bales including 700 to arrive. Quotations

The market for future contracts was
veiy quiet, and most of the trading was
in September and December. There was
little outside influence at work, and room
traders found small incentive in the mar
row range of fiuctuating values to induce
more than the lightest kind OF ringside
venture. Liverpool developed an easier
feeling and marked prices down 1-32d on
spots and 2-64 to 3-64d on deliveries, but
the trend Of the transatlantic market
carried little weight on this side, where
1t was counterbalanced by more or less
bull support at New York. Locally the
position of operators was merely one Of
Indifference. The opening range was l
to 8 points below Fridays figures. and
thereafter throughout the day prices
backed and filed within narrow limits.

ported from the metropolis. The board at
the close showed a net loss of points
on August, while the balance Of the list
was even to l point lower compared with

MOORE & HANDLEY
 FILLING ALL ORDERS
THIS FIRM HAS FULLY RECON BRED FROM EFFECTS OF RE. CENT FIRE AND ARE NOT cAUs- ING CUSTOMERS ANY DELAY.

Although the Moore & Handley Hard ware company suffered severely from their recent fire, they have gotten their business in such shape now that they are handling their large trade without much inconvenience. The firm has moved to the building formerly occupied by Fran cis & Chenoweth on Twentieth street. which is very close to their old quarters.
 Tae fact Of their early recovery from the fire is indeed gratifying to their many customers. not only in this district but in the entire state and adJoining states, and as one of their customers stated sew eral days ago, T have nae every order in their line filled promptly; the fire has not even caused my goods to be delayed one day" This speaks for itself.
 Their friends have been very indulgent to them until they could get affaira strengthened, and consequently they have been able to fill their orders as they came in. The railroads have been anxious to assist, and since the fire forty carloads of merchandise have been received, be- sides a number of shipments in less than carload lots. There were about six car loads of material not exposed to the fire, and all of this merchandise pretty well fills up the stores they are occupying and also the two commodious warehouses of the company. The firm now feels that they are able to meet all the demands of their trade, for the stock is almost as complete as before the fire.
 That this firm should recover so quick ly and completely from the effects of so disastrous fire as that which Moore & Handley experienced less than three weeks ago is a great credit to them and indisputable testimony of the great busi- ness ability of the men conducting the business. %ss

 As matter of fact, it has been ascer- tained that the shiftless population of New York city has been greatly increased since the Spanish-American war Bowery lodging houses by night give shelter to hundreds of men who have lost their ability to work. In the day time they sit around on park benches; and these all have "good war records" Military dis cipline and military adventure, with the loss of employment had before the war. and lost by absence has materially add ed to the derelicts of fate.
 More is requored of a nation than a great pension list. A great and powerful nation should endeavor to aid the re- turned soldier to maintain himself in honor to himself and to the well-being of the community to which he belongs. It IS not encouraging to risk life and limb on the field of battle and endanger health in unsanitary places with no hope of reward, other than permission to sit on a park bench or turn a hand organ in a soldiers coat on street corner.

rhouqht It Came In April.

Thanksgiving day belongs to the east. The Thanksgiving dinner occurs only sporadically in some places as the fol- lowing experience of Boston lady on her way to visit her son in California will show. She had intended to take Thanks giving dinner with her son, but unexpect- ed delays caused her to land on that hol- iday at a small Arizona town. She went to her eating house dinner of fried beef steak and bitter bread with bad grace and with little of the Thanksgiving spirit.
 As she was returning to her place in the train she met man who had been in her husbands employ twenty years be- fore. He was lounging about the plat form, with his hands in his pockets.
 Isn't your name Drew?" asked the old lady, stopping and looking at him through her spectacles.
 .'Yes, Mrs. Putnam; much obliged to you for remembering me. I'm surprised to see you away out here"
 "I'm surprised to see myself on Thanksgiving day. Such dinner!" she returned.

GRATITUDE OF NATIONS
BY PHINEAs FLETCHER.

Now that the war in South Africa Is. over the cables and correspondence toll the sad story of young men returning maimed and diseased. incapacitated for labor, or seeking 1t in vain. Many went forth assured by employers that their places at bench or desk would be theirs on their return. Out of thousands of promises made when national enthusiasm quickened the pulse of merchants, few. have been kept now that peace has been restored. These young men have their ideas as to the glory that awaits the hero returning from the wars.
 After the Spanish-American war all our great American cities were filled with young men, who shared fate ex- actly similar to that now being experi- enced by the youth of England. Many of them have been heard to say that never again could they be seduced in- to shouldering a musket,
 The fact is that England and the Uni ted States are not military nations. They are mercantile nations War IS but an incident in their existence and when IL is over they have no place for the sol- dier.
 Strange as 1t may seem, happier pros pect awaits the youthful Boer. True his country had been made desolate by fire and sword, his home destroyed, his barns burned his cattle driven off. Yet the acres remained needing his skill, his en- ergy, his patient labor. In the work be- fore him he has a chance to forget his griefs, in his labor he finds hope. He is a man with future.
 The lad taken from factory finds his 1.t .s.Ir ar,r.- cupied. He turns from the place he had made for himself in the world, a man who had risked his life for his country with the gloomy prospect of being cared

From the Atlantic Monthly
 While the exigencies of our practical American life will still demand the erec- tion of large office buildings the rate of production is likely to decrease rather than increase. The mania for mere big ness is subsiding and is bound to give place to a better conception of corporate eminence. and the production of the sky scraper itself inevitably necessitates the development of a large amount Of rupan property along more modest lines. That is to say, the mere architect, in distinc- ton from the construction engineer, will yet find in our great cities an opportunity to exercise his trade.

He Is a conservative man and ready and willing to serve the people to their best interests, finding no duty too arduous that will serve them in this section of the country.
 MT. Karter states that he will not be able to make an active campaign, owing to this season of the year being his busi- est one, still he will write a large num- Der of personal letters over the state assuring his supporters of his good in- tentions if elected to the office he as- pires.
