A CONTEMPORARY calls attention TO
neglected branch Of educaeon-the
art OF reading aloud The average
school boy or girl cannot read an or
binary article in a newspaper in
way to make it interesting. They
hesitate and stammer over the simplest
words. do not mind their stops ana
generally demonstrate that reading
aloud has become one Of the lost arts. u
But there Is a possible reason for this
neglect and that reading aloud is no
longer regarded as an Indispensable
accomplishment

IT has long been conjecture as to
how migratory birds can make their
way at night but it has been held
lsttsrly by the best ornithoiogists that
they are guided by stars. This is
proved by the fact that on clear nights
they fy often to a height OF three
miles and at that height it would be
utterly impossible for them to De
guided by the topography of the
route. Moreover when the stars are
covered the birds become bewildered
and have at once to seek the ground.

UNIFORMLY DIsCOURAGING

Are the Weeks Advicos From the Lead
ing Trade Centers, as to the Iron Trade.
NEW YORK, May 26.-[spectall 1.-The Iron
Age trade report says: Our advices from
the leading trade centers this week are al
most uni ormly discouragins. Pig iron con-
tinues to be seriously depressed, the restric-
tion of production thus far made having
failed to affect the market IN any respect
Too many furnaces are pressing their prod
-uct for sale to permit any Improvement in
prices. Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Chicago seem to be subject to pre-
cisely the same influences While the
so-called standard brands are well
held, the makers of pig iron
lower prices An inevitable settling of val
ues in general to still lower level seems to
be impending unless there is very shortly n
decided improvement in the demand. As
long as pig iron is depressed it seems futile
to look for improvement in other lines of
trade. Steel biIlets are still weak, with sales
repor.ed in Eastern Pennsylvania at equiv
alent to So. Pittsburg Western buyers are
holding of waiting for further decline.
Foreign markets, by cable. are reviewed as
follows: Stocks of iron i'll warrant stores have
been further reduced. The quantity OF Scotch
is now 456 coo tons. against 463, 900 tons week
ago and that of Cleveland has fallen OFF
from $1,000 to 1900 tons. Scotch warrants
prices have dropped, i'll the face of the sta

improved to 39s 2d and nematites to 49s lid.

NEW YORK. May 26-The stock market to-
day was less active mt presented about the
same character and features as that OF yes
| terday. though the movements were on a
reduced scale and considerable irregularity
existed at times. The covering movement was
checked in the early dealings by apparent
selling in London; hut a s the last selling by
the foreigners failed to produce any effect
upon the exchange market, Snts was nroba-
the street remains the same. with improved
prospects in the coal trade but the general
expectation that there will be an advance in
the price of coal ut the meeting to-day made
the Coal stocks again the leaders in the mar
ket for time. and tho usual great activity
was accompanied by an upward movement,
though to-day it was on n limited scale.
Richmond and West. Point was also feat
ure, and the upward movement was in re-
sponse to. the buying caused by the Inn
preston that finally the reorganization
muddle will be solved BY placing it in the
hands of DrexeI, Morgan & Co.
The one weak point in the list was New
England, which was subjected to one of its
sudden and mysterious movements. The
Industrials we're not SO prominent in the
market, and the movement in Cordage came
to halt though all the others were nd
vancal fractionally. Among the Grangers.
Rock Island was the only one in which the
movements were OF special importance; and,
while it was subjected to considerable
pressure in the forenoon, full rally oc-
CURED later.
The specialties which have of late received
80 much attention were held quiet and stag
nant to-day, and the transactions which
gave character to the market were in rail-
road stocks entirely, and in those the usual
leaders. The market closed heavy, but gem
orally at about the level OF the opening fig
ures.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 32l, 1884
shares, including: Atchison, 1855; Erie

$3.50; Western Union, "A ,634: Wheeling and
Lake Erie, $500.
Railroad bonds were still in good demand,
and while the transactions in the Atchison
incomes were extended to $4,000 out of a
total of $2745 900, they were kept wighin
comparatively narrow limits, and the Rich
mond and West Point 5s Iairly became the
feature of the day, with II rise of per cent
to 60. Other changes, as usual on firm mar
ket, were small as rule, but almost invaria-
bly, in the upward direction.

HOG NEAT SKYWARD.

A Continuation of the Excitement of
Weducsday-On!y a Light Trade in
Wheat at Previous Prices-Contract
Grading Of Corn Improvipg-oats Quiet.
CBICAGO-Excitement centered in pro-
visions. Pork opened 71a@l0c higher and
then advanced zoe on liberal buying by the
short interest" As soon as the demand
subsidized there was reaction of l5c, and
then another bulge of l0c on buying orders
coming in from the country. The market
fell on SC later on, and then, under the in
nuence of the strength in grain and liberal
buying by prominent packing institution,
advanced about l5c, the highest point OF the
day. This was followed by a decline of so
119c; reaction to d like extent, and similar
railing of, the market closing 221ac higher
than at the same time yesterday. Lard
gained I12c and closed strong. seemingly IN
dependent of other hog products, and was in
more request than for some time past KIDS
opened at the final figures of yesterday, and
then advanced 223c in response to the
strength in pork and free buying: reacted
later about 713c, and closed l5c higher than
yesterday.
In wheat only slight business was trans
acted and there were no important changes
in prices. The opening was about the same
as yesterdays closing and eased on a trfne.
prices declined sc, ruled irregular and the
closing was about &c higher than yesterday.
IL was clhlncu the NOrVnWcSt solO SoHle
wheat early in the day, and that St. Louis
and New York parties bought Late in the
session advices were received that 1t was
raining in the West and this caused an ad-
vance to the top prices of the day.
Corn showed decreasing activity, with
fluctuations confined within 5s@Ac range.
The price was helped by reports or rains in
this State and Indiana. Business was chiefly
local, the trade buying on soft spots and
selling on any advance. July closed &c
higher than yesterday: There was very
little heard from the deal in May corn to-day.
The proportion of contract corn in the daily
receipts is heavily increasing.
Oats we're not traded in with as much free
dom as of late. The close was easy at 1s@3sc
decline from yesterday.

Philadelphia Gas Gives Way Under the
Pressure OF Raid by Its Old Antagon-
isfs-Manchester and Duquesne We're
Stronger-BirmiDgham Rather ShaIsy.
Yesterday was another dull day in the To-
cal stock market. There were no sales at
the first call. At the second 20 shares of
Philadelphia Gas changed hands at 1slIS, and
go at is. Transactions at the afternoon ses-
sion comprised 25 shares of Citizens Trac-
tion at GA, and 81, 600 Duquesne bonds at l02.
With few exceptions prices at the early calls
were about the same as at the finish the
previous day.
The feature of the second call was another
raid on Philadelphia Gas by Morris Brown.
They had an order to sell pretty big wad,
and in doing SO the price was forced down
from 1871 to 49, Although this pressure was
removed in the afternoon and some buyers
appeared the stock not only failed to react
but weakened still more, and finished on a
bid of l71s. There was none for sale. how
ever, at this figure.
In the street railway list DuQuesne and
Manchester were perhaps a little stronger,
but Birmingham let go trifle. u S. Glass
common was offered down at 6lL There
were no note " Orthy changes in other direc-
tons There was considerable inquiry for
Pipeage, but offers did not meet the views of
sellers. Bids and offers at each call follow:

There is a fair demand for No 1 harness
leather and heavy trace leather, but
Is grades and light weights are sluggish,
as they have been all this season.
Collar leather is quiet, and accumulation is
greater than il has been for some years at

an improved tone since the New England

months of June and July. Betting is quiet,
