crossed my hands behind my head to sup

New York. May 22.-There was more life

some days for the whole list and the ten
dency OF prices was uninterruptedly up

but this failed to incite any outside par
were small and most of them in a few
active stocks. The market wholly lacked
breadth, many stocks in the usually active
list having not a single transaction to their
credit. Sugar also continued TO be neglect
ed. the dealings in the stock being quite
ostentatiously curtailed. The traders seem
to have made up their minds not to see
any cause for alarm in the Cuban ques-
ton, and disregard the news on the subject
in a manner that offers a strong contrast
to their views on former occasions. They
also attach a large degree of Importance
to a rumor circulated in very explicit form
that the supreme court will hand down a
decision Monday next in the sO-called Ne
braska maximum freight rate and inter-
state m cases, and that the decis-
ion in the former case would be I'm favor Of
the railroads. This case is of importance
to the granger and the belief that the de-
cision will be in their favor materially
strengthened the group and made it the
leader of the advance. The buOyancy of
the general speculation on the london
Stock exchange also impaired confidence
TO the local market. The announcement
of an additional shipment of gold for next
Tuesday of $4,000 was without marked
effect on the market, and the statement Of
a decrease OF S232,O75 in the gross earnings
of Northwestern for April did not affect
the strength in the granger group.

The Thayer Commission Company, in its
weekly letter to the trade yesterday says:
The markets for the week past have been
rather duh and devoid of excitement. Inc
decline in wheat since last Saturday has
been only sc, the market showing a strong
undertone all week. July wheat closed to-
night at 72c: September wheat at &c. The
exports for the week were 2.655,ON bushels,
and the visible supply statement is expect
ed TO show a decrease of from 100000 10
> 500 900 bushels for the week. The large re-
ceipts at the Northwestern markets have,
however, counteracted to a great extent
the influence of the large exports, while
the Liverpool market has shown an unaC-
couutable weakness, especially In cash
wheat. The later crop news has been gen.
orally favorable, although there have been
some repOFtS of damage from chinch bugs.
With the visible supply at 27.O00. 900 to o.
900. 900 bushels, stocks in all the disturbing
centers extremely light. ard. eight weeks
until harvest, we believe that wheat is
worth the price II Is selling for, and that
extreme caution should be used in selling IL
short. The range in corn has been very
between 25ia to 257s cents, and closing to-
night at 25S4c. While there is still an i'm
mense amount OF corn in the country. there
Is also . large demand for II. and the WISH
lille supply has been decreasing rapidly.
There is a large part OF the invisible sup
pIv that Will not come out at these prices.
Scntember corn Is selling to-day for about
a., cents per bushel less than at this time
last wear. and has yet to pass through the
season of hot winds. crop damage reports,
etc. We think that September corn bought
ON all breaks will make the buyer a fair
profit between now and September l."

Oh, what "A Difference.

His business never leaves a chance
To take a holiday,
When his wife reads the announcement
Of a coming matinee.
Life Is much too short for trifles
And his time h must not claim,
But when n friend invites him out
To see a baseball game
That's different.
He vows n man should ne'er complain
About the tax he pays.
But gladly help the government
Its revenue to raise.
Each one should swell the public purse
That threatens to grow slim;
Yet when the blind assessor comes
I~nterroCating him
That's different
He ever counsels ~gentleness.
And SAYS no person ought
To let himself forget h calm
OF philOsophic thought;
Nothing in life is great enough
To justify our ire
But when. eleven miles from home.
A tack sticks in his tire
That's different.
