Prices of stock. Move Upwards.

Prices of Stocks Move Upwards. New York, June 10.-Prices of stocks moved upward to-day rather more de- lcidedly and comprehensively than in Iany one of the movements which have developed during the week. The move Iment seemed to be the result of crys- ltalized sentiment which has been form ling for several days of more cheer ing kind over the general business out look. The greater strength and breadth lof the movement was effective in driv- ling in some shorts who have not been Impressed with the smaller movements and their buying to cover was a factor in extending the advance. It was the
 common opinion that the Buying was based largely on the expectation of a favorable report of the gricultural de- Ipartment of the condition of grain lcropS on June l. The report was not published until after the closing of the market, and it's actual tenor is no guarantee of what movement of stock prices may follow, however closely lthat tenor may conform to the ex- Ipectation of those who bought stocks The test of the market will be it's abil- lity to absorb the stocks thus bought lwhen the effort is made to take profits lon them. The weakness of the cotton market was a sustaining influence in stocks. The special demand for Penn lsylvania made anothr radiating cen- | ter of strength in the market. Some of | the current gossip published to-day bearing on political affairs in Pennsyl- Ivania seemed to be made the basis for lsome of the speculation in this stock. | A favorable impression was produced l by the evidence of confidence in the bond market shown by the offer for lentures, and by published reports of lthe profits resulting from some of the bond syndicates recently wound up.
 The special strength of the lectrics was lattributed to the probable electrical Icontracts for terminal work to result form the disbursement of the proceeds lof these debentures. There was a re-
 newal also of a new control of the On- ltario & Western to neutralzie possible
 competition by that company in a man.

BUSINESS AUTOMOBILES.

Economical of Space, Time and Money
 as Delivery Wagons
 The advantages accruing to the user and to the community at large from the adoption of commercial automobiles are numerous First, there is the mat ter of economy--economy of space, and money. The business automobile takes up less space in the stable or on the street than the horse and wogon, and this is an advantage which is very im- portant. As an example it may be stated that a Philadelphia firm was confronted with the problem of build ing a new stable for horses and trucks. Owing to the size of the stable needed, and to the high price of land. the cost |of this was to have been two hundred and forty thousand dollars. Automo- piles were investigated, and the fact that they took up so much less room than horses and trucks resulted in the purchase of fifteen five-ton electric ve- hicles. An offer in prominent New York department store stated recently that the automobiles used in their de- livery work took up less than half the stable room formerly occupied by horses and wagons. A business auto mobile can cover more ground in day than horse and wagon, statement which has been demonstrated many times and under various conditions. A New York brewer found that an auto mobile truck could make three trips per day, as against one trip made by a horse drawn truck. In the recent test, one automobile made one hundred ser vice stops in a single day, a perform ance which could hardly be equaled by ia horse-drawn vehicle.-Review of Re views.

INQUIRY ABOUT BONDS.

One Received by Controller Rowe Yes
 terday Believed to be Worthless.
 In yesterday mornings mail City Controller Rowe received letter and a bond for $500 from the firm of F. W. Perry X Co. of New York city. The firm was very anxious to know wheth- Ter the bond, which was one issued by the New Haven. Middletown and Will |limantic Railroad company in 1871, was |of any value.
 The bonds were redemmable in 1891 and were supposed to pay per cent. la year. They were signed by Julius Hotchkiss as president, Allyn NJ. Col Igrove as treasurer, and George Robin Ison, the assistant comptroller The trustees of the mortgage bonds were ex-Governor o. Vincent Coffin and w. R. Galpin. There were thirty coupons for s17.5O each attached to the bond.
 These represent S525 The Air Line Railroad company absobed the New Ha- ven, Middletown & Willimantic compa- Iny, and the Air Line was subsequent- Ily leased by the New York New Haven land Hartford Railroad company. Whether this bond, No. 704, has any value is to be referred by Controller
 Rowe to Treasurer A. s. May of the
 Consolidated road. The original com Ipany was foreclosed, and the Boston and Air Line company guaranteed the payment of the first mortgage bonds. Some of the second mortgage bonds
 were secured by the railroad company some of the towns along the line but others are worthless. The one which
 MT. Rowe has is believed to be worth less.

THE PoPE's OLD WATCH.
Nickel Timepiece Treasured by the
Present PontiH as His
Mothers Gift.

The favorite gossip of Roman draw
ing-rooms centers round the pope's
simplicity and sweetness of character.
During recent interview the pope
took out his watch and looked at it.
It was an old, much-rubbed, much-bat
tered nickel watch, attached to his
waistcoat by an ancient leather boot
lace. One Of the noblemen present,
who noticed this humble timepiece,
could not restrain his horror at the
thought that the head Of the church
should have SO poor watch. He in
stantly took out his own watch-a val
liable lever, with a monogram in jew
els on the back-and begged the pope,
as a great favor, to exchange watches
with him, that he might carry away
q personal souvenir of the visit. But
the pope refused the offer with great
vehemence. 80. ~
My mother gave me this" he said,
caressing the old nickel turnip, when
I was boy. fastened it on with this
very bootlace, and vowed that would
wear it so long as il would go at all.
A VOW" added his holiness, return
ing the watch to his pocket, (which I
always believe to have been the cause
of the admirable time that my chrono-
meter keeps to this day and never gets
out of order.p

IN THE HUDSON BAY COUNTRY.
What Is Wrong with the Picture
EUGENE FIELDS DAY.
How the Genial Poet Sometimes
Joked at the Expense of Cred
ulous Callers.

since, said, the other day, that Eugene
Field and did our work for the Chicago
Daily News in the same little room,
have been repeatedly asked, says a
newspaper man, to tell more of the
pranks performed by that interesting
and irrepressible practical joker.
Well, then, here is another Of his hui
morous inventions. AS have already
said in this column, we, especially he,
had many visitors. One day Field sug-
gested that whenever he had a guest un-
known to me was to be his amanuensis
and when l had a guest who did not
know him. he should serve as mine.
Accordingly, we reserved our most care
fully written bits OF verse for use on
such occasions.
This Is how 1t worked Field. for ex-
ample. would be talking with his Wis
itor about some commonplace when sud-
denly he would stop, place long finger
to his brow as if smitten by new
thought, and speak my name in a COM
mandatory tone. Instantly at my desk
close to his (there was barely room for
our two desks and an extra chair) would
snatch up pad and give ostentatious
attention to him. Then, with just
enough hesitation to make the feat i'm
pressive, Field would begin repeating
from memory some poem which may have
cost him hours of tha most painstaking
labor to compose. Between lines or
stanzas he would. perhaps turn back to
his commonplace chat with the guest,
as If the Keeling off of such poetry were
the easiest possible task-a mere incl
dent apt to arise Unexpectedly at any
moment. Indeed. sometimes the most
difficult part of his task, and mine, was to
refrain from laughing at the amazement
pictured on the visitors face.
When the poem was completed. I
would read it over to Field, who. with
an expression of beatific meditation on
his mobile face, would sit as if watching
closely for word to change. OF course,
he never found one.
The next morning. when the verses
appeared unaltered in the column of
"Sharps and Flats" that visitor would
start in on his journey up and down the
earth, telling all who would listen how
the wonderful Gene" had composed this
beautiful classic not only in matter of
minutes. but in the midst of converse
ton which was scarcely interrupted by
it.

VERTICAL GRAIN FLOORING.
Laid in Places Where There Is Great
Wear and Freedom from Splin-
tiers Is Desirable.

Vertical grain yellow pine flooring -
read the sign on the fence of the lumber
yard; and, Vertical grain flooring?"
said man in the office, according to the
New York Sun, "why, that's nothing
new.
"But you never heard of it before?
Well, vertical grain flooring is sawed
from logs that have first been quartered;
as quartered oak is sawed. Flooring
sawed in the ordinary way, with its grain
lying fiat, is more or less liable to splin-
ter; vertical grain flooring, sawed from
quartered timber, has its grain on edge,
the rings that mark the timber's growth
showing in parallel lines, for which rea-
son vertical grain flooring has sometimes
been called comb grain flooring.
vertical grain flooring does not splin-
ter, but will wear smooth down to the
beams on which it is laid; and it makes a
very durable and handsome flooring be-
sides.
Vertical grain yellow pine flooring is
laid in places where the floors are sub
jected to great wear and where freedom
from splinters is especially desirable. 1t
has been used for school room flooring
and it is used in stores and Office build
ing, and in fine kitchens. 1t costs more,
of course, than ordinary flooring. With
the regular flooring at $27 to $50 per / 900
feet vertical grain flooring would cost
$3.50 to $3.50 per 1000 feet.
Maple flooring, costing $40 to SIS per
1000 feet, is now also used to fill the same
requirements for good floor, but there
are people who still prefer the vertical
grain yellow pine"
