NALL STREET. REVIEW
STEEL AND PENNSYLVANIA SHAPE
 THE SENTIMENT.
Stocks Move Upward with n Compre- hensive Sweep, But Later Spot Illness DeveIops-SOuthern
 Sold for Profits.

New York. Sept. 15.-It Is difficult to apply any news that came to hand to- day as a motive for the active opera ltions which again distinguished the trading in stocks. The market started upward with a comprehensive sweep that resembled yesterdays movement, but 1t became spotty and irregular again in the later trading. The con tinued advance of Pennsylvania and the United States Steel stocks was the most influential factor in shaping sentiment on the general market and was fairly effective in supporting the level of prices in the face of profit taking in some of the stocks which have made previous striking advances. Another source of uneasiness was the marketing of large block of Colorado Fuel, which had the appearance of an order to sell at the market. St. Paul was not helped by its annual showing of record net earnings and Smeltings decreased earn ings for the year resulted in decline for that stock The movement in the cotton carriers was plainly based on the favorable prospects for that crop. but Southern Railway was a marked exception to the movement and con- tinued to be sold to take profits. The full foreign trade sentiment for Au- gust partly offset the unfavorable inn pre- ssion caused by the showing of ex- showing, 1t will be remembered. show ed a shrinkage of $7,689,292 compared with the preceding August. while the total exports show an increase of $3.- .241.624, the inference being the dis crepancy Is made up by growth of manufacturing exports. This Is sup posed to point to increased steel ex- ports. The making up of the call loan rate of per cent. evidently fore shadows a further shrinkage in the bank surplus and was an inference in the growing weakness of the stock market which carried the Grangers and Pacific's and a few of the Eastern stocks point or more below last night and largely reduced the gains else- where. Bankers loans bills also made their appearance In the foreign ex- change market and forced down the sterling rate, suggesting the likely source of relief for any market growth in the demand for money. The stock market closed easy. Bonds were firm Total sales par value, $4555, 900. U. S. bonds unchanged on call.

O. 7. PIERCE 2 CO.'S COTTON LETTER..

(By Pr1vate WirA from GlOort & CIhy.D
 NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 15.-Liverpool more than fully answered all requirements this morning. but finally closed at slight decline. The strength of that market is to a great extent, attributable to the very good business among spinners, many of whom .unhesitatingly committed themselves for the future without fully covering their requirements in raw material by contracts and aret now on account of the poor crop accounts showing much uneasiness. Spots already at high figures gained points on sales of 5000 bales.. while options lost point. Manchester reported cloths quiet and firm, yarns quiet.
 The opening here was very steady. with prices showing an improving tendency; trading. however was on moderate lines. Later realizing of profits caused easier market and lower levels to prevail. The Government census reports showed that of the 1904 growth of cotton 3s0.4l4 bales had been ginned prior to September lst, against l75s7 bales last year and 7,567 ginneries were active up to that date. against 2,176 last year. This report indicates principally the difference in the date of maturity of cent of the amount of the new cotton ginned came into sight by Sept. 1st., sug- gesting that the very fair prices prevailing at that time were not influencing the farm CT to rush his product to market. The weather chart showed very heavy rains in south Texas and cooler weather throughout the belt, forecasts predicted a light frost as probable in the northern sections of North Carolina The spot demand continued good with only a small amount of cotton offer ing Crop reports are generally of an un- favorable tenor and in some instances very inferior. Pending October bureau report, when a better opinion of crop conditions can be formed, we expect to see somewhat CT ratio market with receipts and demand tho TREASURY BALANCES.

WHEN POLLY DUSTS THE ROOM

When Polly dusts the room, my dears,

For books and paers, ink or pen,
Or aught-familiar spider webs

Nor man nor beast count in her

And all the morn what whacks and

Throughout the house resound!

But tiptoes with unnatural mien,

My fern notes,-found by whom?
All orders lost; confusion reigns

When Polly dusts the room, my loves,
Why lear we all so meek
Because, though comforts gone today,
Rewards not far to seek.
There cometh one for whose sweet
sake
Let march forth every broom!
A recompense we trustful wait
When Polly dusts the room.
When Polly dusts the room, my dears,
Oh, never yield to grief!
Be sure the morrow's rose opes fair
Though sere today the leaf.
Outdoors a coming joy l feel;
The tardy wood-fiowers bloom;
All Nature hastes welcome, while

Pin Money in a Small Town.

We lived in the country and thought
there was no way we could make pin
money, but enc day a bright idea
struck us. 1t was to give tea on the
lawn three evenings of the week. SO
many people object to cooking or
fussing over meals, especially in the
afternoons, and nearly everybody was
glad to pay twenty-five cents for their
tea. We used to set small tables I'M
der the trees. and just serve simple
tea, such as salads, berries, thin bread
and butter and cake, tea, cocoa and
lemonade, also icecream. This took
only an hour or so every day, and 1t
payed splendidly.-Home Companion.
