The Pacific securities and the grangers
were the strongest features of the list.
The London buying, covering by the shorts
and some good investment and speculative
buying all contributed to this strength.
Northern Pacific advanced to 50 ga and
closed at 81 Ia. Union Pacific advanced
TO 81 is and closed al 5S SIS. Southern
Pacific went as high as 81 is and closed

1t is estimated that the exports Of gold
this week may be s., 500.0 600 AS far as can
be learned no gold will go out tomorrow,
however. The movement of the metal is
generally believed by financial interests
TO be near its close. 1t has not been of
much significance marketwise at any time
as the street generally has realized that
it simply reflects borrowing by London
from America. Money continues extreme
ly easy per cent rate for call money
seems probable al any time. and borrowers
are having no trouble in obtaining easy
terms on time loans extending until after
the elections. Besides showing the abun-
dance of funds in New York at this time
this also shows that financial people gem
orally do not fear much disturbance ever
the elections. The banks have gained ST.

Information on Frying.

a cook should always have two fry
Ing pans and 4 third not much bigger
than a large plate for omelets, fritters
and the like. The pans should be kept
very clean, and the butter dripping,
lard or oil must be boiling hot before
the meat or fish or vegetable is put In
the pan. Mutton chops, plain, do not
require any fat in the pan with them
they have enough in themSelves-but
they must be turned and moved about
to prevent them from burning. Al
ways season the chop with a little pep
per before putting it in the pan.
Lamb outlets and lamb chops must
be egged and bread crumbed twice TO
look we'll Steak should be cut three
quarters Of an inch thick and should
be peppered, but not sailed, as that
makes II hard. Salt Is reserved until
after the cooking.
Fish must be well dried before frying
In a cloth we'll sprinkled with flour.
Then an egg should be well brushed
over 1t, with a sprinkling Of finely graf
ed bread or cracker crumbs. The fat
should be boiling when the fish is put
IN. and there should be enough Of 1t TO
cover.
In kitchens where strict economy IS
demanded it is usual when liver and
bacon are to be served TO fry the bacon
first, which will leave enough fat in
the pan for the liver to be put In with
out other fat.
