have no doubt that with time, instruc-
ton and experience I would rave, with
many of nay friends, over the Turner
paintings. I asked Prof. Penny, dean
of the art department of Washburn
college. about these Turner's and said
to him that did not like the land
scaDes which to me seemed indistinct
and with coarse lines.
Prof. Penny, who has seen this room
number of times. said: ITO get the
effect of the Turner pictures, one must
stand far away. The artist did not
have in mind a near view. and in the
room where these pictures are dis
played one can scarcely get far enough
to receive the wonderful effect which
proper distance lends. They should be
in larger gallery. brilliantly lighted
There were three Turner pictures
which I admired. I had seen cheap
copies of them all. These are the
'Callais Pier 1.-The Death of Nelson
and THE Fighting Temeraire'
Every school boy and girl has seen in
the readers cuts of Sir Edwin Land
seer's animals. He has pictured dogs,
lions and horses in a manner which
seems to make them breathe on canvas.
Among the original paintings of this
artist in this gallery are the very ia
miliar King Charles Spaniels," The
Lions and Dignity and Impudence -
the big dog sitting like a judge with
the impertinent poodle playing like a
pettifogger before the bench.
Over in the Tate Galley are some
other fine specimens of Landseer's
work, always natural and always in
teresting, the subjects appealing, I
imagine, to all who look at them.

Here is the original of Sir Joshua
Reynolds celebrated picture, Heads
of Angels" some times called Cupid s
Heads" printed copies of which are
seen everywhere.
On neighboring nails hang well
known series of paintings by Hogarth
called Marriage a Ia Mode,' paintings
which brought the artist about $500,
and some years later sold for ten times
as much.
An immense picture hanging in the
middle of one wall of this gallery is
the Van Dyck portrait of Charles I
on his high horse. Charles has a sober
look as if he had a premonition that he
would lose his head. There is something
about this painting which will not let
one get by it without looking at it
closely. One reason for this may lie
in the fact that it is known to have
been sold once for $4,000 and later
brought the snug sum of $87 ,000 If
the painting represents the true lines
and features of the Identical horse. one
wonders why Charles First, with all
his resources, did not buy a better ami
NAL to sit upon for his picture. We
don't know how it looks to others, but
to this tyro the horse seems to be de-
formed. The body is very large, the
head very small, the latter perched on
a neck shaped like pyramid. Eighty
thousand dollars is lots of money for

Movement of Prices Feverish and IT, regular Throughout the Session. A Tightening Up in the
 Money Market.

NEW YORK, Feb 25.-The undertone of the stock market continued depressed to-day, a- thougn the movement of prices was feVerlsn aand irregular throughout There was quite a general show of strength at opening and mai viduai points of strength at different times a. terward, but nothing in way of gains was leIt at the close. which was dull and weak Ihe ushtaning course of the money market con- unsea 10 os dominant factor Tn oampeatns na ,as continued to harden and lenders do not care 10 do business at lower rater than 4%go per index of the money situation. There was tightening here and relaxation there In other matters bearing on the moneyN situation. put these were the results of ofrsetting tactors. Yesterdays heavy demands from Chicago in troduced a new factor of importance Tn the situation. The sub-treasury was not caileo upon to-day to make any further transfer 10 that point but New York exchange at Chi cago declined 10 points to 40 cents discount suDSs SI through the sub treasury combined with very large customs collections brought the loss of the market 10 the Government institution for the day up 10 s2,2Is s.ooo. making the aggregate loss since Friday on that account S3, 339 900. There IS some talk that this heavy drain upon casn in the loan account of the banks by trans fer to foreign lenders. As matter or Iact' loan bills made their reappearance in the TOT eisn exchange to-day and were principally re- sponsible for the easier tone in that market. although there were large export tab1nss ol corn to-day and London bought stocks slightly
 
 Paris reacted again. It was not known, how. ever until after the close of the market that arrangements had been made for the shipment of s75o,oo0 in gold to Buenos Ayres This Is described as a social transaction but its effect on cash reserves Is not different from the most orthodox regular transaction. It Is not improbable that the weak closing in the tne stock market was due to an inklng or this news. The lack of confirmation of yesterday rumors regarding Wabash and St Louis and San Francisco as to possible deals connecting those roads with other large systems natural ly led to realizing. The advance in Rock ISL and had the appearance of an effort to re- vtve the influence of the rumors. The special pressure against Metropolitan Street Railway was also regarded as rather ominous, The rise in St. Paul was due to the possibility that the directors at to-morrow's meeting may take action on the proposed new stock issue. Anal gamated Copper felt the benefit of an advance in the selling price to Europe of the metal. Laclede Gas and North American reflected the report of the purchase of the former by the latter. The buying of Sugar was attributed to favorable trade reports.
 The bond market was quite broad, but the price movement was irregular. Total sales, par value, S2,45o. GOO.
 United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

l, Exchange.
 They were discussing charity in the drawing room. and one of the gentlemen was inveighing with some sarcasm against benevolent folk who make donations and have their names published in the papers.
 ''Nearly all charitable acts" he said eloquently, have pride or vanity as their motive. For my part I hate ostentation. remember once when I was travelling through a part of the country where was not known I came upon a lonely little station, where in the waitingroom there was fastened to the wall a contri- button box for the benefit of the suffer- CTS through recent inundations.
 '"rhere was not soul there, not per- son in the neighborhood knew of my presence or was acquainted with my name and went and dropped a gold piece into tha box and slipped away unseen. Now, sir, what I contend is that my secret of fering was a more meritorious one than if 1t had been made on a public subscrip- ton list with a loud flourish of trumpets. '"
 You are right" said a listener. That was genuine charity, and I don't wonder you brag of it."

 NEW ORLEANS.

Liverpool advices to-day were dis appointing, consequently our market opened to 3 points lower than Mondays closing. Subsequently. however. fresh buying caused an advance of l2 to l4 points from the bot tom making the closing unchanged to points higher on the near months over Mondays Quo- tations. whereas the late positions showed decline of to points. The prospects of a continuance of unfavorable weather in the in terior coupled to the light port and interior receipts and the expectation that the move ment will continue on a decreasing scale. compared to last year were all instrumental in attracting buyers and occasioned the sharp improvement established to-day The demand for spots though Is restricted and 1t is claimed by exporters that splnners are not entering into new engagements to the pres ent basis.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES FALL OF 2 TO II POINTS AT THE
 OPENING. Weakness Abroad Generally Ascribed to Liquidation in That Market on the Part of Egyptian
 Interests.

NEW YORK, Feb 25.-The cotton market following the call eased of another point or so under renewed liquidation and some selling for the short account which had its most immediate incentive in the easier tone of the Liverpool market, which at the time of the local opening was 2h to points lower: whereas a partial decline of l point was due on the New York close of yesterday. The weakness abroad was generally ascrfbed to continued liquidation in that market by the Egyptian interests. who have been prcmi- nent in the recent advance. The declining ten- dency was of but short duration, however. Receipts for the day were lighter than last year by some 8 300 bales. and while immedi- ate climatic conditions were favorable to the movement, the roads are reported bad in many sections leading to expectations that the light movement will prove a factor for some days to come The estimates for to -morrow's re- ceipts at leading points being light also had a tendency to restrict selling and the bull clique were active supporters of the market at the lower level. Their buying drew atten- ton to the fact that the New York stocks are now down to l2s.72s bales. running count. against I62472 bales on February ] and the total exports from all points to-day were large amounting to 47.46i bales leading to apprehensions as to the situation in re- spect to May and causing fresh covering by shorts. This demand gave way to a momen- tary reaction in the mid afternoon, but the market at the close was firm, net 2 points lower to points higher, that level being practically the best of the day. Total sales futures estimated 200. 900 bales.
