imminent.
This might temporarily affect values,
but we believe the trend 10 be upward,
and although Improvement may be
slow, yet everything points toward the
fact that we are working into a broad
regularity on account foreign exchange
conditions, and would not ignore prof
its.

His Victory Over Kid Sulli.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec 1.-THE
opinion Of fight fans here today is that
Joe Seiger. the tough little scrappeT
from Denver, more than made good last
night, when he battered Kid Sullivan,
of Washington. down in ter. rounds be-
fore the Eureka Athletic Club. While
the Kid was not put to sleep. he was
groggy and all in. His seconds threw
the sponge into the ring just as the
bell called the men to action Tor the
eleventh round.
Sullivan declared that his left arm,
which he injured recently IN Boston,
was causing him more pain than the
punishment administered by his antag-
onist but that should not take away
any Of the glory OF Seiger's victory.
The Denverite was the aggressor from

NEW YORK. Dec. 17.-Wall Street is
watching the market for sterling eN-
change very closely this morning and

is disappearing, and II is scarcely hoped

pared for are released and more crop

then, there is the chance that railroad

Surplus will re easily absorbed, and the
demands OF business are so urgent that
the Street can hardly count on its usual
supply of loanable funds. The fear OF

Even Buyers Lack Confidence.
While the market acts reasonably
well. the very traders who buy it seem
to lack confidence in the stability Of
prices. There is no activity one way
or another, only here and there through
out the list and the price changes are
such as TO call for little comment.
Room traders are about the only op-
orators and they are in and out many
times, the advice Of commission houses
and operators generally being against
taking any liberties with profits; in
other words. they hold that profits are
TO be respected and to be gathered in
frequently. The faVOrites are Southern

Hen Facts.

How many eggs should a hen lay
in year?
This innocent question bids fair to
thin the ranks of the hens of Mime
sofa of many undesirable citizens, and
to exalt the hen who does her duty
above the wont of feathered kind. The
state has taken the trail of the hen
and sleeps not, neither can it be de-
tered from its purpose until the rec
reant hen is pilloried and Minnesota
is rid of her kind.
The trouble started at the Crooks
ton farm school where Superintend-
ent William Robertson made up his
mind he was supporting in idleness
and luxury a good many hens who
were not paying for their feed. He
therefore tagged each hen with metal
leg band and number. He established
an egg register, and with his farm boys
devised cunningly- built nests, by which
the hen enters all unsuspectingly only
to find that she must lay an egg or
stay imprisoned until some one comes
to check up her record.
For months every hen has been fol-
lowed by a sure detective. For year
every new laid egg has been entered
upon the book, and a day or two ago
came the end of things for many of
that hen-house.
Superintendent Robertson held the
