A Slippery Kettle Vender.

Such a man has given Skowhegan
housekeepers nothing for something. A
more successful swindler never visited
Skowhegan than the kettle vender who
recently drew the price of fancy article
which he promised to deliver the next
week which has never come. 1t takes a
slick talker to induce our smart women
to draw their purses In advance of de-
livery of the promised goods as in this
case. II the fellow Is still on the road
he must have rolled up quite bank de-
posit since leaving Skowhegan. Ladies',
there is nothing like confidence 10 such
sleek fellows for their success, but the
kettles never come. Stylish clothes,
with nimble tongue does the business.
Was he hypnotst?

THE MARKETS.


New York, Aug. 6.--The tone of the
stock market today continued very
strong and confident. The stream of
money flowing into stocks and bon Is
showed n steady augmentation. The
movement of the large concentrated
wealth which took the initiative during
the week continued. The two hours ses-
sion of the stock exchange was full of
business and the demand was eager for
a large list of stocks. The preference is
decidedly for the assured dividend paying
stocks as yet Tne Changers continued
the favorites, but Burlington fell slight
~ Into the background to make way
FOR st. Paul and Rock Island, the former
raising an extreme IL and the latter III.
Dealings In these stocks were very large
loo share blocks frequently changing
hands. Total sales were 23S, 100 shares.
