When Mabel squeezes in a waist
That buttons down the back,
And then cries out. in pleading tones;
Come here and help me, Jack,
I sigh for those delicious days
Those days when I was free
And Mabel never pleaded to
BE buttoned up by me-
All. what a privilege would I
Have deemed it then to hear
Her cry: Come, please, and help me with
These dreadful buttons dear
How gladly would I then have gone
And given her smack
For each delightful button down
The row upon her back
But things. somehow. don't thrill me now
AS once they might have thrilled;
And oh, the waists that Mabel wears
Are always amply Hledi
Ny temper's warped. my thumbs are sore,
Ny fingers ache, alacki
COnfound those awkward, foolish waists
That button down the back

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 9-Desultory profess
sional trading was all that was in evi
dence in today's stock market. The tone
was heavy throughout and traders pro-
fessed considerable apprehension over
the outcome of the situation in Man
churia The bank statement was also a
disappointment as the gain in the cash
reserves was only about half the amount
expected from the reports from the
known movements of money Another
loan increase of over $4,000, 900 was
ascribed to the continued transfer of
debts from foreign to domestic lenders,
which has kept up the rate of exchange
during the week to near the gold ex
port point The question of an outgo
of gold next week is left open, as money
and discounts were firm today in Lon
don and the exchange market kept Il
firm tone in spite of the dullness incident
to the Saturday market. The special
heaviness was shown by such speculative
leaders as st. Paul, Southern Pacific,
Atehison, Missouri Pacific, New York
Central and Amalgamated Copper and
was attributed to operations by a bear
faction, which was designed to influence
sentiment in the general market. The
selling of Rock Island was accompanied
by surmises as to the effect on the mark
ct of the additional issue of stock in
volved in the st. Louis and San Francisco
acquisition. A point decline in Metro
nolitan Securities tended to aggravate
the depression to some extent. There
was no perceptible recuperative power In
the market, and the closing was easy
at about the lowest. There was some
selling of bonds as we'll, which made
that department easy.
The tone of the bond market is rather
better than that for stocks and shows

New York. May 9-The market today
was a repetition of that which has obtained
for several days past, with tie exception
of considerable pyramid buying by traders,
who were fortunate enough to get on the
long side of the market early in the week.
There are large lines of cotton now being
carried on the long side on slender mar.
gins, and if anything should happen to
cause a setback, enormous blocks of con
tracts will be thrown on the market on
stop loss orders, so that the situation from
bullish point of view is more dangerous
than it has been for many weeks The
short interest has been almost entirely COW
cred up and with the traders on the long
side of July and August, the situation is
not inviting to one who wants to buy cot
ton. Meanwhile, however it should be
constantly kept in mind that October and
December cotton are considerably below
nine cents and further that II 900, 900 bales
of cotton have been absorbed this year at
anfaverage price of over nine cents. so that
there is no reason to advocate sales in Oc-
tober and December. On the other hand
there is every reason why these options
should be bought at present prices.

that when the movement In this direction

that the old local bull party Is constant
