THE MOUNTAIN DwELLER.

j ask no odds of the men who ride
With trappings that CLEAN like gold:
Nor envy the homes where they abide,
Nor the lands by their will con
trolled
For sense of freedom ana Joy pro-
found
Is mine as l look on high.
There's only an acre or so of ground.
But billions of acres Of sky.
'Tis n heartlcss master, the stubborn
Sol
ms for beauty YOU dclve and strive;
You must blast the quarry and break
the clod
Ere gardens &ld towers may TN i've
But my clouds With castles each night
are crowned
And the radiant stars draw nigh
There's only an acre or so of ground
But billions of acres of sky.
Oh, the town is great and the town is
fine
And it's gay rs Il town can he,
And the house on the height where
the suns aShinr
Is humble. though fair to me:
But Il universe seems to gather round
With joys that will never ny:
There's only an acre or so of ground
But billions of acres of sky.

AT NEW YORK.

boards Commercial Metropolis.

NEW YORK, March Sowing to cable
advices indicating that the Spanish govern
ment had reduced the duty on wheat 25 to
u cents per bushel there was considerable
activity among wheat shorts on the Pro
duce Exchange this morning. While it is
not expected to increase the imports more
than five or six million bushels, this small
amount even means much in the present
bullish condition of supply and demand
May wheat sold up here to $1.02 5-16, over
cent above last nights close, and July
reached 99Ac. The clique also gave good
support to the early market. Letter wheat
is still pouring into New York daily over
the Lehigh Valley road, destined for early
shipment to Europe The afternoon phases
of the market revealed decided irregularity
in prices, late deliveries going to pieces
while the near futures, being under clique
control, held fairly steady and closed as@

sold on favorable crop prospects and closed

port interest, and only small amount
