BY Darlington & Cusack.

New York, July 22.--Thc market opened
strong at from Il to Il per cent. advances
London was strong and higher. News
was generally bullish and commission
houses had buying orders. The market
was very dull all day but showed strength
until the bank statement came out
which was not nearly as good as expect
ed and the market sold off from that
time, closing at the low point of the day
The present market is certainly a re-
markable one showing so much strength
and at the same time being so dull and
transactions 50 small. The natural re-
suit of a dull market almost always
causes a decline and the present condi-
tiOn would indicate that we are still
likely to have an active summer market
with pronounced advance in some stocks.
The fall of 1899 will see some unprece-
dentcd bulges In stocks. Iron stocks we
have 50 often advocated the purchase of
we believe will be the leaders. The earn
ing powers of the Federal Steel company,
American Steel and Wire, Tennessee Coal
and Iron company, can scarcely be estt-
mated, and while we know that the cap
italizations of these companies is very
high we believe that their earning capital
Is so great at the advanced prices of iron
that they will pay dividends which will
surprise the most optimistic believers in
the stocks. Federal Steel common is
likely to eclipse anything we have seen
in Sugar or Tobacco.
After the decline of yesterday wheat
showed that it still had friends, opening
a cent and being strong through the day
at these prices it certainly is a purchase
for a handsome advance.

THE FRENCH SUBMARINE BOATS,

The directors OF the Matin and Temps
(of Paris) would. perhaps. not take 1t
as compliment If they We're to be
credited with "A guileless ignorance of
not very ancient naval history. 1t may,
however, be pointed out that they and
their contemporary, the Moniteur de
la Flotte, have omitted TO remind their
readers that the case Of the submarine
boat Gustave Zede proposed public
subscription and alb is an almost exact
reproduction of the case of the Spanish
boat Peral.
The keel of the latter was laid on
October %, 1887. She was launched on
September S. 1883. She was fitted with
twin screws, an electric motor and
Notwithstanding apparatus. When
immersed, only her Flagstaff showed
above water. She went through her
trials, like the Gustave Zede. success
fully and proceeded to sea. Whereas I'm
1899 the Gustave Zede made only sham
torpedo attacks on n battleship. i'm 1889
the Peral actually torpedoed and blew
mp an old hulk. There was a chorus of
favorable comment from the navel
experts of the Continental press;
public subscription was started in
Spain. and then the whole affair was so
completely forgotten that your Paris
contemporaries are able to count with
confidence on their readers being quite
unaware that the Gustave Zede had a
predecessor. 1t would. perhaps. be con
sidered unkind to inquire as to the fate
of tho once much-vaunted Goubet and
Gymnote.

The more the address of the Presi-
dent before the Home Market Club is
studied the more IL appears that Bos-
ton had the honor OF listening 10 the
delivery OF State document OF great
Importance. The occasion of the visit of
the President and his cabinet officers
was indeed an impressive occasion that
was marred only by the display Of Ill
breeding on the part of such Of the Bos-

A 0IPPER DUCK
Came Near PsrIshing In The Reusni Storm and Is
Now The Pei of a Fire COMPANY.

The boys at Hook and Ladder ones
house have got pet. A member of the
wild duck family known as the dip
per- which has been passing the win
ter at Wanskuck bridge, but who was
driven from cover by hunger was
chased down the river by the bridge men
and came out directly behind the Three
Ones house. Charlie sherman of Lod-
der one spotted him first thing. and by
means of scoop net, gathered him in.
When the little fellow was brought up
on the floor IL was found that he was
nearly frozen. The warm room and
some nice bits OF fish. however, quickly
thawed him out, and now the youngster
Is as happy as the proverbial lark. In
fact his duckship has struck "a veritabe
snap. The firemen, like the seafaring
men. are fond OF pets, and IL is plain to
see where this new addition TO Ladder
One sleeps on a bed OF roses all the rest
of his life.
The duck is handsome member of
his family. He has white breast and
crest. His back is jet black. and his
white wings are flecked with black
But his especial pride are a pair OF fine
black tail feathers. He has a pair Of
beautiful brown eyes, and altogether is
a pet worth having.

GERMAN LITERATURE.
Address BY \. |. Koopman, Librarian al Brown
University, in Bell Street Chapel.

Mr.. II. l.. Koopman spoke at the Bell
street chapel last evening, and gave an
interesting talk on a "Birdseye View
OF German Literature" After Mr.. Koop.
man had referred to the number OF
different dialects in Germany he said
that there can be no literature of the
country until there Is one dialect which
can be understood by all the people.
and this was what really did occur in
Germany-a common dialect was form
ed. though not for hundreds OF years.
He then touched upon the beautiful
work OF the Minnesingers. OF the time
of 1900 OF Goethe and Schiller and Mar
tin Luther, the romances and epics. Mr..
koopman characterized Goethe's as
the greatest name in German literature
the greatest name in modern literature
since Shakespeare. The depressing eff
fects OF the great 30 years war upon tho
literature OF Germany was traced, and
in conclusion the speaker expressed the
thought that Germany has contributed
too much that is grand and good Ia
the worlds literature not TO again pro-
duce more of the same.
