were both advanced handsomely to new

Tennessee Coal and Iron was one Of the
most interesting features Of the market.
The street was extremely pessimiStic re-
garding the outlook Of the company and
sold the stock freely on Thursday morning
at 80 and below. This condition OF the pub
lie mind was not allayed by the numerous
extremely bearish stories regarding the
business Of the company. The new state
meHt Thursday was that an issue OF
$50yJ.UyJ bonds VIII be made. The state
ment was made late in the day after a
sharp advance that the new bond issue is
TO be made largely 10 take up old high
interest rate bonds at q lower rate of IN
tcrest. This, OF course, lends a different
color 20 the matter. There are rea-
sons for believing that no matter how
bad the condition Of the company may
be, it is not SO bad but that the insiders
have been buying the stock heavily
around it's recent low level Of prices In

How an Appointment Was Lost.
A distinguished Republican senator has
out a search warrant for a bit Of paste
board bearing the initial of President Nc
Kinley. Some time ago, the Senator
called at the White House to urge the APP
pointment of a personal friend to one Of
the staff departments in the army. His
candidate was a civilian who had not seen
service either in the regular or volunteer
army At that time the question whether
the new army bill permitted civil appoint
rnents had not been raised. The Senator
pleaded has cause with the President so
successfully that the latter gave him
small card upon which was written ITO
the Secretary of War. / desire TINS ap-
pointment made. w Mex"
1t is customary for the President TO IS
sue similar cards under certain circum-
stances when he takes a personal interest
in a special case. The Senator left the
White House in high glee, but delayed
going 70 the War Department for several
DAVIS afterwards. When he finally pre-
scented himself to Secretary Root, he was
unable to find among his papers, the
Presidents card. He hunted high ana
low for it without success and hnalIy
returned to the White House to see IL
he could not obtain a duplicate. BY that
time, the question of making STAFF APP
pointments from civil life had been con-
sidered in cabinet and by the trainers OF
the army bill and decision had been
reached that the law, strictly construed,
provided that all appointments under the
new act must be made from persons In the
regular or volunteer service. The Sena-
tor is unable to account for the mys-
terior,s disappearance of his ticket and he
also regrets that he did not present IL

ducts on the Rise In the West, and
the Outlook Is for Low Priced Cot
ton and High Priced Hogs.
New York, March 22.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade is still active, though perhaps
not so buoyant as in weeks past, partly
owing to the natural subsistence of the
spring demand at wholesale, and partly
because of the interruption to demand
and shipments by snow and transforms in
the northern half of the country. From
rfe South the first distinctly unfavorable
advices received for some time past
come as a result of the heavy and con-
tinued decline in the price of cotton.
Trade comparisons with other years ia
vor the present season, as may be gath
cred from the exceptionally good rail-
way earnings, returns and the enormous
increases in clearings, some of which are
no doubt explained by the preparations
for large financial operations and the
bullish speculation in stocks which has
resulted in new price records for many
securities. Southwestern advices are espe-
cially cheerful and farmers in that sec
ton hope to repeat or even improve up
on the good results of last year.
Textiles are still the sore spot in the
trade situation. Cotton is 1ac lower on
the week, 2$4c below the top of the rise
last year and 15sc below a year ago. For
the first time in months the Southern
trade advices are depressed. Cotton goods
are depressed and price-cutting is the rule,
but signs of Improvement are to be found
in the agreement of Fall River mills to
run half-time for the next two months,
and thus keep 100000 pieces of print cloths
off the market.
Iron and steel are strong and even buoy
ant, but, as in times past, the Western
trade displays the greatest activity and
the most strength, while Eastern markets
have rather Jagged behind Chicago and
Pittsburg display great animation, and
Central Western mills are crowded with
orders. Furnaces are sold ahead to July

been in good export demand, but is held

of hog products and higher prices for
live hogs has resulted in talk of corner
being worked in May delivery at Chi
cago. Present prices are the best re-
corded for years past. Sugar has shown
some recuperative strength, and a frac-
tional gain is noted after the late marked

craft for moment he awkwardly crawl
ed TO the boxes where the fish are put
when caught, and made a dlligent search

Whenever they come to the bay to fish
or feed on what has been thrown out the
seals find a great number Of gulls there
for the same purpose. Whenever a seal
finds a dead fish lying on the bottom he
brings up large pieces of 1t that he may
eat upon the surface OF the water. No
sooner visible TO the eye of the gull than
the feathered fisher makes a dart at the
seal to obtain a part of his fish. The
seal has a fear OF the gull that is anus
ing; for just as quick as the bird goes
toward him down under the water he goes
as IL shot at or attacked by some mon
ster enemy. The reason for their fear
is because Of the well-sharpened beak OF
the bird. The singular thing is that the
seals never harm the birds, which they
could do very easily, while diving under
them, for very often the seal comes to
the surface very near the birds.

Hanna and Hepburn Find Difficulty

washington, D. c., March Ex-senator
Mark Hanna and Representative Peter
Hepburn of Iowa met on the stairway at
the White House a few days ago. These
two distinguished statesmen are kindred

other occupying a similar position in the
House of Representa- tives In addition,
both are suffering from rheumatism and
are obliged to lean heavily upon a stout
cane as they hobble about looking after
the interests of their constituents Sena-
tor Hanna had just been in to see the
President to talk over the political stu
alton in Ohio and to speculate upon what
the outcome might be If former Repre-
sentative Tom Johnson. the street rail-

The Armour purchases of May ribs dur
