The bears made some further progress
in forcing prices to a lower level today
but they were by no means in so ag-
gressiVo and confident q mood as yes
terday. There was very heavy covering
of short contracts during the course of
the day and last prices were materially
above the lowest even in those stocks
which show the heaviest net losses. The
bears met determined resistance in some
of the stocks which have hitherto proved
most vulnerable to their attack. The lat
ter part of the day showed a distinctly
improved tone and an upward tendency
of prices with no disposition apparent
from the bear faction to make further
ventures for the present. After the
opening dip In prices there was the
usual professional covering designed TO
meet the orders of outside operators. The
result was short lived and bear party
then made demonstration in force. They
brought out heavy liquidation in the To-
bacco stocks, Western Union, Metropol-
itan street Railway, Manhattan and
Brooklyn Transit and extended their op-
erations in spite of the weakness in the
wheat market to the Changers. Total
sales, 6i3,70O shares.
There was an easy tone in the bond
market in sympathy with the stock, but
losses were not so conspicuous as in
United States new As advanced X and

Even more romantic than the career of
Senator w. A. Clarke. the copper king"

Senator George L. Turner of Washington,
says the Philadelphia Post. A few years
ago Mr.. Turner was political power in
his state, and while he was an unsuccess-
full candidate for the Senate. he stil had
influence enough to defeat the reelection
of Senator Allen, and for two years Wash
ington was represented in the national cap
ital by one senator only Shortly after this
struggle MIR. Turner lost his fortune, and
the future looked black indeed. About
this time party of miners came into his
law office. They had struck a lead up in
British America near Victoria, and want
ed some law papers made out.

them Turner took the certificates and tuck
ed them away in his safe. During their
stay in town the prospectors put up at a
miners hotel and paid out more of the Ger
tfcates over the bar for liquor, which
the host unwilIingly received.
That was two years ago To-day Sen
ator Turner is a millionaire through those
same mining stocks, the hotelkeeper is
out of business and is living on his money,
and the mine is the famous LIE Roy one
