there remains no open account here worth men
tioning. great many inanciers and brokers
have denied themselves holiday. and are
watching the American market from Capel Court
IN nerveIess dread lest there be a fresh shaking

The number of American business men in Lon

the homeward movement has set in earlier The
St Paul and the Campania, sailing to-day, are
crowded with passengers, including Lord Strath-
coma several members of Parliament and
large number of influential Americans. Senator
Lodge made only a brief visit here, and ex-
Senator Anthony Higgins came over from Fol-

useless bauble of Roman invention almost
pagan in origin, and prohibited by the Ordinaries
Of 1852
There are also tears, as well as smiles, in the
checered life of the literary and artistic circles
There are sincere tributes of friendship for the
genial Phil May, buried to-day in Kensal
Green, without an enemy in the world, having
left behind him a gracious memory for wit and
reputation as a master of the conventional art
OF caricature rather than a draughtsman
who could reproduce textures or estimate values.
