I wandered here forgetful, gay,
Until a sudden glare of gold.
From fields flame -kindled after cold,
Recalled me TO that other May.
And you were with me. down a way
Rooted low by branches tender-green:
The sun smiled through with gracious
mien
And. Midas-like, made gilt OF gray.
There hangs an old gate by brook.
So like another which we spanned
When through the field our steps we took
With childish chatter. hand In hand.
our arms with buttercups we heaped.
You wore them in your gown, your hair;
our senses In spring Joys were stepped
IL cannot be you did not care!
I deemed the past. so passing sweet.
Forgot and | grown blthe and cold;
These flowers a-bloom beneath my feet
Have thrilled me with May memories

REVIEW OF FINANCE.
Financier Explains the Money Situa-
ton In New York.

New York, Aug. 22-The Financier this
week says:
The most striking feature of the state
ment of the New York associated banks
last week was the increase of s9.5S9ScJ
in loans This was expected because Of
the character of the business on the
stock exchange early in the week when
there was large buying OF securities for
investment and speculative accounts.
calling for increased accommodation from
the banks. This buyin gof stocks and
other securities in the previous week was
also large, but it was then reflected in
the loan item, as was expected for loans
showed an important decrease 1t seems
probable that as loans must have been
largely increased In the latter part Of
that week. through stock operations. the
loan item was then made up on rising
averages which We're reflected in this
item last week. The loans were also
Influenced by the important increase Of
81. Oss 500 by the western national bank
OF the United States which increase was
probably due to operations incident 10
the intended merger. The net cash gain
by the banks as reported BY last week
statement was 81. l06.i0o while the esti-
mates based upon the traceable move
ment of money during the week. indicated
a gain Of 1886. 500. This is not only an
unexplainable discrepancy OF H.4e 900
shown by these figures. but also the i'm
portant unaccounted for difference OF
g. 100 500 between the official and the es-
timated figures of the previous week,
which difference was not corrected IN
last weeks statement. The deposits in
creased $40. Az. 30 which amount Is less
by 81. go 0Co than that called for b. the
sum of increase in loans and the net
gain in cash. hence the statement does

HOG MARKET HIGHER
Farmers Pay No Attention to
Prices but Hold.
TOP PRICE WAS $500
Stock of Cured Meat Is Being
Reduced.

The hog market was five cents higher
yesterday. but the price does not seem to
have any effect in the increase of re-
ceipts- The farmers seem determined
to hold their hogs whether the market
goes up or down. The packers are send
ing out large orders of cured meat and
getting few live hogs. Dold loaded eleven
cars yesterday for different parts of the
country. This will mean a scarcity Of
packing house products here in the near
future il the receipts of hogs do not in
crease very soon. There were only two
carloads Of hogs on the market yester-
day of light weight and good quality
went over the scales at s5.60. This was
the highest price paid for hogs on this
market since the recetn rise. The pros
pect for anything like heavy receipts
this week are not very hattering.
