a horrible sight. Seated on his old
wood chest, where he had lounged Sc
much all his life. they saw the figure
of the aged man, He was In flames
from head to foot, and his clothing
and hair had all been burned off. The
arms were partly raised and his fea

that he had died in fearful agony.

had guarded his master for many
years, was pacing up and down In

 OH the stock exchange to-day was ac- companied by considerable strength, which was displayed in a spotty and irregular manner Professional traders did much of the business, and buying to cover shorts by a retreating bear interest was an important factor in the activity. There was an assumption on the part of buyers of stocks that to- morroW's bank statement was to show a material recuperation in the position of the clearing house institutions. The usual preliminary forecasts of the weeks currency movement indic;Aed some improvement of position, but it was on intimations of the concealed changes that the assumption of radical betterment was based As result of the various movements of money the gain in cash by the banks was esti- mated to be in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. The issuance during the day of the call of the New York state bank ing department for reports of condi- ton of state banks and trust compan- ies as of December 19 is expected to
 
 part of those institutions in extending credits. The money market itself did not show any greater ease, the call loan rate, in fact touching the highest level of the week The stock market ignored this and the continued dearth of funds in the time money market.
 An advance in the price of copper, both in London and here, was a fea- ture of the day and made the copper industrials strong. There was a vio- lent advance in Consolidated Gas and its affiliated company, the Brooklyn Union, based on the judicial decision in favor of the company's contentious against the So-cent gas law. Union Pacific was freely bought in connec- ton with the pamphlet report of the operations for the year ending June 30, which reported earnings available for dividends of about '17 1-2 per cent. on the stock, Buying of the Hill stocks was ascrlbed to reports of gross. earn ings for November maintained at a high level.
