Confessions of GefaIdine,
From Life.

How much longer can I endure it ?
This morning my husband rose before
daybreak. He was too lazy to light a
lamp, and breakfasted in the dark.
The result was he ate the prepared
kindling wood instead of the predigest-
ed breakfast food.
When the servants got up there was
nothing to build the fire with. OF
course they were angry and left. 1 do
not blame them.
l spoke of the matter to my husband
tonight. He said he did not care, that
he had felt first rate all day.
The selfish brute
l am quite calm as 1 write. 1 marvel
at my own patience

This formed

principal basis for the bear raid upon
the market which changed the early
gains of ] to IL into such net losses
for the day was St. Paul Az, New York
Central eX-dividend, Pennsylvania and
Southern Pacific bout 3, and a long
list of losses between l and ,. In the
inactive list there were even wider de-
clnes. The prospect of a further loss
of over s., 900. 900 cash by the banks ag-
gravated the weakness. On the curb
there was a break of 21a points in
Northern securities. The hasty taking
of profits by the bear caused some
quick rallies at the last. but the mar
ket closed in a very feverish and unset
tied state. Expert estimates as to the
effect of the proposed refunding oper-
alton did not promise large release
OF cash to the money market as a re-
suit. The increas ed possibility for note
issues was taken little count of in the
stock market view of the measure.
