men closed in tight embrace. In a few
moments Bill went backwards out of the
place, and landed on the sidewalk.

French Loan Rises Again-Business
Is Still Quiet

LONDON, April 1O.-,Although business
in securities on the Stock Exchange re.
mained quiet today, the feeling was cheer
full.
Alterations in prices in the American
department were slight, but the group
lacked stcadiness. There was some buy.
Ing of Denver and Rio Grandes.
In sympathy with Yankees, Canadian
Pacifics were inclined to sag. Support
was furnished to home railway shares
and they advanced. fractional inn
provement also was noted in Argentines.
The French loan was buoyant again, rls.
ing to S6ls. Inside assistance offset the
adverse position in exchange, which has
lowered the net yield to 5 per cent Rus
slams were steady following the publica.
tion of the budget of that country.
Easy money helped the gilt.edg,d sec
tion, which hardened. Kafiirs were firm
on buying by Johannesburg.
Under the lead of Royal Dutch issues
the tone of oils was good. There was
prOfit-taking in Marconis.

London Friday), June l6.-The Aus
trtans have evacuated Czernowitz capital
OF Bukowina, according to dispatches to
the semi-official Petrograd News Agency
from Bukowina by way of Bucharest. The
fate of the right wing of the Austrian
army which was defending this city is
not yet known. Yesterdays dispatches,
however, said that It was not in immedi-
ate danger.
The news followed the announcement
that the Grand Duke Leopold had re-
pulsed the Russians north of Czernowitz
and that between Rovno and the Kovel-
Kolh Railway north of Lutsk. the Rus
SLAMS have been halted in their attempts
to cross the river.
Once more the outstanding features,
apart from the fall of Czernowitz, are
steadily mounting number Of Austrian
prisoners and the Austrian abandonment
of such enormous quantities Of military
spoils that Russia is absolutely unable to
catalog them.
