most of the demands for the day had been satisfied when the rate declined. Professional operators also made much of the fact that stocks bought at the stock exchange to-day do not call for payment until Monday. Some os the buying was evidently duesto this con dition and based on the assumption that relief would come to the money market by treasury action before pay ment became due on Monday.
 During the decline early in the day there was some pressure against the Hartman Paciffcs based on the pro- posed government investigation of the relations between the Union and South ern Pacific. Scarcely any attention was paid to any other topic but tho money situation. The market closed strong at the recovery and at substantial net gains on the day.

in London is managed by foreigners, and theentire staff from manager down to the walters are from the continental countries of Europe. Only the porters and bell boys are natives. Even the Star and Garter, that famous old tay- ern at Richmond, is now in the hands or an Italian, and when I tried to get an old-fashioned dinner out there a few weeks ago they handed me a French bill of fare. There was not a word of Engllsh upon 1t, The waiter assumed contemptuous air when asked for roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and pretended he did not know what I meant. He said that he could serve us a good f1llet, but he had never heard of Yorkshire pudding. At the historic Mltre Hotel at Oxford, which has been the center of student life for five centu- rles and is one of the qualntest old structures you can imagine, they have French bills of fare for luncheon and dinner. For breakfast they serve ba- con and eggs, Oxford sausage, fried sole and other native dishes, but for the other meals the guests are conn pelled to accept French cooking.
 The most satisfactory oldfashioned English inn that I found this summer was "The Bull,' at Rochester, several hundred years old, where everything is conducted in the old-fashioned way Those who arae familiar with Pick wickPapers" will remember the exci- ting scenes that took place at "The Bull" when Tracy Tupman attended a ball With Alfred Jingle, and the latter by his attentions to a charming young woman, excited the jealousy of Dr. Slammer, a surgeon at the barracks. The graphic description given by Mr.
 Dickens would apply to the house to- day The ball room remains exactly as 1t was when MT. Jingle danced with Dr. Slammers sweetheart, and they serve the guests the same dishes, cooked in 1 the same way, that were offered trav- elers who stopped there in their post chalses before the days of the railroad. | We made two motor trips In War wickshire and Kent, which are the most popular parts of England for ex- cursions by automobile, and found that 1 several of the oldlfashioned inns like
 '"The Mermaid" at Rye made famous 1 by Thackeray and others, had been l overhauled and fixed up to accommo-
 date motoring parties. We heard also l of several others which are recommen- l ded as a real thing and the publishers
 of motoring guides and maps are help
 ing the good work along by advertising | them.
 In the city of London perhaps simi-
 lar reforms will be made. The genuine
 old inns, like the Cheshire Cheese" ! where Dr. Johnson and his Boswell, Ol- 1 iyer Goldsmith and other poets and lit I erary men of their time used to meet is one of the most profitable investments
 in London. Crosby Hall, which was
 once the palace of Richard III and is
 now maintained as an English inn is
 always crowded. The London Tav-
 ern, the Ship and Turtle" similar ! places, are coining money by reviving their old-fashioned bills of fare and
 style of cooking, while the modern houses, under Italian, French and Ger
 man management, are not nearly so | prosperoussW. E. Curtis in the Chicago | Record4Herald
