ing.

ton, and positively refuses to sell even

traders insist that from present fig
ures, that the staple is bound to go
upwards, notwithstanding yesterdays
slump. They argue that the slight re-
ceipts are bound to give the market a
final boost"
Yesterdays break was in response to
Liverpool as the cables were extreme
ly disappointing.
The market opened weak at a de-
cline of from Is to % points brought
about by room selling, and liquidation.
Then, there were rumors of a bear
clique, and this, added to the general
trend of the market, sent prices down.

both Galveston and Houston to-day.

F., columbine shook out their bells, and.
lower down, from beds of many colored
moss the late wind flower and maiden
hair and tiny violet lifted up brave,
sweet faces. And through the canyon
the Little Swan sang its song to rocks
and flowers and overhanging trees, a
song of many tones, deep booming
where it took it's first sheer plunge, gay
chattering where 1t threw itself down
where it fingered about the roots of the
loving, listening elms. A cool, sweet,
soothing place it was, with all its
shades and sounds and silences, and.
Hest it should be sad to any, the sharp,
quick sunbeamS danced and laughed
down through all its leaves upon moss

tricked out with moss and trailing
vines, the great ems ana low, green
cedars, the oaks and shivering pop

their MOSES.

with touch so light us not to shake
the morning dew from bell or leaf or
frond, and with a voice so soft and
full Of music as to fill our hearts with
the canyons mingling sounds. and as

lifted from her heart.
