MARKET REPORT,

The following are the market reports
as received over our private wire:
Citizenship papers are quoted above
par: but the market on these is gov
erned by the amount of business tran
sacted by the advance agents.
Resolutions are steady, and, al
though the prevailing conditions are
unfavorable, the foreign export ex-
ceeds that of last year.
Paroles are in good demand, but the
market is very uncertain. Whenever
there is break in resolutions, paroles
are likewise affected
Expectations are rather lively to-
ward the close of each month. after
which they maintain their usual stead
mess. Occasionally the market be-
comes exceedingly bullish on the
receipt of unreliable reports from for
eign correspondents. Take it as a
whole, expectations are a poor invest
ment.
Promises are as wild as last year and
the market has become stagnated.
There were fourteen failures in ex-
pectations last month on account of
the unreliableness of of promises.
Faith remains about as elastic as
promises. When there is a slump in
promises, the market conditions in
faith are correspondingly depressed.
Hope is quoted at an exceedingly
low figure, and spectators dabble in it
as listlessly as the sun plays with ici-
cles on a cold morning. Occasionally
the market on these takes a metoric
flight, caused by an unusual rise in
promises and expectations. Expert
ence, however, has taught us not to

search and returned TO their comfortable
homes among relatives. Well, boys,
maybe they are better off than we, but
we won't say that they are, Will we?

where there's everything to win. moth
