A TICKLE LOVER

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
] have been going with 4 young
man of twenty-eight, hve years my
senior, for Ave years, including one
year of which / have been engaged.
A girl in his offiot who is eighteen
wrote him she was madly in love
With him, and since then he has
neglected me. / have given up all
my friends and pleasure looking
toward future with him. What
do you advise. HEARTBROKEN.
or course any response your
fiance makes to this bold and en-
terprising young person is due to
gratffied vanity or the sense of ad-
venture caused by his excitement
at having hef do the wooing so
brazenly. Why don't you look at
IL as a humorous adventure and by
laughing at IL good-Raturedly make
him feel that he's having a lark
which you also enjoy and that the
whole thing is beneath the notice

NEW YORK, November 26.-Contin-
rance of the recent extraordinary de-
mand for bonds was the salient fea-
ture of another active week on the
led the further advance, most of the
liberty bonds exceeding previous
maximums Of the year.
The strength of railroad stocks was
another hopeful development. Trans
continentals and coalers received sub
stantial support on improved earn
ings. Publication of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas reorganization
plan was considered noteworthy be-
cause it removed another road from
the long list of receiverships.
Day-to-Day Trading.
Erratic movements of industrials
and many unclassified stocks seemed
to denote little more than the day-to-
day operations Of professional trad
ers. Oils were less prominent, but
generally higher, and steels and
equipments were sustained by better
inquiry.
Wall street was plainly disappoint-
ed at the rejection Of President Hard
ings surtax suggestions by the House
Of Representatives. This incident
was without pronounced effect as
market factor, however. bear raids
being of short duration.
Trustworthy advices reported
marked increases of production in
many branches of industry. These
were invariably Offset by high costs
of manufacture, net returns, in the
steel and allied trade, for example.
leaving a scant margin of profit.
Effects Of Armament Discussion.
Latest phases of the armament con-
ference occasioned restraints notably
in the foreign exchange market. The
British rate proved least susceptible
to this influence, but French and 1tal-
ian quotations were nervous, and an
other acute collapse of German marks
threatened.
Interior banks contributed meas
urably to the plethora of funds in the
local market, and a slight easement
of rates for short-time loans was
noted. This did not extend to call
money. for which a 5 per cent rate
prevailed.
Notwithstanding the weeks heavy
shifting Of funds. the clearing house
statement today showed an actual de-
crease of $29.250.000 in loans and dis
counts. The only other noteworthy
change was a contraction of about
S15,0O0.000 in cash, with consequent
reductions of excess reserves to $14.-
$4,000.

STRUCTURAL STEEL
IS IN FAIR DEMAND
Railway Requirements Fur
nish Steady Trade-Copper
Shows Slight Advance.

NEW YORK. November 2s.-The
steel market is barely holding its
own in point of activity and values.
There Is a fair demand for struc-
quirements furnish steady business
and there is some improvement in
the demand for pipe. The trade at
large. however, appears to be
shrinking somewhat and a DISPOSE
tion on the part of producers to shade
present rate of production gives the
market an easier appearance. Pig
iron is very quiet with buyers indif-
ferent. Prices are irregular with an
easier tendency, especially in rela-
tion to inquiries of more than mod
crate proportions, and on the whole
the market is heavy.
The demand for copper has been a
in sufficient volume to- encourage
holders and maintain prices at a fur
ther slight advance. A moderate ex-
port business has been reported on
the basis of 1871 for electrolytic

some of the larger producers have

ton, December and January ship
mept. on the basis of 1885 to 13k
cents delivered. Sales on domestic
and foreign account for the month
are expected to total between 125 and
$50 million pounds. Casting copper
has also ruled stronger in sympathy
with electrolytic, but comparatively
little business has been reported.
Lead remains steady. The position
of Missouri operators has been i'm
proved through the impending cut in
freight rates and London cables have
been more bullish.
Tin has eased off from the highest

this month is expected to show an

The demand for antimony continues

The Bache Weekly Review has this
to say:
We have fully recognized the plight
OF the farmers in this country in
many articles in the Bache Review,
and believe that everything possible
should be done in a sound way to
help them out. But we think that
the agricultural bloc is hurting their
The bills they are putting over do

amount more of harm than good.
The tangling up of the cotton con-
tracts on the exchanges has probably
cost the cotton growers of the south
last five years. The wheat farmers
have been heavily punished by the
Capper- -Tincher bill regulating grain
contracts in Chicago.
Another instance is in the matter
of taxation. The excess profits tax
and the income tax have driven
capital out of business or crippled it
to an enormous extent. and this has
left the country without sufficient
FUNDS and without encouragement to
carry on business or to inaugurate
new business.
AS we understand 1t, the agricul-
tural bloc wants this method of
taxation continued, and has swung
the Senate and House into approval
of such continue ton. This means
that business must be left in a sup
pressed and strangled condition.
While We fully appreciate that the
country cannot get along at all with
out agricultural activity. yet neither
can the farmers prosper or even earn
living unless the business, of the
country is good. This being so. we
have advocated a small, widely dis

not be felt at alD, instead of the
whole. tax burden being left upon
business. as at present, with the re-
suit that business is throttled and
prosperity made impossible.

rests upon him. He is sent to WASH
ington not only to speak for his dis
trict, but also to give the greater
care to the welfare of the nation as

this matter of taxation not only hurts
