Sugar was active. but showed comparatively
narrow range and ended the day with a small
net gain. Peoples Gas more than retrieved al
early decline and Pacific Mail was notably weak
Otherwise the dealings were small, price huctua-
tions narrow and the list of stocks dealt in
short one.
That the general tone was firm was probably
due to the fact that the bear traders bought
stocks to cover short contracts. There was no
evidence of any outside speculative demand, but
there was some investment buying here and there
on a small scale. Probably the bears were IN
duced to cover by the prospect that tomorrow
bank statement may fall slightly short OF De-
ing as weak as was feared. The New York Sub
Treasury made a small contribution today to the
cash resources of the banks on the routine trans
actions between them. This is the first time
this has happened in over three weeks and brings
down the Losses by the banks for the week on
sub-Treaeury operations to $3,3o7, 500, compared
with 81, sGe, 0o0 LAST week. Todsy's gain by the
banks Is due to the disbursement Of pensions. Or

about 600 compared with so, 100000 With
out allowing for the movement by registered mall
the loss of the banks on all accounts is there
fore only little over 100000 compared with
nearly so, 000 900 last week. The changes in the
loan account are largely guess work Some of
the banks called loans during the week. but
on the other hand the borrowing of money to
buy government bonds continued. The harden
ing of New York exchange at Chicago is said to
be due to the transfer of funds to liauidate
loans contracted by Western banks for buying
government bonds in New York. These doubt
full elements in the outlook somewhat modified

surplus reserves of the banks are certain to be
wiped out tomorrow

Of the day at from four and half per cent, and
the late furry was accompanied by rather palpa-
Bile manipulation, the rate quickly yielding un-

HAD ENOUGH OF COUNTRY.
Grumpley's Experiences During His
Little Outing Were Not
Pleasant.

"Yes, I'm back" snapped Grumply,
away for months vacation and got
enough of il in week. Allowed my
self to be fimflammed by an old jay in
the country who advertised all the com
forts of home at reasonable rates. My
wife thought it would do the children
world of good to get taste of the
country, so we left cur comfortable
home with the idea of spending four
weeks communing with nature.
1.-The old farmer with whom we
stayed seemed to be good-natured and
took to the children, teaching them
how to weed onions, feed the chickens
and pump water for the stock. He Of
fered to teach me how to hoe cabbages,
but declined with thanks. When l
was not as big fool as he looked, and
that he succeeded in getting his city
boarders to do about two-thirds of the
work on the farm.
Zone day the children were hunting
eggs, and it awoke the memory of my
youth when did the same thing myself
and 1 joined them just to show them
that / hadn't forgotten how.
"1'll show you where they are!' I
shouted, as l climbed into the hay
NOW; Just keep your eyes on your dad
and get few pointers!'
Il never thought l could get so ex-
cited over so small a thing as hunting
eggs.
"'I've found one!' I shouted a mo-
ment later.
Just then my foot slipped and slid
down the hay head first into a hay
chute and brought up a moment later
in one of the managers below with jar
that threatened to break every bone
in my body.
"While lay there wondering whether
was dead or alive the old farmer
rushed up and, with voice that thrilled
with emotion, he gasped:
Did We break the egg?"

sovereignty. Will the republic stay and
dispense to their inhabitants the bless
ings OF liberty, education and free insti-
tutions, or steal away and leave them TO
anarchy or imperialism?
The American question Is between duty
and desertion-the American verdict will
republic against both anarchy and i'm
perialism.
Policy In China.
The country has been fully advised of
the purposes OF the United States in
China, and they will be faithfully adhered
to as already defined The nation is filled
with gratitude that the little band, among
them many of our own blood, who for
lions and peril by the attacks OF pitiless
hordes at the Chinese capital, exhibiting
supreme courage In the face OF despair,
have have, been been enabled by Gods favor 10
der their own flag. The people not alone
OF this land. but of all lands. have
watched and prayed through the terrible
stress and protracted agony OF the help
less sufferers in Picking, and while at
times the dark tidings seemed to make all
hope vain, the rescuers never faitered In
the heroic fulhllment of their noble task.
We are grateful to our own soldiers and
sailors and marines, and to all the brave
men who, though assembled under many
standards representing peoples and races
strangers in country and speech, were
vet united in the sacred mission OF carry
Ing succn- to the besieged, with success
that IL now the cause OF worlds re-
joicing.
A Reunited People.
Not only have We reason for thanksgiv-
Ing for our material blessings, but we
should rejoice in the complete unifcation
of the people of all sections of our country,
that has so happily developed in the last
few years and made for us more per-
feet union. The obliteration Of old diff
ferences, the common devotion to the flag
anu the common sacrifices OF Its honor,
SO conspicuously shown by the men OF the
north and south In the Spanish war, have
so strengthened the ties of friendship and
mutual respect that nothing can ever again
divide us. The nation faces the new CEN
fury gratefully and hopefully, with in
creasing love of country, with firm faith In
It's free institutions, and with high resolve
that they shall not perish from the
EARTH" Very respectfully yours,
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
