Absence of Feature.

For the rest of the day business contin-

United States Steel stocks, together with
some liquidation of Atchison, the late

the Pacifics in the list of standard rail-
way shares and some of the high-class
specialties displayed comparative firm
ness. London's operations here We're NOM

France Growing Rleh.

A statistical publication just issued
at Paris presents an interesting show
ing Of the division Of wealth In that
country. The almost universal subdi-
vision Of the land In France began
with the first revolution and now there
are 5.500.000 Of peasants each owning
home and tract Of land. But the
same process has been going ON in
the leading forms Of personal property.
In 1880 there were but $4,000 holders
of French rentes. or government Sc
curities. Now there are over 1000. 900.
Tabulations Of the holdings Of railway

similar showing. In retail trade there
was an increase Of about seven per
cent. In the past decade, while the
number of concerns In the Wholesale
