THE FLAG OF DISTRESS.

Over the Ocean Of Being.
Till the wind fails,
Fast on their venturous voyage
Speed the white sailsl
But from the ships that have foundered,
Laboring slow,
Hardly abreast Of the pillows,
The rough RATS go.
Thereon the stranded from shipwreck
Painfully lie.
Lead seems the water around them
Brazen the sky.
Cruel the ships that in safety
Steadfastly speed,
Crueiest souls that aboard them
Reck not nor heed.
Nayl for across the wan water
No appeal fails!
Eayl for the tiniest signals
Stay the white sailsl
Some from the ship will come speeding
Eager to save,
Heirs to one glory Of living.
Heirs to one grave.
But if the bearers of succor
Find not the track?
If to the hail OF the helpers
Nothing come backI
What if the wash OF the waters
Drown the heart throb2
II the wild winds in their courses
StiAe the sobl
Say, shall the true hearts of comrades
Vainiy be stirred1
Thou who so sorrowest, answer
Some one has heardl

Dull Times.

There's weeping now, and waiting, too.
Among those genial powers,
Which erstwhile used to laugh and sing
Throughout the happy hours.
"Alasl Alas!" Consumption cries,
''Oh, | am quite undonel"
And Woe" walls gay Pneumonia,
I've lost my pristine fun"
La Grippe and Laryngitis,
And jovial Catarrh,
And myriads Of Coughs and Colds
Are mourning near and far.
And in wretehed chorus
They sing this dismal song
"Oh, these are dull, hard times for Us.
The open car is goneI"

growing fame until, as Ed Harrigan's part

cessful, rich and with future before him
full of bright promise. Then, suddenly, a
cloud passed over his keen intellect.
A quarrel with Harrigan was followed
by break in the partnership and by indi-

new disaster. People did not know the

Speech was gone strength was gone, mind

The other day that too went out, and Tony

In his career lies terrible warning. The
secret of his downfall is in the motto he
boosted of, Il will enjoy life while l have

the designations that he called enjoyment
brought paresis and paresis brought death.
He lived up to his motto with fatal per-

joyed it in a way that meant disaster and
insanity, and that killed him.

falling in the winter wheat region, rain in Cali
fornIa and much smaller decrease In the visi-
BILE supply than had been expected, were pow
erless to arrest the strong upward tendency of
prices for wheat in view Of the fact that some
heavy shorts both here and at ST. Louis were
covering their short lines. Pardridge was the
biggest local target at which the bulls hurled
their missiles, but at st. Louis shorts were
known to be on the anxious seat and before
the close of the market there was a rumor that
member of the famous "Arr Club was in
financial straits. The price of wheat for May
stood &c higher at the close to-day than 1t did
on Saturday and 11Sc lower than the highest
point touched to-day.
The opening price for May was an indication
Of the influences which might ordinarily be
looked for from such news as had then been
received. The opening price was anywhere
from 991Ic to 9gNc. or 1zc to &c below its clos
ing ponlt on Saturday. The slight reaction
named as, however, of only momentary dura-
even up his trades and it is a characteristic and
welI.known feature Of his policy to get out as
quickly as possibly and upon the best terms
Grocurable when he is convinced he is wrong:
This started the battle royal, and before 70
minutes of the session had gone by the price
had advanced to 81 0lZ, just enough selling at
the extreme price to make quotation. HUTCH
1nson spurred the market with some buying
orders. There was trading on an immense
scale all over the pit the feeling was one Of in
tense nervousness and the succeeding huctua-
tions were frequent and heavy. A decline to
81 O01a was succeeded by reaction to 81 Oh and
again by a slump which left the price at VI 0C54
ten minutes from the close of the session, and
the excitement and nervousness continued to
the close.
The strength in corn was due principally. as
was the case in wheat, to the nervousness of
the shorts. PardrIdge was heavily short in this
cereal also, and Hutchinson was vigorous
buyer on the first bulge From 53Nc at the
start corn made quick advance to 54c. chiefly
under Hutchinson's efforts to buy and then
subsidized to around 5354c. when he had desisted.
The oats market was very active and at times
greatly excited. The crowd was bullish. al
though the news was of bearish nature.
Hutchinson was free seller Of May and June.
BarleIte- -Frazee led the buying.
The provision market was irresponsive to the
excitement and advance in prices Of grain.
Trade was rather dull, and the feature of it
was the desire of the longs to sell out with no
buyers apparently but the packers who were
short.
