ROLL OF BILLS

Somebody in a group back of Cotton Ex-
change told a story about the miraculous
recovery of a lost watch, and that, OF
course set the ball rolling. AS usual in
such cases, the next man capped the incl
dent by still more astonishing experience
and finally it was passed up" to quiet
little future broker, who had been listen
ing without comment. 81 never had but
one adventure of that kind in my life, he
said modestly, "and I'm afraid it's hardly
worth telling. 1t happened in this way:
One afternoon last spring l went down to
the postoffice to register a letter, and, be-
fore going to the window, l stopped at
the public writing desk to put the address
on the envelope l had big, fat roll Of
bills in my hand at the time and laid them
down on the ledge, beside the ink well.
don't recall the exact sum they repre-
sented, but it was large-up into the thouS-
ands. l was in a great hurry and very
much preoccupied over another matter, and
when ] finished the address l rushed off
to the registry alcove, forgetting all about
the wad on the desk. After that every
thing seemed to conspire to divert my
mind. AS l was leaving the building 1
bumped into our nurse girl who was hunt
ing for me frantically with message that
the baby had the Group, and would please
send the doctor at once. / found him,
finally, and then met my partner, who had
d transfer 10 De signed lInmSQlately D0IOre
q notary. To make long story short,
fully two hours had elapsed before l sud-
denly remembered about the roll of bills.
1t flashed through my mind like a shot,
and at the next instant / had whirled
around and was sprinting for the post
Office like a madman. OF course, 1 had
no hope of finding anything more than a
clew, and when 1 tore up to the desk and
saw the roll lying almost exactly where I
had left 1t l could hardly believe my eyes.
grabbed it and counted the bills. Not
one was missing. That, gentlemen, oc-
CURED in broad daylight at the busiest part
of the afternoon, and in a place where
hundreds of peope were continually pass
ing to and fro. / will leave it to you
whether the incident was not somewhat
remarkable
Was the wad in plain sight?'' asked one
of the listeners after pause.
Eyes, SIR replied the little broker, land
1 afterward learned that it had been picked
UP and examined by a number of different
people" Very strange" remarked rice
man ironically; "tbe bills were genuine, l
suppose?"
Certainly replied the little man-"but
I forgot to mention that they were unre-
ceipted."

! and Northern Pacific boards.

buckle rumor probably means that w. F.

Tin Plate directors declared the regular
quarterly dividend Of 1% per cent on pre-
ferred stock. Steel Hoop did the same.
New York, to Andrews: "The market will
decline sharply in the early trading on Lon
don selling and execution of selling orders
from out of town. We look for a rallv in
the afternoon and advise buying on to-day's
slump. The Morgan -Rockefeller-K -Keene buy
ing Will be on large scale, and short sellers
are not likely to have things their own way
The bull market is not over and the techni-
cal position of the market has improved by
the elimination Of small bull account and
the creation of a substantial short interest.
Get on long side OF st. Paul Louisville q
Nashville, Brooklyn Rapid Transit Manhat-
tan, Erie, Reading, Union Pacific and Atchi-
son preferred. Buy low-priced stoeks''
Dow Jones & Co., New York, to Andrews:
Northern Pacific is proving itself a great
money Garner. 1t is proving that ali it'd
eggs are not in basket. 1t transports
during the year something besides spring
wheat.
London Cable: Americans closed very
strong at best Of the day. General market
steady. Consols shade higher for money!
New York, to Edwards, Wood & Co.: "As
indicated in these advices, a large short in
terest was established in the stock market
during the last two days of decline and
liquidation of weak accounts yesterdays
break being helped along by heavy selling
from London and prominent western oper-
ator, who has had a large following on the
short side. The larger interests were not
ayerse to a moderate shaking out which
puts the market in a healthier condition
Considering the almost uninterrupted ad-
vance and enormous transactions for several
weeks past the reaction cannot be consid-
cred very severe, and the market acts well.
Prices may shade off little from the rapid
recovery, but conditions are not changed and
this is a bull market"
