THE LONDON MARKET.
,lal Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cabiegram to The Star
LONDON, March 5.-The stock market
has been dull and weak since last satur-
day, and the chief cause of this condition
is believed to be the deplorable state into
which the mines department has been led
by the new governments course respecting
South Africa. All Kaffirs are lower than
at any previous time for years, and a large
number lower than ever before Uncertain
ty as to what Will happen in South Africa
coupled with the knowledge that this nm
certainty is likely TO be prolonged MANY
months, has caused the realization of sales
and as they have proceeded prices have
fallen. No doubt the sales this week have
resulted in heavy losses to hundreds who
have sacrificed their shares, and in an enor-
nous shrinkage of value holdings to those
who have made up their minds to hang on
slight easing of money rates has kept
consos and other giit-edged stocks from
succumbing to adverse influences In the
Kaffir market and to the rather lnfayor-
able trend of international politics but
other departments have not Jared so we'll
British rails, for example, have shown a
downward tendercy, in spite of the fact
that traffic reports are fairly satisfactory
Americans also have been neglected with
the exception of one or two stocks, and this
Is not simply because of the bearish reports
from New York but also because of the
general dependency induced by the Kaffir
situation. Foreign government stocks have
attracted little notice. but are naturally de-
pressed by the news from Algeciras and ST
Petersburg. There was nothing In the con-
ditions of the London market to helm them
In the slightest degree.

the progress that had been made with the
various new buildings and dormatories, and
especially the expansion in the school OF

But it is better. Foo-chee, to feel happy

to feel happy for a little hour. and then

Here was the practically of the woman.
Foo-chee pondered it. Then he lifted his
head and said:
There is riddle somewhere which can
not solve, Ah-lin. Let go, instead, to
the eating house of Hing-Chang-Lf for a
meal with fresh tea. And with you take
three of these incense sticks
Ah-lin hesitated. and was lost. Foo-chee
drew down the flap over his booth. and
carefully adjusted the ring to the staple;
then together they walked off on their
heels; and their swinging pigtails met and
touched, as it were knowingly. behind them.
And at the eating house of Hing-Chang-L
they ate a hearty meal, with whole mitin
of fresh tea leaves.
They were in the sweep of the force which
underies the world. 1t was the doing of
the upper gods.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET

The Manchester Eng) cloth market con-
tinues fair, with a good turnover The
Indian business consists of small
quantities of shirtings and fine fab
RIGS, the length of time required In deliv-
cry checking the business magnitude
China absorbs medium shirtings, while the
nature of the inquiries for other goods in
that quarter leads to the belief that good
business will be done in the near future.
The Mediterranean and South American
purchases help to sustain prices, while fin
ishing cloths experience a good sale for
home trade. Yarns are decidedly steady
with a healthy turnover American cops
of the finest make are in particularly good
demand from spinners. but the lower quail
ties are not such ready sellers as recently.
China is again buying shipping yarns.

years of his life at Canton. China. as Bap-
list missionary. Rev. e. z. Simmons has

China whether his sight is restored or NOT
DR.. Simmons says the recent efforts of
the government to establish a public school
system to which the people are opposed.

Proposed Hamburg University.

Felix NJ. Marburg Of New York says
that the project for a university in Ham
burg is in a primary stage, and that none
OF those interested in the matter has given
anything IKE 10000 for Its foundation

foot

given something toward the project. but
n Is untrue that we have given 10000. /

In explaining the purposes of the univer-

from her seat on the porch, scatter

She waved her handkerchief in re

calling: Aunt Linda! Where are you?
Here's Dave Green to see YOU
Without waiting for a reply she re
turned to the porch just in time to
greet the young man who came up
the steps "Glad to see me, Mary?"
he asked as with a hasty glance around
she put up her face for kiss Then
the two sat down on the top step in
earnest, subdued conversation. Mary
Dexter was a maid Of nineteen with a
fresh peachblow complexion. Today
wearing a simple white frock, she
looked her best-and knew it.
In a few minutes an elderly woman
came out the front door Her hair
worn as a coronet, was silvery white,
though she was only forty Age had
touched her face lightly, pressing in
the wrinkles with loving fingers that
left only sweetness in the expression.
Rumor told a romantic tale of Linda
Penningtons life, and for once rumor
was right A girlish engagement with
a young army officer who fell in his
first battle, a few years as a nurse in
the war, intercepted by marriage
with Lyall Pennington, early widow
hood and a subsequent life devoted to
good work-these were among the in
cidents in her story. For many years
all her plans had been for Mary, whom
she had adopted long ago.
Mrs. Pennington had taken a great
interest In Mary because she came
from her own town, and the case of
the child was particularly pitiful for
there were no near relatives to whom
she could be sent.
Fresh from the sadness caused by
the death of her husband, Linda found
the child's companionship great com
fort. Mary had passed serenely through
the stages of childhood and youth and
now, at nineteen, under the training Of
private tutors, was prepared to enter

INFLATED PRICES

Hall Game IS bringing out a 50-cent
book in London in order to prove that
it would pay the publishers better to
Issue new books at that price instead
of at the usual SLIP.
Mr. Hall Came" said a New York
editor the other day, has felt for
some time that books should come

sisted that the present price, in view
Of the cheapness of modern publish
ing methods, was too high. He said
that the publishers were like the
druggists.
And he illustrated his meaning with
a story
There was a druggist in a certain
town who was famous for an ONT
ment of his own manufacture. He sold
this ointment at s1.05 a box. A custo-
mer came TO him one day, took a box
Of the ointment and asked if he
wouldn't throw Off the odd money for
a poor man.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Dec. THE advantage
the bears obtained yesterday was con-
tinued in the early trading this morn
ing. Union Pacific was noteworthy
weak while ST. Paul on the contrary
was exceptionally strong Union Pa
cihc sold down from 1s4A to 1881.
the lowest it has been in some time.
St. Paul opened at ISL and was the
strong feature lal during the session
selling up close to 1S4 before the day
was over.
The selling was presumably for bear
operators who were pressing their ad-
vantage in view Of the extreme high
rates for call loans as high as IS per
cent being the ruling rate for large
loans.
In the late afternoon. however. when
the call loan rates eased of TO some
thing like a norman condition, stocks
showed the effect of the overselling by
bear pools and there was a scramble
TO get back their short contracts. In
the general advance Canadian Pacific.
ST Paul and Union Pacific were the un-
doubted leaders. Canadian scored an
advance of over six points for the day
and incidentally established a new
rumored in the street that melon OF
some kind would be cut. some af the
rumors were to the effect that the di-
rectors would Issue valuable rights;
others We're that it would be put upon
ten per cent basis. Neither Of these
however, had any authentic basis.
The buying in St. Paul and Copper
was aggressive in the extreme after
the early weakness. 1t was the belief
among the best posted traders that the
Standard Oil coterie of rich spectators
were aiding the advance in their two
pet" securities.
Copper scored an advance of almost
two points for the day. St Paul was
always In demand from the shorts in
large quantities.
The market closed feverish and
strong with all of the early declines
wiped out in all quarters and substan-
tian gains recorded in a good many OF
the speculative favorites.

A welsh Rim.

Every nation has Rip Van Wrinkle
of its own, but the Welsh story of Rip
is unique. He is known as Taffy ap
Sion. One morning Taffy heard a bird
singing on q tree close by his path.
Allured by the melody, he sat down
until the music ceased When he
arose. what was his surprise at OBJ
serving that the tree under which he
had taken q seat had now become dead
and withered! In the doorway of his
home, which, to his amazement, had
also suddenly grown older, he asked
Of a strange old man for his parents,
whom he had left there as he said, a
lew minutes before. Upon learning
his name the old man said: Alas, Taf-
fy. have often heard my grandfather,
your father. speak Of you. and 1t was
said you were under the power Of the
fairies and would not be released until
the last sap of that sycamore had dried
up. Embrace me, my dear uncle-for
you are my Undetermined your neph-
ew." Welshmen do not always per-
celve the humor of this somewhat nov
el situation of a youth-for Taffy was
still merely a boy-being hailed as IN
Gle by a gentleman perhaps forty years
his senior.
