Peoples Gas was also ono Of the strong
stocks. 1t declined at the opening but was
subsequently advanced to around 120 Oh
Flower buying. The storieS from Chicago
that his company is doing aiarge business
in natural gas have been one II the argu-
ments used by the friends Of the company
who say that its earnings this year will
far eclipse anything in the past
The action Of the grangers during the
past week has been commented on In this
column frequently heretofore. They are
not affected by the weakness in the Steel
group in the least. except. perhaps, that
they have been prevented from advancing
by 1t. St. Paul this morning declined
from 25 7-8, the close last night. total Of
1-8 Of a point to 25 3-4 and then began to
advance toward the highest price Of yes
terday. Burlington and Rock Island fol-
lowed the same course. The strength OF
these standard stocks In the face Of the
utmost efforts of the bears has revived the
public confidence in them and there Is no
disposition now to attach undue weight
to the poor crop reports, which at the
most will mean that some part Of the sur
plus earnings on general merchandise
freight will be absorbed by the lesser tom
mage OF grain. There was good buying OF
the grangers today and talk Of the proba-
bility that they will rally sharply this
week.

The stock market had another break this
morning under the lead again of the Steel
stocks. Apparently it was an engineered
bear raid like that of yesterday, but ex-
cept in the Steel stocks themselves it has
almost no effect. After the first five min
utes of the day there was an excellent re-
covery which made 1t very nearly certain
that the larger part of the list would close
| the day higher than II opened, and even
| with a good net gain from last night. On
the whole this demonstration by the bears
and its small effect tended to confirm the
opinion of the better interests that the
market is firm and steady and certain to
have an advance in a short time. The
covering of the shorts in stocks that did
not break in the least seems to show that
the bears too. are beginning to doubt their
ability to hurt the market.
The club of the bears this morning was
suit entered by some little. fellow who
owns twenty-five shares of Federal Steel
preferred, asking for an Injunction against
the company to prevent it from paying out
dividend on the common stock. The
ground of the suit is the provision of the
charter of the company that no dividend
shall be paid on the common stock until
the dividend on the preferred has been Sc
cured. The company has made no state
ment of its condition, and apparently the
suit is well taken. The facts as to the
condition of the company are understood
to be that the full dividend on the pre-
ferred for the year has been earned and
set aside, and that this dividend propos-
ed on the common is to come out Of a
surplus in the treasury. II this is the fact,
the suit will undoubtedly do the stock
good instead of harm, as 1t will, If pushed,
compel the company to make known its
condition. There is a disposition in the
Street. however, to consider the entire
matter another bear ruse to force down
prices. AS far as the Steel stocks were
concerned. it was temporarily most sue
cessful. Federal Steel common, which had
been declining for several days since 1t
touched &C. and was at 81 last night, open
ed this morning on heavy selling from
So 1-2 to 5S. From the opening 1t recov
cred and was soon at 60 again. with good
prospects OF going higher. The preferred
stock followed the lead of the common,
though its break was small and its recov-
cry carried it to a higher price than that
of yesterday. The Steel and Wire stocks
also tumbled at the opening, but quickly
recovered on excellent buying. There was
disposition to believe that this is the
last shake-out in the stocks for some days
at least, and that they will work gradu-
ally higher during the remainder of the
week.

One after aoon, in company with a bright young girl from Iowa, I made the round of number of native cabins near Man. moth Spring, just across the line in Arkansas. My companion wanted to see bit of life of the squatters, if they may be called by that name, and we were at our wits end to devise some excuse for our visit to the houses. We concluded that nothing would be better than to ask for drink of water. This we did at each place. We unWisely frank in the doorways or just outside, instead of stepping into the cabin, and soon the attention cf pretty nearly all the mountaIneers and their large farni- lies was attracted.

Mary stunrt's Curious Watches.

Among the watches owned by Mary Stuart was a eofln-shaped watch in a case of crystal. Probably the most remarkable one in her collection was the one which was bequeathed to Mary Seaton, her maid of honor. It was in the form of skull On the forehead of the skull was the symbol of death, the scythe and the hour-gIass. At the back Of the skull was Time. and at the top of the head was the garden of Eden and the crueifxion. The watch was opened by reversing the skull. h. side was a representation of the holy family, surrounded by angels, while the shepherds and their flocks were wor- shiping the newborn Christ. The works formed the brains, while the dial plate was the palate. She also possessed another skua-shaped watch, but it is not known what became Of it.
