started TO bid up prices in an exceedingly
cautious manner They demonstrated TO
their satisfac tion that stock was for sale
at the higher level. So they gave up the
attempt to lift the market When they
attempted to sell they found a very lI9nt
demand and a yielding market. during
the last hour today. there was spll.ng
out of long stock by tired holde.s grown
Disguised with the lethargy of the mar.
kct This selling movement was not OF
large volume but ii was still in progress
when the market closed making 1t weak
and at about the lowest. The rather
brighter view of things, this morning, was
due principally to the tone of the week
lv review of the iron trade by leading
authority in that trade. Its STATISTICS

on at q tremendous rate. AprilS hlgl rec

reported during the day and the unstable
condition in the ,inen market had It's in
fluence in the lafe break in prices. This

of the labor difficulty on the Great North

1t is evident that the Lowell strikers
are not going to gain much as long as
the cotton market is such that it actu
closed. The owners are not the ones
to tire and yield under such conditions.
And. by the way, about the meanest
fraud reported of late in the papers is
that being carried on by swindlers in
the West who are pocketing money
Lowell strikers. There is no reason to
believe that the money collected in this
city failed to reach the strikers for
whom it was so generously contributed.

The season of forest fires is with us
again and for months to come the
newspapers will tie forced to chronicle
the unhappytdetails of a destruction in
our forests which is usually as needless
as it is dcplorable. Burned woodland
cannot be restored in a generation, and
yet no kind of property is so little pro-
tected against fire. There has been
much Legislation in recent years to
prevent forest fires, both in our State
and in others, and no doubt it has done
good, but these fires continue to be
numerous and destructive. 1t is one OF
the biggest and most practical problems
of forestry, and no doubt the next
generatiom will look back upon us with
shame for: our negligence and pity for
our ignore nee in handling such mat
ters.

Richard Henry Stoddard.

The death of Richard Henry Stoddard
real poets, and the list of the sur
yiyers is short. His lifelong friend
Clarence Stedman remains behind, the
first of many mourners. Though his
life was closely identified with New
York he was product of New Eng
land, his birthplace being bingham,
Mass, and his parentage good old
Puritan stock. For 25 years he has
been literary editor of the New York
Mail and Express and for 10 years be-
fore that he was similarly connected
with the World. He has published
many works in both prose and verse,
and along many lines. For the past
decade he has been practically blind.
Mrs. Stoddard. who has died within a
year, was also an author of much note.
Their home life was ideal and for half
century it was one of the literary
shrines of America. Their son, Lori
mer stoddard, the brilliant young
playwright, died few years ago. 1t
was through the influence of Nathaniel
Hawthorne that Mr.. Stoddard secured
a place in the custom house when
he went to New York as young
man, which he held for IL years,
until fame and success had been
won by his pen. One of the most ven
cradle and respected of the country
literary figures is gone.
