Have Been Gathered

Times may be hard for all classes
this year. but certainly charitable en-
teGtainments have never been more
enthusiastically undertaken nor more
zealously carried out than has been
the case during the season just past.
Charity balls have ever been a popular
way OF inducing those not otherwise
generously inclined to part with a
teW of their almighty dollars for the
good Of the masses, performances OF
some play or opera that is the rage
al the moment have before this year
been given with all surplus from the
eNurbitant price demanded for en-,
trance and seats handed over to some
worthy institution or organization
In England however, the climax
was capped this year by the duchess
of Sunderland, Who demanded a shill-
ing for each glass Of champagne doled
ont at large dinner, and the
money. of course. was devoted to
charity. So lucrative did the dinner
prove that the sudden inspiration was
at once initiated, quickly became a
fad. and from that is now almost a

 Tn one important stock could be dis
 cerned signs believed to point to the fact that distribution was going on.
 while in another appearances would indicate q careful manipulation for the purpose cf securing stock as cheaply as possible and pointing to 2ccumu- lation. The action Of Union Pacific had an important influence on the whole list by sympathy. The bad i'm precision created by yesterdays an- nouncement of a coming bond issue seemed to pass away after a period of early depression. The stories have, re- vived the imminence of a plan for the segregation of Union Pacific invest ments and for their distribution to stockholders. Stock turned strong again and carried tue whole market with it. The heavy tones of Steel in the early dealings worked on the whole market Copper securities had the ad- vantage of another rise in the price of that metal here and aboard on reports from London of an improvement in the general market condition of the metal.
