which the bears in the stock market to-
day had no troubie'ih bringing about gen.
eral declines. rs
These ranged from point to points in
the active list. The losses were about
evenly distributed between the industrial
and railroad stocks -, ,--
The heaviest trading was in steel. At
the opening a block OF $500 shares was re-
ported on the tape from 55A to 54A. This
was decline from 5Gls. yesterdays clos
ing. There was recovery from this low
point to above IS. but throughout the day
the stock was heavy and without much
support.
The bears argued that with such a small
surplus as was shown in the December
quarter. earnings would have to pick up
considerably in order to pay the full divi-
dend on the preferred next April

the country by commission houses, which
refused to accept orders unless they were

Excelsior Pomona GRANGE.

Excelsior Pomona held a very in
spring meeting with New Sharon
Grange. August II. Despite the I'M
pleasant weather there were an even
hundred members present.
The first question for discussion was:
as vacation in Grange work for the
good of the Order" The prevailing
opinion seemed to be that it was not.
The doors were opened to the public
during the literary exercises, which
consisted of singing by the choir;
greeting by the Rev. George A. Merrill;
response by Worthy Overseer J. A..
Collins; recitation by Miss Harding,
who responded to an enthusiastic en-
core. The Worthy Pomona, Belle
Collins, gave an interesting paper on
"Vacation for the Farmer and his
Family" song by Angie Baker; the
question, "HOw can the Agricultural
Fair and Pomona Grange help each
other" was talked up by Will F.
Allan Jedediah Adams, H. H. Adams,
Herman Corbett, r. B. Parsons, o. F.
Jones, P. E. Kinds, E. N. kyes and
Persis Adams. Can't tell You all they
said-you should have been there; solo
by Mrs. Gray; reading by the Rev. Geo.
A. Merrill; music by the choir. Miss
Harding kindly consented to give
another recitation, which was loudly
applauded; Bro. "Sam" York told us
of the agricultural fairs when he was
young, said the first moving machine
he ever saw had but one wheel. The
Rev. Mr.. Purinton of Mt. Vernon being
called upon talked a few moments, al
so the Rev. Mr.. Remick.
