DOM CARLOS IN THE BULL RING
Periious Adventure of the King of
Portugal in His Youth.

Before he became a Benedick, Dom Car
los was passionately fond of the excite
ruent OF the bull ring. which he would
ter incognito, not as a spectator, but to
take an active part in the dangerous
game. Nov, in the Portuguese method of
bullhghting neither bulls nor horses are
killed, and to prevent the possibility of d
bull goring horSN which he may happen
to corner his horns are covered with pad
ded guards. One element of danger which
is present in the Spanish method is thus
removed from the Portuguese rings;
though even without this particular peril
there are still plenty of short cuts TO the
other world left open TO the daring. Now
| Dom Carlos is nothing If not brave, so
when one of the court beauties rallied
| him on taking the poor animal at a disad-
vantage, and thoughtlessly dared him 10
face bull with sharp nnguarded horns.
| the King gallantly replied that he would
| do so at the next fight, and invited the
scofIer to witness his or the bulls tri-
| umph from the royal box. Now, the reg
| ulations of the ring strictly enjoin that 10
bull is to be fought in Portugal with
points Undated but, in face of a royal
| wish, regulations have a way of becoming
| elastic. Orders were given, therefore
| that bull was to be admitted to the
arena in full, untrammelled possession OF
| all his natural weapons, offensive and de-
| fensive. Dom Carlos took his stand be-
\ fore the swinging doors and waited with
the frilled darts ready in his hand for the
| bull TO charge.
There was a below and scurry and
| then a tornado OF quivering brown limbs
| and glancing horns made for the place
/ where the present King OF Portugal was
, standing. But a bull rarely charges home
I at the first attempt, and this one did as
| others do. 1t stopped, snorted angrily,
! and threw UP the sand with its front hoofs
| The King waved his arms, made a feint
! to lure il on, and then, as ii charged again
spTang TO one side TO avoid IL but In the
! very act of his spring slipped on "a wet
! place left by the watering hose-and fell,
! The whole audience rose with a simulta-
! neous cry Of horror, for though Dom Car
( los. of course, fought incognito everyone
| knew who the too bold banderilero was
! Another fighter waved his red cape in the
| bulls face; the animals attention was d-
/ verted for a second and the King rose.
| The bull. saw the movement, and taking
no further notice Of the enticingly waved
I cape made once more for his first ad"er-
/ sary. II was run King, run bull. to the
( barriers. and, fortunately ior his oCGntry,

| tvs heels cleared the timbers OF the harri-
/ cade the bulls horns knocked splinters
| out of the woodwork a few inches below.
Yes, concluded Dom Carlos, with a smile,
Il fancy l did those % yards in very

glance OF self-criticism, he added II

BULLS TAKE A FRESH GRIP.
Stock Market Receivers From Yester-
days Reaction.

days Reaction.
New York. Jan. 25.-The wholly tech
nical character of yesterdays reaction in
the stock market was fully disclosed in
today's recovery. Today's market also re-
vealed the fact that 1t is structurally
much stronger than has been supposed,
and in some quarters stated to be. Cur
rent assertions that the market is honey
combed with stop-loss orders do not find
confirmation upon dligent inquiry. AS a
matter of fact and notwithstanding the
tremendous advance in prices, there has
been very little undue overtrading or
pyramiding as ii is styled. and for the
most part brokers have insisted upon the
exercise of unusual caution and conserva
tism by their customers. Had the struc-
ture of the market not been well known
and strong yesterdays movement would
not have resulted as ii did. nor would to-
days upward movement have been posi-
BILE for in ordinary circumstances nothing
is so conducive to new buying as ad-
vancing prices and such decline yes
terdays would generally have resulted in
further liquidation. At this time il seems
to be the case. however, that there Is a
great demand for securities upon all re-
cessiOns in prices, and so far from the bull
forces being disconnected by such reac
tions, they are simply utilized as an occa-
sion for taking fresh grip on the market.
This position and disposition are alto
sether sound and warranted long as
the market is based as at present upon
the wonderful investment conditions pre-
vailng.
Investment considerations seemed TO
govern the market today. It was in the
better classed and higher priced shares
that the demand was most pronounced.
Chicago. Cincinnati. and ST Louis was
conspicuous today, and it became known
late in the day that the company had OBJ
tanned control of the Lake Erie and
Western.
pronounced rise in Metropolitan Street
Railway was feature, its advance at
tending the reported purchase of large
block of the stock by an insurance cor
poration. There were heavy dealings in
the Pacific stocks which were notably
strong.
Other strong and active features We're
the AtchisOn shares. Tennessee Coal and
Iron, and Pacific Mail. The beginning of
the London stock market settlement
caused a reversal of the recent disposition
of the foreign dealings in this market and
on balance over 10000 shares OF stocks
were purchased on this account.

After selling all they dared and finding
little company, there was a buying back
which was of material assistance in the
Improvement which followed. II is a mar
ket which readily absorbs all short sales
and is unsatisfed. The speculation is
on the increase and the new interests are
mostly opulent traders, who handle good
lines and are not easily alarmed on margin
calls. Europe may be indifferent for a
time, but cannot remain so with her de-
pendence on America so generally shown.
