HOME BALLADS BY BAYARD TAYLOR. With lllustra-
.tions. Alto PIP. 81. Houghton. Mifhin Co.
The preparation OF these poems as holiday DOCK
was happy thought. The pieces have qualty
which will always endear them to the popular
heart and commend them 10 the critical Judgment,
and they are admirably suited for the purpose Oh
illustration. They have been SO long known anu
valued that elaborate comment npon them no"
would be super1uous. There are five BALLADS Ill Une
collection. "The Quaker Widow strikes pa, :,
thetic note with sure touch; "Ihe holly iioo
sings of rustic love with charming simplicity, grace
and feeling. John Reed and Jane Reed are
companion pictures, distinguished both lot Spr''u"i
insight and for homely truthfulness; and the vol
nme closes with the fine character sketch of " The
Old Pennsylvania Farmer" Although there Is a
resemblance among these ballads in form aud local
color and even in spirit there is also sufficiently
wide range in the subjects that the artists are AZ
no loss for variety in the illustrations. Numerous
pencils and gravers have been employed npon the
work with excellent effect and the mechanical exc
cuton is all that an exacting buyer need ask.
THE POETS AND POETRY OF IRELAND; BY ALFRED
NJ WILLIAMS. limo PIP xv., All. Jsies H. W.
good 4 Co.
Nothinp conld be more unlike the customary Irish
anthology than this sensible yet appreciatlve VOL
ume by a New-England journalist. During a visi1
to Ireland several years ago, Mr.. Williams was 50
strongly impressed by the richness and interest oi
the national poetry that he entered upon serious
study of the subject and we have here the produce
of his long and industrious research. lie has cNcr-
clsed a discrimination in his labors which the pa
trotc collector of Irish is apt to lInd peSoh
his reach, and yet he is by no means "eHc'o"' III
that enthusiasm which every editor Of poetry oughC
70 feel for bis materials The result is very read
able book which will be acceptable to all lovers OF
literature The divisions of his work, each pre-
coded by critical, historical or biographical re-
marks, are "The Barls' and their immediate sue
cessors, The Hedge Poets" The Street Ballads"
Convivial and Humorous Songs" and finally the
writings of individual poets.
MARTIN LUTHER AND HIS WORK. BY JOHN II, TIRED
WELL. 16Ino. pp vi, @i3 q. +. Putnans SONS
This book, forming one of the New Plntarch
Series is written with an exalted idea of the char
acter of the great reformer and the nature OF ms
work yet it is marked by discretion unfortunately
not common in religious biographies. Some OF the
romances long associated with the name OF Luther
are discarded, in accordance with the conclusions
of modern research. Perhaps many personal trans
and anecdotes which might well have been pre-
served will also be missed from Mr Tredwells I'M
adorned tale; but the plan of his work required
that the space should be devoted 10 other things

CLOSING PRICES or PHtLIDELPHIA STOCKS

THURSDAY, Oct. 27-P. NJ.
To-day's stock marketsYas neither more nor less
than it was reasonable to expect it to
be. The opening was brilliant beyond any
thing that has been seen at the Stock
Exchange for many months. The best prices
however, were made after snail decline had lol-
lowed the opening figures. But later the market
lapsed into dulness, and prices dropped all day.
All there was, or is, of the market ID concen-
trated within the immediate vicinity OF the
Stock Exchange. Commission brokers never

complained more loudly of lack Of or Ier.
than they did during yesterdays excited market
and to-day's dulness The large " short" interest.
particularly in the Vanderbilt shares, has been
pretty nearly quidae because of the positive as
sertions that were made that Mr.. Vanderbilt has
purchased go 900 shares of Lake Shore stock which
assertion seemed to be confirmed by yesterdays
movements. Spectators of average capacity, who
go no deeper than the surface. are still inclined
to believe that the railroad war Is only q stock
jobbing operation and that the war will end when
eyer Mr. Vanderbilt has secured such stocks as he
wants. hence they are "game" for bold opera
tors wherever there is an accumulation of shorts"
in that class of stocks At the very end OF the day
there was sma rally in prices, but the market
closed lower than last evening.
The dealings in Government bonds were small,
being confined to sales of the continued IS, the
final bids for which ls higher than last evening.
Fer the other issues the bids are unchanged, aud
the market steady at the following quotations:

TIE STORY OF A SCANDINAVIAN SUMMER. BY
KAruARISE L. TYLER. I6mo. PIP. 1914. c. L. Put
HAAS Sons.
This is singular tumble Of guidc-book, diary
md legendary chronicle. The title is far too
modest. A book which gives us bits of legend to-
gether with detailed modern bills of faie, which
tells us In one breath Of Harold Harfager and
Mr.. Bennett commisSiondre at present resident in
Christiana; which jumps from detailed descrip-
ton of the misery of Norway coasting steamers to
an account of the town of Bergen from its earliest
period; which devOtes an enthusiastic chapter to
aday with Thorwaldsen, and gives as well the
details of the fishing industry of Norway; such
book surely may lay claim to more comprehensive
title than "A scandinavian Summer" There is
doubtless a certain amount Of information given
which is likely to be OF value TO expectant travellers
who have time and patience to pick 1t out from the
mass of irrelevant matter with which Miss Tyler
has overlaid it, But the author has attempted so
many things that we can hardly say she has sue
ceeded in any, and the book leaves highly con-
fused impression the mind. Miss Tyler has
irritating stye--a compound of patronage and
spr ghtliness which q decided sense of re-
sentiment. q DO you know the legend of the royal
standard which floats from the fortressp "Are you
tired of fish Diet she asks after the description Of
the Norway fisheries above mentioned. q Or shall
tell you tale of potted sprats I" This does well
