Features of the Days Dealings in All

New York, June 2.-Trading on the
stock exchange today was character
lied by extensive and comprehensive
dealings mainly at higher prices, but
interest in the market itself was
ovcrshadowcd by interesting de-
velopments in the domestic and fore
ign money markets.
Call loans opened at per cent, the
highest initial figure in three
months, relaxing when all early de-
mands had been met at 4 IL per
cent. Time money hardened frac-
tionally and accommodations again
were limited to short maturites.
British exchange continued to
feature international currencies, de-
mand bills on London rising to AL
"a, an overnight advance of two
cents to the pound and the highest
quotation in three years.
Other European exchanges shared
only Slightly in the strength of
sterling, allied bills gaining an aver
age of about two points, with a re-
action in the German rate. Neutrals.
especially the Dutch rate, rallied
from yesterdays setback, although
private cables reported additional

by rebel bullet. "Old Abe" scared
gTandly above the smoke of the bat
tie. Suddenly catching sight of his
regiment and 'flag, he swooped down
to his OLD perch uttering terrific
screams.
At the close of the war his feath-
ers were eagerly sought for at $40
each. Thousands of school children
in the United States were organized
INTO y society called THE American
Eagle The purpose of the socje-
ty was to sell little history of Abe's
career, with his photograph. Tho

let history amounting to S16,30S %.

soldiers.
Mr.. Sewall, a Chicago publisher,
made the following suggestions: A
child who sold one of Abe's pictures
for ten cents was to be considered a
private in the Army of the Ameri-
can Eagle" One who sold q dol
lars worth YVES made a corporal.
Five dollars made a list lieutenant;

cy of the children. Through General

children in the Fair building with
all the pOmp of speeches and music.
At this time a western gentleman
offered $4,000 for him and L. T.
Barnum offered 100000, but he re-
manned ward of the State of Wis
Consin. Money couldn't buy him. A
marble statue was made of him by
Il famous sculptor; and when Abe
was exhibited in Boston. an artist
was commissioned to paint his por-
trait, which still hangs in the Old
South Church of that city. Many
important documents have been
signed with pens made from "Old

spread over Europe. The American
