A FATAL DANCE.
-_ f -\ ugly, ungainly, morose, ill-conditioned
ffiKs brute of a man!" Harsh words, these.
Ta » I 0 speak of any one, are they mil? But
■*_i**iss. ,1,,-y me no slander. They were said ol
myself— hy myself. 1 spoke them savagely, bil
terly, while gazing like a professional beauty—
with __ diUeieuce— at my own image ill a looking
glass. .
What right had Ito love— l, one of the most
unlovely of mortals? Winn right, least ol all, to
love the most lovely of womankind? How could
those rugged features, those bushy lowering
brows, that form, awkward anil metrical
as that ol an orang-outang, find favor lv any
woman's eyes? A handsome, well-built, self
satisfied, daintily dressed dandy soldier like
Alien CurlK with his gracetul airs and ever
ready compliments— that ls the sort of creature
whom ladies like. What chance id such as I,
witb my ugliness aud clumsiness, against such
a rival.
Yel. oh, how 1 loved lei I Mad, hopeless, as I
thought my passion tobe.it burned within me
like a furnace. Before my eyes the face and
lorn; Elinor Ayton »m evei pieseut, as dl<
ui.cily as my own ruoe features Id that hateful
looKlug-glass. She was a sue. I, ficsh. Dine Eu
glish . it, lair, soft, gracelul ill every outline, in
cvi j altitude, Willi tender, deep blue eyes,
whose very glance made my bear! leap anil ache.
My feelings found vent when 1 was alone, but
at no othei lime, In ler presence no language
ol passion, no hint of love, ever passed my lips.
I was, when with her, ihe dull, Comnioupiace
student mat she doubtless found me. She could
never guess— so I thought— the secret thai lay
hidden in mv bosom.
11 was otherwise with Allen Curtis, the man
who rivaled me and bated mo as I haled him.

II pie.ly compliments and raising the blushes to

Vet, It sic Old uot prefer my company, she
seemed to like it well enough. I had uo small
talk for bet— nothing to speak cl but my dry
ii ,-iv oka mil my lame adveiiliues in foreign
lands, and so loilh. She used to say thai my
conversation nave her pleasure, ibai 1 bad a way
ol making eveivlhing Ititere.lli i: 10 her. li was
\en kind of her tocouless it. 11 ut 1 would havo
slaked my Hie that she would rati have lis
tened at any time io Alien Curtis' chatter ibau

\Ve were both or us ou a vi. SI her father's
country-seat, and each had many opportunities
ol walking by her side in the Italian gulden
fiomlng the old 1 udoi Ilall, or in Ihe wood aud
glades of Ihe thick. v llmbeied pink. lie availed
Himself, no doubt, of his opportunities, while 1
neglected mine. Many and many a time 1 cursed
my laisi- i nde, mv diffidence, my— oh, 1 called it
many rem names, but, aliei all, it hud only one
— cowardice]
Yes, 1 was afraid— afraid to scare her from me
by auy rash bint of my passion, 11 1 could not
secure her aOectlon, at least It was clear that 1
bad her friendship— and that was something to
feed the heart of a man starving for love. Iff
lost at, 1 lost all— and I feared to lese It.
Vie hail beeu stiollmg In this way one sunny
alleruoon through the Hi plantation mat skirled
Kit Herbert Aylon's paik, and were slowly saun
tering back to the hall. 1 had been talking away
In my usually dull style, which she was pleased
io call "earnest" and .'eloquent.", about some
mini. i.c uses of a yacht voyage among the Nor.
»,.,.,:. ijoids. She listened ati en lively enough,
Ihoniili 1 leit conscious thai 1 was born. i.ci,
Olio binned in tniu the couveisatiou to some
lighter subject; but, when 1 attempted to do so,
n.y tongue seemed spell-bound. Alter a while
she startled me by saying:
"1 hope sou will no to me couuly ball?''
"The Couutv ball !" 1 echoed. "Not 1."
"Ob," she cried, "don't say ibat. 1 should be
so disappointed ii you were not there."
"Indeed! Why?"
•■lt— it will be bo pleasant, you know— such a
brilliant i.il.ur. And lam suie you would en-
Joy ll."
• ■_*. . Cayeiles ot that sort are not for me. I
am not used to them, and dislike tliem."
It was a Hide, a bniial speech, 1 know; but I
was always making such booiish blunders, As
usual, she look no notice ol my leaiisl.otss, but
Weill nu.
" Ob, Mr. Gralwlcke, do oblige me and accept
J. did Liuton's Invitation! li would look so
range II yen weie not to go! Why, you would
be ihe only one oi our In. use party abseut!"
"1 shall return to Loudon bt-lo.e I he day of the
ball. Miss ton."
" bat .' You are not going to leave us so
soon '? 1 bat would be unkind."
•' 1 ut," 1 pleaded, *' 1 shall be wholly out of
ii-, element there. For one thing, 1 have not
oai.eeu lor yeais, aud have quite luigoiteu the
ait."
"You need not dance," she said. "You can
look un, o: talk wilb people. lam sure you will
be am I.''
Look ou— wLlle she was being whisked round
tie room in He anus of other men- In his arms,
nu dm. i.i 1 Yes, I should be much amused!
Hut 1 could not lesist ber persuasion; ere we
reached the ball steps sbe had couqueitd, and I
bad promised, alas, lo go to the country bah!
I -i.l pose il was a "bilihaut atlair," as such
things ate aecouuied. To me it was Inexpressi
bly dull and tiresome. Theie was a gieat deal
ol glaie and noise aud Peat, a vast amount ol
Chatter ami artificial genially; Ibe loom was
thronged wilb youug and pieiiy women, and
women who were neither young nor pretty, and
theie were plenty of tilled people and squires,
military men and gentlemen farmers— all the
usual cloud, m shoit, that oue meets al a couu
try ball.
l myself fell veiy much as 1 expected lo feel,
like a lish out of water. For one thing my dress
eioihes sal awkwardly upon me— l was at all
limes uncomfortable In them— l had au uueasy
sense 11.111 1 looked like a lilted waiter as I stood
clumsily resting the weight if my body on one
leg and paiuiuily at a loss what to do wlih my
hands.
'Ibeie was only one tiling that reconciled me
to this uncongenial assembly, and unit was the
prospect of seeing the woman 1 worshiped with
all my soul. 1 bad ensconced myself in an ob
scure comer of the great hall, well out of reach
of the buzzing crowd, whence 1 could observe
all ih.it passed without being noticed. Villi a
mange Inconsistency 1 looted to Caleb liliuor
Aylon's eye, and yel shrank Irom it. 1 was eager
lo exchange glances with her, yel Icaitd lest she
should single me out lor auy special attention
aim make me conspicuous, and, therefore, ridi
culous.
1 ought to have been satisfied wiih what actu
ally occur led. As she passed, leaning on ■ lie
aim of her father, ncr slight, gracelul figure
loiuiiug such a pleasant contrast to his tail,
manly, semi-military foi in. she caught sight of
me tv my coiner, aud gave me a sweet smile and
lauuliur nod of it-ci'giil'ion, and 1 loliowed ber
with buugiy eyes till she was lost in tbe crowd.
When next 1 saw her she was in the aims of a
young banting squire, waltzing. in., how l
envied ibe nian who clasped her wnl-t! I should
nol have dined to ask for such a privilege. 1 was
no Critic ol dancing, au art 1 had never cultivated
and always despised; but I could not fail to per
ceive mat she was a peiieci dancer— easy, light
and graceful In eveiy movement and step aud
swing, as the conventional phrase goes, seeming
baldly topless the giouud with ber tiny feel.
Naturally she was greatly in lequest. She was.
Indeed, the belle of the ball aud partuer after
partner came to solicit her band.
All this made me feel very hitler and jealous,
In spile oi every effort on my part to repress
such unreasonable sentiments. I was not jeal
ous of Hie men themselves. To her Ihey were
mere acquaintance., perhaps pleasing as part
ners, bur that was all. It was a dog-ln-iiie-
Dian^er son of feeling that made me envy tbem
the enjoy mem which 1 could not share.
Hitherto, my rival. Alleu Curtis, bad not, so
far a- 1 had observed, approached tier; but pres
ently 1 burned with indignation to see him go up
to her 111 one of the intervals, aud, with tils hale
fully insinuating smile and bow, ask her for a
dance. She leplied w-ttti au arch glance, and
said some lilns winch 1 could not hear, but
which evidently disappointed him. She must
have refused him, and the thought that she had
dune so filled me wuli exudation. Yet the next
uioineut 1 reflected thai, alter all, the might
' have excused herself only for some particular
dance, and would gratlly him later on.
Meanwhile, escorted by her partner, she was
moving low-aid the spot where 1 stood. 1 thought
•be would pass me as she had done many a time
belore, but no— to my mingled delight and alarm,
she made straight for my lair, as 1 may call it,
■ nd. Withdrawing her baud from Inr paituer'a
arm, made him a pretty half bow aud dismissed
him. 1 lien -he came up to me aud said:
" I am so pleased you aie here, Mr. Oratwlcke!
Ills very good of you lo keep your promise. I
hope you aie being amused; but you look so
lonely in this corner!*"
"1 am as i ■• notable as I can be here, Miss
Ayton," I answered. " 1 told you I should leel
out ol my element in a place like this— and the
plain ti 1111 lis thai 1 do. 1 '
" Then I should be sorry lhat I Induced you to
com-," she said; "but there— you i eaily must
enjoy youi sell like other people, ami uol look so
dull and giumpy! tome uow-l am coiniiii.iing
a 1.. -ruble breach of enqueue In asking you, but
1 waut yuu to dance with rue!"
Dance with hei < It she had asked me lo open
tlie window near which we were standing and
leap dowu m.o Hie grounds below, the proposal
would have given me pleasure compared with
the ten tlile request she had Just made.
" But 1 cannot dauce," 1 replied.
" timely you caul mean that I" she said.
" Wave you uever learned?"
"Yes, In my youth; but I have long since
glveu up such lollies, as 1 tegard tbem?"
"Well, 1 am sine you will pick up the step
again, It Is quite easy, and I will help you
through. On, (iou'l be annul! You may not be
as ' swan-like' as some of these men, but I am
sute yon will do belter than others. Why, look
at that clumsy fellow, Major Slubbs, prancing
round there with Miss Helton 1 See bow he
bougies and bounces about— aud yet bis face
steins radiant with pleasure."
"He Is evidently making a 100 lof himself," I
let'.ied, "and you want me to do the same."
"Up, il you talk like that," said hlinor, with a
pieuy pout, "l must give you up! But no— l
wont do thai. You must not disappoint me.
Why, 1 letused ibis dance just now— said 1 was
engaged— vety wicked, wasn't lt?-ou purpose to
get you."

Bbc to. my arm and 1 led ber-i", bauS Tab*, Id
say she led roe— to the lilTige ol ihe circle of
w-llz- is, and there we stood lor a moment wail
ing to sli Ike lv. ibe prospect of holding her In
in j aims, lo my breast, sent a thrill of lov
tbiough my veins, and even caused me to lorgei
Ibe peril 1 was risking— l who had uol danced
lor many a year, and never well at . ny lime.
Hut hen I had ouce got my aim arouud her
waist and was preparing 10 lake the hist step,
uuceiiiiiii whether 1 ought to put forward the
right loot 01 the left, I coi, less 1 fell veiy much
as 1 imagine a passenger dees In a sinking ship
when lie. is about 10 cast himself Into the waves
In the hone of saving his life.
Alter one or two false starts we were off, and
for a little while 1 certainly did manage to get
round v.rli my pailuer somehow 1.11....111 dis
' aster— indeed, I succeeded so much beUer than
I had expected thai Miss Ayton looked up luio
mv face wilb a gentle smile and said: ■■_■-•
'"Tiieie, ycu see— you are not doing so badly,
atier all." «■ I *Wi'TO«BgBWi«-. .laflnwi
. lt was a pity sbe spoke, as ber encouragement
made me more confident and less careful, for Hie
next moment we found ourselves In heavy col
lision wlih anoiher couple.
"Never mind!" she exclaimed. "It couldn't
be helped— the mom is so crowded, you know!"
I went Itiichlng on with my sweet paitnei In
mv aims— hall happy, half miserable; I felt lhat
I was making my-ell ridiculous, and that 1 must
be attracting attention and remark. Nor was I
mistaken. As we wlililed round the room, I
mine than once heard a tiller, and, Indeed, some
thing louder, proceeding from the gioups of
spectators; bin the worst humiliation of all came
when, passing the spot wbeie Allen Curtis stood
Piling his lip and looking very savage, I saw him
luiu to a laughing companion and beard hlin say:
" Yes. quite so— Beamy and the BeaslI"
There could be 110 doubt that the Insulting
comparison was Intended for me, and 1 felt as
though 1 could have lei: my fair pai titer's side
and felled the Insolent puppy to the ground. As
It was I nerved myself 10 fiesh ■ xeilions, as
though dcteimlmd lo get through the dance by
sheer foi ceol will.
Hut a worse disaster was In stole for mc. At
thai nine It was the fashion for ladies to wear
ralliet long diesses and loop mem up ove." tbelr
aims when they danced. Elinor's was made ol
some light, gauzy material, aud lv the excite
ment of the waltz she must have let some por
tion of It trail on the gir.uiid. Whether it was
my fault or hers 1 1, now nut, hut just as we were
once mine passing my sneering rival 1 trod
heavily ou the bolder of my pailuei's lube,
which was Install Ily hair loin fiom her waist.
We slopped at once, 1 full of shame and rage
at the misiiiiiiiue I had caused, and thai 100 un
der the very eyes of him whom 1 hated. Miss
Aylon was at once surrounded by a crowd of
sympathizers, anioug whom Alleu Cuius was llie
most prominent.
"Allow me, Miss Avion." he said, and, almost
as though by magic, the dandy produced a small
pin cushion, lion) which he extracted two or
three pins, adding: "1 am always prepared for
such accidents."
" Thank you very much," said Elinor, as, with
the help of some female Ii lends, she repaired the
rent garment as well as she could.
Meanwhile 1 stood sheepishly by, with many a
repioachliil eve upon me. 1 believe 1 bad stam
tneied out some apology, but I did not know
what was the light thing 10 say 01 do lv the cir
cumstances.
As soon as Miss Ay ton bad had the damage
temporarily repaired, she turned to me. and, ob
serving my rueful and lemorselul countenance,
broke into a little laugh, and said:
" Tiieie is uol much liuini done. I shall geton
very well now. Uou't mlud it; It was nut at all
your fault, '1 liese Utile acctd- nts olten happen."
But she did not seem disposed lo resume the
dance with me— not thai 1 would have tempted
fortune again even if she had been willing to
give me another trial, So 1 slims away into my
old coiner, piolouudiy ashamed of myself and
bit telly reueutlug Ihe weakness lhat had led me
10 undertake au effort for which 1 was wholly
lea— indeed, 1 was ball inclined to quil the
House altogether and go borne.
Would lo h aven 1 bad dune so. But a sort of
fascination riveted me to the spur. I felt an
desire to witness me sequel of mv adventure— to
see what Miss Ayton would do alter the accident
to her dress. I had a ceilain misgiving that Al
len Cuius, having established 11 claim ou her
favor— lllglll as It was— would follow up bis ad
vantage ami ask. as his reward, her hand ill the
yet unfinished dance. Why not? Jealous fool
thai 1 was— conid anything be moie natural?
POSTOFFICE SMUGGLING.
A Special Agent to Inspect Sealed and
Stamped I'sckaue*.
Yesterday morning's dispatches stated
thai a Custom-house officer bad been de
tailed from Washington to investigate a
system of petty smuggling that is reported
to have been conducted very successsfully
of late through the San Francisco Post
office.
United States Collector Phelps when
questioned about the case yesterday, said
he knew nothing about such appointment
having been made.
Deputy United States Collector Jerome
appeared, however, to know more about it
than his chief, for he said: "We examine
only unsealed packages here which aie in
tended fur the East.
"With regard to the Eastern packages,
those which are sealed cannot be opened
here, hut they are sent on stamped '"sup
posed liable to customs duties.' A com
plaint was made to the Secretary of the
treasury from the New York Postoffice.
'I he matter was referred to Collector
Phelps. We investigated the matter and
found that both scaled and unsealed pack
ages bad Seen forwarded stamped. Post
master Backus designated C. >'. Perkins to
attend to the matter in the future, aud lie
was sworn in as a Custom-bouse officer
without compensation on July 3d ot this
year. From that time ilr. Perkins has
turned over all unsealed packages, and no
tices have been sent to the owners in the
East. We have called cv Postmaster-
General Wanamaker ou several occasions,
anil hundreds of seizures have been made
in our own district. All this has been re
ported to the Secretary of the Treasury and
settled long since." _: yr

Ho It Out oT Harm's Way tor the I'resent
at I.- .-'.
C. B. Anderson is a dangerous man, who
will likely be put out of tl.e way of doing
harm for a long time. He was held for
trial yesterday in bonds of £2000 on a charge
of assault to murder, aud £2100 for burglary.
In bis examination before Judge Xix it
was stated that Anderson had entered a
house at 414 Dolores street for the purpose
of committing burglary. He was getting
along nicely in this branch until a man in
the house awoke and attempted to grapple
with him. It was then that the burglar
developed his full villainy. Taking no
chances of capture was bis way of working,
and. in accordance with tiiis Idea, he drew
from his pocket a slimashot, and with one
powerful blow over the head laid the man
whom he was robbing almost lifeless upon
the floor.
The slungshot was produced in court in
evidence against Anderson, lt consisted
of a rock about the size of a man's hand,
wrapped in a handkerchief and attached
to a short piece of stout rope. It was the
weapon of a man who regarded murder as
lightly as burglary.
Knows Nothing About It.
United States Collector Bhelp3 is entirely
at a loss to explain a dispatch published
yesterday, which cites him as telegraphing
to Washington about six Chinese wnu at.
tempted to cross the border at Negates, N.
Mex. He said ho knew nothing at all
about it. However, Interpreter Bickards
has a letter from Deputy United States
Marshal Pant, dated Tucson, August 15th,
in which lie states that he is about to leave
for Nogales to take cbarge of six Chinese
captured while attempting to cross the
border.

HAIU.OWEK'S JIOAKD.
A Sacramento Pauper Proves to Have
1. .-ft Quite is Fortune.
On the first of this year James nar
rower, an old resident of Sacramento, died
at the County Hospital. He was a charac
ter of that city and for years was a pot ular
bar-keeper. As he was supposed to bo in
needy circumstances, however, lie was given
a room, rent free, for many years in
Booth & Co.'s building, and some time
after his death C. T. Wheeler ordered tho
room cleaned. The only article Hint he
longed to the old man was a trunk, which
was taken to ilr. heeler's office and ex
amined. The Pee of last night gives the
following account of what was found:
In one corner in the bottom of the trunk,
crumbled into a ball or wad, was found a
ceitificate ol de, osit for SoWl on the bank
of 1 1. O. Mills. It had been made July 12,
1858 thirty-two years ago. And every
body had supposed Jimmy was a pauper!
The discovery of the certificate almost par
alyzed the searchers, and their investiga
tions were proceeded Willi with more care
than at lirst. A little bag containing 160
silver s-ccnt pieces was then brought to view.
Next came quite a large sum of money, and
then cauio a good-sized treasure— a book
showing that S3OOO was on deposit in the
Sacramento bank. A lutther search re*
vealed a certificate for gsoo which bad been
deposited with Wells, Fargo & Co. souio
lime in the early fifties. There was also a
certificate for £500 that had been made with
Page, Bacon & Co.. bankers, in the early
days, but as they failed long ago, the last
named paper was worthless.
Tho certificates were turned over to
Public Administrator Harlow, who, on the
10th of June, collected the amount called
lor. Be is now engaged in settling up the
estate. , ,
narrower has two brothers in the Last,
one iv Rhode Island, the other in Massa
chusetts. They aie well off and requested
Mr. Wheeler to collect the money aud send
it to them.
Mr. Wheeler, after consulting a lawyer,
put in a claim for room rent, and the
physician of the hospital followed suit with
a bill for professional services, It is said
that the deceased loaned considerable
money to a wholesale liquor merchant and
was never able to get his mouey back ex
cept In small payments.
A MONO LAKH. EARTHQUAKE.
It Sets llAyatacks, '.'.....! -. 1 - And Freight
VV g(» 1 . 8 Will I zinc-
The southern end of Mono Lake was con
siderably agitated last Sunday, says the Ho
mer Index, and dwellers in that shaky lo
cality were much perturbed. Steam was
issuing from the lake as far as could be
seen, in sudden puffs, and the water was
boiling liercely, like a beau-pot, while huge
waves rolled up on the beach and receding
left the sand smoking. In a moment the air
was thick with blinding hot sulphurous
vapor, and subterraneous moans and rum
blings made the wituess think that old Nick
was holding hitth carnival down below.
The fences wobbled up and down and side
ways, the wood-pile at Nay's Banch locked
arms will) a lug freight wagon and waltzed
around the barnyard to the dismal Mow
ings of the dismayed cattle aud the shrill
neighing of territied horses.
This appalling fracas- lasted about two
minutes. Then came a blessed quiet fora
moment, followed by a sudden twitch of
the earth, as a horse jerks his hide and dis
lodges a bothersome fly. The shock threw
men and animals off their feet with bruis
i in; violence, but it was the wind-up of the
entertainment, which Mr. Nay hopes will
not be soon repeated.
It was some hours before the lake censed
to emit columns of steam, and the water be
came very hot. Two springs near the
house, long noted for the coldness and
purity of their water, changed their charac
ter and spouted hot mud for two days,
when they flowed cold water again. A
stack of '.'OO ions of hay was moved seventy
feet south without disarranging it.

A PIUTE MUKDKKER.
The Doty of Slaying Him Falls on Ills
Brother.
The news of the killing of the Plate In
dian who murdered the Mineral Park and
El Dorado Canyon mail-carrier on July 20th
was brought here last Tuesday by a miner
from the canyon, says the Mojave Miner.
The whites were considerably excited over
the murder and bad every reason to believe
that should the murderer go unpunished
other misdeeds would be perpetrated by
bad members of the tribe. It was known
that the guilty Indian was secreted by the
tribe, and every means was brought to bear
upon the chiefs to have him delivered to the
whites, but for several days all efforts
proved futile.
- In the meantime the Indians held pow
wows and finally told the whites that tiiev
had concluded to kill the guilty Indian, anil
that lots had been cast and the duty of kill
ing him had fallen to a brother of the mur
derer, and that he was already on his way
to perform his mission. In a few hours the
Indian returned bringing a big toe and an
ear which he said were taken from his
brothel's body mid he had killed him. The
whites were not satisfied with the evidence
furnished and insisted on being shown the
dead body.
After considerable parley the Indians
consented that a number of white men could
go with the Indian and be shown the dead
one. The body was found several miles
from the canyon and the proof being suffi
cient the whites were satisfied. . forty dol
lars and the mail-carrier's pistol and car
tridge were found on the dead Indian.
Quiet now reigns in the canyon and no
trouble is expected from the Indians in the
near future, and the whites are fully satis
fied with the result.:
AM UxNKULY MATE.
Captain Ford of the St. I'anl Testlfi*-* as
to Ills Conduct.
The hearing in the case of Captain A.
Ford of the ship St. Paul against First Mate
XV. B. Taylor of the same ship was com
menced yesterday before United States
Commissioner Sawyer. Captain Ford testi
fied that Taylor, on the trip from New York
to San Francisco, bad, as was duly recorded
on the log, on July Ist, behaved so badly
that he was removed from his position and
confined to his cabin with forfeiture of
wages. Taylor maltreated Tripp, a half
blind sailor, although be was ordered to
desist by the captain, lie acted so inso
lently mid was so much under the influence
of liquor that only the threat to put him in
irons caused him to go into his room under
arrest. The log-book showed that Taylor
bad surreptitiously confiscated liquors
taken lrom the crew at the commencement
of the voyage, and that he was drunk for
three days in consequence. Also that Tay
lor, armed with a helaying-pin, had terror
ized the crew. A specially heinous offense
committed by Taylor is also specified iv the
log. His general conduct was such that
finally he had to be put in irons for mutiny.
11. A. Borrow and If. J. Louden, passen
gers on the ship, corroborated, as did sev
eral of the crew, Captain Ford's testimony.
Further hearing of the case will be had to
day.

Nbw York. Aug. 21.— The stock market to-day
was decidedly active and very weak, resulting ln
material losses In everything traded In. The bears,
by aid of the labor troubles and tight money, have
at last succeeded In forcing the liquidation of loug
accounts and stocks to-day were tbrown over at a
lively rate. Money loaned at the highest figures
known In years, probably since the May panic of
1884. and a large premium was exacted tor its use
over the day. At 2 o'clock, wheu the market had
reached the lowest figures, a report was received
Irom Washington that the Treasury would prob
ably take some action to relieve the stringency in
the money market, and a sharp rally took place.
The close, after the rally, was firm, but in most
cases closo to the lowest prices of the day. Gov
ernments steady. Petroleum had another bad break
