large degree from the influence of SUI
gar, Tobacco and such like uncertain

Sugar in to-day's market could not but
have a rather unsettling effect. Quota
tons were almost lost at the Sugar post
at the opening and were recorded all
the way from 125 down to 124. Before
noon the price was quoted at 119 and
again before the close it went back to
124 The early decline was based on
the fall in the loaning rate, which was
taken to indicate the conclusion of tho
squeeze against the shorts, and the sub
sequent recovery came with the an

necessarily some sympathetic influence
ON the general list.
The railroad list generally showed q
tendency to drag and recent leaders were
sustained at a level above Saturday
prices with difficulty, in spite of the
additional advantage of some very strik-
ing gains in usually inactive stocks.
Finding the difficulty of moving the re-
cent leaders, speculation showed a ten
dency to turn to the lower priced stocks.
The Southwestern railroads were most
conspicuous. In addition the Flint and
Pere Marquette stocks moved up two
points each, Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf advanced an extreme 2B, touching
1G7. The Pittsburg and Gulf bonds also
showed marked strength. In the Indus
trial list conspicuous gains were achleV-
ed by the National Biscuit stocks, Spirits
preferred. the International Paper
stocks, Linseed Oil and Manhattan. The
Changers and the Pacifics and the iron
and steel stocks showed an increasing
heaviness as the day progressed, and
some fell below Saturdays close, while
none of them show net gains of more
than fraction.
The money market was active and
firmer to-day, and some apprehension is
felt of Il future rise in rates. Atchison
adjustment bonds continued to lead the
bond market, and there was notable ac-
tivty in Wisconsin Central firsts, which
declined 13s. and in Texas and Pacific

HOLSTERS Deep in the Sand.

There is one fisherman here who has
a profound belief in what might be
called the homing instinct in Holsters.
He will never sell spawn Holsters, al
though he could get So apiece from
the fish commission for their purposes,
but puts every one back as nearly as
possible in the place where he found
it. He believes that Holsters Matched
from spawn that is left undisturbed
will always return to their native spot.
The lobster is not so migratory as
people think, he says. In digging
deeply in clam beds he has found lob
sters that have burrowed for the
winter, and it is his opinion that in
stead Of going off into the sea upon
the approach of cold weather Holsters
prefer to go into deep holes in the
bay, and there await the return of the
warm season.-Portland (Me.) Argus.

editors will read a manuscript from
AL unknown author and accept it if it

known authors that can sell poor
stories. But with plays it is different.
The managers will not read a play

"Come, sir, that is very serious

not even glance at it."
"How can you possibly be certain
of that fact?"
Easily, again. I sent it by ex-
press, tied it with cords and sealed
each knot. When it came back to me
the seals were intact. the managers

=
Others Adopted as Symbols.
1t is interesting to note the various
emblems adopted by parties in various
countries. Probably the most popular
emblem nowadays is the primrose of
April 19. On the day of Parnelrs
death his followers wear a sprig Of ivy.
Jacobites sport oak leaves on Royal
Oak day, May 20, and ever since the
birthday Of James ILL.,, in 1888, they
have worn white roses on June 10.
Red carnations are also a Jacobite en-
blem. In France Orleanists wear white
daisies, and followers Of the house of
Bourbon Giles Blancs d'Espange) wear
white carnations. The violet was the
Bonapartist emblem, and many duels
were fought over the little blue flower.
Admirers Of General Boulanger used
to wear red carnation always in their
buttonholes, Nowadays anti-Semites
in Algeria have taken the cornfower
as their badge, but in Austria this party
always wears white carnation. The
cornaower was the favrrite flower of
the old Emperor Of Germany, and loyal
Germans used to wear punches Of It
in his honor. White daisies are tho
flower OF the queen Of Italy (Margue-
rite OF Savoy, and when she goes to
visit town the streets are always full
OF boys selling nosegays Of that flower.

WINGS ON THESE BULLETS.
Rotary Motion to he Given In Smooth
BOres without RifiinE.

Bores without RihinE.
The usual way Of imparting a rotary
motion to bullet, and thereby max
ing 1t steer true course through the
air, is to make it smooth and to fire
It from a rifled barrel. Martin S. CAL
vert, an Englishman, proposes to try
to attain the same end by making the
bore smooth and putting wings to the
shot. These wings lie close against
the bullet until 1t leaves the muzzle.
Then they expand, and, by their action
on the air, produce the necessary rota-
ton Of the shot. The inventor claims
that he secures many advantages over
the system at present In vogue. One
Is higher speed, and therefore harder
hitting, because there is less friction
in the gun barrel, but he appears to
take no account Of the friction between
the wings and the air after the gun
barrel has been deserted by the bullet.
Other advantages claimed are that his
system keeps the gun cooler. gives 1t
less recoil, and makes the trajectory
much latter for any given range, and
also enables shorter, and, therefore,
lighter guns to be used. He also claims
increased range for the winged shot,
partly on account Of the higher muzzle
velocity which they attain, and partly
because the wings support the weight
of the projectile to some extent while
1t is moving through the air. The in
vention is applicable to guns Of all
sizes, from small bore fowlins pieces
to the heaviest cannon, and for all
kinds of shot, including grape and
canister. Any form Of explosive Or
dinarily employed can be used, but the
inventor prefers cordite. The winged
shot can be very easily made, and
could be turned out by plants already
existing.
