NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All

New York, Feb. 1.-the reaction which
developed in yesterdays stock market
continued this morning. but was checked
during the day and level of prices was
established substantially above last night
The market became unsteady again AMI
closed rather heavy. The question of
tax on stocks as collateral for call loans
seemed to play an effective part in the
days dealings, yesterdays decision to
collect the tax being apparently respon-
sible for the weakness of the market.

account for the movement is that compe

probably between Union Pacific and the
Gould interests. The strength of Sugar
was due to the decision to take up the
Cuban reciprocity question in Congress
after the war tax reduction is out of the
way. Brooklyn Transit made notable
Manhattan was strong in sympathy, but
Metropolitan Street Railway fell away
over point al the last. AmalgamateG
Copper was the leader of the specialties
one time. The Glucose stocks lost q.
each. Some of the minor stocks which
have recently advanced suffered particu-
larly from profit taking in the morning.

Their gold exports are not thought to be
in immediate prospect. The Bank of
England is shown by yesterdays weekly
statement to be in control of the London
money market and able to make an adj

the price of gold there shows that the
pressure for gold from Paris has relaxed
which makes demand upon New York
for gold improbable. Bonds were again

Department Commander Merrick.

The highest honor in the gift Of the
department of Maine, Grand Army of
the Republic, falls to a Kennebec coun-
ty man, this year, and the choice of
James l.. Merrick of Waterville as de-
partment commander is an assurance
trat the affairs of the order in Maine
will be well conducted during the COM
ing year. His popularity among his
comrades is well shown by the splendid
vote which elected him. and his zeal
for the good of the organization has
been SO frequently and effectively mani
tested that it is no more to be ques-
toned than was his bravery in the days
when he fought in the ranks for the
Union. Mr. Merrick is well known
citizen of Waterville, a successful BUSH
ness man who has won and deserves
many friends all over the State. He is
the sixth department commander

annual convention was held, this week,
in Torrington, Connecticut, and the sec

from the membership of a year ago.
when the figures were 24,32S. New
York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
have the largest membership, embrace
ing 81 per cent. of the total. A de-
crease from 24.32S to 1O.529 in single
year is astonishing and most signifi-
cant. We have not the figures showing
the membership of the organization
when it was most fiourishing. but it
was very much larger than 24,32S. APP

is in sound condition. The assembly
was free from all friction" We are
told that the Organization is today on

excellent condition to do the work

But there is a slim chance of any
rejuvenation. The l.. A. w. has de-

heyday of the bicycle has passed; the
great epidemic of cycleritis is over, and
where score of wheels were ridden, a
few years ago, one will be SEN on the
streets. next summer. 1t is so in this
section and all over the country. The
bicycle is cheaper than ever. its physi-
cal and mental benefits are unquestion-
able. but the world has new playthings.
The wheel will not disappear, but few
indeed are ridden in comparison with
the summers of a few years ago.

For the fourth time the National
House has solemnly expressed its
opinion that United States senators
should be elected by popular vote
The Senate plainly holds another view
of the matter, and it is probable that
the House will have the opportunity to
pass many resolutions similar to those
of Thursday, before any change is
made in this matter. The sentiment
for the change has developed not a
little in recent years and several
state Legislatures in the West have
taken the same view of the matter as
the House expresses. he East has
not been deeply stirred by the discus
sion. Undoubtedly there are many
arguments in favor of the popular
election of Senators, but the present
system answers it's purpose.

A Valentine Sono,

What would you have dear, for valen
tine,
Throned where bright suns and golden
stars are cleaning?
So many hearts to read, would you read
mine,
So desoiately dreaming?
What flower to send, with Spring hec
beauties bringing,
What word to say-what song. sweet in
the singing?
Forsooth, | know not-looking to the
light
That evermore your every pathway
biesseS;
And what were one rose more in the deep
night
OF your unbranded treSses?
And what sweet song shall in that life
find room
Whose voice is music, and whose lips
breathe bloom?
Take you the will for what would be the
deed;
Pity me, dear, seeing ] am but human.
With selfish prayers that angels kind
would lead
My life to such a woman.
Hearing these prayers, will you no.
murmur then.
In your loved prisons, a sweet "Amen?'
