Trafalgar Square, one of the grandeSt
squares in Europe. While the bus is
stopping look around you. In the CEN
ter is a column rising up $50 feet, with
a olosSal statue of Nelson On the top,
and the couchant ions of LandSeer at
the base. To the north is the National
Gallery, with it's famous pictures and
engravingS, and near 1t NOrthumber-
and House, once the palace of the
Percies- Look down ito your left, and
you see Whitehall, where that blue
beard. Henry VIII, fell in love with
Anne Bolyn, and Charles II held court.
Opposite is the Horse Guards the
headquarters of the army, and, beyond
Westminster Abbey and Parliament

This is clubland. Here are the
Army and Navy Club, the Travellers

WORTH A DOLLAR A SMELL
Roses at $50 Apiece and Orchids at
S2,1OO for One Flower.

The coStlieSt of all flowers produced
Of late years is the Rothesay rose, a
strange looking, flesh colored bloom. 1t
is of an extraordinary color-velvety-
and just like the check of a healthy
baby in tint. Every petal is wrinkled
like the ''goffering'' of a girls dress,
and the entire bloom is very closely set
and weighs as much as six ordinary
roses of the same kind. A single flow
er is worth $50.
The prize of 81, 900 offered in Holland
for a black tulip has never been claim
ed, but five jet black hyacinthS have
been known to grow in the asst 20
years. The cheapest fetched 800 and
the dearest $3.50, almost a record price
for a bulb. Only one of the five reach
ed a second generation, n now there
has not been a black hyacinth for three
years.
Orchid fetch the highest of all prices
among flowers, though n may buy a
tolerable orchid ~buttonhole for a quar-
ter.
The sunset orchid, a lovely flower of
deep yellow and carmine and flaming
crimson, which cost many a life before
it was first brought home from the vir-
gin forests of the Amazon, could not
be bought for less than 81, 500 a plant
when it arrived in England. Only three
out of As sunsets were alive on arrival.
The record price paid for an orchid
lately is $1,000 for a plant of a new
species called the canopus from the
Interior of Brazil. 1t has a most love-
ly bloom, each flower eight inches
across, streaked white and purple.
A blue peony seems to be as likely a
thing to encounter as a blue horse.
However, a light and washed out look
ing but distinctly blue specimen grew
in the dollhouse of a Manchester flower
culturer. 1t was bought by a very
wealthy amateur for 81, 900.
You can pay as much rs $40 a bios
som for some varieties of the chrysan-
themum, and a pea green flower of this
species, which is occasionally to be
had, will fetch double that amount

Spooner and Tillman.

Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, and
Ben -Tillman, of South Carolina, are
boon friends. Damon and PythiaS
would hardly make a shadow to them.
Their friendship in the senate is not
only private and public, it permeates
pretty much everything they do They
back each other UP in legislation and
appointments, lunch together, swap
jokes, log roll in committees and play
second gentleman to each other in
every debate.
If Spooner is to make a big speach,
Tillman interrupts him systematically
for days at a time in order to nerve
the Wisconsin senator up to his best
fighting key. When the South Caro-
linian takes the loor in a speech, the
little statesman from the Badger State
returns the compliment. Sometimes
they get pretty ugly toward each other,
and a good deal of language that in
the old times vas regarded as prelim-
mary to an exchange of shots at Blad-
ensburg is INDUCED in. But the CALLER
les discount the word play because
everybody in Washington is in the Sc
cret and knows that the two senator's
are as fond of each other as two To-
year-old Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

The Bank of England advanced its minimum rate
of discount from to per cent yesterday. This
action the most important development in the
money market, but Its effect upon stock market
trading was not marked 1t may be said that the
advance alters TO a material extent the monetary
outlook in Europe, and in consequence 1t must be
influence in the local market. The Bank of
Englands percentage of reserve IS low, due to the
continued drain of gold to Paris and Berlin. The
Bank Of England generally advances or reduces its
discount rate by u OF l per cent, and the sharp
advance Of per cent made yesterday doubtless
indicates anxiety the part of London bankers
over the outlook for money. With the higher rate
in London low rate IN New-York and exchange
in favor of Paris heavy gold shipments from here
seem inevitable Our own money market shows a
frmer tendency, and the chances favor much higher
rates within the next two months. Fortunately the
banks sound and not loaded with bad loans OF
stock market SPECTATORS loans. The Treasury
disbursements for the month will probably be in
excess of receipts and the payment of $4,000
the old per cent bonds will offset any possible
Treasury surplus for time to come With
conditions sound higher rates for money will not
be an adverse development. canvass of the for
eign houses indicates that there very little
gold, if any, shipped by to-morrow's steamers, but
the indications that between 81 600 900 and $1,000
900 will be shipped by next Thursdays steamer if
exchange continues at ruling rates

however, that the conviction is yet sufficiently
strong with a majority of these consumers to i'm

The Gold and Stock Telegraph Company. which
is controlled by the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany and which recently became engaged in con-
troversy with the Chicago Board Of Trade. yester-
day issued the following notice, signed by Thomas
T. Eckert. president:
The Chicago Board Of Trade some time ago sub
mitted a proposition to the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies, which demanded or
telegraph companies exOrbitant financial terms,
combined with impracticable conditions Tor the
distribution of its market quotations The teie-
graph companies have endeavored TO meet the
views of the Chicago Board of Trade in every way
possible, having made a liberal counter proposition
The result is that the Board has declined TO &C
cept the proposition Of the telegraph companies.
and has given notice that its market quotations will
be withdrawn from the telegraph companies on
August / next. This action on the part or the
Chicago Board of Trade will after July 81, 1900
necessarily deprive subscribers Of the Chicago
Board Of Trade quotations they nave heretofore
been sent We therefore give this notice 10 our
