Farmer Wood son had a queer adventure with a fox a few days ago. He had been on the hills nbove the Cascade hunt ing a fox which had given him a live ly chase. Itunntng down a steep hill the fox sudden'y dashed off toward the river. The dogs followed, but lost tho scent at theator'.i edge. The fox Jumped into a boat, which was lying loosely at the shore, anil the force of the jump sent the craft Into the strenm. When Voodson came tin he discovered the boat near the middle of the river, floating down with the current. In the boat, standing on the seat In the stern, was the fox, gazing back at his baflled pursuers with eru dite satisfaction. Wood.son discovered another boat on the shore, and quick ly pushing It off. paddled after the boat that was carrying the fox away. The fox's boat was gradually being carried by the current nearer the opposite .shore, and by the time Woodson was half way from his starting point to tho fox's boat, the latter w.w within a rod or two of the Lanesboro side of the river. This seemed to be as much as the fox cared to nsk of his boat, and he jumped overboard and swam nshore. By the time Woodson reached the shore the defiant and elated fox was a mile away.

CONNELL THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New Yoik, Dee. 2d. The New York stock market testified Us relief over the practical completion of the year ly settlemint by bidding up prices In a striking manner today. There were signs of hesitation and reactii.n at one time when tile monjy rate Hurried in 10 per cent simultaneously w Ii.lt the appearance of the statement of No vemb"r earnings of the Chl::so, Bur lington and Qlllpev railroad. Tills ftatement showed a def-ase In the surplus earnings after charges f.ir the month of over $215,000; and coming on top or yesterday'.' similar exhibit by the Chicago, Milwaukee nnd St. Paul, made a natural Impression on senti ment ns going1 to hhow the Inevitable effect of the high prices of material upon tho operating -jxponsea of rail roads. The grangers were most affect ed but prices In the railroad list gen erally ran down to about last nlght'n level. The completion of tne period of money pressure. however, over shadowed all other lonaiiWallnns und gave rise to a feeling on the part of security holders closely akin to exul tutlon. About the time tho London stock exchange closed the most not able movement of the day was Inau gurated. The fact that tha periodical stock exchange settlement wns com pleted with no failure of great Import ance was a gratifying surprise la tho financial world. The International stocks In the late bujlug weto the fa vorites in anticipation of a demand to morrow from Loadcp. Although tho call money rate advanced sharply In London, discount rates dropped off fully Vi per cent, with a refilling ad vance In the London sterling rate in New York. The private discount rate In Berlin also showed a further de cline, so that the foreign market in wheh a crisis had been feared all showed clear skies. In our own market loans made today will carry over until next Tuesday. It was this fact which ran the rate up to IS per cent. A favorable bank state ment. Is counted on for tomorrow, in spite of th- fact that nom fl.OO,000 of gold exports will figure In tho stato mnt. On the regular express move ment of money to the Interior the prin cipal banks have gained upwards of $2,100,000 and on sub-treasury opera tions they have gained $1,1XS,000. Be sides this thee hnve been very largo receipts of monev by mail, estimated all tho way from Il.000.u00 to J7.000.000, so that the net cnln In cash from all sources Is estimated at from $2,000,000 upwards. In the Into strength of the market the trunk lines were very con spicuous, led by the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and "Western stocks. A rumor was circulated to tli" effect that tho plan for hnnnonlzlng trunk line Inteiests was soon to be announced nnd that it would include Norfolk and Western ns well ns Baltimore and Ohio. Gains in the apeclaltles wero larger than In the railroads except that sugar and Metropolitan Street railway were more or less under pres sure. The New Yoik city gas compan ies, the coalers, general electric, Paci fic mall and the steel nnd Iron stocks show some striking gains and many of the rail raids are a point or moro higher.
