The "money sharks" as the
monied men of the country are SO
often called, do not seem to be able
to gobble up all the good things on
the market these days. A Boston
stock exchange is sending US re-
peated alluring offers in the shape
of stocks and bonds sdead sure" to
earn three to six per cent. Either
there is dearth in the money mar
ket, or this Boston concern has
dropped on to the racket that Flor
ida printers-State printers at any
rate-have dead loads of money to
invest. Great Scott, what a waste
of postage stamps! We can make
more money in Florida soil than
any stock exchange in Boston has
soaked away for our special benefit,
and we do not propose to be led
astray by these propositions. An
other thing-our pile, as big as it is
down here, would be mighty small
in the Boston exchange.

THE HUMAN BUBBLE.

In the Civilizations of man over
some feat Of imaginary greatness, if
he could be made to realize his own
status to the passing throng the
chances are ten hundred to one it
would take some of the starch from
him. An excellent sermon on the
subject is now going the rounds Of
the press. Its origin is unknown to
us, but its two qualities Of truthful
ness and brevity are so marked that
it is given in. full as follows:
"I saw a dancing bubble upon the
silver surface of "a restless river. For
a moment it sparkled with a golden
light as it caught the sunshine's
glory, and l thought how beautiful
it was. Then it went clear down. For
a moment the river told me where it
had vanished and then swept on
without ripple on its placid bosom.
And 1 thought how like our lives
was the bubble on the river. For a
moment we struggle in our tiny
spheres hope and toll and struggle
love and long and dream-and then
go down beneath the surface forever.
In short time the tiny ripples we
have caused die out, and the great
river Of humanity flows on undis-
turbed. So let us strive with ou1
brief existence to reflect only the
sunshine, not gnirrOr the clouds
above US" :

offering a free ticket to Buffalo, board

outcome would have been greatly en-

the animOsity that some designing

Murphy 6 Co.'S Stock Letter.

By Private Wire to Murphy & Co.
 New York, July 21-The dealings in to- days stock market continued in extreme ly light volume, but the trading had a decidedly firm undertone. More encour- aging advices respecting the situation in the corn belt were received than have been forwarded from the West at any time since the drouth situation first be- gan to attract attention. Reports were again also fairly harmonious In detail, and were to some extent corroborated by the weakness in the market for corn This morning's intelligence bearing upon the steel strike set forth little change in condition, but on the other hand both the common and preferred stocks of Unit ed States Steel Corporation were among the strongest features of the market, d circumstance which was as usual, inter preted as meaning that preliminary measures looking to settlement of the strike had been undertaken.
 Nothing confirmatory of this idea could be ascertained from those quarters in opposition to be informed as to the fact As regarded the other features of the days situation, it might be noted that London sent in a lower range of prices for American stocks and sold moderately in the market, but little attention was paid to these circumstances Expecta- tions founded on the knowledge of move ment of money during week, that the bank statement would be strong show in, were commonly held, and were to some extent effective in the steadiness generally prevailing.
 The feature of the railroad list were St. Paul, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and Anthracite coal stocks and the Atch- ison shares.

 There is little prospect of any sustained upward movement until something Is known regarding the government report As crop accounts are growing better with the rains, the market is likely to rule heavy for days. Except on break when cotton should be purchase. We are not disposed to look for much of an advance until something new in the situa- ton brings In new buying.

The trade was bull ish but having fresh in mind recent try ing experiences on the long side were slow to re-enter the market Foreign interests bought the near months quite extensive ly, the South was disposed to sell some on the rise and all street took profits on mod crate amounts of January.

New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, July N.-There was little trading in the spot cotton market today. Buyers were out among the sample rooms, but the overcast sky interfered materially with satisfactory inspections; and to add to the deterrent influence, there was a marked disposition on the part of the purchasing element to hold off for further concessions of q material nature. Factors were offering freely, but aid not evince a very willing disposition to give way to the extent demanded py buyers and the result was a meagre line of sales. At the close the exchange com mittee on quotations reported the market quiet at unchanged prices. with sales Of but l75 bales of spots and 100 bales to arrive. Apart from the October and De- cember positions there was very little trading done today in the market for. con tracts. In the two relatively active months could best be followed the gen eral drift of sentiment among operators which after the opening advance was steadily anticipative of lower range of values. Liverpool advanced to 4-64d This market responded by hoving up to points respectively. But the undercur- rent of feeling was distinctly bearish and values declined, after the call gradually, but surely cutting away the previous gain and leaving the market at the noon hour at a net loss of to 1 points from yes- terday's figures.
