New York, Feb. 1S.-The event OF
the week was an importan change ii
tho management of the Gould system
uf roads and the turning of them
over to prominent banking interests.
The talk of a contest FOR Missouri
Pacific was unfounded for the reason
that these negotiations nave been 60
ing on in friendly manner for some
time past This transaction eliminates
one more weak spot from the finaA
cial situation. And now that the
Gould properties have fallen into ex.
ceptionally strong hands, the prob
ability is that an era OF reconstruc-
ion and Upbuilding rs in store for
these lines. Whether they will be
lemoulded into an Independent system
or whether they will be parcelled Out
among other systems is not yet d.
vulged; but it may be accepted as
important plans in prospect which
will ultimately affect the railroad
world favorably. In any event this
lcal removes an important element
+ uncertainty from the mar ket and
should add to the stability Of values
In an important group or railroads.
Plenty of Money.
Following the advance of 10 points
which has taken place since early De-
,emher there was continued realizing
and taking Of profits, This distribn-
ton of stocks heretofore held in
strong hands naturally weakened the
technical position. Money is plentiful
and outside conditions Snow an i'm
proving tendency, but owing to the
cprfinued conservative attitude OF
banking interests there Is no DISPOSE
ion to foster undue speculation. AS
expected, the Bank CT England rae
was lowered this week to 3B per-
cent, this action emphasizing the easy
and improved condition of monetary
affairs in London. In Paris also there
is an abundance of loanable funds,
and throughout Europe financial and
industrial matters are N better form
han for some time past. This fact
$, of course, favorable TO the placing
of American securities in foreign
markets. During the last two months
Europe has been a liberal subscriber

Edwin Noble In THE Dog Lovers

two famous deerhounds Help anu
| Hold, a monument to which can he
seen to this day at Roslin chapel.
The legend is that King Robert
Bruce while hunting upon the Penl-
land hills had several times started
a white deer. but had hitherto been
unable to capture it. It had always
so quickly outdstanced his own
hounds that he began to imagine that
1t was gifted with supernatural pow
crs and could not be overtaken by
mortal dogs. Naturally his mobiles
agreed with him. as there WINS no ora
bold enough to affirm that he 0wnei
hounds which were better than those
possessed by his sovereign.
There was, however. one exception,
William st. Clair, who wagered his
head that his two favorite hounds.
Help and Hold, would kill the deer
before she crossed the Pentland brook.
Bruce accepted the challenge and wa
gered the forest Of Pentland moor
against Sir Williams head.
The white deer was reused by cou-
rle of bloodhounds and given fair
start before st. Clair released his two
favorltes. After long chase. follow
ed by Sir William aud Bruce on horse
lack, the deer reached tie brook. and
Cir William. feeling sure that he had
lost his wager. prepared to give HIM
self into the hands of Truce, but be-
, fore the deer could get farther than
halfway across Hold had seized her.
and, Help coming up at the same mo.
ment. they forced her to turn bark. In
the end she was killed within the stip-
ulated boundary
