New York. May 15.-Today's stock mar ket was weak in tone, the result of exten- sive realiZations and some shorts becoming chronic bears who still refuse to admit that there has been a change for the better in the outside conditions.
 London sold heavily again and brokers here closely connected with the leading bear house were more active than for weeks. The prominent houses having had an average advance for over nine points since March last, reaction was necessary. The activity on the part of the bears and decline of F to 21s per cent Reading was especially weak and on sales of 80, 400 shares the stock e,l fell from 293s to 1Sh Manhattan . statement for the March quarter.

one bright summer morning in the
year lSSl. a man was travelling
through the heart Of DevonShirc TO
Exeter in tirSt-class carriage, the
only other occupant of which was a
comfortablclOo clergyman, who
was evidently able to digest the
Thirty-nine Articles and good daily
dinner with equal facility, and whose
parish, no doubt, showed a happy fer
tllity Of tithes. This clcrgyman's
kindly, fresh-compleXioned face as
sumed an expression Of singular con
Germ and pcrplexity whenever he
looked, as he did furtivcly from time
To time under cover Of his newspaper,
at his fellow traveller The latter was
IL gaunt, haggard man, with worn
and wasted face, which was partially
covered by beard the even and
sharply cut ends Of which showed that
1t had only recently been allowed to
grow, and was lighted by dark, deep
ly sunken eyes of a kindly but singu-
hrly wistful expression; the beard az
well as the hair was griZzled.
j ne lldu lODhel dUOut my VI HNt-
and-ffty; his shoulders were bent, and
he walked with a stiff and labOred
gait. His manner was shy and un-
easy; he wore gloves, which he never
removed and his dress consisted Of
badly made and ill-htting suit Of
gray. The clergyman recognized this
suit of gray as that which Is sup.
piled to discharged prisoners and sol
diers.
1t was scarcely possible TO recognize
In this bowed and broken man In the
Uniting gray suit, the handsome, light
hearted young fellow who Travelled
down to Oldport with another clergy
man only eighteen years before, fun
Of health and hope and intellect, and
talking gaily Of all things In heaven
and earth And yet. II you looked
carefully at him. there was the same
direct and clear gaze IN the candid
brown eyes the same sweetness about
the lips. the same look Of moral
strength In the whole face.
