Coventry vas unarmcd and helpless
before n bitter enemy. He was the
stronger of the two, and it flashed into
his mine to spring upon his antagonist
suddenly, catch him in his arms and
overcome him by brute force, but the
| glittcring point of his cncmy's sword,
shivcring in the sunlight like a ser
pcnt's tongue, effectively barred the
way. He had played tho game 'and
lost. If he must die in the presence of
his love, he would do it like Il gentle

There is II great educational value in

from all quarters including London, which sold 10000 or 5O,o00 shares in this market during the day. The special weakness of the trans-continental group led to a supposition that fears were aroused by the announcement of the incorporation of company alleged to be under Gould auspices, for the construction of new line to the Pa cific coast. The heavy decreased an- nounced yesterday in January net earnings of Union Pacific was also as- signed as an influence. The Wabash labor dispute and strike troubles on the Canadian Pacific gave vitality to the fears of coming labor trobles, which were real influence on the market. Reports of the organization of the structural steel manufacturers to con- test the demands for raise in wages increased the apprehension on this score. The rate for call loans on teh exchange ran up to per cent. in the late dealings. Time loans were prac- tically unchanged. The sub-treasury again took over half a million from the market, bringing the loss to that in- stitution since Friday to over $5,00O,- 900. A feature of the day was the fur ther break in United States Steel per cent. bonds when issued on the curb to below S9.
 Bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks. Total sales par value g, ,6O5, 900. United States bonds were all unchang- ed on the last call.

 YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARK EFT.
An Air of Mystery About the Weakness.

An Air of Mystery About the Weakness.
 New York, March 5.-There was an air of mystery about the weakness of the stock market to-day. Rumors of financial embarrassment in the dry goods world were circulated but noth- ing definite was announced. The direc- tion of the rumors shifted several times during the day, however, which had the effect of diffusing the feeling of distrust and apprehension. This vague feeling was the most effectual factor in the days weakness of stocks. But the money needs, developed by the situa- tion, had their positive influence by the withdrawal of cerdits from the stock market in the shape of calling of loans
 The prevailing tightness of money leaves little resource for replacing of loans that are called, The consequence was dribble of forced liquidation. This was steady and practically uninter- rupted throughout the day. The down. ward course of prices was constant btu did not make wide jumps in the active stocks, the recession being by fractions. But the net result upon prices for the day was serious, reaching from 2 to points for many active issues and over that for some dormant stocks. A nota- ble example of the latter was Wells Fargo, which sold 28 1-2 points lower than last months sale. The profess sional bears covered their short con- tracts at different intervals during the day with the effect of checking the downward course, but the rallies were slight and the make proved to have no stamina whatever. The last covering movement of the day was no more ef- fective than the previous ones and the closing was active and weak with some of the leading stocks at the lowest of the day. Even the announcement of the extra dividend on Manhattan and the advance in the yearly rate from to per cent. was only momentarily ef- fective either on that stock or on the market at large. The selling came
