an expression of hope that pretty much
all necessary concessions have been

liability that as new clips come upon
sale in larger quantity and better as

Iattentien to infuse more life into the
movement of supplies, and afford a
basis for greater uniformity and
strength on values. But aside from
this the reports do not contain much

Operators In the majority OF cases con-
slider the outlook AS quite doubtful.
The unfavorable results on the Califor-
piaspring clip has weakened confidence
regarding the successful handling OF

Especially so as producers appear to
have fixed upon limit which affords
no margin on purchases to be brought
here for distribution, and there Is moth
ling at present shown to indicate the
forming of a base for pasitive reaction
on values. Most of lre small dealers
and a great many Of the mills no doubt
want more or less stock, but buyers
lhave become very cool and careful
operators, and not readily startled into
free movements except upon the most
positive and clearly defined reasons,
and spectators appear to have no real

that the danger from imports is exag'

And wrappiag you round In weird, soft

That cry in my heart, ''Oh, my life and my
queen."

Uplifting, then losing, the strain that IL
bore;
Ihesrd, as a ssilor whose fancy beguiles
With ripple of waves on some low, rocky
shore;
But never witchery wrought by the scene
To hush my fond heart that went singing,
"My Queen-"
The echoes and incense, the light and the air,
Made rich to reflect what in ritual read
The people repeated, responsive In prayer,
Seemed only refrain of the one thing l said
