Defensive bids are not generally based on any hope of game or slam, and the best the defensive bidder can look for is to cake partial score, or to escape with q small penalty.
 Any bid made after the oppo- nents have opened the bidding should be construed as defensive unless 1t is definitely proved other- wise by aggressive re-bids. A play CT holding a strong hand with pos abilities of game, when the oppo- nents have opened the bidding, should either:
 Make an informatory double, Example,: South one spade, West double, or
 2--Make jump overcall in his own suit. Example,: South one dia- mond, West two spades, South one Fheart, West three clubs.
 Defensive bids should be slight ly stronger when vulnerable. and the suit named must contain five cards because of the danger that weak spot may be doubled and penalized heavily.
 Tho informatory double forces partner to name his best suit, how ever weak. His only excuse for pas sing is absolute certainty that tho contract can be set, and that the resulting penalty will be more val uablc than any contract that could be made by his side.
 If he holds q weak hand, he should make q minimum response. Example: South one spade, West | double. North pass East two dla- monds. This bid indicates that East has four or moro diamonds but little high card strength and has no desire to continue bidding If East has one and one-half I high card tricks and biddable suit. he should make jump re- sponse. Example,: South one dia- mond. West double. North. pass. East two spades. This bid Is strong ly constructive. and indicates that East has enough strength 50 game is probable for his side. | Great caution should be used in supporting a defensive bid. 1t should be assumed to be weak un- less the defensive bidder shows, by q re-bid, that his hand contains q | fair amount of strength.

The wet stocks were the leaders at
the end but the whole list improved
more or less.
Sterling exchange as weN as the
European gold currencies reacted in

was the resumption Of dividends by the

Colorado Stocks Sold.

not be paid on the Colorado industrial

selling into the Colorado stocks, but was

Market Gets Rest.
The report was that there had been
a substantial increase in the short ac-
count in Mondays session. 1t looked as
though these commitments were being
retired today. The most reassuring
thing about the trading was its re-
straint. What the market needs is a
rest from speculative excess, and it was
getting it today.
Railway car loadings continued to
make favorable comparisons with those

an increase of 81 per cent for the week

y ABDUCTION in the hunting season for the
" past two years has aided materially in
saving certain types Of waterfowl from con-
dition bordering on extinction. but conditions
in some cases are still none too good.
During the seasons 1881 and 1882 waterfowl
had reached the lowest point on record.
through elimination of unfavorable conditions,
including serious and long-continued droughts
in many of the most important northwestern
breeding areas This made it necessary to re-
strict the hunting season to a single month
in 1891, and to two months in 1882. Many
species are still at seriously low ebb, but
the status of waterfowl on the whole is slightly
better than in 1881 This is due to some in
crease in snow and rainfall consequent i'm
provement in the food supply, and to saving
the breeding stock by reducing the kill during
the last two seasons.
