ison, Erie, Southern Railway and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit We're offer
ed liberal lots by holders. The weak
est feature of the day was Colorado
Fuel, which lost two points from the
opening price, and long stock seemed
TO be pressed for sale on every little
bulge. The selling was of splen-
did character and supposedly for one
of the Western operators who has
been actively engaged in manipulate
ing this security for the past year.
After the publication of the bank
statement, there was an aggressive
drive made at Reading and Copper
both of which declined from one to
two points on liberal selling. The
bank statement was about what the
general public expected, there being
decrease of about five million in
reserve item, and an increase of six
teen million in loans and as market
factor, however. it was of small con
sequence The general market closed
ragged with weak undertone.

The queen Of Wurttemberg was one
day walking in the streets Of Stuttgart

The queen reported the matter to the
king. and the next day the captain of
the corps Suevia was summoned to the
palace. s servant led him into a room
where there were no chairs, and there
the unfortunate student had to wait a
full hour. At last the king appeared
and finally the young man was dis

that every student should know my

a decline of six cents a bushel in less
