the buying was we'll distributed and representa-
tive of important market interests. New-York
Central was bought by brokers usually identified
with the Vanderbilt stocks. Pennsylvania was In
demand from an excellent class of buyers and
stocks such as Louisville and Nashville and the
soft and hard coal issues were in fair demand.
Union Pacific was taken by insiders and the
Changers bought by investors. The current
tendency in stock market operations reflects
more interest In the railroad issues and a falling
of in the dealings in the industrial stocks. The
disclosures in the American Mailing Company's
affairs, the Flour Milling Company's recevershp
and other developments in industrial concerns OF
doubtful merit have exerted depressing effect
upon all industrial issues. For the time the good
industrial securities are in dsfavor with buyers
owing to the uneasiness created by the develop
ments in connection with the concerns that have

had any sinister designs against the
education o. Mrs. Buzzy, they were
frustrated. for the lady, after a hurried
clearing away Of her supper dishes,
opened the wardrobe door and took
down her waterproof cape and her hat,
and began drawing on her overshoes.
Mr.. Buzzy. who was comfortably read
