Lire Weak.

Rrate$ on allied exchange broke sharply
yesterday from tho high levels reached
at the close on Thursday. The decline.
however. did not reach the record low

due to large offering of exchange by
persons who had been holding for a
higher quotation. The bears had covered

tie demand for the bills offered. That
was the reason for the break. There was
no news development during the day that
affected the market.
Sterling cables closed at 3637s and de-
mand 363h, a net loss of nearly two
points. Francs broke 7A points, Belgium
francs seven points and lire ten points.
German marks declined ten points to a
record low and Austrian kronen moved one
point against that country.
Scandinavian, Spanish and Swiss rates
were strong. while Danish and Greek ex-

The home Of J. w. Peters on East
Fourth street was nearly destroyed
by fire last Saturday morning. The
upper story was completely consumed
by the flames before the arrival of
the fire department. detained by a
previous fire. The water pressure
was very low and the hand pumps
had to be used.
The clothing and furniture was
saved but the entire house was con-
siderably damaged by the flames and
water. 1t was covered by insurance.
At the time of the fire the wind
was blowing hard and it was though
for time that number of adjoin-
ing houses would get on fire, but the
efficient work of the department soon
got the flames under control.

different proposition from what they
had been led to believe.
Twice in his lecture the speaker
