"Denise, it seems important
for you to know that Keith and
I had no affaire. We went to that
inn to have three days together,
to make up our minds about
each other. It's a fact that we
clicked beyond belief, since the
winter. Not before, darling, I
give you my word)

LONDON MARKETS
READY FOR RALLY
Prices Expected to Respond
to Trade-U. S. Slump
Held Illogical.
BY LEONARD ]. REID.


LONDON, September 25-The Lon
don security markets end the week
with a satisfactory consolidation as the
best feature of the fortnightly account
settlement, which, although involving
wide differences. was achieved with
only one Insignificant failure and no
major embarrassment.
This reveals the fall in prices was
out of all proportion to the volume of
dealings here.
1t was fortunate that the recent
break in the American market COIN
cided with a low level in speculation
here. For the near outlook, only one
thing is practically certain-namely,
that, if Wall Street steadies, recovery
here will develop.
In recent weeks the London mar
kets have been dragged slightly lower
by Wall Street, but indications now
are that London, having cleared up
recent losses, will gradually break away
from New York influence and slowly
respond to the remarkable and con-
tinued evidence of expansion in do
mestic trade and industrial earnings.
There is remarkable unanimity by
Sll experienced observers here in the
belief that Wall Streets recent plunge
was wholly Illogical. unjustified by
economic facts and prospects and is
considered due purely to political
psychology acting upon thin, nervous
and restricted market conditions.

Operating Revenues Up S.4 Per

NORFOLK, Va, September 25.-
Total operating revenues for the Sea-
board Air Line Railway for the month
of August, 1887, amounted to $780,
$50, compared with s2,703, 1884 for the
same month OF 1886, an increase of
1927 ,126, or 84 per cent.
Net railway operating income for
the month shows decline from $126,-
sl4 for August, 1896, to s23.993 for
August, 1887, decrease of S102,921.
This decrease is attributable primarily
to increase in wages effective August
l, 1887, such increase amounting to
approximately 500, 900 for that month.
In addition, there is an increase of
approximately $4,000 in the August,
1887, tax accrual. The tax accrual in
August, 1896, included certain credits
referable to prior years Maintenance
charges in August, 1887, exceed the
charges for the same month of the
preceding year by approximately
$4,000, Of which approximately $58,-
600 is due to the above mentioned
wage increase.
If the above mentioned wages, tax
accrual and maintenance had been on
the same basis in August, 1887, as
they were in August, 1896, there would
have been q substantial increase in
net railway operating income for the
month rather than a decrease.
Freight revenue increased from So
141, 1865 in August, 1896, to $2.266, ,795
in August. 1887, an increase of $685..
430, or SO per cent. Passenger rev.
enue was $385,338 for August, 1887,
compared with $316,o9l for the same
month of the preceding year, an in
crease of $69,246, or 21.9 per cent.
