STOCK SALES LIGHI HI MNESS FOR DAY SMALLER THA> IN MONTHS. liquidation moderated bit ALL EFFORTS TO FORCE PRICES UPWARD CHECKED. Amalgamated Copper Still Controls the Course of Market—Coalers Conspicuous Feature at Opening of Market—New Subway Talk Hurt Metropolitan Tractions and Inter borough Rapid Transit. New York, Dec. 15.—The subsidence of speculative activity in stocks was very marked to-day, the total sales for the day making a smaller total than for several months. It was evident that the urgency of liquidation was greatly moderated and practically completed, but attempts to force prices upwards met with con tinual checks. The absence of any selling pressure left the price level constantly above last night and af forded encouragement to persistent re newals of the advance. The course of Amalgamated Copper was still of dominant influence and reactions in the course of its advance brought quick response at other points in the list. The coalers were con spicuous features in the opening ad vance, particularly Reading, the favor shown that group being due to flatter ing reports of conditions in the coal industry. Coalers Improved. The belief that the new control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton system was destined for the benefit of Erie helped that stock as well as the HEW YORK STOCK AND BOND UST Railroad Stocks.

The Metropolitan Traction group w*as affected by the announced attention to enter on subway projects in New York city and the simultaneous depression of Interborough Rapid Transit on the curb was attributed to the same cause. The United States Steel stocks, es pecially the preferred, were steadily accumulated. Trade reports were of very large orders for various lines of finished products, including steel rails.

Proprietors, HOW DID THEY GET THKHEf Carious Things Found Far From Home. From London Answers. One of the officers on Col. Young husband’s staff writes to a friend that they are frequently finding objects which are strangely out of place. A few months ago, when they were at Khambalong, this officer picked up a pair of gloves bearing the name of a well known London maker; while, in the Tang pass a private picked up a small, well thumbed English dic tionary, with a carte-de-vislte of a young Englishman pasted on the fly leaf. Quite a curious chapter might be written on those two finds were it .possible to discover the owners of the lost property. They Indorse, at any rate, other out-of-the-way finds. A relative of a friend of the writer was at the battle of Khartoum, when Lord Kitchener finally broke the pow er of the Mahdi and rendered futile the hostility of the dervishes against the British advance. Upon, one of the dead dervishes wsis found’a Single eye glass of undoubted Mayfair cut. How did the dervish come by It? Sir Henry M“. Stanley, the great ex plorer, had in his library at Richmond Terrace, Whitehall, many curious finds which he came across in his wander ings across the dark continent of Africa. One is a silverplated fork bearing the name of a fashionable London restaurant. This fqrk was found in a part of Africa which had before been trodden by the foot of a white man till Stantey had brok en the record and arrived there with (his little band. A pygmy, whose tribe was unknown till then, was wear ing the fork around his neck as an ornament. Emm Pacha in his memories relates Blood Poison Diseases Cured When a person realizes that he has blood poison he should also realise that he is now in the clutches of the most dangerous of all private diseases —the one disease where results are most liable to be serious unless treat ment by an experienced specialist is obtained.

M, General Offices, Baltimore, Md. that one of the greatest glories of an Abyssinian chief he knew was a George 111 wig, which adorned the chief’B head on very special occasions. How he came by It was a mystery even to Emin Pacha himself. This headpiece bore the name of a London maker. A sergeant In the Manchesters, who was present at the fall of the native fort at Chltral when our troops cap tured It, picked up a money lender's circular of comparatively recent date. How it found its way to that distant region of India will ever remain a mystery. A most interesting volume might be written on these little mysteries so strangely out of place. In one case only was the mystery of an object out of place cleared up. Older An swerltes will remember the Zulu war, and how In Its course the Prince Im perial was killed. The body was stripped. The royal mother—the ex-Empress Eugenie, who Is still living—after the first pang of her great sorrow was over inquired of her late son's broth er officers If the Zulus had taken a keepsake which the prince was wear ing around his neck at the time of his death. This keepsake was a relig ious emblem known as Agnus Del. It had been taken. Soon afterward a great British vic tory was won, and some hundreds of the dusky warriors were taken prison ers. Quite by accident a British of ficer discovered, suspended around the neck of a Zulu, the missing emblem. It was taken from the men and sent at once to the childless Empress, In whose possession it now rests, and forms her greatest treasure. Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Cos.
