the price. There were sales of these rights
nt from 4'j , to 6'j , . Union Paclllo and Northern -
ern Pacific showed same Ptrength and then
was an attempt to advance onio ot the Iron
nnd Bteel stocks , which proved only partly
'
successful. Some of the specialties'puffereil
from bear pressure , notably Sugar , Brook
lyn Transit and the other New fork trao-
lion stocks and the tobacco stocks.
( ondltlon ? In the money market were re
sponsible for the dullness In the stock mar
ket. The advance In the Hank of England
rate from 5 Io 6 per cent was not unex
pected , but was a conllrmallon of n disa
greeable anticipation from the stock mar
ket point of view. It Is necepled ac nnllll-
eallon of the Hank of England's policy tr
hold control of the open money market with
the purpose of keeping up rates , so us to
attract funds to txmdon for the future
needs of that market. Including the coming
annual settlements nml the requirements
of the government for the South African
war expenditures' .
Sterling exchange both here and In Purls
hardened In response to the conditions In
London , where , however , the money rate
reacted slightly from yesterday's level. The
rate for money In New York did not rlsn
above 6 per cent. Preliminary estimate- )
make It evident that tomorrow's bank rtate-
ment will relied a still further Improvement
In the condition of the bank ? , but the gain
In cash resources will conje wholly from
KUbtroasury operations , on which account
thp banks have gained J2.9TO.OOO. Including
bond redemptions nnd receipts on account
of gold deposited at Interior points.
On the Interior money movement by ex
press , on the other hand , the banks have
suslnlned n net loss of over $200.000. Re
ceipts from the Interior have fallen off over
$300.000 , while the fihlpments to the Interior
have Increased nearly $250.000. The net gain
nn last week's movement had aroused hopes
thaf the long expected reflux ot funds to
this center hud ut last set In , but this
Wtek's figures show that the interior de
mand Is still unsatisfied.
The bond market was quiet and prices
were shaded In the majority of Issues. Total
Mies , par value , $1,340.0(0. United States
bonds were unchanged In the bid prices.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : "The markets
here were slightly busier today than they
have been recently , but the tone was Ir
regular. Toward the end It became harder
an an nncontirinod rumor that Klmberle.v
had been relieved. Consols * moved up ' ,4.
( Vmerlc-ans opened hard , then waited for
New York. The close was at about the
opening level except In Erie llrst preferred
ind Chesapeake & Ohio , which were strong.
1'ho French still bought Spanish 4s , Call
noney was In good demand and hills freely
lealt In. The bank lent small amounts at
i per cent , but did no discounting at that
ate. The copper fortnightly statistics show
supplies 239 tons. "

CATTLE Only a fe.w cattle were reported
In the yards this morning and 'none that
were very extra. The. market was In good
shape , the desirable beef cattle selling n
llttlft stronger. During the last few days
benf steers have been gradually strength-
piling and the market Is now fully 25c higher
than last week. At present prices the de
mand is necessarily limited nnd anything
like a bie run would have , a tendency to
depress .the market.
Cows and heifers were In good demapd nt'
tlrm prices and the limited offerings
changed 'hands ' , early In the morning. The
cow market has been gaining in strength
during the last few days and the market
on that kind of cattle is now 15fi20c higher
than last week. Common and Inferior kinds
have not shown as much advance as the
more desirable kinds.
Stockers ) and feeders were very quiet to
day , owing to the fact that it was so near
Wie end of the week and values were weak.
Speculators were not expecting very much
country demand for the balance of the
week and hence were not very eager buy
ers. Representatlva sales :

A high treitlo bridge more than a quarter
of a mlle long , supporting the single track
of the Nickel Plato railroad , spans the
valley of Clrand river , cast of Palnwllle.
O. 'Jim bridge Is a little wider limn the.
dlstarco between thf rails , reports the
Cleveland Leader , and the ties arc placed
eight or ten Inches apart , the "meo be
tween being open to the river below.
A young man who crossed recently had a
thrilling experience on the. bridge. Ho had
Jtmt passed the center when a fast train
rounded the curve boh'nd him. As the en"
glno whistled ho quickened ) iU pace. With
every step the train watt riiPhlng nearer
and there was not n m.imont to lose.
Onct the young man stumbled and termed
about to fall , but quickly regained his
balance and liurr cd on. As he reached
the place for which he hud started the
train was close behind ami IKhad' just
I 'pie to swing hlmpolf over the Hide of the
bridge as the locomotive thundered by
The ends of the ties were sllpnery wltli
srease ( roni dripping axle-boxes , and hln
fet Dipped wide an ho left the trade.
Ills right hand , stretched blindly on' before
him touched a round iron bur bracing two
P'TlH ' of the bridge , and with a grin like
I hut of a drowning man hU fingers clasped
urouna It. Ior a inotnent ho swung In
empty space In another his left hsnd ,
had found n place bw de hid right and
his ffpt townee ! the welcome- edge of a
brncp below. With bleeding llngcrfl dutch-
Ing the slender Iron Imr that vibrated .
widely from side to side , moments secmcrt
houi .
At last the train passed and the young
man was able to climb t-lowly to the track
above. Unnerved by the trying experience ,
he lay tar n moment stretched itcross the
rails , nnd thru rising to hs ; feet , with
danelifd face and unsteady limbs , made
his way to llrm ground.

AII Incident ' of lllx I'nrUclpntlon In
lnillr.il PlulHn In TCMIS.
It has often been noticed that whenever
Oencrnl Kllzhugh Lo'r visits the White
House he stops to have a chat with Captain
Loelllor , who stands guard at the presi
dent's private ollloe nnd the cabinet room.
This Is generally nttrlbul'-.l to Lee's pleas
ant way of treating everyone , but It has
another origin.
* Before the civil war , relates the Boston
Trni'scrlpl. Lee was a lleutir.nnt In the old
Sec-olid cavalry , afterward reorganised as
the Flfili. Loelller was a troopqr In this
reclment and later non-commissioned
olllcor. His company was oiii of the two
which were engaged In a sharp light with
the Klowa and Co'mnnche ' Indians ! n the
cimmnron potinlry ! n Texas In IK9. The
Irdlans had taken refime In a narrow ealion
which could not bo otitoml only from ono
end an.l there hail thrown up a formication
of logs , from behind which they poured
n he' , lire Into the troops. The character
of the canon was suoh that the horTB of
the cavalry were nseloys and they were
left outside- , the nun advancing on foot.
Only a few of the Indians had tlrearmp.
the rest using bow and nrrows. llnd the
Indians been n well armed as they have
b on In latpr wars the loss of the whltei
would have been very large ; as It was only
four or live soldlcis were killed , though the
Indian loss amounted to nearlllfty. ; .
A charge WHS made upon Hie log fort and
Lei' , wOio was a d ishliis olllccr and a
wonderful favorite with his men , was the
llrst ono to svale the breastwork. The
arrow * -.vcro whlzzln ? all about him and
OINV struck him In the lireasit. Inlllctlns a
very ugly wound. As be f ( II the confusion
was so great about him that the arrow was
pulled out of his flesh and thrown to the
ground imong other arrows , whole nnd
broken , so that no one could tell afterward
whether the head had mnalncd In th
wound or boon drawn out with the stick.
It was imiiosflblc , therefore , to say how
serlou-Ov 1-e Jin it been hurt and he was
carried at onci to the re r , where n litter
was improvised of saplings-- and boughs. Hn
was iald 11:1011 : this , which was swung be
tween two horses , and thus bo was carried
back to the wngon train , a distance of moro
than 150 mllcf tliroujili a roucli country.
Probing Kiowod that the head of the arrow-
bad rortunntrJy been drawn out and In
due time good nursing put the lieutenant
on hs feet again.
This In an incident In Leo's career which
Is apparently kn. > wn to very few. It Is of
Interest , also , that thi old Second cavalry
had for Its colonel Albert Sidney Johmiton '
and for Itr lieutenant colonel Robert E. Leo
and that llni-doo of "tactics" fame and
Oeorge. H. Thomas worn ( wo of Ita majors.
