prices during 1902. The leather trade
as rule last year was satisfactory to
tanners of most varieties, although un-
usually high rates for raw material
served to make profits small Shoe
manufacturers i'll New England did not
turn out quite as many shoes as the
year previous, but the failing off in the
east was offset by an increase in the
west, and it is estimated that leather
sales were fully as large. Most vari-
cites of sole and upper showed little
change in prices during the entire year,
the fluctuations ms Il rule not being over
cents per pound ON any kinds. Union
sole sold down to 80 cents last spring,
but stiffened during the summer and
fall up to 30 cents, and in December
dropped again to 33 cents. The demand
for sole leather all of last year was
more active than for upper.
The stock Market.
While In many ways the past year
has been most eventful, Wall street
did not witness the volume Of specula-
ton that made 1901 memorable, nor
were there any of the violent upheav-
ais that marked the course of stock
trading in recent preceding years. Quo
tations established new high water
marks frequently until Sept. 8, after
which there was severe reaction,
with gradually sagging quotations I'M
til the closing week of the year. This
was in sharp contrast to the practical
ly uninterrupted advance during the
closing months of 1901, when the high
est prices ever recorded up to that time
were made at the end, aside from the
spasmodic advance in June. There
was no approach to the highest single
days sales of 3,194.41S shares on April
30, 1901, nor the marvellous weekly ag-
gregate of Is, 721 ,4S0 shares for the
week ending May 8, 1901. These sea-
sons of phenomenal activity were not
even closely Appropriated by the
1,9S4,650 shares on April 81 or the lar
gest weekly total of S,5S0650 shares
for the week ending April "a.
Quotations of railway securities, how
ever, averaged very much higher than
in any preceding year, the lowest price
falling but $2.95 below the top point
of the preceding year, while the high
est average, $116.27, exceeded the top
point of 1901 by $12.29. On the other
hand, the year was conspicuous for the
discrimination against Industrial, gas
and traction properties. Thus ON the
high record day of 1901 the ten lead
ing industrials averaged $74.33, and
the five principal gas and traction is.
sues averaged $144.30, while at the top
point Of 1902 the former averaged only
$65.T1 and the latter $139.35. Toward
the end of the year these stocks fell
off very materially, touching $5726
and $12S85 respectively. Even the
sensational developments as to Man
haitian failed to sustain the city roads,
while United States steel issues weak
ened in the face of steadily main
tanned dividends.

The Pnstor,a opportunitr.

Pastors, keep your Young Peoples
society young and you have solved one
important problem. Don't scoId, but
lead; don't coerce by method either
but inspire them by deepening their
motive. You can make or break your
Young Peoples society. What is
needed today in the average society is
self sacrificing leadership on the part
of pastors No outsider can successful
~ solve your problems save by an oc-
casional suggestion. 1t is your priyi-
lege, your work, your wish, and you
must deal with the subject. You have
no more important opportunity for
service.-John Willis Baer at Mortified

Manners for Musical "At Homes. ,

Don't, when asking any one to sing
or play, casually close the piano while
so doing. 1t is simple act, but one
most discouraging in its effect.
Don't, upon hearing some one con-
sent to perform, throw yourself back
in your chair, after the manner of one
about to have a tooth extracted; and
don't, during the progress of a song,
glare at the carpet, or keep clenching
your hands. Neither should you draw
in a sharp Kissing breath when the
accompanist mislays his fingers.
Don't, when asked to oblige with q
selection, go through your entire roper
toire Even a cornet gets wearisome
If played badly and a great deal.
Don't, when accompanying, try to
cover the defects of the voice by
crashing out big chords of your own
invention, and never, under any cir
cumstances, grind your teeth audibly
during a singers inadvertent wander
ings from the key.
Don't whistle while song is being
rendered. Even if you whistle the
same melody and in similar key, the
effect is irritating to those around you.

Took Toll for Himself.

The provost of the University OF
Pennsylvania, Charles Curtis Harrison,
knew in his boyhood an eccentric old
man named Herbert Ling.
Mr.. Harrison said recently that a
wag once told Ling that if he would
get himself appointed to the Office OF
taking up the collection on Sunday in
the church he would be paid quarter
Sunday, and would also have a tur-
key every Christmas.
Ling accordingly secured the place
of collector, and waited patiently for
Christmas to come around. 1t came,
but the expected turkey did not come
with it. Therefore the old man called
upon the pastor.
He explained his grievance-how he
was to have had the Sunday quarter
and the Christmas turkey-but the
pastor could only smile, and shake his
head, and say:
Herbert, l fear you have been
hoaxed."
Maybe | have, sir" returned the
other, "in. the matter Of the turkey,
but not in the matter of the quarter.
