GLADSTONE AND RUSKIN.

The story was frequently told of the
first meeting of Gladstone and Ruskin.
Ruskin had held the great statesman in
adherence. but when he first saw him
he was charmed. Nevertheless the two
were too Numerically opposite in char
acter to be intimate. and in conversation
they differed at every point. This story
is related of one conversations:
Gladstone and Ruskin were always at
opposite poles on nearly every question,
and nothing could be at once funnier and
more embarrassing than Il meeting be-
tween them. There. is said to have been
an absolute contrast at every point on
which conversation could conceivably
turn. AT one time Walter Scott was up
permost Here, indeed, it was thought
was common ground but Mr.. Gladstone
unfortunately dropped the remark that
sir Walter had made Scotland" On Mr..
Ruskins inquiry as to the meaning of the
phrase Mr. Gladstone began telling of the
amazing contrast between the means of
communication in Scotland before Sir
Walter wrote compared with the present
day. mentioning the number of coaches
that were now conveying masses of hap
py trppers up and down the Trossachs.
Mr.. Ruskin's face had been deepening
with horror. and at last he could bear il
no longer But. my dear sir he broke
out. THAT is not making Scotland; 1T is
unmaking IL.

today. presented all the characteristics OF
genuine reaction. Last weeks sharp res
coyery very largely eliminated the short
interests. The forced liquidation Of pros
fits had been mostly completed during the
previous decline. The market was thus
free to great extent from technical In
fiuences and in condition to respond to
the prospects for general business IN the
country. Its failure to do SO, Yesterday
was attributed to the unsettling influence
of the slump in Sugar.
The bears were evidently tiMid about
continuing their campaign further
against Sugar and were inclined to cover
so that this influence towards reaction
was removed. Nevertheless. the market
dropped heavily towards lower basis
with one or two exceptions In the list.
and closed only barely steady at a level
generally l per cent. below last nights
level. :.
The demand for stocks was very small
all day and prices went down easily un-
der comparatively light offerings. The
sharpest break In the market was COIN
cident with the marking up of call loans
