LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Typesettine machine stocks at today's
meeting Of the stock exchange received
perhaps a. much attention from the dozen
brokers In attendance as any other Sc
curittes On the list. A somewhat better
figure was paid for Mersenthaler stock
and a couple OF ten-share lots sold for
100 and 1881. At the close the bid was
1913 and the askips price 1sek. so that
the figures were about the same as those
recorded yesterday. After cell thirty
shares sold for 1895.
There were no trades in Lanston stock
until after the cali, when two lots sold
for 101s, and no special change figures
been reached within recent days
The copper stocks were stu less pro.
ductive Of business than the ones lust
mentioned. except one Of the brokers did
some business in Mitchell At y. and an.
other OF the brokers expressed his will,
ingness to sell 500 snares of the stock at
that price.
No bid was made for such q block and
namely. y bid and I. asked. After the
call jO0-share lot sold for one-sixteenth
of a point less than the asking price
Slightly higher figures were recorded in
the case Of Greene canaunea Copper, but
there was nothing done. Some talk was
INDUCED in by one or two Of the brokers'
one of whom said he would give 12 for a
years option on Thousand shares. but
no such block was offered at any price.
The bid for 100 shares was 10& and the
asking price H..
AS usual there was but little done either

All the trading done in the securities of

Company took place after the call. when

as high as 79h During the call no in

Including 5OO-share lot that was taken
at 701i. some seven hundred shares In oil
were recorded in the transactions for the
day. which is 9 very good record for this
market, especially on q summer day and
at so high figure.
The announcement of the sale price Of
the new per cent mortgage bonds Of the
as 97ls and possibly % is regarded as a
new high record for securities of that
sort. The conclusion is that in the event
Of the bonds being placed at such figure
it will be quite evident that the improve.

character.
The rate for call money. while low, in

cluded that confidence is largely restored

Too Old at
From the Yorkshire Post.

In an age Of hurry and hustle the
value of experience is often overlooked,
and the result is seen In the product,
whether the work be manual or intel
lectual If the older man has lost some
thing of his "smartness' he has not the
superficiality and carelessness Of youth,
and the employer who estimates agility
above efficiency makes bad bargain for
himself in the long run.

Slaughter of the Animal.

4 shot was impossible, as only patches
OF elephant hide were visible, SO wait
was the only alternative. 1t was nearly
an hour before there was any movement
in the herd. when at length a fair-sized
bull moved slowly into the open. AS we
were three hours from the road and
some six from camp decided to take the
chance offered and put shot from my
$50 behind his shoulder There was the
usual crash as the herd made off down
the valley. The animal ! had fired at
made off with his companions; he was
soon left behind, however, and with the
help Of my field glasses / saw him sud-
denly stop and roll over.
My position was ideal for observing the
movements of herd of elephants when
suddenly fired at. They all went of at
top speed for about a mile. when they
suddenly stopped and turned around.
They then continued their retreat at a
steady arnbling pace The old bull then
separated from the younger members Of
the herd and steered a course OF his own.
The beast I had selected was the second
best In the herd and had nice pair of
tusks of just over eighty pounds each.

like parts of east Africa. is reached. Soon
after pitching camp, after the third days
march from Masaka, we learned from q
passing caravan that elephants had been
heard early that morning near the road.
The elephants were in narrow belt of
dense jungle on the right Of the road; be-
yond the jungle a small. rock-strewn hill
rose abruptly to height of one hun
dred feet. On the left Of the road was
an extensive swamp. while beyond 1t were
more rocky hills. I decided Immediately
to move through the belt of jungle in
which the elephants were feeding. and, If
possible gain the hill and endeavor to get
a view of the herd With great difficuity
we forced our way through the matted
vegetation. and at:length gained the hill
Elephants Alarmed.
The: elephants. however. must have
heard US. for they almost Immediately
filed out of the cover in which they had
been feeding, and, crossing the road,
moved into the swamp We got fine
view of them as they moved away. There
was one fine beast with tusks we'll above
the average. a second with average sized
tusks and three others with only small
ivory. We Immediately left our hill and
commenced the stern chase. We followed
the herd up a valley, with high hills on
either side, for about three hours: they
were evidently much alarmed and the
tracks told us that they were moving
at steady pace. At length the valley
divided into two.
The herd took the branch running to
the left which was well wooded and
very narrow. They had evidently hesitated
on arrival at this point. l decided that
our best course was to climb the hills
on our right. from which we could look
down into the valley. A short climb
showed us that the valley led up to
neck connecting two hills and that the
neck had a. clump of large trees on it.
We now moved along the side Of the
valley toward the wooded neck and very
soon an elephants back was spotted be-
low us as he moved across an open space.
The sun was gaining strength, SO it was
evident that the elephants were in search
Of shade. Having ascertained the direc-
ton of the wind. we made a long detour
and eventually crawled out on spur of
rock overlooking the wooded neck. The
herd were huddled together among the
trees and we easily crawled to within
twenty PAGES.
