PROFESSIONAL COMFORrERS.

\ London journal says:
To-day, even the emotions have
value in the money market. There
are. in London, professional sympa-
thizers, who soothe and comfort the
bereaved in return for pelf, perform
ing the service for which. they are en-
gagged in so tactful way that they
soon become Indispensable 20 their
employers
One who kept a hotel in San Fran
cisco during the time wnen thousands
OF men made profits in washing out
golu dust from the Sacramento sands,
said that he kept several professional
companions" as attaches of his hotel.
whose duty it was to entertain visit
ing miners. Many Of the miners who
visited San Francisco were strangers.
and although they had an abundance
Of gold dust, could not enjoy them
selves because they were in fear OF be-
ing robbed, or were suspicious OF
those who offered them acquaintance
and social assistance. To such min
ers duly authenticated person, genial
and intelligent, became a safeguard
and friend. He was more than cOur-
| Ter. He became companion for the
time being, and received salary from
| the hotel keeper. When the miner
had finished his visit he generally

| AS the advance of civilization rap
| idly divides occupations, the "profes-
| sional comforter" becomes a social ne
| cessity.
| The average man or woman is much
more interested in his or her own
personal affairs than in other peoples
affairs, and takes much comfort in
| unloading his or her sorrows and
| tribulations upon some friend or ac-
quaintance. This practice of unload
ing" which is usually unnecessary and
most disagreeable, destroys much OF
the enjoyments of social life, and in a
| higher civilization will be partially re-
| moved by the engagement OF the pro
| fesSional comforter" who will calmly.
and with smiling interest, and for rea-
| sonable compensation, take the OPP
pressive load of others joys and sor-
rows. A person, disappointed in bust
ness, or in the pursuit of marriage.
one who has been sighted in social
matters, or has any grievance, should
be able to command the services of
| the comforter" at a stated hour, just
as the services of a lawyer or dentist
| or doctor are commanded. Even those
who are married. instead of loading
| each other up with mutual complaints,
and reducing the pleasures of home
life, should resort to these sympathiZ-
ing professionals, and obtain from
them agreeable and patent medicine
balms for wounded feelings.
If fortune tellers, and palmists, and
clairvoyants are important aids in so
cial regeneration, higher class ol
professional is necessary as the affair:
of life become complicated, the time
of each individual is more occupied
and temperaments become irritable
Even an institution in the nature o

CITY of ocean vessels alone preventing enor-
NOUS exports Such evidence of the undi-
minished capacity Of the South American
republic, coupled with steady increase in
the domestic supply startled holders of
long wheat who unlOaded freely. There
was also considerable seslling for the short
account, and as the demand was sluggish
the market sagged steadily until near the
end, when covering started an upturn. The
movement was only temporary, however, as
liquidation on a heavy scale followed and
the market closed weak within a fraction
of the bottom of the days range. A slack
demand and reports of the excellent condi-
ton of the winter wheat as a result of re-
cent heavy rains stimulated the selling
movement. December opened HdAc lower

couraged by an estimate by authorita-
tive stats ician that the total yield would
amount to 200. 900 bushels instead of p
e00, 100000, as predicted by the government
bureau. A disappointingly poor cash de-
mand was also against the market, but
country buying, owing to wet weather and
moderate receipts, prevented any important
break and the market closed steady. Re-

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-To-day's market was an
uneasy one. Buyers held aloof in the absence of
important news from abroad or the West and in
view of a concessionary attitude of sellers. The
undertone of the market was weak, though
prices, a rule, were unchanged. At the close
the exchange called pig iron warrants dull at
$3.50; lake copper quiet at 17.70c; tin unchanged,
with SIC bid and 81. zoe asked lead unchanged,
with 4.57I2c bid and 4e2I2c asked; spelter weak.
with sc bid and 5.10c asked. The brokers price
for lead is 4.40c and for copper 17l2c.
