U T O F THK PIT.NE of the little ironies of the recent

coal strike is the fact that, while itwas supposed To cal l the anxio us a t

tention of the community to the woes of theminers and the grinvous case of those whowork by pcrpcltial night, it succeeded inproducing sympathy for the men's servants,more than for the men themselves for theblindly plodding pit-pony whose grievanceno miner intended to put before the public.

Before the public it nndoulitedly is, however, at the moment: tha t is sufficiently cl earfrom the let ter s we receive an d from theam.ount of sympathy shown for our typicalpit-pony. Patsy, rescued, for the purpose ofpleading his comrades' ease, from the bowelsof the earth.

Pa tsy has work of a new kind before him.Hence forward his part is to be propagand ist

-and to make the selfish outer world awareithat he and his kind, wlio now toil as slavesin darkness, are in no way removed, by constitut ion or charac ter, from other ponies.The anc'mt sage thought there were suchthings as slave-souls, invariably fixed in theser vile bodi'^^ --at he saw wear ily t ill ing thefields, toiling'along roads, emerging at interva ls. froiT) the silver -mines and blinki nghalf-hearte dly at the sunli ght. It was notso.' A new doctrine came soon to tell theworld that in the servile body a free soul,struggling for expression, lurks; which inslow time turned the conscience of menagains t slavery. We fancy that Patsy 's mission is to convince the v.-orld, by his demeanour in the breath of fresh freedom cometo him, that ponies too were artifici ally madeslaves , not nat ural ly born to be so, and t hatthere is no pony but has in him the instinctfor light and air which never dies out in liimeven after years of a grim subsistence underground. Patsy would persuad e us pathetic ally that there is no subterranean soul inponies.

And when the world becomes convincedof this we may be sure t hat " somet hing willbe done " to secure for t he ponies that equivalent of the inimum wage and better conditions post' ,ted for the men. There aredifficulties,. doubt, in the utilisation ofmechanical traction in . minesdifficultiesmainly referable to the impossibility of employing fire in electricity or steam there:none the less trollieTi are alr eady employedwidely enough and it surely should not bedifficult to devise some perfectly safe methodof moving coal trucks in the minesa methodwhich, once started, ought to be much more,swift and handy in the working than poorPats y and his kind can be. Jlere as in otherthings the will is the way. It is for Patsyto make the will effective.

We arc glad to think that he at least hasrecovered his pony's prerogativethe rightto breat he properly again. Much would welike to know how it stri kes himthis c hangefrom an incomprehensible inferno to a gentleparadi se of open air. Wha t do ponies say intheir heartsfor they have heartswhenthey come, thus miraculou sly, out of darkness "to sec the stars aga in "? A. F,

all tliat she has to endureto bring his children intothe world for him.

A large marquee will be erected by thebrigade, where lunch and tea will be served, anda military band will be in attendance each day. A.good many people will motor down from Lond on,but the greater number will travel by special trains,which rtm from Londo n to Taplow, and heremoior-'buses an d conveyances will he in readinessto take people to the racecourse. The motor-'buses, by the vvay, are reserved for the Brigadeof Guards and their friends.

* * *The Duchess .of Somerset will arrange a Nelsonquadrille at the forthcoming On e Hundred YearsAgo ball at the Albert Hall. As a matter of factNelson had beeri dead some seven years in 1812,but it is thought that this quadrille would m.ake agood pendant for the Waterloo Quadrille that LadyPaget is arranging.

Southern Railway Stocks ResumeTheir Rise.3, C O F T I I A L L B U I L D I N G S , E , C , The pace set in the Stock Exchange on Fridayproved too rapid to Inst, and Saturday found markets much more subdued in tone. Importan t features were by no means lacking, but the bad onesunfortunately were quite as numerous as the jrood.Southern Railway stocks gave another display ofbuoyancy, and South-Eastern Deferred continuedits sensational rise, but Americans reflected theirovernight collapse in Wall Street with a furtherdecline on this sidej and Canadian Pacifies, whichhave risen so hea\aly of late, were swallowed upin the reaction. The wild gambl e in Marconis wentmerri ly ahead, and t he revival of activity in the Oilshare market made further progress, but one ortwo of the other Industrial favourites were cnnghtin a stream of week-end profit-taking realisations.

Money moved freely m Lombard Street, biitthere was more of it about, and call money wasoffered at 3 per cent. The charge for weeklyf ixtures , however, was maintained at SJ per cent,as advances for this period cover a number of heavycash transactions, the probable elfect of which isdifficult to gauge. The majori ty of discount housesadhered to S-- per cent, as the min imum rale forthree months' fine bills, but there were more buyersthan before at 3 7-lG per cent.Politics as a market factor were disregarded byC ons o l s , which readied the round 78 for casfi witha rise of a sixteenth, but Irish Land stock remainedunmoved,SOUTH-EASTEBN DEFEHHED STllL RISES.

Although activity in the main was conlined to theSouthern Railway stocks, the Home Railway market as a whole was cheerful, and the recovery inquotations made further progress. The most activefeature was South-Etistcrn Deferred, which closedwith a gain of all but two points, not satisfied witliits sensational five-point jump of the previous day,Tittle Chathams scored the relatively large gain of1 |, and Ch atha m Second Preference was_ marke dup three points further to 75. The Kenti sh Railway boomlet seems to have temporarily taken thewind from the sails of the Undergrounds, the only,active feature, of the group being Metropolitan,which rose 1^ to 67^.

Dealers in the American market here were ill-disposed to open fresh commitments after thesudden collapse of the market in Wall Street over-night, and prices closed much as they had opened,with falls ranging up to H in Louisvilles, Illinois,Southern Pacifies and Unions,BIG ENTHE BIOS SPURT.

Canadian Pacifies were swallowed up in theAmerican reaction and close(L.with a loss of nearlytwo points, and Mexican Rails relapsed rathersharply after their recent rise on the dividend.Entre Rio.s Ordinary stock, which jumped 24 to85 , were the good feature of the Foreign Railwaymarket, while Antofagasta Deferred, which droppedthree points to 1(}3, were the bad one.Foreign Government bonds maintained a dignified but unprofitable silence,The exiraordinary gamble in Mftrconis, whichhave risen 2^ duri ng tlie past week, was continu ediimid the usual wild exciteme nt, and th e pri ceclosed with a gain of 11-32 on the day at 91. Theenthusiastic bulls which throng the market arc talking the shares to ten and even higher within thenext few days, while the " t i p " is going round theHouse to buy Canadian Marconis again, ^ which,it is said, are ripe for another rise after their recentreaction. Hudson's Bays dropped a point of theirprevious day's sharp spurt,One of the mar ket' s weakest featur es was_ General Omnibus stock, which dropped four points onthe question being raised as to whether the enormous r ise in th e pr ice of th e stock t o over JJOO isjustified by the position of the comp any.
