NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. June 1.-THE first three
hours of today's stock market dealings
We're very light and quite inconsequen-
tai varying from irregularity to heavi-
ness. Later the list became weak and
feverish, with marked increase of bus
mess. There followed certain amount
of liquidation, with a liberal sprinkling
of short selling. The movement was ar
rested after leading stocks had recorded
declines of two to three points from yes
terdays closing, but the undertone re-
manned unsettled to the close. Contra
~ to general expectations, the market al
Inc outset gave no visible signs of relief
or satisfaction at the indefinite suspen-
sion of activities by the congressional
money power. Investigating committee,
neither did it in any tangible way reflect
the temporary halt in the proceedings OF
the dissolution suit of the government
against the United States Steel Corpora
ton. As a matter of fact, the general
attitude of the trading public towards
the market was largely one of detach-
ment or indifference, and the days deal
lngs probably represented little more
than the operations of professional trad
ers.
Quite apart from the factors outlined
certain stocks, including the fertilizers
and ontario x Western, We're under pres
sure from the outset, the result, in all

LIFE6oAT LIKE SUBMARINE.

That this life-boat, the invention of a
young Norwegian, bears striking re-
semblance TO a submarine craft. 1t can
be steered from inside or outside The
ballast tanks are filled with fresh wa
ter, which may be used for drinking.
The boat has sails and a collapsible
mast The latter is seen, lying hori-
zontally, amidships. across the coming
tower. Should the sea be too rough for
the craft TO be launched from daYits,
the idea IS that passengers should be
embarked, the matches fastened down,
and the lashngs undone. Then, it is
asserted, if the ship sinks. the life boat
may go down with it. but will certainly
rise TO the surface again. The photo
graph shows one of the craft fitted on
the "Rundo," at Hull.-The Sketch.

Expert Tells How Governments Raise
Money and Give Public Square
Deal

Let us take what happens when an
English city and likewise French city
wish to raise loans he SAYS. Perhaps
the English municipality raises a mill
lion pounds at per cent. The interest
per annum is $4,000. which is distribu-
ted pro rata among the bondholders.
n France il is very different. The
same amount may he raised and at the
same interest But the full amount Of
the latter is not paid out annually. A
certain proportion Of it is reserved for
a special fund From this fund great
number of cash bonuses are distributed
among the bondholders. The drawings
take place al fixed periods, generally
every Two months
"A bond receiving the largest bonus
(eA1;000 it may be) is automatically
Cancelled, and thus the city reduces its
debt year by ear. Whereas the English
corporation at the end of the time has
not only paid out more interest than the
French have. il still owes the fun Gl,-
600. Geo and has to establish a sinking
fund &c meet il. Those who do not
draw = bonus have a security of their
capital and interest guaranteed. while
tho bonds are ultimately redeemable al
par value. which is generally more than
the original cost of the bond and occa-
sionally twice as much.
1T is not an exaggeration to say
that hardly a single investor is 10 be
found in the length and breadth of
France who has not at least a few hun
bred francs in either rentes or in offi-
cialle authorized municipal loans. He
invests it in a lottery bond, OF which
he may buy as little as fourth or in
some instances even a fifth, There are
drawings four, six or eight times a
year. as, the case may be, and the
prizes vary from G4,e00 to 100000, the
smaller prizes worth from $40 to e.
600
The method of the drawings is nat
urally of interest The law of the land
enacts that they must take place in
pubic and no one can be refused ad-
mittanee. AT each drawing the Gov
ernor of the bank and other officials
are present. First list of the big
prizes to be drawn for is read out and
the number of those bonds which are
to be redeemed al par is stated Each
number is drawn by a boy from a
large revolving drum. and before put
ting his hand in the opening the boy
faces those present with his hands in
the air, fingers outspread and with his
arm hare TO the elbow to show that
nothing is concealed.
AS he takes each scroll from the
apparatus the chief officials present re
moves the copper covering and reads
out the lucky number. after which the
scroll is passed around to the press for
notification. This is repeated until all
the prize winning numbers have been
drawn. After this the drawing for the
bonds which are to be redeemed at par
takes place, the boy drawing them in
handfuls and putting them into a crys-
tai bowl, from which they are taken.
sorted end counted by the clerks. After
the drawing the wheel is sealed and
put away until the next occasion. The
boy who does the actual drawing is us
ually selected from one of the schools
or orphanages and is given 10 francs
for mis- trouble. '-Westminster Review.
