quartermasters department, but

and he was restored to duty IN the

assigned to duty at this western
post.
HE isn't much Of a bookkeeper
and his accounts got all picked up
while ago. and so after a lot of futll'
correspondence the quartermaster

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, November 14.-Trading on the
stock exchange developed a more hopeful
feeling during the past week on the more
clear political outlook on the continent,
which brought better support from Paris
and Berlin. while the settlement Of the
cotton lockout and q better trade outlook
induced broader investment buying in
home rails and industrials.
Stocks yielding rate OF interest re-
ceived the most attention among the gilt
edged securities and show a good rise on
the week. but standard securities like
consols failed to share in the general i'm
provement, owing TO forthcoming new is
sues and the governments projected Irish
land purchase scheme. which. 1t Is antici-
pated. will take the form an an issue of
3 per cent bonds. Dealers in copper
shares were kept busy with buying orders
from America and the continent and
prices moved up rapidly. but some heavy
realizing caused smart setback from
the best and values are little changed on
the week.
American securities continued buoyant
under the lead of Wall street and coupled
with good continental buying values rose
smartly early in the week. There was.
however, some disappointment at the fact
that the Hartman dividends were not in
creased, and this caused an intermediate
setback.
Reports of New York interests, however.
continued to push up values. which on
the week show net gains Of from 3 to 5
points. The low-priced issues closed
strong, continental operators and large
houses with New York connections doing
the bulk of the buying. The purely local
business was small. owing to the belief
that large interests were unloading at q
favorable opportunity.
BERLIN. November 14.-Prices on the
bourse today were Arm, but trading was
rather quiet.
PARIS. November 14.-Prices on the
