Wall Street. Nov. 7.-Professional Wall
preparations TO meet an active demand
for stocks after election. and was not
disappointed this morning.
When the market opened the orders to
buy ran as high as 1900 shares in Union
Pacific, 5000 In Atchison. 5000 in Southern
Pacific and in Steel and Wire and several
thousand shares in each in number Of
other stocks.
The execution OF these large orders was
completed In the twinklng OF an eye af-
ter the gong sounded for the opening Of
the market. The opening price of some
stocks varied as much as lls points, as in
steel and wire. With some tangible price
level thus established, the trading pro-
ceeded In better order, but with great ami
nation.
Many commission houses mindful of the
excited jump in prices which followed the
election of four years ago kept their up
town offices open all night last night to
receive orders and had made arrange
ments to fill orders on the London stock
exchange before the opening hour.
The curb market In London opened at
a. m, or about a. m. no time TO ac-
comrnodate these orders, and American
securities had risen buoyantly i'm London
above Mondays .evel, recovering the loss
made yesterday while the New York ex-
change was closed
The trading here was very large and
excited during the morning. The price
movement was most feverish in some of
the iron and steel stocks. which showed
such an upward bound as points in
pressed steel car. In National Tube,
In American Steel Hoop and Federal
Steel. p. I'm National steel, 2ss I'm Steel

very conspicuously.
Professional operators have been heav-
lily long of stocks for some time past in
anticipation OF today's events and the
buoyRnt rise in prices and the eager out
side demand for stocks naturally invited
profit taking by the professionals. Even
those who had bought only this morning
in London saw handsome profit for
quick turn IN the opening prices here.
They unloaded so heavily that prices
gave way after the congested buoying
and excited bidding for stocks at the
opening The reaction ran from q large
fraction up 10 points I'm the moro mer-
curial industrials But the market con-
tinued very animated and absorbed the
realizing, with a buoyant recovery as a
result.

PARTISAN PASTIMES.
why the Citizen of Paris IL More
Given to Pastlmes Than
to sports.

In his series of papers on Paris OF
To-day" Mr.. Richard Whiteing writes
in the Century of PARTISAN Pastimes."
The Partisan is, he declares, more given
to pastmes than TO sports.
The distinction is, in his view, that
pastimes are made for man, whereas
man is VIGOROUSLY made for sports He
carries a sport as far as it may go,
for sheer amusement, and stops there.
All the rest-that tends to the ideal
perfection of the athlete-he counts but
labor and sorrow This is in har-
mony with his entire outlook of life.
He is mainly sociable in his amuse-
ments, rather than mainly competi-
tive.
They have made many laudable at.
tempts to acclimatize football, and
have taken beating, at regular in
tcrya,s. from one of the English visit
ing teams. If they do not succeed in
this as wen as they might, it is in
part 10 be imputed TO them as merit.
As persons of taste. they have a great
horror Of "brutalite" i'm sport. 1--WE do
not want 10 turn these French lads
into English ones" cries NJ. Ribot, in
his important work on educational re-
form published the other day Rough
sports do not suit our race, more re-
fined in its vigeur elegante than that of
the Anglo-SaXon." In the last resort,
they usually fail TO see why they should
suffer for their enjoyments, and they
sicken with disgust, rather than with
fear, when the dhooli-bearers and the
surgeons follow the teams into the foot
ball field.
This is the French note, always the
touch of elegance, and this Is why a
certain association with fashion" is
of the essence of French sport. II does
not, like the English sport, equally be-
gin among the people retaining some
thing of the primitive wildness of its
origin; or, If it does it is always trying
to mount select circles. Football will
take a long time to reach the French
masses. Their instincts know not the
stern joy of the scrimmage. For all
their combativeness, they regard life
as a progression, an orderly develop
ment, not as a battle and march. For
this sport, as for most of the others
that involve danger, we must wait OF
the upper classes. They have imported
football and polo and what not. ant
have done their best TO tame them into
diversions fit for man who values q
