London, April 13.-The volume of busi- ness on the stock exchange during the week was small. There was a firm ten dency at first but was replaced by dull ness Prices showed considerable im- provement on the fortnight, and with a plethora of money dealers were enabled to carry over stocks at easier rates than for some time past. The reduction of the Bank of Englands rate of discout, April Il, from to Az per cent raised hopes of a considerable Improvement in the volume of business, but these failed to material ize, as the cheap monetary conditions brought out fresh issues and public buy ing became very apathetic, except in the case of consols and few investment stocks which finished the week firm. The volume of speculative issues with the dropping of values, was attributed to marketing of various stocks, saved from the recent settlements and until these were disposed of no material change is looked for, all though the position is considered health fer with the reduced bank rate and the plethora of money.
 Americans experienced narrow and ir- regular trading.

 ''The muscles memory Is the essential part of memory. Not only physical force lies there, but the mind of the real man, It marks out his knowledge and defines his character. But for muscular move- ment people would never have had any brains worth talking about.
