Death of tho Poet Bryant.

On the Goth Of May Mr.. Bryant attend
ed the unveiling Of the bust of Mazzini, at
Central Park and sat upon the platform two
the city with friend, and while ascending
the steps of his friends house he was seized
with virtigo an fell, striking the back of his
head on the stone steps. The shock was fatal
Lingering mostly in a comatose state till June
l2th he quietly passed away. William Cullan
Bryant was born in Cummington Massa-
chusetts, Nov. 5, 1894, and had reached the
great age Of nearly 81 years. He had scarcely
reached his teens, when he diseased pre-
cocious poetic genius, and wrote and published
poems which attracted considerable atten-
ton. At the age of 10 he wrote mis- famous
poem entitled "Thannatopsis," which for
touching sentiment, poetical grace and beauty
was never excelled by any of his later poems,
admirable as many of them were. He was
admitted to the bar in his native county, Berk-
shire, and opened law Office in Great Bar
rington. After few years, his literary tastes
predominated, he retired from the bar went
70 New York and engaged in literary pursuits.
In 1925 he became connected with the New
York Daily Evening Post, and soon acquired
controlling interest in the paper, he retained
his connection with it to the day of his death.
He published number of volumes both Of
prose and poetry, and stood In the first rank
Of American authors. His was pure life,
and in his whole career presented the best
type Of cultured, high toned, personally
beloved American citizen.

NEWS OFTHE WEEK.
ForeiSn Grain Markets.


Tho Mark Lane Erpress says, speaking
generally: The appearance Of all the cereals
is bulky. but the tendency of so much mois-
ture has been to develop the plant at the ex-
pense Of the grain producing power, and ap.
psarances do not favor the presumption of
more than bare average yield, at any rate as
regards wheat and barley. The supplies Of
English wheat have been moderate, both in
the country markets and Mark Lane. Sales
Were only practicable ut one shilling to two
shillings per quarter reduction, which grow
ers have accepted with manifest reluctance.
Foreign wheat has been coming to hand free
ly. Trade having been very dull, most of
this wheat has gone into store and an increase
In stocks will probably be apparent at the
end of the month. America, Russia and Ger
many have been the chief sources of supply.
From the two countries first named We shall
receive heavy imports for some time. India
may also resume her prominent place in the
grain supplying trade. As regards trade,
there is very little change, but there has been
rather stronger feeling as regards foreign
wheat at the reduced prices Of last Monday,
which are two shillings per quarter lower on
the week. Inquiries being chiefly from coun-
try millers, sales have been, to great extent,
in retail way. Values have declined for all
varieties of cereal produce, now that the con-
gress is definitely settled upon and in the
opinion of the corn trade, the influence of
politics has ceased as factor in the course Of
