FOREIGN BANKS.

LONDON, May 15.-Tradng on the
stock exchange during the week showed
considerable strength under broadening
business, especially in the speculative
section. The feeling among speculators
was decidedly optimistic and prices on
the week show further net improvements
African mines monopolized the attention
Of traders, these shares experiencing
quite a boom under the lead of Rhode
sian, among which Chartered Company's
shares crossed par for the first time in
two years.
Good buying, undoubtedly, for specula-
tive and large bull account, already has
built up these issues but the recent re-
duction in working expenses induced in
eson vestors to operate more freely In antici-
edged section started quietly, but on the
enormous success of the country council
and other new loans. which quickly reach
ed premiums, standard issues, such as
home rails and colonial bonds, gradually
improved and registered net gains.
Consols closed half q point higher than
last Saturday, while the foreign section
benefited by increased Paris support on
the failure of the strike of the govern
ment employees.
American shares have been rather quiet
er after last weeks upward burst, and the
market showed evidences of liquidation
in various places under cover of support
in other stocks. The coalers received the
most attention. Reading and Erie rising
sharply. On the other hand, copper
shares and United States Steel suffered
by selling pressure for local and conti-

TO believe that there is anything in the

changes had q good laugh two or three
days ago over a story of the antics Of q
little group of chronic bears on the spec
ialty, who were victimized by ticker boy
in a big commission house who called of
fake sales for about 5000 shares and
broke the market Is points In about ten

There are no indications of setback
In the iron and steel trade. The speed
may not be quite as rapid as some had
predicted. but 1t will be fast enough.
Railroads are beginning to send In their
orders for rails and new equipment and
everything points to a swelling volume of
business.
For months there has been steady in
vestment absorption of the preferred
stocks of many of the industrials. In
fact, very few of the preferred issues
are neglected. The near approach of the
passage of the new tariff law has added
to the demand for this class of securities.
The declaration of q dividend of 50 per

one of the cheerful incidents Of the week.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
DOoR"-LUCIA CHAMBERLAIN

(The Bobbs-Merrlll, Company. In
dianapolis.)
What shall we say is the class OF
fiction which appeals most widely
to the American reading public to-
day? Ten years ago 1t was the his
torical novel. Five years ago 1t
was the Zenda romance. Now we
venture the guess that 1t is the
story OF mystery, and call to witness
In behalf of the assertion the sue
cess of The House OF Thousand
Candles" THE Brass Bowl" THE
Circular Staircase" THE Mystery OF
the Yellow Room" Sherlock
Holmes, "Raffes," and score of
other titles.
So prevalent is the taste for mys-
terry fiction, and SO prolific is its
production, that 1t is now possible
TO subdivide 1t, and find class within
class. Conan Doyle and Anna Kath-
arine Green are writing mystery
stories in which the element of de-
lection has the emphasis. Mr.. Mich
olson, Mr.. Futrelle and others are
concerned with the adventure In the
midst OF bathing complications. Mary
Roberts Rinehart delights in mirth,
and sounds the note OF the humor OF
mystery.
II remains for Lucia Chamberlain
to develop the romance Of mystery,
In The Other Side OF the Door
there Is constant quiyering OF pal
pitation, kind OF romantic glow or
fervor entirely different and thor
/ Oughly artistic.
And this is accomplished not by
the sensational nature of the Incl
/ dents OF the plot, nor by heroics or
Mysteries, but by most skillful hand
ling % literary impressions. The
eIents in The Other Side of the
Door" are, indeed, startling enough,
involving, as they do, murder, Il
trial, and an escape. But the i'm
