IoxpoN, May 9.-The stock markets Of
1ondou have been for the past two days
in a state of suspended animation. Whether
-,.y will develop next week that all-round
oc,iyity which has been so long awaited
or RELAPSE into somnolent stagnation de-
rands upon the following consideration:
Wil the enormous amount Of money which
;s dcpns,ed with the applications for the
Transyaal loan, and which will remain free
after the loan is allo, ted, overflow into other
first class securities?
|, is estimated that the loan has been
twenty times oversubscribed. Three pounds
sterling per cent go with each application,
and i, is evident that there will be about
s,5. 600 accompanying the applications
which will have to remain unsatisfed.
The future Of the market situation depends
upon where this money will eventually 60.
There is a general opinion that the loan
will give an impetus to business as a whole.
Much capital has been kept back in antic-
patton Of this loan. Big foreign applca-
tiors will mean that London will receive
gold at time when any important, receipts
will make its position more secure. There
have been enormous applications by. French
religious associations.
Il is expected that when the loan is placed
and business transacted in 1t, the price will

have already borrowed about ego 600 900
from the Bank of England. and the money
market is considerably disorganized. As
most of his money will have to be locked
up for week or ten days. the bank charged
about "a PER cent. for the accommodation.
There has been steady Improvement in
the markets on the Continent. In Germany
the bourses have been decidedly stronger,
and France still maintains an immense ac-
emulation Of unemployed money
American railroad securities have been
comparatively neglected in the absence Of
New York support. News of the Russian
movements in Manchuria. depressed consols
and the chiefforeign government securities.
The rise in Argentine stocks was sharply
interrupted by the recurrence Of the cattle
disease al Buenos Ayres, but there has been
extensive buying at lower quotations and
prices are already considerably above the
worst
Business in the speculative copper market
has been encouraging. There has been a
disposition on the part of consumers, after
several weeks abstention. to reenter the
market. but frequent changes OF policy
by interests with transatlantic connections
render il often difficult to read the market.
The policy Of operators for fall has con-
sequently been one of marked reserve.
A feature during the week was the scarcity
of warrants for June delivery, which have
been at a premium. whereas three months
metal could have been obtained at a dis
count. The consuming trade in America
Is considered here to be in excellent con =
dition. The chief European producer yes
teriay sold fair quantity Of tough copper
at about f68 per ton.

The above headline indicates in a few
words our immediate market views.
Large traffic, improving gross and net
earnings in unusual volume, the easing
OF money which will likely be cheap all
summer, together with increased valua-
tons OF railway property irrespective OF
earning power, due to recent large ex-
pendtures Of earnings, for betterments,
and great crops ahead in demand, at
good prices, make stocks at their present
low; prices unusually attractive. y.

On the other hand, the Cotton situation
warrants lower prices. Eigh price for
present options, shorts forced out and
holdings largely in hands Of the bull
clique; price so high that Cotton this past
week has been imported from Liverpool
at profit to settle short contracts !;
New England spinners refusing to buy at
present price range. preferring to sus-
pend operations rather than purchase
raw material at such figures as necessi-
tate manufacture of their products at an
actual loss. Bull cliques must have other
outlet than "bear buyers for their cash
supplies, consequently prices should fall.

Returned to Roost.

One Of the theories OF James b.
Reynolds, the head of the University
Settlement Society In New York, and
now Mayor Lows private secretary, Is
that much Of the drunkenness ON the
part of poor and ignorant men is eaus-
ed by the fact that their equally poor
and ignorant wives do not know how
to cook nourishing food properly, and
that, exhausted by manual labor and
insutficlently nourished, their systems
naturally crave stlmulants. One day
this theory came home 10 roost. The
husband OF an 1rishwoman had beaten
her numerically. says the New York
correspondent of the Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle. and had been lock
ed up for it. The morning after the
wife approached Mr.. Reynolds.
"Oh, SIR" she said. in great distress,
come and help me get my Michael
out. Sure, l had I'm locked up last
night for aeatln' me; but for the love
of heaven come and help me get him
outr
Her face was badly banged up, her
head was bandaged. and she walked
with a limp.
But you don't want to get him out. ;"
said the settlement worker. Hes al
most killed you. Leave him In. 1t
will do him good. I'll see that you
don't suffer for lack of his wages while
he's In prison.
"Oh. no." she said, twas all my
fault. You told me 1t was bad cookln
drove EN- to the rum shops, and faith
| cooked the praties In the same old
way. OF course he got drunk. Twas
my own fault. | didn't cook 'em In
the way | was told at the settlement,

"Yes-I suppose so. He said that

And Mabel flung out her hands with
a little gesture of Impotence.
Il am very sorry to hear you say
that, Mabel said Mrs. Trayers grave
~. "It-it almost makes HE afraid, =
she went on hesitatingly. you ought
never to have promised to marry Les

Mrs. Trayers rose from her chair and
laid her hand lightly on the girls dark

At this Mabel hid her face In her

And the girl spoke truly. She knew
that she loved Leslie, yet sheNvas mis-

and disilluslonment. That day she
had realized. for the first time, the
prosaie meaning of limited income
She had been accustomed to think
vaguely OF poverty as Il rather ro-

all the more delightful. Lesle's state
