results are dead sure to be great and it is all because
jolly Briton likes his little joke
1t will be remembered by those who take an inter-

brought an action for libel against certain Mr. Win

vndication Of her character but treated the farth

feminine scorn that Mr. Winter wonld crafty her

plaintiff and the defendant in what had been fam

BRUSH fancy was immensely tickled. 1t seemed to

be good joke to add other farthines to the fund.
From that day copper coins have been pouring in
upon Mr. Winter from all quarters The numbers
received are upon some days so great that the mail

THE WAR AND THE STOCK MARKET.

Henry Clews letter, dated February l3, deals in
terestingy with the probable effect of the war on
the American stock market According to Mr.. Clew>
the war will not prove harmful to American gamblers
II the Japanese continue to win, whereas Japanese
victory will have decidedly depressing effect in
France where enormous amounts are held in Russian
bonds. Mr.. Clews says in part:
The war, OF course, temporarily overshadows all
ether influences. japanese early victories encour-
age hopes of short war as well as check to Russian
encroachments which latter are certainly adverse to
progress of civilization In view Of general sympathy
with the cause of Japan both at home and abroad
japanese victories are likely to have stimulating
effect upon the stock markets. while Russian success
might. on the contrary, exert depressing influences
Thus far none of the worlds money markets has
seriously felt the war; the worst effect falling npon
Parls, where Russian bonds are largely held 1t has
been estimated that France holds not less than
81, ,2OOO0O0O0 of Russian bonds, 50 that Russia s.
chances OF increasing her borrowings from her best
friend on good terms are not very brilliant Later
on Rtssa may make better show of resistance butI
the superior alertness of the japanese has already
won them important advantages"
