Clinker beckoned through the window,

regarded him indifferently. He sat down

CHAPTER XII.

Old Delilah sat in her spotless sma
house. 1t was furnished with relics o:
out-of- date furniture that her late mis-.
tress had given her, from time to time.
A pier-glass with a heavily gilded frame,
the top Of it lavishly ornamentcd in re.
coco style, reached from the floor quite
to the ceiling, which was dazzling with
whitewash, as also were the walls. A
life-sized portrait in oil of Richard q
mother hung on n wall. The old negress
sat before the fire in a large mahogany
easy-chair, the cover of which was a faded
brocatelle Of rich design. She had quits
a modern CRATE, in which burned d good
coal FIRE.
Come in" she said, in response to a
knock at the door.
It was Clinker, who had come down
the day before.

her in his arms, and she looked up, smil-

"My opinions have degenerated, Paul;

we need not quarrel again over anything
human or divine. Paul, why did you stay
SO long?"

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, March 6.-The stock eX-
change generally experienced a quiet
week Of trading, the early weakness and
uncertainty being replaced by increasing
strength Values Of leading gilt-edged
securities and foreign shares closed a
shade higher than last week. The Balkan
news again was a dominating feature;
the reports that Servia refused to with
draw her demands for territorial COM
pensation at the hands of Austria-Hun-
gary and for the autonomy of Bosnia.

heavily until Thursday, when the situa-
tion became distinctly better by Servia's S
more pacific policy, bringing continental
repurchases and inducing more free in
vestment buying under which the whole
Of the earlier declines were wiped out.
The improving position of the Bank of
England's reserve and the prospects of
cheaper money assisted in the good
tone, with a hardening tendency at the
end of the week. American securities
continued uncertain and irregular.
Prospects of a tariff revision, the poor
trade reports and the reduction In wages
in the steel trade in the United States
operated here against increased commit
ments, and only moderate movements
occurred. through covering operations. in
spite Of the sharp recovery In metal
prices The inaugural address of Presi-

the market today hardened in anticipa-
ton of a good New York bank statement

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, March 6.-Buying by shorts
who had sold on yesterdays sharp break
caused firmness in the wheat market
today. At the close prices showed net
gain for the day of ss to &c. Corn, oats
and provisions also closed strong.
The unexpected happened in the wheat
pit today Trade in general had been
looking for a renewal of yesterdays SELL
ing pressure and further break In prices,
but instead the market displayed consid-
cradle frmness throughout the entire ses-
sion. Leading bulls gave the May delivery
moderate support at various times. but
the principal demand came from those
who had sold short yesterday. The vol
ume of trading. however, was not large.
Many traders were inclined to hold aloof
today, owing to the forthcoming report of
government experts which will be made
public Monday, and which will show the
amount of wheat in the hands of farmers
on March 1. There was little news to
inspire either buying or selling. Cables
were weak, but did not fully respond to
the slump here yesterday
Throughout the day prices f1uctuated
over a range of q to 1c, May selling be-
tween 1.151a and 1.16A. The market
closed strong at almost the top. with May
at 1.161sa1.16A and July at 1.04$a1. 041s.
New high records for the season were
established in all deliveries Of corn. May
sold at 6S4 and July 67s4. The market
was bullishly affected by light country
acceptances Of wheat and an official fore
cast of unsettled weather for the corn
belt. Commission houses had a fair vol
ume of buying orders. and this forced
covering by local shorts. The market was
strong all day and closed at net gains
of q to 1c, compared with the previous
close. May at 6o1s to 6SA and July at
67@sa6724
Realizing by country holders caused
moderate weakness in oats at the start,
but the market rallied early in the day
and continued firm the remainder Of the
session. At the close prices were u to 14c
higher, compared with yesterdays final
quotations, May being 561s and July 5O1s.
Provisions were strong all day and
closed at net gains of 15a171a to 37h. An
interview by a leading local packer, pub
lished in the morning papers and which
was of an extremely bullish character,
prompted considerable buying by invest
ors, while shorts were scared into cover
ing, and longs added to their lines The
strength of coarse grain also had some
effect,

The Financier tomorrow will say:
The statement of the associated banks
of the city of New York for the week
ending March 6 showed very little change
compared with the previous report. The
decrease In loans, based on the report
of actual conditions, was only $1O1 800,
and the decrease in specie and legal ten
ders was $1,3S79OO. Deposits showed a
change Of 81. 739. 900. due to the decrease
of cash, and the reserve decrease was
S952.925, making the present surplus above
legal requirements $12, ,392925.
1t has been anticipated that with an
other New York city bond sale and one
or two large railroad bond offerings loans
would show an expansion. but this was
not the case. The banks are gaining
from the interior. and the receipts from
this source are more than sufficient to
Offset the export of gold. which still con-
tinues in small volume.
The summary of state banks and trust
companies in Greater New York not re-
porting to the clearing house showed
larger changes for the week than those
noted by the associated banks. Loans of
the state banks and trust companies de-
creased $11, ,126.5OO last week. The loss
In specie and legals was s.. 234, 400, while
net deposits fell of $4,71S,9OO.
The actual cash reserve in tho clearing
house banks Is now 1884 per cent; the
cash reserve in vault carried by the
state banks Is 1429 per cent, and the cash
in vault reported by trust companies is
1925 per cent.

MANCHESTER CLOTH.

MANCHESTER, March 6.-Busness in
the cloth market during the week was OF
meager dimension and barely sufficient to
test values. but the possibility of the
mills being run on short time had a hard
ening effect on the quotations. Business
was comprised of odd lots of cloths for
India, China and the Mediterranean, with
a better turnover over home trade descrip-
tions. Yarns were only in moderate sup
ply and sales were effected at Is advance.
The prospects of an organized reduction in
the output had no effect on the demand,
which at present is poor.
