LONDON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE Commercial Ad-
vertiser's London financial cablegram says:
Inc general tone of the markets here to-day
was steady but inactive. The mining carry
over occupied the most attention. The rati-
fication of the peace treaty caused Americans
TO open buoyantly and carried them well above
parity. New York however, sold heavily and
the close after hours at the lowest The
weakest features were Atchison preferred and
Northern Pacific common.
Tintos, 401e, but closed under 40
Anacondas were the best at 8.
Money was easy.

THE PRUNE MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb THE Journal Of Com
merce says: Efforts to form a combination of
prune-growing interests in way that will be
effective fer upholding prices do not meet with
much sympathy from this end of the line. The
general impression here seems to be that 1t will
be impossible to effect a combination that can
control the market values owing to the great
diversity of interests represented and the i'm
possibility of establishing standards of quail
ity that will be equally acceptable to seller
and buyer.

ed to 60 on indefinitely. Those who
did not vote with Mr.. Bailey are
really with him on this issue, only
they wanted a better chance to
smoke out the republicans and show
what a m%ockery their promises of
civil service reform are. There
was no chance for a free discussion
of the whole subject, when only an
appropriation was under c%onsidera-
ton.
Do you know that under the geu-
erous aud beneficent republican
rule we are keeping up a big civil
pension list? That's we are carry
ing hundreds of employees too old to
work, but who potter about the de-
partments and draw full salaries.
You pay for it. If we are going to
havd a civil service pension list let
us call it by its right name That
vote was only a promise of the beau
tlful row that is scheduled TO come
later about civil service iniquities.

"You are sure OF that?" said the
Countess.

my dear. when a woman hesitates,
she always says she is sure. You have
been married two yeare; between the

couples doubt each others constancy.
All women think at times that their
husbands no longer love them; many
occasionally believe it; many"
"Know," said Lady Mary.
"And are mistaken"
The daughter rose. "You were al.
ways an optimist, dearest" che said,
with affectionate impatience. "You
think every one is as good as yourself"
but, Of course. child. il you are sure,
you are sure; there is no more to be

Lady Mary bent over the back of her
mothers chair and kissed the tall white
forehead. "There is no more to be said,"
she answered. II am sure because l

reasons. only know that I feel it to

But no Doesn't care for me, mother. az

"Of course not interrupted the
Countess.
HE could live without me. He can
be perfectly happy without me, and 60

"Of course he can. My dear, you are
exacting. Did you expect to have a
husband who couldn't live without you
