No laurel wreath or bay,
And yet he made earth happier;
He whistled on the way!
When SORROW frowned and stars were
drowned
In stormy skies and gray.
He saw the light stream through the
night;
He whistled on his wayi
And even grief found sweet relief.
Hope shed a brighter ray,
And hearts he knew not blessed him
For whistling On he way!
And when from 1ffe's dark shadows

not come UP to general expectations;
quotations from there were lower and
the preponderance Of orders from there
were on the selling side; In face, prob
ably over $4,000 shares we're sold here

With the exception, of a few special
ties, the market at home was quite
steady. There is nothing in sight to
change the position or condition which
the market has recently adopted. Large
capitalistic interests are behind It, and,
as we have for long time past assert
ed, capital will only remain where it Is
half way certain of favorable return.
The London market In the late trading
was strong for Americans.
Railroad returns continue to be favor.
able. Money market conditions remain
unchanged. ForeiEn exchange is firm,
but very quiet, with actual rates at
4.84@ and 4,SS.
Wheat remains very quiet Report
has it that some large Chicago interests
are buying wheat. On the whole, how
ever, there Is little speculative interest
observable. Cotton is very much neg
lected. The crop movement is small,
and, taking all factors into considera-
ton, the chances are in favor Of
higher range of values.
There was but very little change In
the values Of stocks during the closing
hour, nor did the market show any new
features. The closing was quiet and
steady.
Bonds were in good request. Total
sales 1,O16, 900 shares.
