Fluctuating within narrow limits
Better weather at the south,
liberal receipts at the ports, and
a dull, weak market at Liver
pool, were counterbalanced by
a large export movement, which
prevented any marked accumu
lation of stocks in this country,
such as is usually seen ai this
stage of the season.
On Wednesday Liverpool
reversed the course which it had
taken for several days, and
made a stronger report, etusing
here pretty brisk buying to cov
er contracts, and an advance o(
six to seven points lrom the
inside prices early in the week.
The higher range of values led
fo some pretty free selling for
the “bear” account, hut thede
maud was sufficient to cause a
steady closing. The buying shit
ted from ‘the early months,
December leading, early in the
day to the spring months, with
March leading, iaie in the day.
Friday the opening was eas
ier in response to a dull Liver
pool movement, but an improve
inent of a few points followed,
there being a moderate demand
which was not well met t !1 near
close at about the best figures
of the lay.
Colton on the spot met with
a fair spinning demand, and
prices were well maintained;
the close is steady at 10 1 4c.

'A well-dressed man ol about
lor :y, was trying to make bis
dog bathe in the Seine :\l Put is,
but h • animal appeared to have
little taste for mputlie cxctciv s.
When, after much Imsitmion.
it refused to enter t*'o water, he
seized it by the neck and threw
it in o the river.
l'ins dog qtti rkly swam to (lie
shore, hut as I lie bank tv.is at
that place bounded by a sleep
w ill, al' its efforts got over it
were in vain, and Ids masler, in
reaching over to help him, last
his balance and lull into the
water. Two watermen hastened
up, held out a pole to him, and
succeeded in drawing out holli
master and dog safe and sound.
No so mar on laud, instead ol
manifesting his joy at being res

marks of great despair.
On being asked the rift-on,
lie replied that when lie was
leaning over the wall to help
Ills dog up iiis purse had fallen
out of his coat pocket, and dis
appeared under the water. A
boy olfered to go in and lind it.
“Go!” said the gentleman,*
“you shall bo well ra winded.”
The boy took a header, dived
several times, ami at las', after
having aroused the anxiety ol
the bystanders hv his long dis
appearance, he showed himself,
dripping with water, holding in
triumph the lost article, which
lie brought to its owner; hut be
fore giving i t to him, lie stopped
and held out thi other hand.
r l he gentleman had v couiided
to those present that thi r purse
contained SSO francs. A mur
mur of indignation, therefore,
arose when they saw Him take
one franc from His pocket and
offer it to the lad. He misrht,
perhaps, hive accepted it, Had
not a bystander called out.*
“He oilers you a l’rtnc, I will
give you two it you will throw
it back into the water again!”
The owner of the purse darted
forward, but before lie could
seize it, the boy had thro vn the
purse back into the Seine.
“How much will you give now
to have it picked up again?” the
gentleman was asked.
“ Five francs!”
“That is not enough. Give fif
ty!”
After some disputing the bar
gain was concluded. The boy
dived/town again aud brought
back the purse amid the shouts
of laughter and cheers of all
present. The miser, much vexed
