sharp conflict between the contending in

ing the first hour. The pressure to sell
fairly overcame the market at one time
and carried the level of prices to new
low record for the movement below. last
night But the supporting orders which
were in evidence on large scale from
the start absorbed all offerings until the
pressure to sell had spent itself and the
decline was effectualiy checked. Half the
first hour Afterwards there was a slow
hut increasing upward movement and the
market closed firm and quite active at the
top level There was a Continuance of I'M
portant liquidation from the first hour as
shown by the large and concentrated sell
and some of the Canadian stocks which
suffered in yesterdays speculative col
lapse The selling of the United States
Steel stocks was based upon the some
what equivocal tone of the weekly iron
trade review by an authority In that
branches of the trade is pointed out: The
selling of st. Paul was believed to be Tor
important interests owing to its volume
and it was feared that the demands OF
freight handlers in the Northwest carried
a threat of serious trouble. The weakness
of Northern Securities on the curb and
selling of the Burlington joint bonds were
attributed to the same cause. But the
confidence with which the heavy offerings
thrown upon the market were ABSORBED
served to relieve the fears of wiplng out
of margins and shrinkage of collaterals
which have aggravated the weakness OF
the market for several days past The
bond market was irregular. Total sales

Elbridge Pedder is taking exception
to the doubts expressed that he saw a
salmon jumping in the still water of
the river at Augusta He says that he
knows what the fish is by the way it
jumps. A bass will jump clear of the
water and fall back with something of
Il splash and then scoot off in ire
mendous hurry along the surface, plow-
ing the water in crooked course. A
shad will come up and show himSeh in
good shape and then start off along the
surface in a direct course. salmon
in still water will just come up and lift
himself out of the water. with an easy
turn sliding back underneath the water
making little splash but considerable
of heavy surge. A sturgeon jumps
up clear and erect and just simply
tumbles back like a log. Mr.. Pedder is
sure that he has seen salmon jumping
here, this spring, because they
jumped like salmon.
