When the children gather around your

Of his childhood. 1t is very important

Third Bridge at St. Louis.

The new bridge over the Mississippi
at ST. Louis, just authorized by Con-
gress, is to be finished in 1908 for the
Worlds fair. The first bridge over the

had a population of 225,00O, but when
the bridge was finished in 1874 the popu-
lation had risen to 325,00O. When the

THE MARKETS OF EUROPE.
London Exchange CIosed-The Con

LONDON, Aug. A.-The stock exchange
kept holiday again today, and there were
no quotations.
There was no change in sterling at Paris
today; quoted at 25fr. 2s.c. Berlin ex-
change On London pfennigs lower at

There can be no doubt that the money

Taking the Bank of England as an in
stance, It will be found that the stock
of gold coin and bullion is not only
greater than at any time since the Boer
war broke out in 1899, but has not been
equaled since 1897. Practically the same
thing may be said of every otter impor-
tant European bank, with one exception.
Barring the Imperial Bank of Russia, all

The stock market yesterday was strong
and active to the point of buoyancy.
Prices advanced one to three points all
over the list and closed at the top level
for the day the week, and the present
movement The strong market has been
a surprise to many people, even to many
optimists who have looked for advances
later in the season. The gains have been
ment be attributed to "a professional
market rally" The most important peo-
pie in the financial world have been
among the buyers on the advance, and
the best analysis of the situation is that
they caused the boom. Yesterday the
public became buyer In a fairly prom
inent way and materially aided the adj
vance In prices toward the close, despite
realizing in some volume. The outlook
seems to be excellent for a continuance
of the boom this week. The large inter
ests which are the holders of an immense
block of stock, far more than they usually
hold and far more than they want, I'M
doubtediy, have been working up prices
TO create general interest and thus OBJ
tain a market for their holdings. They
cannot carry their plan to its fruition
without making prices go still higher to-
morrow and later in all probability. The
public is almost ripe TO buy million
shares of stock q day however, and APP
parently the insiders will be rewarded.
The extent of the gain In prices during
the past week Is shown very clearly by

The showing Is a much better one than
had been looked for There is a gain In

also would have shown a gain except for
the large increase in the loan account
consequent OF the renewed activity in
speculation The loss in surplus reserve
leaves II still in excess of SIS, 900 600. There
is much talk of probable gold imports in
the near future by the oDtimists and
they suggest that with the help of this
influx of money in addition to the receipts
from the Klondike and from Australia
the New York banks may be enabled to
send funds to the interior for crop pur-
poses without experiencing any acute
stringency. The monetary outlook ct any
rate does not look more than usually
gloomy for this season Of the year 1t
has been suggested that the financial stu
alton is such as absolutely to prohibit a
bull market at this time. This is not an
argument that can be maintained with
much success, however, as autumn booms
are not unknown in Wall Street by any
means.
