NEW YORK, August %, 4:0f p m
The early session Of the market dis
played strength noticeable during the
previous days. London prices, as a
rule. came at parity with New ferk.
Railroad earnings as usual, continued
favorable. The news from the steel
strike was considerably more favorable
than ND till now. and caused the Steel
and Iron stocks 10 advance about / per
cent.
The money market remained at the
level of 2 and 21a per cent for call, and
otherwise the news of the day was not
of character TO influence prices
materially
lust for that reason, it is remarkable
that not alone the tone of the market
towards the close Of the session re-
manned as firm as heretofore, but that
actually activity Increased and still
further gains were made throughout
the list.
Notable features at the close were
Amalgamater Copper, with an advance
of 8 points due 30 the favorable statis-
ties concerning the copper trade in this
country, B. & o., with an equal ad-
vance on reports of good earnings and
rights to be given out, and Missouri
Pacific on what is called good buying.
The whole list closes with indiea-
tions OF a broader and higher market

Enjoyed The Eight.

The two wildcats in box in a bag
gage-room at the Union Depot had
glared at each other for a couple of
hours last evening before the trouble
began. All the afternoon they had
growled. and the supposition is that
they had said things TO each other
that were not complimentary. The
larger of the two had spilled the water
belonging to the smaller one. He had
switched his tail into the others face.
and in various ways had given the
yOungster to understand that there
was apt TO lie trouble. Toward even
ing the two sat in opposite corners
and glared at each other. The larger
animal about s O'Clock thought it was
time TO make the interior OF the box
interesting to one Of the occupants.
He was successful.
No sooner had the big cat attacked
the smaller one than the latter was
ready for business. There was a mass
Of tangled fur inside the box, the sides
OF which groaned with the struggle
and flying fur came out from between
+ the cracks, and those who were looking
ON could not tell which was the winner
+ Several Of the baggagemen caught NJ
+ sticks. and through the Sits in the box
succeeded finally in poking the beasts
into submission. As the two wildcat:

cage near by called out:

great delicacy. The insects are served

made into pies and cakes. and in some
instances ground into powder and
stepped in liquid so as to make a bev-

in their pockets and eat them as they
