The gen eral opinion was that a favorable result would be obtained, and the market exhibited con siderable strength un il it was known that the meeting had a ijourned without doiug anything of importance, when dullness again marked 1 dealings. To-day coal stocks ana Industrials I were features of the market. Tae continuance THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1891. of the present cold weather, and the impres sion that it will continue throughout the season, has brought ia more confident buying, and to day Lackawanna r s- nearly 4 per cent., others following. Sugar Refineries was prominent all day long, and strong especia iy in the forenoon, thougn there was no news of a kind to favor ably affect the stock beyond the postponement of the Cameron suit. The day began with all conditions favorable, the reduction of its rate of discount from 5 to 4 per cent, by the Bank of England being one of the most influential. Opening prices were, therefore, fractionally higher, and with coal stocks in the lead, further advances were made ail along the line in the forenoon. Fluctuations outside of the stocks before mentioned, however, were sllghr, and, while a firm tone prevailed, there was little vim in the market, a waiting dispoaitioa becoming most mat ked after the announcement of the action of toe presidents, when, except in a few shares, dullness became the ruling feature, and continued so until the close. The trading ele ment was inclined to take advantage of this apathy and hammer stock, their operations re sulting in the partial loss of early gains. There were strong spots here and there in the list, however, and no material impression was made upon prices. The maruet finally closed quiet and firm, generally at somet ring better than opening figures. Tie -ales of listed stocks to day aggregated 215,000 shares and- unlisted 31.000 g fares.

Seven Thirsty Elephants and How They Quenched ihelr Thirst. From the January St. Nicholas. One day a circus and me .agerie train baited at a railway station on its way through a town. Of course there was great curiosity aruoug the railroad men to in spect this queer special train; and among others the engineer and the fireman of one of the locomotives in the yard left their posts for a short time to see the different menagerie cars. When they came back and were read)’ to move their locomotive they noticed that the cover of the water-tank was open. Further, they luckily discovered that the tan - was nearly empty, although it had been full to the brim when the r left it. Such an extraordinary thing had never happened before 1 No wonder there was great surprise on all sides; every one know the tan., was full wbeu the men had left it; in fact some of the "bands” had seen it dlled, neither wa • there a leak in It, and yet the tank was empty. The question was, where had the water gone! Se ven thirsty elephants, shut up all day aud all i uht in a o r that gave tueut hardly room to move; their warm bodies fairly touching ouo a o: her, a paltry al lows oe of water to quench their 1 hirst, and then, to be left standing on the hot railroad rack, the sun’s rays pouring down upon the roof of t e car, and wit only such air as o aid come through the small open wi ilows! Was it any wonder, wuen their keen scent told them water was near, t hat they should earou tor it? How we~e they to know that it was not there for their con venience. At any rate, no sooner were the men gone, when through a small window of the elephant car the dusky trunk of an elepnant made its way sinuously out. Another followed is example, then an other, until seven trunas hail felt aud snuffed around, over engine, ten ler and coaL \VLat they sought was uot there; but they still kept moviug about, and, c niing to the water-tank, one of them stopprd, felt all over the cover, a id at lost managed to get the Unger-like end under th • edge of the cover. Then slowly and carefully it wusopeued; when, behold! there was what t e elephants wauten-water, and plen y of it. The owner of thUt particular trunk took a long draught, iti compan ions mea while shoving and tissuing one another, iu tlioir anxiety to drink. One after another they lilted tlfftfP flunks with the cool w ater aud poured l do wn their dry, parched throats. How grateful? H w re freshing! After the long, dusty* tide, with what keen enjoyment liter squirt and the water over their tire i, hot bodies until they were cool and comfortable. The mystery of the empty tank was a mystery but u short time. The keeper of the elephants on visiting the car, had found it ami tho elephants vDiugod with water. A few inquiries and the matter was ex plained to everyone’s satisfaction. -a,, . I; .a nd• Tho Amo*;can Oli<fe. From Harper'i'jfof .fahwtrSj. The growth of the olive is to be, It seems to me, one of the leading and most perma nent industries of southern California. It will give us, what it is nearly impossible to buy uow, pure olive oil, in place of the ootton seed and lard mixture in general use. It is a most wholesome and nnlata le article of food. Those whose chief experi ence of the olive is the large, coarse, and not agreeable Spanish variety, used ouly as an appetizer, know little of the value of tho best varieties as food, nutritious as meat, and always delici us. Good bread and a dish of picked olives make an excellent meal. The sort known as the missio i olive, planted by the Franciscans u century ago, Is generally grown now, aud the best fruit is from the older treos. The most successful attempts in cultivating the olive and putting it on the market have been made b/ Mr. K. A- Kimball of National City and Mr. Ell wood Cooper of Santa Barbara. Tho experi tie it* have gone far en ugh to show that the in dustry is very remunerative. The best olive oil I have ever tasted any writers is that prodtiood from the Cooper and Ki.nhall orchards; but not enough is produced to supply the local demand. Mr. Cos ipor has written a careful treatise ou olive culture, which will be of great service to all growers. The art of pickling is not yet mastered, and perhaps some other variety will bo preferred to the Old Mission for tho table. A mature olive grove iu good bearing is a fortune. I feel sure that within twenty-live years this will be one of tho most profitable industries of California, and that the domain! for puro oil and edible fruit in tho United {States will drive out the adulterated and inferior present commercial products. But Cali fornia can easily ruin its reputation by adopting the European systems of adultera tion. Sympathy Born of Borrow. Will Cunningham, clerk at the Palmar house, says tho Chicago Tribune, witnessed an affecting yet Joyful moating between two old soldiers in front of his desk yester day. Alaj. J. If. McMullen of Louisville, Ky., nnd Capt. Henry L. Itockfleld of Dayt in, C., wore both at the battle of Shenandoah. The Kentuckian was on one side and the Ohio man was on tho other. Both soldiers were wounded during tho struggle, and they chanced to be placed sido by side in a temporary hospital, whore both union men and confederates were cared for. The men became fust fi lends during the confinement to their beds, and when lying on thdrrudo c >ti one jokingly ac cused tho other of being tho man who fired the bullet that made him useless for active service. The two officers regained their strength after a few weeks’ stay in the bos lital, and, as McMullen was exchanged, both were again soon in the ranks. When the two personal triads, thoug i enemies on the battlefield, parted they expr ssed a wih that they would never meet on the field again, but promised, if they did, to either fire their revolvers luto the air or not shoot at all. Yesterday tvas the first time those two ba tie-scared veterans met sines the battle of Bho audoah, and Cunningham describes the mi etitig: "McMullen has been hero for a day or two, and when standing at t e desk waiting for one of the boys to look for his ra lil Itock fleld stepped up to place his name on the registi r. The men iis inctivoly looked at each other. Although it had been about thirty years since they had seen each other, the recognition was mutual. “ ‘McMullen, my boy, is that you?’ said Rockfleld. “ ’Great heavens, this isn’t Rockfleld, is it?’ interrogated the southerner. "And the ex-conf derate and the ex union officer took each otbor by the hand, and they were unable to speak for some time. I would not want to say there were tears in their evei, but there was asuspicion of something of that kind, and their voices were certainly h.i-lry when they di l speak. But maybe those gray-haired men were not pleased to see each oth *r 1 They told me their story, and both still lame, f om their wounds, limped out arm du a inn like two broi hers. •* ‘The only diffe"hco ’be’vfeen us now,’ remarked Rockfleld to hi* old ‘acquaintance as t icy left me, ‘is that i draw a pension and you don’..’” l ■ ‘ ■ t jjii COTTON TIES.
