Derring did not go into the house.
He walked rapidly up and down the
beach. watching the angry sky and
the Isolated little house. He fancied
that. as the early twilight settled
down. It stood out more distinctly and
vividly-emphasizin its individuality
the work of man against the power
of darkness.

Rather better. isn't it?" she asked
complacently without looking up.
You have caught the very demon

1t was true. She had done what the

the paper or touch of genius had
aided the second attempt, and the
result was wash-clean and fresh in

had called the demon of the storm.

sat putting in the last few touches
lingeringly Come. You must stop.
It is too dark You will be frozen"
She began to collect her sketching
materials.
Leave those for me. Go on to the

She started obediently towards the
house. breathing on her cold fingers
to warm them. But-so fierce was the
wind-she made slow progress, and
before she reached the house he was
at her side. He opened the door that
ushered them into the low room.

greeted them looked with kindly eyes
on the young lady. She hustled about

With quick exclamation Derring
dropped to his knees beside her.

Considerable Net Recessions
in Prices of Stocks.
FACTORS ARE UNFAvoRABIE
Heavy Realizing Sales in a Number
OF Issues and the Uncertainty Re-
garding the Outcome OF the STAN
dara oil and Tobacco Cases-Bank
Rate May BE Increased.

New York, March ls.-It was an event.
ful time to-day in stocks. although prices
again moved downward and closed at
considerable net recessions. Pressure OF
liquidation began Immediately after the
opening of business. and It was obvious
that speculative sentiment was generally.
although not perhaps acutelys depressed
by the looming up into prominence Of
various unfavorable market factors.
It could not be said to-day that any
one Of these matters stood forth In
stronger light than II did yesterday or
at any time during the week. but, taken
in the mass. to-day they seemed to
possess a more or less cumulative force.
The manifest fact that in the last week
there have been heavy realizing sales Of
stock, continual uncertainty as 10 the
result OF the Standard OIL and American
Tobacco cases and increasing doubt. If
anything, as to whether this result
would be satisfactory from the financial
point Of view, an unmistakable tighten
ing OF the money situation, and a grow
ing inclination to regard the country's
charging debit trade balance as q mat
ter that must compel, sooner or later, a
radical lowering of commodity prices
here. and also the introduction OF greater
personal economy-au these have been
jointly and individually reports for the
weakness in the market In the last few
days.
Discount Rate May Go Up.
More concern than regarding anything
else seemed to be manifested to-day as
10 the likelihood OF an advance to-mor-
row 81 the Bank Of England's discount
rate. and ii must be said that expecta-
ton was general that If the bank rate
was not advanced tomorrow it sool
would be, ia view Of the comparatively
weakened financial condition OF the insti-
tuition. There were, indeed. those who
asserted that It was not impossible that
the bank rate tomorrow might be adj
vanced from per cent, its present fig
ure, not only to 80. but TO 4 per cent.
and II the bank rate does rise in the
near future. it must inevitably be ac-
companied with higher rates for the use
OF funds here.
Before the noon hour OF business to-
day was reached declines were from one
to two points in stocks of the class OF
United states Steel common, Union Pa
cific common. Amalgamated Copper, and
Southern Pacific. As this brought market
valuations to q level materially below
the high prices of a week ago. q strong
disposition manifested itself among
operators for the fall 10 recover their
stocks. Some little speculative buying
for the rise also made its appearance,
and under these two influences prices
rose moderately until the last half hour
OF business. Then they again sold of,
closing, however. well above the lowest
OF the day.
The pamphlet report Of the Steel Cor
poration for the fiscal year 1909. pub
nshed to-day. bore out all the favorable
predictions as to its general tenor that
have lately been made. but contained no
surprises.
