As Reviewed by Prince & Whitely. rather reactionary, rallied when the Bank of England rate remained un- changed at 4 per cent. and closed strong.
 Here we opened with further reac- tionary tendency; there was no great pressure but longs seemed more willing to accept profits especially so in the industrial group of later creations. The standard railroad stocks were well ab- sorbed on the decline and might in fact be called the mainstay of the market. Reactions can only be looked upon by everybody as healthful to maintain values, whereas wild speculation would undoubtedly make banking institutions shy of taking industrial securities as collateral and then only on very large margins. The undertone of the market remains good and the outlook for pros perity could scarcely be better. It should not be forgotten, however that many stocks and the industrial group in particular have risen very material ly since election, while since then actual conditions could not materialize and are only conjectures and hopes of the future.
 We, ourselves, are strong believers in the greatness of this country, but cannot shut our eyes to the danger of wild speculation interfering with it's prosperity especially in it's securities. As @ creditor nation, not only as eX- porters but as lenders and investors of money to the world at large, confidence has taken a strong foothold in our in institutions, and the foreign investing public looks upon our securities with more assurance than ever before.

Wheat is acting with better senti- ment. It should not be forgotten that the causes leading to the decline which we have had were principally the visi- ble supply which, however, is to a great extent of very inferior quality. The demand for good exportable quality is fair at good prices.
 Cotton was variable in it's actions to- day. Liverpool advices were unex- pectedly strong and the early market responded by higher prices here. Large realizing sales caused quite reaction this afternoon but yet the closing is not much changed from yesterday.
 The stock market during the closing hour was somewhat irregular. The steel stocks were weak and other in- dustrials suffered with them. The bet ter class of railway stocks was steady. Total sales, 1,192,100.

had lost consciousness after eight hours
of that kind of fighting and his attitude
was probably characteristic. But cursing
is not cool work and dries q man, already
drougthy, which still crackles of fire and
death stands before a drink At last
while there are still some three hours of
daylight, the patter of rifles along the
dongas on the further bank grow more
and more hurried till il runs into a con-
tinuous roll A last determined disas-
trous attempt is being made to push back
the enemy's right. The Seaforths. Corn
walls and Canadians, mixed together, are
clambering, leaping laundering forward
across the deep intricate channels of the
dongas.
But the man on the other side of the
river only knows of what is going for

Five minutes and it has sunk again to

under fire, so his last meal was a biscuit.
fifteen hours back, when he had fallen
in at in the morning after marching all
the day before. But he is aware nei-
Their of WEAKNESS. nor of hunger, in the
fever OF his thirst. The flesh of his
face, stained walnut brown by the sun,
has a dry, twisted look like the parched
stem OF scrub, though all the moisture
has been wrung from ii. One grows to
know that look out here. His fingers
never leave his water bottle, nor his
eyes the green fringe of bush along the
river. Another hour and the guns about
him cease firing and a new fight seems
to be beginning far away on the right.
The sun is going down and he can see
nothing on the left Of him but a hot
gold glare of dust.
A Dash for the River.
"Then out of it a man leaps and makes
a dash forward toward the river There
is a sharp ring of an order to stop him
and almost with it the quick stammer Of
a dozen shots and the man swings around
and pitches forward on his back The
battle grows louder on the right, a how
itzer battery has come into action
brOwnish puffs of lyddite are bursting
along the kOpje. But the man lying in
the scrub pays no heed to il. His arms
are spread out fiat, his fingers dug into
the sand. He is pulling himself along
slowly forward, ais eyes glaring ahead
through the scrub. When a bullet strikes
near him he stops a moment, but goes on
again.
80 in half an hour he covers about
fifty yards. He can see the cool hollow
of the river. hut there is only brown
grass along its banks and his one chance
lies in a dash. He is on all fours for
spring. but he gets no further. A rife has
been following the faint trail of dust
above him and he sinks down in lump
with a bullet through the head"

The scene.
In every shade
From white to red, and
Hundreds in between:
II daZZleth every manly eye,
And stretcheth
Every neck.
And maketh am'rous fellows
Haste to follow
At her beck
As down the street in glad array
Fair Doris lightly trips,
vision rare
From ankle neat to
Dainty fingertips;
And there are
Hosts of others-all most
Gleefully parade,
With some In stripes
And some in plaids and some
In checks arrayed
And some are silken, some
Are wool. some linen,
Some pique.
And cen the flannel and
Nearsiih are seen
In the array;
And some do blaze like
Goals Of fire while some are
Nerdant quite,
And every shade Of
Yellow, brown, blue, red, green, is in sight
And thus, when warming zepnyrs
Kiss the early-leafing
Tree, the streets
Become kaleidoscopes
OF femninity;
And marvel of all marvels. Each
Bright uamsel feels that she
Doth wear by far the
SWEETEST waist
OF all
That company!
All maidens love the
Summer waist, the waist OF
Giddy hue; and
ladies love to love the maids. who
Love this loving. too
SO here's toast, q merry toast,
