As the afternoon went on fresh buy
ing cropped out in various directions.
with the result that the advance was
resumed in quite number of individual
stocks. But it was fortunate that some
sort of halt, even although it were only
partial. should have been called upon
the speculation. Otherwise it would
have been in danger of getting out of
bounds, with all the dsagreeable con-
sequences that We're sure to follow.
AS it was, the fluctuations We're the
most violent of any day so far.
Prices started in where they had left
off Tuesday, and there were further
occasional advances lasting through
the first half hour or so. Then the
selling movement became very heavy
and the market responded with what

cline Stocks were carried off to 3

FAMOUS WOMEN
QUEEN ELENA

Italy's Queen. the stately. com manding. yet democratic Elena, is 50 years of age. The daughter of Nicholas I. of Montenegro, she was the Russian Court Although a Slav, she has from the day of her mar riage to Victor Emmanuel. in 1896. been a true adopted daughter of Italy. Tho fact that there was no political reason for the heir of the Italian throne to wed this princess of a petty state, has given color to the assertion so often made that the alliance was . real love match. Ger tainly the Princess was beautiful enough to charm any Prince. The late Queen Victoria wrote of her: "I have lost my heart to Elena, tho youngest of them. also the loveIiest, who is perfectly sweet and fascinat- ing. with the prettiest manners and a clever head and tongue" This was the Elena. '-dfvinely tall and divine lS fairf' that met the Prince of Naples. Italy's future monarch, at an exhibition in Venice, in 1886, and immediately won his heart.
