THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.

New York, June at would be useless
to seek for anything but negative infer
ence from the operations in today's stock
market owing to the smallness Of the
dealings and the languid movement of
prices. Variations OF as much as a point
arc rare and must be sought amongst the
obscure portions by st. Paul, usually an
active leader of the market, but today
there was only three transactions up to
o'clock In this stock. The undertone
was rather firm as the immediate news
developments were favorable to values.
The buying was entirely by small profess
sional traders and the market was so mar
row that they were obliged to concede all
of the advance IN price caused by their
bidding In order to close out a contract.
The traders bought during the first hour
In the belief that the success Of the an.
thracite operators In keeping their mine
pumps going. in spite of the strike. would
presage rise In the value of anthracite
stocks. Importance was also attributed
to the notable increase In the receipts OF
corn and the resultant decline in the corn
market. The higher rate for money was
probably the most influential factor In the
depressing condition of the market. Rates
for call money ruled about last weeks

mand for Consolidated Tobacco As. 9th

THE THANKFUL BOX. +"

IN A RECENT ISSUE of that al
ways interesting publication. the
Youths Companion, is a story which
contains most helpful suggestion. 1t
tells about the starting of Thank
full Box by family that didn't appre-
ciate its many blessings. When any
member Of that family felt thankful
for something, he deposited a penny in
the box, II there was special reason for
thanksgiving. the amount was in
creased in proportion to the event and
the donors means. At the end Of a
year that box was fairly bursting with
money and a great celebration re-
suited.
The idea. can be worked out in every
home with all its great lessons. How
few are the people who know a bless
ing when they see it; how few under
stand that every day of their lives. al
most, they have reason to be thankful.
The blessings are not always large
ones: indeed the large blessings. So
called, are few and far between. There
are enough Of the everyday blessings.
however, to keep the spirit Of thankful
ness in excellent working order if we
SO desire.
Even the man who said that if air
cost five cents a barrel, he'd suffocate,
should have felt thankful for the fact
that air is free. It is hard to imagine
condition in ordinary life which
couldn't be worse Nearly every indi-
vidual can think of somebody who has
less cause for thankfulness than him
self. Come to think about it. if we
were all thankful every time We ought
to be thankful, it would take a mighty
big Thankful Box" to last a year in
a family il donations accompanied each

A very pretty way of using the
Thankful Box" notion would be for
families to maintain them for a stated

society. but probably couldn't see it
that way.
It seems hardly fair TO expect the
red men 10 take civilization in such
homeopathic doses. They should be
given everything or nothing. We see
no mention of porcelain bathtubs, for
instance. in his order That is a civ
inzer of which we fear the average In
dian knows mighty little. Then the
government might furnish carpets for
the wigwams. cradles for TIE papooses,
steel ranges for the squaws, silk hats
and frock coats for the bucks
The very least Mr.. Jones can do is
to send out some pink tea experts to
instruct the noble red man in the art
of ground and lofty conversational ac-
r0batics. Links might be established

savage persuaded to trim his war club
down to golf stick. The possibilities
are Indeed vast and The Herald wishes
Mr.. Jones unlimited success. He may
