The improvement in values begun yesterday
afternoon made further progress in th** stock
market to-day, and under a more extended in
terest in dealings the murket recorded larger
sales than have been seen for a week. The Bal
timore and Ohio deal is again the subject of dis
cussion. The assertion that Western Union was
in the deal had a very great influence upon the
general market. A powerful faction in the im
proved feeling was the favorable report of rail
road earnings for the first week in May. Many
operators wno have lately held aloof from the
market were buyers to-day, and several of the
leaders of the street are reported to have
changed from the bear to the bull side. Chicago
bought Grangers freely, and the latter once
more became prominent in the dealings. For
eigners bought Northern Pacific stocks and
many of their specialties. HI. Paul and Duluth
was remarkably strong by reason of the prox
imity of th ■ June elections, when it is expected
another ui tempt will be made to force a decline
of profits to holders of the common stock. Last-
Tennessee was again strong on a good foreign
demand, and among other specialties which
showed marked strength were Colorado Coal,
Long Island and Pullman. Coal stocks were
quiet, though firm, and business in Reading was
the first that has lieen seen for months. The
remainder of the market presented no feature
of note. The opening was Irregular, but firm,
and was followed by a quiet market in which
there was a decided movement in prices, al
though fractional advances were made through
out the list during the forenoon. After 12
o’clock, however, the market displayed much
more animation, Western Union and Grangers
taking first place in the dealings. A stronger
tone was developed, and by 2 o’clock advances
had boon established ranging up to 2 per cent.,
the latter in St. Paul and Duluth. Realizations
induced a reaction in the lust hour, but the dose
was steady to firm at fractional accessions from
best, prices, and the entire active list was higher,
with advances ranging up to 3-is lx-reent. Total
sales 266,000 shares, the market cloning at the

Manchester, May 11.—The Guardian says:
“Markets in less favorably situated sections
have given away in a varying degree without in
creasing business. Even in the strongest sec
tions sellers are beginning to feel the effect of
the prolonged depression in the shape of greatly
narrowed demand. Lack of business is very
keenly felt in some directions. The production
is undoubtedly quietly falling off in a few dis
tricts. There will probably be a further de
crease in production, unless an unlooked for re
vival ensues. There are few orders from India
merchants, and fewer still are feasible. There
is little more business for China, chiefiy in best
shirtings. Few orders were placed for smaller
foreign markets, but business often showed a
decided falling off. Yarns are inactive. Cloth
is in moderate inquiry, but at prices which, in
many eases, are infeasible. Manufacturers
show an increasing desire to sell. Some are
glad to get prices refused last week, which are
now frequently impossible toget. India staples
are neglected.”

Green A Co.’s renorr, on cotton futures says:
“Fuller business and sharp skirmishing has
broken the lame tone somewhat to-day. Large
buying orders came in early, especially for June,
and as they began to develop the demand was
increased by some free coverings and the cost
of the old crop went up 9@12 points almost
without check. This seemed to bring matters
up to the waiting limit of some operators and
drew out heavy offerings, under which there
was a shrinkage of 7®.8 points and made a final
net gain of only about :<£) points, though the
close was probably a trim? steady. In fact, the
market took up the supply very well.”

Chicago, May 11.—All the conditions this
morning seemed to favor the bull side of the
market. Besides cables there was a report of
drought In Hie West and Northwest, and the
effect of yesterday’s government crop report,
which showed material decline in the condition
of the crop, had not vet worn no ay. Juno
opened at tWAc, nr.d advanced until it reached
86R.V... At tins point the clique and long crowd
began selling wheat, and June dropped back to
83jfce. In less than an hour after the opening
the clique had again successfully milked the
crowd, and marketed a lot of wheat, which cost
them 86c on .Monday, at 30)sc down to 88c, at
which point they stopped selling. After prices
got down to ,80c for June it remained quiet, and
comparatively little trailing was done. Coni
did not follow wheat. Shorts in corn arc very
cautious, and inclined to cover. June was held
steady at 4d 4c. the opening prion, all the time
wheat was going down, and there were imtner
ous buyers at that figure. June ribs were weak
early, went do-.vn from $7 42)6 to $7 35, but
later recovered and advanced to $7 45. Igird
was dull and quiet.

ROACH THE TERROR.
How a Rich Man Became His Partner
in Evil.
From the Chicago News.
An amusing story conies to us from the
for West. For a long time an outlaw name<l
Roach the Terror hail been the scourge of
the mountain districts of Idaho, and last
month he waylaid and proceeded to rob one
Bivens, a wealthy gentleman who was trav
eling through the Territory on mining busi
ness. While the two were thus employed —
one in robbing and the other in being robbed
—they suddenly became aware of the ap
proach of a mountain Jion, one of those
stealthy, cruel monsters that inhabit and
lay waste the fastenpssos of the Rooky
mountain region. Roach immediately
dropped his booty and skinned up a tree as
nimbly as ever he could; ns for the other
man, he didn’t stop to pick up his property
—he followed Roach up the tree with
marked alacrity. The fierce lion, flaunting
its tail savagely, licking its hideous fangs
and rolling its glassy eyeballs suggestively,
looked up at the two men in the tree and
prepared to join them.
“11avo you a pistol ?” asked Roach the
Terror.
“No,” said Bivens, the traveler, “but in
my belt 1 carry a knife fourteen inches
Ion"”
“Then,” suggested the Terror, “suppose
you stick the knife into that varmint when
ho reaches out for us."
“Yes, hut if I leave the knife in the lion,”
said Bivens, “and if he should fall with it,
what protection have 1 against youi No, I’ll
keep the knife and let you shoot the critter
with that pistol.”
“Yes, but sup])osing I do shoot him,” said
Roach, “what protection have I against
your knife when my pistol is empty?”
Meanwhile the lion w r ns coming up the
tree with alarming rapidity. Ho seemed to
grow three feet every way as he advanced
foot by foot.
“Unless wo can come to a compromise,”
said Roach, “the varmint will eat us both,
lot’s agree to this: You stab him and I’ll
shoot him—at any rate, either we folks or
that critter has got to die!"
“That’s so,” said Bivens, “and I’ll accept
the compromise.”
So when the lion got within range Roach
blazed away at it and Bivens reached down
and drove bis knife clean up to the hilt in
the monster’s breast. The lion fell to the
ground with a bullet hole in his head and
eleven inches of steel in his lungs. Then
Roach and Bivens descended from the tree.
They had escaped so narrowly that they
could not be other than friends. Each was
indebted to the other for his life. They re
solved not to separate, and now they are en
gaged in the 1 audit business together in the
Idaho fastnesses.
QUEEN VICTORIA TRAVELING.
Royal Steam Cars No Better Than
Ordinary American Sleepers.
Prom Cassell's Family Magazine.
The Queen’s saloons are in the centre of
the train, and these commodious carriages
fitted for day and night traveling, her
majesty occupies with Princess Beatrice.
There are two beds in the sleeping compart
ment, which o]>en.s from the flay saloon.
The beds are simple, in green and gilt fur
niture and fittings, something like elaborate
* ‘cot*’’ in shape, and generally the interior
fittings of the train leave nothing to be de
sired. The floors are carpeted, the ceilings
padded, the wide windows curtained, tne
lamps deeply shaded. Electric bells com
municate with the attendants or the officials,
and by pressing a button at the end of a
long variagated cord or tsill-pull the alarm
is sounded in the van. A separate electric
button IS fixed In each side of the sleeping
compartment, by which the attendants
may be sununonedj another button when
pressed will cause tne train to stop as quick-
ly as may he.
' There are tic Westinghouse, vacuum and
ordinary brakes fitted to the train, which
are worked as required by the exigencies of
the locomotives of tho different companies
over whoso lines her majesty travels, some
engines being fitted with vacuum iqul others
with the Westinghouse brakes. The usual
furniture, comfortable but simple, and a
lavatory, are all included in the Queen’s sa
loons. There are hooks and racks for par
cels, wraps, birdcages and small bundles, of
which her majesty and the Princesses con
vey a good supply. The late John Brown
used to occupy a seat in the royal day sa
loon, back to the engine as the train stood,
and facing the door of the Queen’s apart
ments, so as to be within call at once.
The carriages are warmed with hot water
pipes. Nothing is wanted to render the jour
ney as little irksome and as little fatiguing
as possible. Tho carriages exteriorly are
bright and clean and newly polished. Tho
wheels are “solid”—blocks of wood taking
the place of spokes; the springs are massive;
the tires glide smoothly over the rail; the
carriage stern let down as in road carriages,
uriel the wide plate-glass windows permit an
extensive view of the country through which
the train is passing.
