came in closer touch Saturday with the
people of Greater New York than at
any time Since the famous cruiser
dropped anchor in the upper bay, and
the city's tecming hosts made the most
of the opportunity. Saturday he was
really the city's guest, not in such an
official sense as Friday, when he was
out of reach, out on the waters, but he
was in the city in reality and the po-
lice had to fight to keep the people
from overwhelming him.
An admiral, first in the hearts Of his
countrymen. 1000 600 or 100000 of

Bostock was one. When but sixteen
he would &c to Viclsburg and spend
days and nights there, in the lowest
resorts along the river. He never
seemed to me to stand in the least awe
Of his father, but Mr.. Bostoc!l .'evavs
appeared uneasy when he was about.
When he went away there was 4 rumor
that he received a large sum of money
from his father upon condition that
he should never return. This NAV
have been mere rumor; l only know
that the people about here never did
see him again, and that 1, knowing as
much as anybody of the family in those
days, never saw the least sign of af-
lection between father and son.
To person who had never seen
Pierce Bostock, all this would natural
ly convey an unfavorable impression.
1t would be said that there seemed to
be something unexplained, and that
the mans life could not have been
what it ought to have been. To you,
who saw him at the time that everv-
body was charmed and captivated BY
him, l can say that we hardly be-
slowed thought on these things The
man made friends with everybody.
This house was Goodfellow's hall to
the men; if the ladies could not come
here because there was no Mrs. Bos-
took, nor even a housekeeper, they
nevertheless spoke of its master as
the most gallant and agreeable of men.
Especially was this so after he had got
rid of his scapegrace son. There
seemed then to be not cloud in his
sky. He was cheerful, even hilarious,
the idol of his friends, owning the
finest cotton lands in middle Missis-
sippi. You have heard something of
southern hospitality; you should have
seen for yourself how it was dispensed
here in the days of Pierce Bostock.
Yet have not named the chief source
OF this mans happiness It was his
daughter Coralie.

MARKET NOTES.

Prices have now declined quite lit
tie from the high level of last spring.
Nothing has occurred in general condi-
tons to warrant such a decline, and
there can be little danger in picking
up the good dividend payers, stocks
that will continue to pay present rates
through anything but a general catas-
trophe.
Official treasury figures compiled for
comparison by a New York house af-
ford adequate explanation for the
shortage of money. Since June l. 1898.
the treasury cash balance has increased
500, 637, 1888, while deposits of govern
ment funds in New York banks have
decreased SIS 900. 900. The treasury de-
partment, therefore, has withdrawn
from circulation over $110, 100000. This
is much more serious than the drain
from the interior. as the banks are still
losing money to the treasury in consid-
cradle volume.
Texas Pacific, through Edwin Gould.
is credited with having blocked the plan
to complete the Dallas, Fort Worth and
Gulf road, which would be competitor
Of Texas Pacific. The promoters of
the new line were negotiating for funds
with a New York trust company A
short time ago, Gould was elected a
director in the trust company, and the
negotiations were declared off.
A further advance in coal freight
rates is probable, as the railroads are
unable to handle the traffic offered on
account of scarcity of cars. This scar
city is becoming rather more pro-
nounced. Freight rates have already
been advanced, to go into effect this
week.
Calumets decline was on sales of a
very few shares Evidently buyers
were frightened by the reported sale Of
copper at II cents. That figure is well
above the average of the past year,
which netted Calumet stockholders $50
per share in dividends.
Burlington directors meet Wednes-
day, but there is no reason to believe
that any change will be made in the
dividend rate. Earnings have been
large, but much money is being ex-
pened qR the property and the dividend
is already above the other granger
reads.
