FINANCIAL.

LONDON STOCK ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
Oct. 1.-The stock exchange last week
was almost at a StandStill owing to the
suspense regarding the Transvaal situa-
ton. A few remain who have not given
up hope, but the general impression pre-
walls that the sooner hostilities begin the
better it will be, for the suspense is kill
ing business and depressing prices. Bust
ness was best. perhaps. in Americans
West Australians have been practically
paralyzed for two months. within which
time, according to the Banking Magazine
the value of 800 representative securities
have deprecated to the amount of mil
lions sterling. while it is iDF->t sSible to
say whether the bottom ..1s yet been
touched. In some ou"s-.rs the theory
obtains that the effect of hostilities has
already been discounted by the fall in
from the actual encounter. but from the
present status of money the market will
take a still further tumble before there
is a recovery. Consols touched 1O4A, the
lowest figure in several years. Many
other gilt-edged securities were down Y to
point Americans are suffering from
the same cause, as well as from realiza-
tons and New York selling, owing to the
rise in money. The fall in most cases
was from Il to u per cent. Money was
unsettled the market being convinced
that the Bank of England rate will rise.
The rate charged till Monday was ~ Der
cent; on call money. 4 to Az, and on three
months bills, IA to AZ.

"sWAGGER STICKS"
Wheedled Away From Canadian
Redcoats as Summer Souvenirs.

Whecdled Away From Canadian
Redcoats as Summer Souvenirs.
Cincinnati Enquirer
According TO official returns about 1000
American lassies have visited Nova Scotia
this season, and most of these. coming or
going. it is safe to presume, have touched
at Halifax for Il longer or shorter time,
as may be Among the treasures of
these lasses will be found unless the
reader OF feminine nature has gone all
astray-a short stick, silver of nickel
tipped end ferruled. This is the famous
',swagger'' stick of Tommy Atkins, who,
as one Of the citadels defenders, brave
| .einster, guards the official of high de-
gree who are unmarried and eligible
from the attacks of feminine inVasons.
Tommy Atkins without a swagger would
be like a Chinaman without q queue,
and these little sticks are just the final
touch needed to inspire the onloOker with
becoming feelings of awe as TO Tommy S
martial nien.
With his scarlet cap, about the size of
a wafer, one glove on and one off, and
the short sWagger stick which he tWirls
by times, tiercery sentimentally, CO.
quettishly, as circumstances may de-
mand, Tommy is by no means an I'M
pleasant sight. Proud is the girl who,
by bribery or cajoling, has induced Tom
my to part with his sWagger stick, when
she exhibits it to her chums, who have
not been sent to Halifax, and prouder
vet when those who have been there are
conscious of their own shortsightedness
in not noticing this very important part
OF Tommy Atkins attire.

SLOT GAS METERS.
Penny Machines Have Proved a Sue
cess in England

Penny Machines Have Proved q Sue
cess in England.
The nny-ir-the-sIot gas meter intro
duced from Liverpool by the South Met
ropohtan Gas company three or four
years ago has been an astonishing sue
cess, and further development Of the
idea is now being tried. II has been q
success, at any rate, SO far as the at
talnment oil a wide popularity may be
considered to constitute success, though
it is understood that the gas light and
coke company does not find it pay. On
the other side of the water it rays very
We'll, and they have nearly 10000 custom
ers, and are adding to them at the rate
OF 200 or 400 a week. These are all penny
customers, and they bring into the COM
Qany's eNchequer somewhere about e20J,-
600 year, so that this development has
done much TO neutraiiZe any injury the
electric light may have inflicted. SO sat
is1ied is the company with the result of
its new departure that it Is now getting
out ''shillingin-t he-slot'' and "half-
croWn-in-Jhe-slot" meters for customers
cut or two above the penny people
One great advantaSe the cornp4ny has
in this system is, of course, that there is
no trouble and no difficulty in getting in
money. No penny, no gas, IS the prin-
ciple, and it will be the same with the
shilllings and the ha!f-croWns though
these at present are only in the expert
mental stage.
