NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.
Now York. ,InlY

New 1plh, july :.
Professional traders made another un-
of activity in the stock market. today.
During the early market the rate of ac
tivity was equal to the expanded deal
ings of the latter part of yesterday. But
the subsequent relapse was into such u
complete stagnation that the total deal
ings for the day dropped back to about
the low record level for the year. In the
light of this mornings developments,
Yesterdays late drive at United States
Steel stocks seemed to have no other
purpose than to provide n better vantage
ground for an upward start. The state
ment of the corporations earnings for the
quarter just passed with it's decrease Of,
over $1,200,000 from the corresponding
quarter of last year was no worse than
had been expected and the slight increase
reported in the June estimated earnings
compared with June earnings of last year
was regarded az n favorable feature. The
common and preferred stocks were lifted
about n point on the score of this show
and Missouri Pacific were the only stocks
to gain az much as this. The further en-
@agement of $1,j00,000 gold for export and
the early sharp rally in the cotton mar
kct seemed to have no effect in checking
the rise in stocks. 1t was after cotton
had reacted that the unresponsvcnesS of
the stock market to the stimulation of
light professional buying was received.
Prices thercupon Sagged off and the
whole market fell back into its rut of
stagnation. Active railroad bonds Were
sues are settling to a lower price basis.
Total sales, par value $1.115,000. United
States bonds were all unchanged on the
last call.

A MAGIC City of the South.

sSte commonly think of the West as
the section of the country where new
cities spring up in an incredibly short
spaee of time. Occasionally we feel
Inclined TO boast that this sort of thing
also happens nearer home. and point
with pride to those young metropolises
on the upper waters of the Androscog-
gin, 'Kennebec and Penobscot rivers
which the pulp industry has given
birth to. But few of us here in New
England realize that the South also
has its magic cities. The 18th ami
versary edition of the Huntington
News. of which copy has just reached
this office, does much to correct this
impression. 1t tells I'm most interest
ing manner, by special articles and
many illustrations, the wonderful
story of Bennington, Alabama.
Thirty-two years ago, almost a
decade after the Civil War. this city
had neither house nor inhabitant.
Now 1t has population of almost 100,-
O00 and it's furnaces for the past five
years have made the price of Dig iron
throughout the world. Dixie land Is
no longer merely the land of cotton. In
sections of it. notably in Alabama,
great industrial strides have been taken
forward. It's cotton mills are worrying
the great manufacturing centers of
New England, and it's place in the
statement above. Birmington is a
typical product of the new South.

Who Talks Too Much?

DO women as n class talk too much?
Can women as n class talk too much?
What is too much?" What is the stand
ard of speech. the exact measure of per
mssablc talk that never Stops over into
loduacity? If women talk too much, who
talks just enough. Not the men. To bc
sure, there are great silent men, like
Mr.. Roosevelt, but the mass Of mon is as
garrulouS as a guinea fowl. Tho old
principle of sex taboo Stil holds good in
so far as men most habitually associate
with and talk to men, women with Wo-
men. There are no exact figures or rec
ordS to be obtained and few pronOGraPhS
to appeal to on the subject; but we are
confident that the tall! output OF the men
as Il class exceeds that of the women.
Not content with the everlasting dlibhlc
and blbble of their private hours, men
inllict themselves upon the public and
yell from the stump; the platform and
ing. Most of the public oratory comes
from the brooches Wrarcrs From the
senate to the humble st little district
school where the village sage makes "a
few remarks to the children" whcrc are
you safe from the ineradIcablC instinct OF
man to rejoice in his own voice? You
take an ocean voyage for rest and Mr.
Dcpcw is sure to he aboard and on his
legs.
Is to ordinary talk think of this fact.
fatal to male pretentions of suDoriority.
Most men talk shop drearily ana inter
minably. They have the curiosity of their
arboreaI ancestor. They love gossip as
n hawk loves chicks. And yet they sup
pose themselves to be rcticent and speak
with induigent superiority of the chatter
of the other sex. SO Carlyle, 'the
stormy sophist with his mouth of thun-
der" celebrated the Eternal SilcnceS In
thirty odd octave volumes. And Thomas,
was 4 sage, just about as sage. us. the
rest of us.
With the highest respect to Mrs Coul-
tier we are compelled to deny icatogoi'-
caIly her theory that women talk too
much They don't talk nearly rs much
as men. They usually talk greater
many diametcrs better than men.-New

The President and His Critics.

David b. Hill, to whom the popular
ity of President Roosevelt with the
American people, has always been pc
culiarly calling, takes occasion to
snort defiance at our Chief Executive
in a Fourth of July letter to Tammany
Hall. It is well. If it were not for
these occasional walls from the tomb
the voters of this country would GER
tainly forget that such man az David
B. Hill ever fitted across the politi-
cal horizon. 1t would be hard to con-
character than is illustrated by David
b. Hill and President Roosevelt. Hill
cold, clammy, selfish, evasive, and
mole-like in his political meth
ods stands as a representative
of machine politics.; Roosevelt, full
Of generous impulse and frank
ly outspoken, a warm-hearted, hon
est, and earnest leader of men,
taking his ,countrymen into his conf
dence. and winning both their conf
dence and respect. His Fourth of
July utterances are addressed to the
American people, and not to Tam
many Hall, and the people are glad to
listen to them. This Is what provokes
men Of the David Is. Hill stripe. So
far az the President is concerned their
petty jibes and jeers are wasted. They
might as well blow in the face OF a
whirlwind, as to try to stem the cur
r6nt of his popularity.

A Bangor News correspondent says
that +. C. Work of Plymouth picked
his first mess of green peas on June
%, and then adds as an afterthought,
and as If it We're the commOnest thing
in the world, that Mr.. Work has ten
acres into peas which will be ready
for the picking right away. OF course.
the above information doesn't mean
much to those who dwell in the city
and buy their green peas from the
market, but to every boy or girl or man
or woman who has lived in the coun-
try and has picked green peas from
the vines on a cold summer morning
when the dew was heavy on the grass
and sleep was heavy on the eyelids--
to all such people the picking of ten
acres of peas looms up in its real pro-
portion, and all the care and bother
and sore fingers and backaches and
heartaches attending the process be-
come plain to view and the mind re-
coils with horror at the task. Did any
one ever stop to count the number of
pods in peck of peas? We do not
know how many there are, but their
name is legion, and to pick them is not
such job as we should select for those
whom we love. Under ordinary condi-
tons, the man who can pick peck Of
pea pods in an average field in twenty
minutes is doing good work. Now
stop to think that there are fully
thirty bushels of pea pods to every
acre, each bushel holding four full
pecks. Then imagine those 120 pecks
of peas multiplied by ten, imagine the
stopping and bending and pulling and
hauling, and the care and pain and
worry that must be endured and gone
through with to pick all those 1900
pecks of peas-focus the mind upon
this for a moment and consider Wheth-
er the life of q farmer is all play.
