STOCKS AND BUSINESS.

But little, if any, change has taken
place in the stock market during the
past few weeks, it being, according to
| Banker Clews, 'furda mentally strong
and reasonably active" for some time.
Speculative excitements have been
largely confined to the industrial list.
Notwithstanding the prevalence of stiff
prices, Mr.. Clews says the ''keen OBJ
server may detect the gradual approach
of influences that may, before long, sub
ject the present scale Of values to a
sharp trial" Railroad ealnigs and busi-
ness prosperity remain quite as favor
able as they have been, but the opinion
is becoming more genral that their earn
ings and prosperity do not warrant any
further advance in prices.
Prices are really above the legitimate
value of stocks A sangufne speculative
temper and ease in money may possibly
keep them there for some time, but
sooner or later the time will come when
there ia no longer any clear chance of
profit in buying, and then the demand
slackens. Mr.. Clews thinks it is wise
to keep a sharp outlook for the setting in
of reactionary drift. thought it may not
rum to any serious extent
ability that a serious relapse would be
encouraged by conditions in the money
| market as money is likely to become
very easy after the middle of April, and
remain SO during the summer months.
Owing to the improvement i'm the firan-
cial conditio of the railroads and the
| great general prosperity of the country,
securities are invested with a much
higher intrinsic value than they have
possessed during recent years, hence a
fair shrinkage in prices of stocks would
not so cheaper them as to prevent the
bringing in of new buying orders. There.

lookout for a reac tionary movement il

were briefly that a small woman of re-

from her room on the sixth floor by usns
a hre-escape in the wrong way. The fire
escape consisted of a rope with long
and short end. If Mrs. Wharton had
used the short end she could have come
down easily her speed being regulated by
q block through which the rope was
made To run. This block governed the
speed. Instead of doing this. ,she threw
the long end of the rope, and attempted
TO get down by scaling down the rope,
which. of course. would not run when the
wrong end was in use. Mrs Wharton had
gone down two flights when, through
some disaIrangement of her clothing, or
through loss of her self-pOssessiOn, she
stopped 1t was then that | grabbed her

floor. from which the screams of women
were coming. but the blaze was then
fierce. When, some minutes later, i re-
turned TO the ground, ! was told that the
name of the woman / had taken down
was Mrs Wharton. / supposed that she
had recovered from fright and from the
injuries the rope had inflicted upon her
hands. and had been able TO give her
name. i reported the name to the police
and the Chief. and thought little Of it
after that till the Chief told me that Mr..

De Issroth's quick work saved Mrs.

silenced the voices OF those for whom he
would have risked his life when he re-
