Granite State Affairs.

A dispatch from Biddeford to the
Boston Herald says: 1t was learned
here today that a Biddeford man, who
lately came into possession of con-
siderable sum, has been investing
heavily in New Hampshire sharehold-
ers' certificates Of stock in the Granitc
State Provident Association, which or
ganization was forced to the wall
year ago.
The impression seems to prevail in
many quarters that. though there were
about dozen states involved in the
Granite State Provident's failure. New
Hampshire stockholders will fare best,
because all of the real estate assets of
the association are located in that
state.
The receiver and master in chancery
appointed by the supreme court to han
die the Maine funds are. it is under
stood. considering the advisability of
turning the Maine funds over into the
New Hampshire receivers hands when
the proper time comes, and allowing
the Maine creditors to share proper
tionately with investors in the sister
state. There is ample time to consider
that question, however, for good judges
estimate that the chaotic condition OF
the associations affairs will not be
completely cleared in at least another
year and a half. The estimates on the
amount of dividend the shareholders
will receive range from 25 to IS per
cent.
In Maine there are about 1000 stock
holders, representing nearly $1,000
shares of stock, on which, at the time
of the associations collapse. payments
of one dollar each per month were be-
ing made, much of, that sum floating
into the treasury of the association at
the home office in Manchester, N. II.
There is in the State treasury in Au-
gusta deposit Of SCI, 900, placed there,
in compliance with legislative decree,
''to protect the interests of Maine
shareholders" But that sum would
not admit of the payment of very
large dividend pro rata upon the
amount of Maine money tied up in tn
association.
Most of the Maine borrowers have
settled with the receiver and cleared up
their second mortgages. That part of
their monthly payments which was
reckoned as premium and interest Cn
their loans has come back to them,
with six per cent. interest, they paying
the association an equal per cent. on
their total loans; but borrowers and in
vestors share alike in the tie-up of the
money they invested in stock of the as

In Grange Circles.

Rangeley would like to have a

Frederick Richie Grange, Waldo,
conferred the first degree on two cam
didates at it's last meeting.
Dromore Grange, Phippsburg, has
observed matrons' and husbandmen's

Exeter Grange will observe Chill
dren's day." June 26. at which time the
flag which was purchased recently will
be raised.
Pine Cone, Union, consisting of Cush-
noe Winslow, China, Silver Lake and
Vassalboro Oranges, met with Vassal-
boro Grange, May 26. The meeting
was well attended for such a busy sea
son. After music by the choir, the ad
dress of welcome was given by Worthy
Master Richardson. Response by Bro.
George l.. Weeks, master of Cushnoc
Grange. The question for the forenoon
meeting was, Economy on the Farm.
What are we to understand by econom
ical methods in farm work and man
agement? In what way can we prac-
tce greater economy on the FARM
This question was handled in an able
manner by Brothers Drummond, Smith,
Crowell, Merrill, Metcalf and others.
All agreed that it was economy to pur
chase the best of tools and take good
care of them. Clear up the old fences
that are not of any use, and everything
you do, do we'll. After recess for din
ner. the programme was continued as
follows: A paper by Deputy Crowell
on Grange Principles" song by Sister
Abbott: question, Farmers Educa-
ton. What education is needed by tn !,
farmers of the present time? How can
farmers best attain the education they
need?" opened by Brother Metcalf, fol-
lowed by Brother Perley, Sister Brown,
Brothers Clark, Aver. Crowell and
others. The conclusion arrived at was
that farmer needed good, common
school education with some knowledg :
of botany and chemistry, and that he
should learn all he can by observation,
studying the needs of the different
soils, etc. Sister Brown of Cushnoc,
thought the grange an educator in
many ways. This closed the pro-
gramme of the Union meeting. After
closing supper was served. and all that
could remained and were entertained
by Vassalboro Grange with the follow
ing programme: Music by choir read
ing by Brother George Taylor; song by
Sister Evans; medley; song by Sister
Lizzie Butterfield; speech on woman's
rights by Brother H. J. Marden: music
by double quartet; declarations by
, Brothers Frank Rand and Willie

enioy the entertainment very much

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings IN All
tho Leading Stocks.

New York, June The strong upward
movement of the Changers received some
check, today. on account of rumors OF
damage to the corn and other crops in
the Northwest by the bad weather. Bur-
lington and ST. Paul. the leaders of the
group. receded somewhat in value in
consequence, and the whole market was
more or less adversely affected. North
west also lost fraction. The dealings in
the two leaders, especially Burlington.
were quite heavy. but strong support was
forthcoming for them at the lower level.
Indeed, St. Paul rose at one time frac-
ton above Saturdays close.
The reaction in burlington and at times
in other special stocks did not affect the
strong undertone of the market Rock
Island was the strong element in the
Granger group and was an exception in
showing net gain. The market lost
the dealings were we'll distributed and
the buying good all through the general
list The heaviness in individual stocks
was due to special causes and this
worked a decline in the market from time
to time. But the decline was in almost
all cases fully recovered. Commission
houses were again buyers for outside Gus
toners. and the arbitrage brokers were
also in the market
The bears worked decline in Southern

all the loss. Western Union was sold

Gould group was no small factor In rally

Inopportune and Unwise.

Dispassionate consideration of the
subject of currency reform discloses
certain truths which need to be borne
in mind, especially If this subject is
soon to be pushed to the front as an
issue of partisan politics:
a. Among the masses little thought
has been given to the structure Of our
currency system, but every one knows
that for many years, with the currency
just as 1t is today, we enjoyed the
best period of prosperity in the ma
tion's history. 1t will take work to
make these people believe that a cur
rency which then offered no apparent
obstacles to good times should now, Of
sudden. be sent to the junk pile.
G) The leaders in the movement to
retire, the greenbacks and substitute
bank notes are principally bankers;

ka is not an encouraging experience.
Even the natives keep out OF the interior
for obvious reasons. And again. while
the gold that has come out seems formid-
able In total, how about the gold going
in? If 5000 men go in with the needed
$500 or $1,000, or as some say S5,0O0 as
capital, you have a stream of gold Alaska
ward, which reaches 800, 900, s5,0Oo,0oo or
$25,0O0,0 600 To get that amount out of the
Klondike alone would take years Of hard
labor. Gold there is in Alaska in plenty.
but 1t cannot be had for a song. So it
will be well for all budding boomers TO
take things calmly and think II over.
Better not go in this year of grace.
