of the Western railroad trunk lines
to execute for the Louisiana Purchase
exposition several canvases ilustra.

A New Damon and Pythias.

From North Wales comes the ro-
mantle story OF a lifelong devotion,
begun in early boyhood, between two
men and only ending in death at the
ripe age of so years. Henry Price
and Robert Ellis when boys struck up
a friendship, pledging to stick to each
other until death. When young men
they emigrated to Australia and lived
and worked together, come veal,
come woe, for more than fifty years.
Two years ago they both returned
to their native village of Rhosllaner-
chrogog, in Wales, having amassed
considerable wealth. This week
Price and Ellis died within twenty
four hours of each other, both being
over so years of age.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS.

Q. SChumaCher & Co say:
It became evident as early as last Monday that
the supply of commercial bills Of exchange while
continuing to be large, not sufficient TO supply
the demand for remttanCes. IN consequence, the
market advanced from about 81 35iz for prime de-
mand sterling. to 81 Sc to-day. with prospects for
further advance next week Urgent inquiry for bills
without doubt due the fact that most bankers
long bills, which coming due. not being
renewed. because Il is Improbable to DO 50, owing
TO the continued ease In money market one
hand and the slightly higher rates Of discounts
abroad. Until this condition changes. and there
is present indication whatever that such will
be the case. the position Of foreign exchange Will
be very strong and We should not be SURPRISED TO
higher rates prevailing for the balance of the
year Cotton is moving very freely, and there is a
lot Of commercial exchange making, but It is all
eagerly bought and consumed without causing the
slightest decline in rates. Such demonstration
speaks plainly for itself, and for the future.

A STOCK MARKET VIEW.

DNdIIes Q. IIateS & 20. say
Stocks were very active again yesterday, prObab-
ly the largest volume for two hours that has been
seen in many years. The squirt in Erie, and heavy
trading in other of the low priced shares were re-
sponsible for the great volume The market ap-
pears many as running away, but we feel that
we must all get used TO a larger volume or
business The high prices for all products OF the
earth this year naturally means increased acreage
and larger production next year, and with this IN
view, the railroads. steel and iron companies etc.
Will enjoy increasing business and consequently
increased earnings and larger dividends. As We
have said IN previous letters. the market
should have reaction and q good one, TO put IL
on healthier basis but the recession may not be
what those waiting for 10 wish The conditions
underlying the market are all sound and good. and
we rather look for a higher level next week with
the volume OF business quite as large this week
has been. If this proves true, should take
some profits and be IN position 70 buy declines.
