CHAPTER XVIII

1t Is Monday afternoon. The usual
crowd of refuse humanity clusters round
the door of the great turf exchange. Ex-
pugilists, low publicans, noblemen's but
lers that were traders on mems weak
nesses or lust-greasy, brass-chained,
shovel-hatted, throated, brazen-
browed-with wolfish greed of gain stamp
ed more or less on their features-the
hungry, gold-seeking mob oscillate round
that low doorway. The turtles temple
never shuts; the fell war between hackers
and layers never ceases. Eager murmurs
are heard midst that vulture-faced crowd.
"He went very bad in the market this
morning" Tell me they offered threes,
at the clubs" whats wrong with
him?" what against The Saint?" and
similar hurried interrogatories fall on the
ear. Now a brougham, now a well-ap-
pointed cab, whose driver throws the reins
from his avender-kidded hands to the
next tiger; now the hansoms of ordinary
life drop their respective occupants at
the small doorway.
The Subscription Room is full; round
the big circular desks much paying and
receiving is going on. The sofas round
the room are crowded with loungers; the
tessellated pavement is trod by a fuctuat-
ing mass, who ebb and flow to different
| points as some one or two large specula-
tors vociferate the odds, or cease to do so.
1t is the settling day after the broken
week at Newmarket, and sinister rumors
are rife about the first favorite for the

two for long while, but report says
that three to one has been laid and Of
fered to any amount of money, at the rae
ing clubs this morning.
Half-past four-fatal hour for many a
favorite at Tattersall's, the adjustment Of
last weeks accounts-js is over, and the
ring has time to turn it's attention to
forthcoming events.
"Three to one against Coriander for the
Guineas," is vociferated in more than one
quarter. Nothing positive seems known
about the horse but a panic has set In,
and hackers stand aloof from wager
that Yesterday they would have jumped
at. Some few adventurous men take the
increased odds to little, but speedily
repent as they find the disposition to lay
that price rapidly increasing.
At this juncture Pearman, attired in
deep mourning, entered the Subscription
Room. 1t was but few days since his
fathers funeral, and, to do him justice,
he would not have been there had not a
friend teegraphed to him early In the day
the onslaught that was being made on
Coriander Business must be attended to,
he argued, whether racing or otherwise,
and knowing his horse to be perfectly
well, he ran up at once to town to stop
this demonstration against It,
Foremost among the opponents Of the
favorite was big, corpulent north coun-
tryman, who enjoyed the reputation Of
by no means throwing his money away.
In turf parlance, when he persistently bet
against horse, 'he knew something"
"Here's 1000 to 800 against Corian-
der !" vociferated Mr.. Plyart for the sec
ond or third time.

1t has been number of years

known ore purchaser this morning.
This. of course, applies more di-
reetly Ia the lead furnaces, as the
Garfield copper plant and the Yampa
smelter are amply provided with ore
bearing rock and concentrates. The
lead furnaces at both the United
States and Murray plants are not all
running. and the future looks none
/ too bright for these furnaces To be
operating at full capacity for the
first half of the year.
Even though the price OF silver
! and lead has been much lower than
usual. the big mines of Utah can
make a handsome profit out of the
product The smelters are so anxious
to get a larger tonnage of this char
acter of ore that they are Offering

our company has refused To compete
for contracts ON which our metallur-
gisis could not figure at least 81 a

mine owners, ! understand, are com
planning that they can not make as
favorable contracts as they have had
in the past. but this is due TO the
fact that at least one of the old
smelters down the valley made con-
tracts with ore producers on which
there was no money to be made.
