How IL came about was this: 1 had eaten
a pretty fair dinner at my accustomed eat
ing place, which was on a principal thor
eughfare of New York, after fair day 5
work. and was on my way home, with in
tent to rest and be thankful.
From my accustomed eating place to what
1 call my home-in other words, the place
where 1 sleep-there are several routes,
and the route which took on that particu-
lar evening lay through bright and cheer
full street where there were boarding houses
and furnished apartments in plenty.
On a doorstep stood two young men in
evening dress with their overcoats open.
They had just come out of that door, for I
had heard it close the moment before, and
they were evidently celebrating about
something when came up
1.-THE right is more lucky" heard one of
them say.
The other said. "Who told you that? It's
always more luck to turn to the left. Don't
you know that much?"
Then they whispered Then one of them
dashed down at me like a hawk

make me their arbitrator in the question of

"Well," said the other one-a stocky
smooth-faced youth-"it's little out-of- the
way, perhaps ON so short an acquaintance
but the fact is, we want you to come in to

The young man who had first seized me
laughed and began making an apology for
his companions abruptness. All this was
before had recovered from my astonish-
ment enough to say anything
How do you know" 1 began, that 1 am
respectable enough? How do you know
anything about me? And, If 1t isn't an i'm

"Oh, that's all right" the stocky one
answered quickly. I'VE are old birds, you

New York, April 2S-Bradstreet's finan-
cial review tomorrow will say:
Speculation this week DEVELOPED narrow
and irregular tendencies. The easing of
the money market, large supplies of funds
and noticeable relaxation of the disposi-
ton to reject stocks as collateral had a
favorable influence, which was partially
overcome by the continued uncertainty
about the crops and the evident falling off
In the public interest The most significant
feature of the week was the decided ac-
tivity and strength of the bond list
The recent change in the savings bank
investment laws of New York and Massa-
chusetts, which opens the savings institu-
tions of these bonds, the bonds Of dividend
paying railroads, is to a large extent re-
sponsible for the most movement in ques-
ton. The abundance of funds for invest
ment and the temporary diversion of pub
lie buying power from stocks to the bond
list would seem also to be a factor in the
matter, the effect, as usual in such cases,
being to sustain the general range of
stock quotations. The market, however.
was of an irregular kind.
The Changers were neglected, and the
same applies to the Pacific stocks, while
the coal shares showed a tendency to ap-
preciate on the better earnings which are
said to be rewarding the companies and
the prospective issue of rights by the
Jersey Central. What are termed the
flower stocks, including Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, Peoples Gas and Federal Steel,
were the objects of renewed bullish manip-
ulation, and sugar refining though mac
tive, displayed great deal of strength
Anaconda Mining shares were feature,
advancing from So to 6Sa4 on the large buy
ing both here and in London. Otherwise,
London was not factor in our market,
though foreign interests were buyers OF
Louisville and Nashville, Southern Railway
pfd. and Norfolk and Western, selling at
the same time high-grade bonds at the
advances in that part of the market. The
sharp advance in the price of silver caused
not a little notice to be paid to the securi-
ties of the Mexican roads and Mexican
Central stock and bonds were conspicu-
ously strong, under good buying demand.
