The reception OF the delegation

NEW YORK, Feb. European mar.
kets again led IN todays financial
movement; our own repeating the un-
certain, though rather rapid fiuctua-
tions OF the past few business days. Al
London the stock market opened as
last week closed. Discount rates on
Lombard.st. went below | rs per cent.
comparing with 2 3-4 only week ago.
Prices on the New York stock ex-
change opened lower. with Europe
selling rather heavily. AS on Satur-
day Rock island shares were the par
ticular centre OF weakness, but other
active stocks moved irregularly. Some
OF them advanced after the first trans
actions, but the gains were not, as u
rule. important and the later tendency
was downwari.
The somewhat confused transactions
OF the day left the net changes very
divergent. Except for the Rock island
Thares, which recovered towards rhe
last. the majority of important stocks
closed around the lowest OF the day,
after transactions of fairly large to-
tai magnitude. call money rose to 3
per cent around today's closing, a
higher rate than any OF last week.

The third divorce. If granted. Is ex.
pected TO be the charm.
The third application grew out OF
the fac! that a 500 COW, the pride o.
the wife, was sold by Ernest for sac
which went into the tills of various
saloonkcpers. Emma claimed the COW
WAS hers and that she had cared for
II since II was calf until IL had en-.

MIR. Ingram has been in favor OF

against the leader OF his party in the

that the mayor can revoke this IL
