EW YORK MARKETS. Financial NEW YORK, N. Y., March 4.—A moderate in- aquiry for investment account and a litile sp-cu- lative buying imparted a firm tone to the market in the early operations at the Stock Exchange. The Improvement, huwever, was of slight propor- fons, and before the expiration of the first hour of trend of prices was downward. A wnctivity foilowed, the disposition to aley’s address befure enter- ing into new ventures being qu te general. Then there was heavy sel ug by forelgn hous don being credit d with sles of 15,000 St Paul and o her kurcpean favorites. Those liquidstions are said to be the resuit of uneasiness feit abroad over the rustern quesiion. A break in Brilish cousois also cast more or less influence upon tiuid hoiders. Shordy after midday the bears resumed aggres- sive tacti:s and uuder their sales the murxet gradually deciined.

Another un- favorable development was the passage of the meximum freight tarifl law by the North Dakota legisiature. This measure gives & commission power to fix freiehi rates and provides for a long and shor: haul clause.

Ford, lots 21 and 22, block 56, town of Nlles, Washington Township; §190. in Sekukiniland a native ran constrictor measuring about forty-seven feet, which had just swallowed a young koodoo buck, all except the horns. The horns stuck out on each side of the reptile’s mouth. The native rec- ognized the horns as those of a buck he owned, and he ran and got sticks and pinped the serpent, which was dor- mant, to the ground. Then he got bold of the horns and pulled and twisted. He got. the buck out inch by inch, until half its body showed, and then it came with a jerk and the boy fell over on his back. Before he had time to think twice the snake, relieved of his load of mutton, was upon him, and it seized bis head in its mouth, and in three minutes the native had taken the place of the buck, oniy he was all inside; there was nothing left out to pull on, even if a rescuer had come along. Having swallowed the boy the boa deliberate'y iurned its bead around And} grabbing its tail, swallowed eight feet of it, thus closing the mouth and throat, down which the native bad disappeared, and making escape absolutely impossible. The Transvaal vouches for the truth of the story. THE CALL CALENDAR. MARCH, 1897. Su. [Mo.|Tu.|W. |Th.| Fr.|Sa.| Moon's Phases.| 2|3|4|6|6|gm NewMoon & March 3.
