MARKET FIRM, BUT QUIET.
Speculation Is Dull, Although
Prices Advance Fraoti0naIly.

buhI,
Prices Advance FrootionnIly.
The Wall street markets were quiet
again this morning. While there were
no very wide fluctuations In prices there
Is still evident an undertone of strength
and growing confidence on the part Of
the investing public.
IL this were not the case the market
would drop under all the talk about
the partial failure of the corn crop.
While this will be disastrous to certain
sections OF the West, 1t is thought that
the losses will be outweighed by the
signs of returning prosperity In the
South and elsewhere.
Railroad earnings generally are I'M
proving and a heavy Fall and Winter
business Is looked for Hence. the In
creasing demand for securities and the
stronger backing Of the market by the
speculative contingent.

good ones, 80 that the child's arts

either sex familiar with what had
happened and where it occurred.
| would make the great buildings of
the world, and those famous because
of what had happened in them, OF of
those who had lived in them, as
familiar to the child as could be the
