, was at his zenith, he had hunt ing box at Melton. An inQuisiuve Scotch baronet was invited there for the hunt ing. Sir Francis had another guest, as 1t appeared, on a visit. He was a dull, fiat old man, who took snuff and looked the other way when the table talk ran on hounds and horses. The sight of a fox brush awoke no enthusiasm. He seemed to take no earthly interest in anything but his snuff and his meals. The Scotch baronet at last could contain no longer his excited curiosity. T say, Grant" he said, what motive have you in keeping MT. x. on visit? There are so many good chaps who would like to come down here just now. My fellow-guest does not seem to care a farthing for the things you are so keen on. The smell of fox s earth to-day made him quite sick. I find that he does not know the difference be- tween a thoroughbred and an Irish hunt CT, nor does he look person to fancy your potraits'
 You are puzzled, my dear fellow re- turned Sir Francis, ''to know why I keep him here. I brought him down for his legs" For what?'' For his legs You see. am doing full length of the Duke of Rutland (the late). He is weak in the knees and shrunk in the limbs and lazy. He will not be at the trouble of sitting for them. so have secured x. to sit: his legs are exactly like the Dukes. The poor fellow Is glad to earn a little money and to be out at grass here for short time London Truth

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Contrary to it's course for some weeks the stock market showed a pronounced decline on the days trading and this was opposed to the tendency abroad. London having bought some 9 900 shares, on balance. The volume of business was large. although not up to yesterday s record-breaking figures. The greater part of the business to-day was during the morning rise, while the afternoons decline was also accompanied by burst of animation. There was no change in the favorable tenor of the news marketwise, except that the Vanderbilt reports were not considered up to bullish ex- pectations. The regular dividends were de- clared on Vanderbilt stocks and American To- bacco Traffic reports were generally gratify- ing. Burlingtons surplus for November in creased nearly s2SS GOO, and the net increase of Northern Pacific for five months was over S293 000 While stocks were strong at the opening New York prices not up to those international paper, General Electric and some other industrials made neY high price records. The Grangers and Coalers were strong. The advance In the latter stocks. a great part of which was retained throughout, was per haps explained by a subsequent announcement that anthracite prices had been ordered ad- yanced at Buffalo and Chicago It became evident that there had been large realizing sales on yesterday's and to-dayfs bulees tn prices and traders attacked the general list with considerable success. Call money was advanced to per cent, but subsequently, it eased off to about yesterdays quotations. Sugar was weak. owing to the trade situation in the early dealings when the rest of the 3lsl WAS strong ana al the close was an eX- ception to the general weakness. Federal Steel early manifested weakness and late in the day assumed prominence in the reaction, offerings being on large scale.
 The bond market was irregular in spots. but active issues suffered somewhat in the late transactions. Total sales s7.46o OOO

portunities of throwing overooard seaisa et.sa bottles containing note Of the Iatltuue and longitude of the particular sput' along. with any other information' anu ieI rd questing that the finders should IQIWaIu same either to the American or Brltls1 authorities. Nothing has yet been hsato to of his half-doZen bottles so conslgheu to the deep on the last voyage or the Eclipse; but it Is somewhat curious that, immediately on Captain Mines return u Dundee this week, he should have re ceived one of number of messages thrown overheard by him during ms pre- vious cruise.
 On October 29, 1897, Captain Milne gave to the waves bottle containing the f3l- f3lo the finder. Please forward this to the Meteorological Office. London or Wash ington. Put over in latitude 63 degrees, Z2 minutes ue R0r TpgtEFd hs Edpss Ss then 210 miles to the north and fully more than that distance to the west of Cape rare well Generally saeaking g5d she b1afa was at as fas picked up on August by Angus Me fntyre between Barra Lighthouse and Hueskar Lighthouse, and not far rom t,Ia Ardmile Point. Instead of forwarding the message as requested, Mcintyre. Wno lives at Boisdale, South List. sent 1t on 10 Captain Milne at Dundee, ana the G1pa Tbo bottle in which the message was con. tained had drifted about 1oOV miles ere It found rocky resting place on ine aS' sllolf i7
 
 the water for nine months and some oay so that 1t had been borne along aI, as near as possible, five and hall miles d day. Perhaps the bottle might have peeh lying where 1t was found for a conslueI able time, but the possibility is that It was found soon after reaching the lslanqs
 In 1897 Captain Milne had sent 10 nm @nlIi from Norway similar message 10 that picked up at Uist. It was thrown over board from the Eclipse during the home ward voyage of 1896 at point as near as possible half way across the AtIantlC. Then again three years ago another Eclipse bottle was picked up at Egedes. munde. in Disko bay on the west coast as of Greenland. The curious thing about this message. however, was that was thrown overheard from the whaler when she was away to the south and east or Cape Farewell. This bottle must have been carried in northwesterly direction to double the promontory, and then north erly to reach Disko. Why one bottle con signed to the water to the west Of Cape Farewell should travel almost, due, east, and ultimately be picked up on the scotch coast, and another, thrown overboard to the southeast of the cape, should seek its way up the coast of Greenland Is mystery which only those well versed in the study of ocean currents may be aple to eXplain.-Dundee Advertiser.

SsSs tons This makes g. total delivery for two months Of S,6S0 tons, being an exceptionally small amount, so that the Colonial fuel now in yard amounts to but little, and besides all that can possibly arrive here prior to March next will not amount to 17.000 tons. This VII VIII insure full values for the first half of lSss. The total engaged tonnage route ana yet to load coal at Newcastle and Sydney TOT here foots up about s0000 tons capacity, in all thirty-three vessels; some of these will not arrive here before August next The latest esoied freight rates from Newcastle for coal are lss to lSs Sd per ton for immediate loading, and l6s Sd to 17s for March-April loading. These appear to be pretty stiff rates. but in the absence of a seasonable rainfall there is no reason for any reduction. as this is a very poor port to seek for any profitable freight busl- ness for the present.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.i- For the first if
 teen or twenty minutes of trading in wheat
 it looked as If the market in for a wild
 day of 1t. The bull sentiment carried over
 from yesterday was augmented by sharp early
 advances in the Liverpool and Paris markets,
 which caused shorts some anxiety and drove
 hesitating bulls to action. May started at 714

 But wise dealers who had been accumulating
 wheat for two weeks for just such a de-
 mand pounred in such quantities Of the cereal
 that the market broke with a crash. May be- ing driven back to 703sG7012c Under the flood of offerings. Later cables, however. continued to show strength and early figures indicated a decrease in the worlds visible supply. Before
 10:30 the market had quIeted down greatly
 Liquidation became insignificant and traders ! who still had faith in higher prices bought enough to cause a gradual improvement in the price. The visible figures proved disappoint-
 ment, showing moderate increase. In. the last hour S trading the market again became weak liquidation becoming quite heavy partly under the influence of late break in corn. May broke to 695sc. but before the close 1t rallied to 70$sc, and that the final price, 1.c below yesterday close.
 wheat. Cables were up sharply and this and
 the opening strength of wheat started the
 market irregular but strong. But general and heavy was the profit-taking that an inn
 mediate and sharp decline resulted. The mar
 ket later became quieter and stronger and part of the decline was recovered. May closed 12q 1sc lower.
 There was a fairly large trade in oats. with the market much more steady than wheat and corn. May closed a shade lower
 Trading in provisions was very large. The market in the main followed the trend of grain. opening strong and higher but closing lower and rather weak. It was a case of profit At the close May pork was l5c lower and lard and ribs 5c lower.
