AMERICAN BLUFF WON.
Yankee Tourist Didn't Propose to Be
Left Out in the Cold.
Prom the.Seattle Times.

From thes Seattle Times,
Here at home a bluff doesn't count
for much,' said the globe trOtter. but
I'm telling you that a good, stiff bluff
with a cheeky American behind it. is
worth lot of money in Europe. When
l got around to Nice last year the best
hotels were crowded and 1 had to take
up with a small room. on the same
floor was a German who was occupy
ing a suite though not spending much
money or putting on any great style.
One day there was a great row. The
landlord had asked him as a partCu-
lar favor 10 VaCate for a newcomer.
and, of course. the man didn't pro-
pose to be turned out. At the desk
was an American | had run across in
Nenice-a buyer for Chicago drv
goods house. When the landlord AMI
the German began to gable in chOras
the buyer pulled blank check from
his pocket and reached for pen and
said:
"All this talk is of no use. l want
rooms here. I will buy the hotel and
select my suite. Sir, what is your cash
price for this hotel?
You would buy the hotel" ex-
his hands in surprise.
Grounds and all, and want it to-
day. How much-a milliOn-fhree or
four? And what name shall | fiji in on
the check?'
Say now" laughed the tourist, "but
you ought to have seen that thing
work! The German had determined to
be ugly about it, but when he bumped
up against man who had as soon pay
four millions as one for what he fam
cied he felt awed and humbled AMI
ready to quit. The landlord figured
that to turn away such a Croesus
would ruin his house, and it wasn't
half an hour before the buffer was
Installed in the suite and the German
was chucked into a dog hole on the
top floor. And that wasn't all. mind
you. When they sent the buyer a bill
based on his supposed millions he got
up and threatened to buy up the town
and start six soap factories to running,
and they cut every item in two ami
begged his pardon to boot. l don't be-
lieve that chap had $1,000 to his name,
but he just walked over everything
and everybody for two weeks, and Il
was current gossip that he owned the
whole of Chicago and good share of
ST. Louis and Cincinnati. Nothing but
cold bluff, which wouldn't have taken
him into an American dance hall as Il
deadhead, but it was equal to letter
OF credit for $l,OOO,OOO over there"

nervousness the visitor lost hold Of

East StroudsburE'S board of trade
has decided not to take up the new
fire plant and glass factory project
At a meeting held on Wednesday even
ing revised estimates Of the construc-
tion was given. 1t was found that the
fibre ana glass factory together would
cost from $4,000 to S22, 900 to erect and
equip. one item was $1,000 for a glass
tank. Some discussion was given the
idea to Increase the subscriptions but
ii was finally decided that such a
course would be impossible both in
East Stroudsburg and Philadelphia,
When the project was first broached
the borough agreed to give $4,000 and
the fibre company $4,000.
improvements to cost several thous-
ands of dollars will be made to the
pulp and paper mills at Minsi next
spring. In fact the mills will be re-
constructed throughout.

THE MARKETS.


New York, Dec. 2l-The stock market
had to carry another heavy load of liqui-
dation today Trading was on a smaller
scale than on any previous day and
weak but the tone was icverish and un-
settled throughout and fluctuations were
constant. The principal selling pressure
came from London, where the money diff
hculty was aggravated by renewed APP
prehenAions over the safety Of the Brit.
ish columns In South Africl and the ad.
vance In the official discount rate Of the
Bank of France. Forced liquidation en-
the London exchange was on n large
scale and overhowed to the New Nork
market. The internally listed stocks were
ucutely depdessed at the opening and
were not able to make any substantial
headway all day. In the last hour there
was renewed selling of this group, which
forced down prices all through the rail-
road list from liz to points, the ex-
treme decline being In northwestern. Toe
leading speCialticS were also at the low
points of the day In the last hour The
bears were active In the late drive. Buy
Ing to cover short contracts caused some
sharp rallies but they were not well held
and the closing was exceedingly unset.
tied at substantial losses compared with
last nights close. \ notable feature OF
the weakness rs was the case yesterday
was the easier rate ruling at the time for
call money. After lending at per cent.
In the morning loans were being made at
TO per cent. at the time when prices
ness was not so much confined to the
speculative industrials as was the case
yesterday and If liquidation was being
forced by discrimination as to cOllaterals
the standard railroad stocks were thrown
over to obtain funds for the protection
of holdings Of industrials. Prices i'm a
number of impOrtant stocks approached
or fell below the low point of Monday
and this fact seemed TO incline holders
to sell Brooklyn Rapid Transit was by
no means so conspicuous as yesterday hut
the dealings were very large and the iluc-
tuatiOns very wide. 1t was vigorously
supported I'm the early dealings, but ap-
parently only for the purpose of making
Il market for further liquidation. Sup
port was forthcoming from time to time
during the day which checked the down
ward tendency. Sugar was very erratic
at a level below last night and fell to
within "A of Mondays low level. Metro
politan and Manhattan were aCutely de-
pressed, the former falling s points. The
New York Gas stucks were strong during
the early dealings on rumors Of a settle
ment of the gas war, but they weak
ened before the close, Except for the
continued strict discrimination against
some classes of stocks as collateral, easy
market. Total sales, 721, 100 shares. Bonds
weakened in sympathy with stocks. To-
