vanees In excess Of per cent were com
mon Northern Pacific. Union Pacihe and
Missouri Pacific were the conspicuous fea-
,ures In respect OF activity, and among
higher priced stocks. Pennsylvania and
New York Centrpl we're notably sironE.
There were also sharp advances IN the
Hooking Valley Issues and wheeling aud

Incentive IN the early dealings were the
striking advances shown IN American

reelstance 10 tower prices. and tho alb
seoce Of concessions made exporters in
slasrent about taking supplies. For this
roason the day closed with transactions
M small lots. and with business restrict

neu,ine market closed firm. at S7lsc. with
a general demand for Supplies. The rosin
market closed firm and unchanged. with
a moderate demand prevailing. The whole
taIs markets closed active and ia the

RESENTED THE COMPLIMENT
British Wnr Correspondent who Did
not Think Churchill a Conn
petent Judge.

The porch of the Bloemfontein club
was favorite meeting place for the
notables engaged in the South African
war while Lord Roberts forces occu-
pied the town. Here many discussions
and few quarrels took place, says a
London paper. 1t was quite sight to
see the different little groups of men
that assembled there every evening
engaged in earnest conversation. One
evening a group of well-known corre-
spondents, among them Bennett Bur-
leigh, were talking together, when
Winston Churchill suddenly appeared
on the scene and rushed up to Mr.. Bur-
leigh to congratulate him on that bril-
liant stroke of his in getting away from
Ladysmith just at the right moment.
lie began by saying:
''Mr. Burleigh, that was the finest
thing you have ever done in journalism
in the whole of your life--it was simply
great"
This was kindly meant, but, unluck-
lily, it was one of those things that, as
Punch used to say, might have been
expressed differently" BY conse-
quence it only nettled the great war
correspondent, who replied:
Boy! it is presumptuous in you to
tell me what is the greatest thing
have done in my life-you, a lad, just
beginning your career!"
