STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Jan le-The scant orders
to buy stocks which were found in brok-
ers offices this morning confirmed the
impression of the Indifference Of the pub
lie to the present stock market In peri
DDS OF active speculation the Monday
morning market is the most animated OF
the week. as result OF the Intervening
period of idleEess and accumulation OF
mail orders and also because OF the nat
urai tendency 70 enter upon new activi-
ties with the turn OF a week While to-
days opening declines failed TO show
any buying demand from outside sources
there was no easerness TO sell stocks.
The consequence was the same lsstless
and indeJeruinate movement that was
increasingly manifest last week The
speculative pools oisa desisted from ac-
tivity. since last weeks transactions had
pretty well demonstrated the futility OF
their efforts to create a general demand
for stocks The Saturday bank state
ment. while favorable OF its face. gave
evidence OF the requirements upon the
money market resulting from the deal
and was accepted as a warning that the
resources or the money market. as they
drawn upon by syndicates for the push
Ing of projects held in allowance The
realization of these deferred projects
overhanging the market had a depress-
ing influence. in contrast 10 their highly
stimulating influence a few months ago.
This prospect OF syndicate requirements
for money was enforced in its influence
by somewhat frner tone in the money
market and an advance in sterling ex-
change toward the gold export point
The rise in sterling at Paris served TO
neutralizs the advance here. but the con-
viction is general that an outward move
ment of gold this winter is probable The
announcement OF the term OF the coming
Transvaal loan and the probable re-
quirements of the Panama canal pur-
chase are confirrnatory of this view. OF
immediate developments the reports of
car shortage and inability to move
freight offered was not favorable iniu-
ence. The resulting delay IN the grain
movement is likely to affect the return
flow OF currency.
The shutting down OF work on account
OF coal shortage was also accepted as
unfavorable. Secretary Shaws order re-
curing the resubstitution OF government
bonds for other securities deposited
against government deposits was regard
ed as making necessary a contraction in
note circulation by the banks.
. Amalgamated Copper was affected by
a surmise Of new steps OF contending In
terests in the copper trade. The rise In
Great Northern preferred was supposed
TO be connected with the return 10 the

The roses bloom in the garden,
The bee comes wooing the flowers,
The song bird pipes to his nestmate
Through all the golden hours,
The breeze is freighted with fragrance
From forest and field and lea,
But youth has fed, and hope lies dead.
So what are they all to meg
The bluebird rocks in the treetops.
Free as the summer air.
Swings and sways and MARBLES.
With never hutter of care.
Memories never haunt him;
No thought OF the morrow has he,
But the guarded wall. like a somber pail,
O. ershadows Il all for me.

And gaze on the evening sky.
On the glorious sunset banners
That athwart the hilltops lie.
TIL the diamond eyes OF heaven
Look down on the bond and the free,
But ] see the stars through the prison
bars.
So what are they all TO me?
All the flowers have lost their perfume,
The summer breeze is chill
The bees are naught but gluttons.
And harsh the song birds trill.
For the mighty voices OF nature,
OF earth OF heaven. Of sea,
Have nausht Of cheer for the prisoner

What--what are they all to me?
