Never g. Kiser's Telegram.l

NEW YORK, May 12.-The market opened
strong and ruled firm the better part of the
day, but toward the close the steel stocks
became heavy on a report from Pfttsburg
that there had been a reduction in the price
Of steel billets. Then Pennsylvania was
raided by Dick Brothers and number Of
bears, who found the stock vulnerable ow-
ing to the large quantity of rights being
offered in the market. Still later the report
was circulated that the Great Northern men
would go out tomorrow morning. This
caused very unsettled feeling and selling
became general, causing the market to close
weak at about the lowest price of the day.

ALBERT R. Thompson & Co.'s telegram
NEW YORK, May 12.-Continued selling
of Pennsylvania and break in the price
of steel billets unsettled the market in the
last hour and upset the calculations Of
several small bull pools. Sentiment. which
during most OF the day favored improve
ment, changed at the close and seemed to
favor lower prices tomorrow.

These persons. or their prototypes youll very
likely note:
There's the gentleman who, hcrmitllkc. dimes

The lady OF uncertain years, who's laid upon the
shelf
They sit at separate ables although approximate
And there really seems no reason why they shouldn't
join their fate
The Beau Brummel. who's elderly, with spouse just
half his age,
Who wishes very fervently to quit the glded cage
Some artists. who Will talk and talk unlnterestng

And who will have to be content to morrow with
chop
Some chorus girls with dresses tha, you might well
infer
Could not possibly be- hough, fifteen dollars per-
Then you're sure to see some brokers In spot!esS
evening dress,
Who II the food is bull or bear don't care or
give a guess
The girl who doesn't ca, Bit, but juss picks at
her food,
The parvenu, who loves TO ape bis social brother
hood,
And then you're bound to come across the gour-
mand and gourmet,
The man. who sure to make Joke on "parlez .vous
Francals""
TIL irasciblc old gentleman, who likes Just this and
that.
And says that he will have them" and so-well.
NTbum sat.
The invalid. who S suffering from dyspepsia or the
grip,
He abuses all the walters and never gives tip
The man who gulps his coffee down and eats peas
with his knife.
The young and gay Lotharlo. who thinks he's seeing

And hundred Other specimens. whose appcttcs
denote
That they never arc 50 HAPPY as ., a table d'hotc.
