The entertainment given last Thurs
day evening, under the direction of
Mr.. F. l.. Farnham, district organizer
for the Fraternal Union of America,
was fairly we'll attended and a greater
part of it enjoyed by all. The singing
was especially fine and the recitation
given by Mrs. III. HI. Bullene, also de-
serves mention. Her selection, 1.-THE
Polish Boy" is a very difficult one to
master, and considering this, she did
unusually well. The original poem,
written and recited by Judge w. H.
Clans" caused considerable merriment
and was received with great applause.
1t reads as follows:
On the plains of Wyoming where all the year
through
They seldom have rain and more seldom have
They live upon climate. on climate alone
And OH the Snake river and Clearwater too,
Where buckskin and blankets are always in
They boast of their climate, and why should
they not,
Except sage-brush and rim-rock, its all they
have got.
Down on the Willamette mid the floods and
the fogs,
Where all the church music is made by the
frogs:
The wonderful climate Is always their boast,
How summer eternal smiles on the coast.
But here on these islands where sunshine and
rain
Bring fruits in perfection and flowers in its train
The climates exquisite and nothing is sham,
We live upon climate and diet on clam.
And then when the cupboard is empty-at
times,
And the pot sings less merry for want of some
Dimes
When the harder is vacant Of beefsteak and
hams,
Tis so pleasant to picnic the beach where
there's clans.
For clans and for climate San Juan takes the
cake,
For beauty and music she bears off the PALM
There's no heart SO dull but sweet music can
wake,
And it sooths the strong passions to quiet and
calm.
All hail then the music, proudly we boast
The delight and the joy of our green island
homei
The lovelicst spot on Pacifcs fair coast,
It will live in our boso1ns wherever we roam.

The condition of fruit canning is
peculiar in California, although sales
have been larger this season than for
ten years. Many Gamers will get
small benefit from the increase in trade.
as they are tied up with contracts for
delivering inferior watered peaches and
other fruit. Prices have advanced
sharply because of the failure of the
frult crop IN Delaware and MARYLAND
ana the thorough cleaning out of old
stock. Sales were so heavy that a
fortnight after the season opened prices
advanced. Standard apricots, which
began to sell at IS cents a dozen, are
now selling at 81; standard peaches
have advanced from 81 to 81. 15(9Sl. 20;
standard pears from 81 to $1.15@$1. 20,
and other fruits in proportion. In fact,
many Gamers are afraid to name a
price until they see their orders packed,
as they stand in dread of being taken
up at figures which they may name
and then of not being able to fill orders
at profit. The Gamers have been
unable to work up all the fruit for
which they contracted, but the total
pack of the season is estimated at A.

over last years pack.

FINANCIAL NOTES.

Thomas H. Bolmer of the well known
firm of Prince & Whitley, bankers and
brokers, New York, and a brother Of
Mr.. C. B. Bolmer, manager Of the firms
New Haven branch, Is very shrewd,
far seeing and reliable observer of the
financial horizon, and he remarks as
follows In yesterdays New York Times
on the financial situation:
I'm my opinion there is an opportu
nifty to buy stocks just now at prices
lower than we will see for some time.
/ believe the market is ripe for an up
ward movement that will prove to be
the one We have been looking forward
to for months Don't misunderstood me
and think l am predicting that stocks
are going to Immediately take on new
energy and so up with a rush. l don't
mean anything of that sort; I do not
look for any boom. But l do believe
that the time for the turn has come
and that we have seen about the last
of this sagging tendency which has re-
Gently been SO apparent.
THE man who buys stocks now and
who, on any further decline, adds to
his lines, will before long see large
profits in his speculative account.
THE bear cards seem to me to be well
worked out. The European war is over,
or at least sufficiently so to make it
harmless as a market influence; the
tariff delay has had its effect on prices;
railroad earnings and general business
throughout the country is improving;
security prices are low, and the special
bear attacks on particular stocks APP
pear to be over. In fact, the bear party
is about at the end of it's labors.
From now on land by now I mean
the next week or two) there will be i'm
provement. And before the summer is
we'll upon us, / think the upward ten
dency will be manifest to ALL There
| will be reactions, Of course. I do not
there will be gradual ADVANCED
steady, healthy appreciation in security
| values
Il am bull on the market from this
time on. And I feel confident that the
chances for profits on the short side
have gone-for a long time, at least.
1t will be the man who is long on
stocks who will make money this sum-
mer."
