He of course has made al arrangements to enter a more lucrative business, and the management is given due ne- tice that it must struggle aiong with- next season unless it can see clear to making it worth his while to string along with them. It is just the strike fever that overtakes these prima donnas of the ball field every year about this time. And, while they stick to their determination throughout the long winter moaths, these birds are usually found in the'r positions for the first game in the spring. Nothing strange about this attitude of the bail pleyer. And yet there is jan insistance—a remarkable one, to be sure—where a player absolutely refi because he felt he wasn't valued received. The principal actor in this unusua diamond drama was George (‘“Candy”) | La Chance, the biz first baseman of the champion Red Sox of more than a d ago. When h'g George first from the stick: show he was a “bloome: hard time proving his worth. tried the good natured and v iin the head so often with m’'sudgeq fic balls th the manager fearing a edy, vanked him in to p'ay the infield. The Frenchman could returning earnest the ball notwithstanding the mess he | made of the fielding end of the pas- t'me, and this alone appealed to the bosses. George was next propped up at first base, where he continued his work of mussing everything that came his way. He was one of the gamest fellows that away to a poor start, and the more he FINANCIAL AN MARKET WAS IRREGULAR. New York, Dec. 17.—0f the several developments which contfibuted to the irregular strength of today's stock market, the most noteworthy and im- portant in its potential value was the m ment of British exchange. s on London continued to rally to the point where they cancelled the greater part of the recent severe de- cine, thereby strengthening the im- pression in many aquarters that steps are really being taken to negotiate larze international credits. The review of steel and iron indus- trial conditions were favorable, in- cluding higher price schedules for fabricated products. These were sup- plemented by advances in quotations for fuel oil and virtual consummation of large contracts, foreign and do- mestic, for railway equipment. Call loans were in freer supply at 7 per cent. than at any recent period, interior banks offering round amounts at that rate and later at six ner cent. Time money ruled firm, however, eag- er bids of 8 per cent. for two and threc moriths eliciting little response. In its surface aspects the sto~' market covered the ground of the pro vious session. Bull pools added to th- discomfiture of the shorts in oilc motors, steels and equipments, which gross gains of two to slightly over ten points were made. Shippings, tobaccos, textiles, coppers and leathers helped to sustain the ad- issues. in- §r vance with miscellaneous cluding chemical shares. at extreme zains of one to five points. The one division to hold back was the rails, which moved within a very narrow radius, hardening slightly at the firm eolose. Sales amounted to 1,000,000 P Moderate tmprovement in the year- end investment sation was reported by banks and bond dealers. The open market on the exchanee failed to re- flect this condition, aside from a slight rally in Liberty bonds and several of the international issues. Total sales. par value, aggregated $28,750000.

The estate of Dalswinton, Dumiries- shire, Scotiand, once heid by *“The Red Comyn,” a competitor of Bruce for tne thone of Scotiand is soon to come into the market. Around this estate also cluster historic memories of a poet, a painter, a famous English jur- ist, and last, but not least, an inventor of the first steamboat in Scotlana. Patrick Miller, yho invented the first steamboat that sailed any water in Scotland, once owned Dalswinton. To the north of the mansion is an or- namental lake, and here it was in 1788 that Miller constructed a double-hull boat twenty-five feet long and seven feet broad, and an engine was fitted to it by William Symington. a native ills Lanarkshire. at succeeded so well that its fame went far and wide over Scotland. Robert Burns, immortal poet, owned the neighboring property to Dalswin- ton, ‘and he and Nasmith, the painter, and Henry Brpugham, who subse- quently became lord chancellor of Eng- land, were a jolly party that sailed this lake together as passengers on Miller and Symington’s boat. In 1789 Miller built a larser boat which Symington fitted out with steam engines, and the vessel was propelled at a speed of six miles an hour on the Forth and Clyde Canal. The boat and the engine were so ill proportioned to each other that the wheels were con- tinually breaking, and the vessel was laid aside. Symington’s stern-wheeler. named Charlotte Dundas built at Grange- mouth in 1301, made an experimental trip to Glasgow, and was in.ended for towing sioops on the korth and Clyde Caal, but was withdrawn owing to tue damage caused to the banks by the wash of the paddi It was on this boat that Robert Ful- ton; the American engineer and painter, who had gone to kngland to study painting ufdder the famous historical painter, Benjamin West, also an Amer- ican, made a trip and Dbecame ac- quainted with Symington.

Livingston, of New York, who was rich and who was théh United States minister to France and who had also | been experimenting with models for steamboatis s on had experiment a paddle-wheel boat in France. Livingston had been associated with John Stevens, another rich man, and Nicholas J. Roosevelt in'these experi- ments. Livingston, who had an eye to business, had already acquired ‘the exclusive rights for of the rivers of the sta from the state legislature: He backed Fulton, who now became a partner in the navigation franchise with Livingston, and before leaving for America Fulton, in 1806, had parts of a steam enzine built to his order by the firm of Boulton & Watt, of Birm- ingham .
