WEEKLY fINANcLAL REVIEW.

HENRY CLEws In his report for the
week ending May 2s, 1909, Gays that
the stock market has, during the past
week, shown symptoms Of Reaction
rom It's la,e "bearish" dtilL The
bear" campaign has nearly OK hausted
its ammunition. Coal stocks are look
ing up. Railroads are PROSPEROUS. The
reserves Of the city banks are ON the
increase, the surplus shown In last
weeks statement being SIG, 100000
against S., 100000 year previous.
Tho exports OF gold have ceased for
two weeks, although at this season
shipments OF that metal usually take
place.
There will DO uncertainty until the
cardinal quest ion Of crop prospects Is
more settled. The news from the west
and southwest becomes each day more
assuring; and 30 FAR M respects wheat,
all that can be claimed Ia that good
crop Ia possible, dependent ON the
prevalence OF hne weather from this
time forth. As to Indian corn, the
season OF planting Is doubtless late, aud
In that case there IA always a liability
to the crop being caught by frost.
London shows more confidence In
American stocks. a large portion Of
the $4,000, 900 bonds Issued by the
Pitts., Gu, Chicago & 81. Louis r.
X. was taken over there. At all the
continental centres there Is n glut Of
money. Tho political atmosphere IL
calmer, aud although II is momcntarlly
disturbed by the financial situation In
Italy, yet the cuTiailment In military
expenditures there IL helping To bring
public confidence. The forthcoming
international silver conference docs
not excite the interest In New York
which Its importance warrants. This
msy be ascribed to the opposition
shown II by portion Of the British
press, which lie Interpreted to mean
that nothing Of moment will result
from the conference.

TO ABOLISH THE UTAH CON.
MISSION.

IT appears that the Committee ON
Appropriations OF the House deter
mined, after all, that thoy would no
furnish any moro money for the Utah
Commission. They therefore recon.
mcnded that the useless Board be
abolished, and the duties which they
performed be devolvei upon the Gov.
ernor, Secretary and Chief JustIca Of
the Territory, without compensation
aud that n sufficient sum be- approprl.
sied for secretary work and other nee.
essary expenses.
or course this will not abolish the
Utah Commission unless the House
adopts the report, which IL quite likely
TO occur, aud the Senate agrees,
which IL not likely to occur. 1t
Is barely possible that both
Houses will be Of one mind
n to the useleasness OF the Commits
sion and that II win cease to exist. 1t
In probable, however, that II will bs
continued until Utah becomes State.
This contamination We believe Ia
near at hand, and therefore the people
Of Utah can affori to view with
cquAnImlty the continuance OF the
Commission rs long as Uncle Sam
chooses to pay for the expensive aud
needless incumbrance. All the same,
however, there would be very general
acqulescence 10 the action ofCongress,
II II relieved the gentlemen who com.
pose tho Commission Of any further
neglect Of their important aud lucra.
tive professions at their respective
homes.

INSTRUCTIVE TESTS IN FEEDING
HORSES.

BULLETIN No. ~ ofthe Agricultural
Experiment Station Of Utah has been
received. It reports tho result OF
feeding trial Of horses by Director j.
w. Sanborn.
Two lots fhorses were fed for nearly
three months, one lot with hay and
grain mixed, and the other lot with
hay and grain fed separately. The
food was then reversed and the ex.
pertinent continued for two months
more. The disadvantage was found to
rest with the fodder composed OF hay
and grain mixed, because, while on
this feed, the horsea did not maintain
their weight as firmly as ON tho other.
This trial gave results similar TO tosls
made on other animals, hence II l.
clear that the old argument in favor OF
mixing hay and grain Is not sound.
This bulletin contains "a report OF
second trial made as to tho relative
merits OF cnt against whole hay for
feeding horses. The test was decisi
vely In favor Of cut hay. The differ.
ence In weight OF the horses was il5
pounds In favor Of cut clover for the
four aud half months covered by the
trial. Az In the case OF the frs. test,
the food was reversed alter certain
period, 30 that the trial could be fairly
made on the same animals. The re.
results arr decisive, and in accord with
a trial made by the Indiana Expert.
ment station with cattle.
Director SanbOrn points out the fact
that these trials, covering nearly a
years. time with four horses, showed
that horses consume practically IN.
same amount Of food that cattle do
when high fed. He also shows that
less food was eaten during the hot
months than during the cooler months,
aud particularly 10 In regard to grain.
\ The postoiilce address Of the expert.
ment station IL Logan, Utah. Direo.
tor sanborn will be- pleased 10 forward
copies OF the Bulletin to persons Inter.
ested In the feeding and care OF horses.

DECORATION DAY.


1T has been said that envy ia the vice
OF republics and ingratitude their most
marked characteristic. THIS snying
will not apply to the Republic Of the
United states OF America, Any per-
son who gives thought 10 what trans
pllSt yesterday all over this broad land
must admit that neither envy nor In
gratitude are characteristic Of our
country.
President Harrison, accompanied by
Governor Flower, participated In Me-
mortal Day exercises. at Rochester,
New. York. Ex.President Hayes was
among tho leading figures in the celc-
bratlon at Columbus, Ohio. And 10
on down to the humblest citizen In the
land was tie memory Of the departed
honored and respected. In Chicago
the Union and Confederate ex.soldiers
Joined to observe the day.
In the matter Of provision for the
survivors OF the civil war there has
been no penuriousness. The total cost
for pensions for the current year, end
Ing June 30 next, will aggregate about
slis, 200. There are now 100000
applications before the bureau under
the old and new pension laws; and 1t
Is possible that la the near future the
annual outlay for pensions will amount
for some time TO come to about $780,
0OO,0OO annually. In the nature OF
circumstances the increase can not 20
on much longer. Once tho zenith Ia
reached, the decreasing process will be
rnpid.
There are 10 pensioners OF the war Of
the revolution still on the rolls. They
are all women, the wives OF old
soldiers, and they vary In age from so
TO 100. There are also a number on
the rolls from ths war OF 1879, aud tho
Mexican war. All this disproves the
old remark that republics are lnvarl.
ably ungrateful. In some respects our
own has been lavlshly the reverse.

A DESIRABLE CHANGE.

THE prospects are that the so.callsd
"Christian Industrial Home In this
city win be devoted to a more sensibl 10
aud useful purpose than that designed
by Its founders. The proposition
favored In Congress is to give II to
Utah for an Institution for deaf mutes.
This will DO OF some real benefit.
The building Is adapted for the pur.
pose. Such place ia needed. Now
1t stands as u monument Of folly and
meudacity; folly on the part OF the
Legislators Of the nation In appropriat.
ing money on the pleas OF deceptive
per,ons, and mendacity ON tho part OF
ihose who maligned the Enormous"
to get the money.
As an Institution for the deaf and
dumb It will be changed to mark OF
mngnanimity In the government, and
Will bc OF great coed to the unfortun.
stos who are deprived Of speech and
hearing. We hope there will DO no
disagreement In Congress on this
de sirable change.

UTAH's ADAPTATION FOR GRAPE

THIS morning Mr.. ID. Lebcher, OF Ak.

writer that Utah Ia admirably ADAPTED

There is no criticism Of Governors

drawn upon his Imagination for nm
objection instead Of Oh the book. What
Is told OF the Judges ia the early days
OF Utah is the simple truth. II cannot
be controverted. No attempt is made
to dispute what is said. The DEs'
BRET Nsws has had occasion, year

and has expressed opinions concerning
them. The History Of Utah relates the
occurrences but does not indulge In
iDvectivc. without this narration 1t
would not DO q history Of Utah.
II IL not true that the author has
failed to recognize the good or the
right, where II existed, In per
sons private or Official who opposed
tho Saints. We could prove the
contrary n we had space to quote
from the volume. The assertion Of the
critic Is rash anu shows, "a we have
