STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 2i-fThe character
of the security market today continued
much the same as yesterday, that is in
an attitude Of waiting. There were no
signs Of speculative Juror and no large
organized buying was in evidence. Sueh
market has natural tendency to
grayitate downward. Selling pressure
was not severe, however, holders OF
stocks being content apparently to retain
their holdings and wait for the money
situation to work itself out. The rosy
eoored views Of the influence to be
wrought by the redemption of Govern
ment bonds have apparently been modi-
fed. The offerings OF bonds at the
New York Sub-Treasury were somewhat
larger again than yesterday, but there
were no signs Of the great blocks Of
bonds accumulated by great banking
interests, of which rumors were heard
and visions were seen last week. Some
Of the spectators who were demon
sfrating for an advance have been Civ
ing out assertions that blocks Of So,
100000 and even of $1S,000,000 in Gov
eminent bonds We're presented to the
SubgTreasury. and the proceeds used to
flood the money market and force the
rate down to a point of ease. There
was no stringency in the money market
to-day, but the money rate stiifened
suggestiyely to fourteen per cent. In the
late dealings, as If to intimate that the
supply Of funds for speculative commit
ments is still restricted to a narrow
compass. New York exchange at Chi
cago and some other important outside
centers weakened during the day, the
Chicago rate falling to par.
Something was heard also of money
stringency to come in London, though
today's quotations failed 10 forecast any
such event Money and discounts de-
clined in London and in Berlin, and the
sterling market share was soft Money
was stiffly held, however, in Paris
above the Bank of Frances discount
rate, and this weeks action by that in
stituti0n is anticipated with interest.
Dizziness of the stock market was I'M
relieved except by professional opera
tons in isolated instances. Manhattan
Elevated was supported and retrieved
part Of yesterdays loss. American
Sugar ON the other hand weakened on
denials of recent stories of a settlement
in the trade war, and United States Lea
Their took a downward plunge on hqui-
dation by tired holders The organized

The Dahlia's History.
From the London Globe.

From the london Globe.
More than one hundred years ago Baron
Humboldt discovered the dahlia, a small,
single flower, in Mexico. Could some
prophetic vision have revealed to him the
dahlia of today in its dazzling hues and
varied forms he might perhaps, have been
prouder of that discovery than of all his
other scientific achievements. It was sent
by him to the Botanical Gardens, Madrid,
where it received the name Of dahlia in
honor of the botanist, Prof. Andrew Dahl.
The same year it was introduced into Eng
land, where it was cultivated under glass
For a few years it was lost to cultivation,
then reintroduced into England Cutiva-
every color except blue. For many years
the ideal dahlia of the cultivators was a
perfectly double ball-shaped flower. Those
who remember the compact flowers of
thirty or forty years ago know how nearly
that ideal was realized, and remember the
deserved popularity of the dahlia of that
day. But people soon tired of the regular
ity of that type, and for few years it was
neglected. Florists were giving time labor
and thought to the development of the rose
carnation, chrysanthemum and other pop
ular flowers AT last some far-seeing cult
vator recognized the possibilities of the
dahiia, and in new, improved and more
beautiful shades of color 1t resumes its
sway, and today greets US in so many
varied and attractive forms that every taste
may be suited.

LondOn's Meat.
From Cassell's Magazine.


Little more than a half Of the bill that
LONDON settles every year goes into the
pocket OF the English farmer From the
ends OF the earth comes this vast supply
Ihis great ogre of city of ours, before
whose gastronomic efforts the feats of all
the giants Of legend and fairy tale fade
INTO lnsigniffcance, has taken his toll of the
wild ranchers from boundless western
pralries, of the beautiful chestnut-colored
nerds OF the Andalusian mountains. of the
piebald-coated cattle that the honest Dutch
tend as their own children and of the
sturdy oxen of the north German plains
canada and Australia send us lambs and
sheep, the River Platte our OK tongues
Hamburg and Rotterdam our pigs. What
an advertisement for the Navy League,
What an object lesson for those who de-
clare our fleet is overgrowni
1t passes human comprehension to think
what would become of London If our COM
mand of the sea were lost and the foreign
supplies failed. If the 10000 live cattle
from America that swell the metropolitan
cattle herd during the year never reached
their destination; if Hollands half million
of sheep were forced to remain on the
home paStures-in short, if the 10000 tons
of meat. neither bred nor fed in these is
lands that London annually consumes

Where There Are No Taxes.

From the Portland PreSs.
LIQUIDS Island, on the coast of Maine,
near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln
county town of Bristol, Is one of the very
few places on earth where there are no
taxes. This island otherwise known as
Muscongus, was overlooked when Maine
became state, and was put into no town
or county. 1t is said that during the war
the people cast their votes for a time in the
town of Bristol until some election officer
discovered the illegality of the vote. The
island was first settled by John Loud, de-
serter from a British man-of-war, and his
REORGANIZATION are now prominent in
habitants. By voluntary contributions
school is maintained, the parents paying
81 for each child. The school term averages
eight months in each year. and there Is an
average attendance of eighteen scholars
Catching bait for the fishermen of Boston,
Gloucester and Portland IS the most profit
able business of the people, but when bait
is slack in running they turn their atten-
ton to clustering, mackerel fishing and
catching porgies for the big oil and fertiliz-
ing factory opposite the island in Bristol.
After a successful haul of bait large white
flag Is hoisted on the high ground in the
center of the island. With a glass it may
be discovered far out at sea, whence come
the Grand Bankers and others like buzzards
attracted by the casualties of battle. The
people have comfortable homes and are
prosperous and contented. Like the fisher
men of Deer Isle, they are famous for their
skill as sailors.
