dropped speedily to 74Bc. Covering
by shorts for profits steadied the mar

some recovery. Later reports that
the excessive rains In the northwest

further recovery. Cash sales OF 200. 900

The international, monetary situation
was given considerable prominence in
Wall street to-day. through the en-.

Europe tomorrow. It was admitted
that 100000 of this amount in pay
ment for the British exchequer loan, a
20 per cent instalment being due on
Wednesday. Concessions in rates for
sterling bills were made, demand sterl-
Ing yielding y per cent, while posted

day. which brings. the total .outgo OF
gold on this movement up to sli.0 600.
1t is expected that the circulation fof
this sum In the European financial CEN
tres VIII produce relaxation OF tension
there. Except fol brief lntervaIwhen
the early gold engagements were made,
stock prices improved steadily, with
the gains quite uniform in a number of
issues. There were ftful spur.s OF. ac-
tivity and at intervals the strength was
most marked in special groups. High
priced specialties gave the first ind!ca-
ton OF strength. but were soon rele-
gated to the background when the
metal stocks forged upward. Later on
the grangers responded notably to the
more cheerful crop advices, rain being
reported in sections OF the corn belt
where it was much needed. A large
batch of favorable weekly earnings con-
tributed some force to the rise in
prices. In special stocks exceptional
gains were made, q jump OF seven
points In lead preferred being made
with as little explanation rs the recent
drop in that issue. In. Lackawanna
there was a,steady demand which, even:
tually carried 1t up five points and
strengthened other collars. Industrial
stocks suffered from the increased i'm
terest shown in railroad properties.
Sugar closed under Saturdays final

Operations were confined to the board

Charles Cook, 1t Is Feared,
Drowned In Yukon.
LEFT IN THE WINTER
No Clue to the Missing Man, or His
Dog Team, and Friends Think He
May Have Gone Through the Ice
and Are Investigating Matter.

Charles Cook. who was in Skagway
last winter. and left the latter part of the
winter for Dawson has not been heard from
since, and his friends fear he has been
drowned in the lakes or the river. He
was last seen in Bennett, whence he start
ed with dog team for Dawson. to work
for Hutchinson & Johnson. who have just
arrived from Klondike. and report having
heard or seen nothing of Cook. Not only
that, but they made diligent inquiry on
the wav out as to whether he or his dogs
had been seen along the trail, and got no
clue as to his or their whereabouts.
In the early part of the winter Cook
Travelled on the trail for the Nugget Ex-
press. He then quit and made a visit to
Seattle, and returning the latter part Of the
winter, started on the trip which has, his
friends fear, proved fatal to him.
The exact time that he left Bennett is
not known, but 1t is believed by those in
terested that he got away about the time
the Ice began to break on the lakes and
the water run in over the Ice. It Is
thought he had only one or two dogs, and
that he had little money, not enough to
warrant anyone being so eovetous Of II as
to kill the man for gain.
Cooks home was in Columbia City,
near Seattle, where his mother and step
father live. Cook was nineteen or twenty
years old.

uont 4Jhe rest will be all inspiration. My sole wish when dancing is to win my auol- ences and to Impress upon inhem the story that desire to convey by the steps. In the dance | am a woman who is trying to win love by the grace of motion, and there are many ways in which thls can be done so many, in fact that seldom dance the same way second time.
 To explain how have succeeded in ac- complaining these results would be very difficult. I have always danced. I couqi net help it. As a small child it was my favorite amusement and all my steps came to me naturally for have never had dancing master or received a lesson In my life. I was the daughter of am Episco- pal minister, and nearly all my relatives united with my father in efforts to per sliade me not ito attempt a professional ca reer, but tlhe music was m my feet and had to follow l1he irresistible impulse. l obtained the position on the stage Tor which I had s'o long craved, and from the first the public was very kind ito me.
 At last I ;lhouglpt of the barefoot dance I suggested it to my manager and he hesitated. He did not know what the public would think of it. I persisted, how ever, and att last succeeded in persuading him that the dance as I would present 1t

would be far from immodest He then told
 me that I might ilave my way. The rest of the story is an old one. As l predicted,
 the dance aroused little adverse comment, and, as had hoped, the people who wit
 messed it seemed ito like it.
 Among those who have liked my work
 was MT. Rudolph Aronson, and he was So much pleased rilat he volunteered to make
 arrangements for my appearance dn Eu-

 to Paris where I will dance during the
 expoition. The other European cities will
 come later.
 It has often been charged that I make
 up my feet we'll as my face for my
 dance, and I will now admit that the charge is perfectly true. I do not do tIhis
 from feelings of vanity, however. but for entirely different reasons. Everyone knows
 that the foJtMghts are very powerful and
 that unless we are prepared for them we
 appear before the public looking like
 ghosts. Therefore, like all professionals
 make use of grease paints and powder, but
 this is only one reason why I make up my
 fleet. The other is to prevent myself from
 catching cold. To do t1is I employ a se-
 cret preparation that I have used during
 the four years cf my barefoot dancing
 and it has been So successful that I have
 never had a cold that l could trace to my dance. No matter how much draught I
 may have beela subjected to- my prepara-
 tion has proved successful.

 It was only about four years ago that I presented my barefoot dance for the first tlme.
