LOVE AND LIFE.

BY Henry Timrod.
Most men know love but as a part of life:

Wherewith the world might else be not
so rife,
They draw it forth Gas one draws forth

And hold it up to sister child OF wife.

Why walk we thus alone, when by our

Worn like dunseon-hoor by weary feet.

The Stock Market.

Henry Clews in his Wall street letter of
Saturdays date says:
1T is perhaps not sufficiently realized
how great the decline in stocks has been.
Since the high price Of 1905 many of the
active shares have declined from 80 to
so points. This is a tremendous shrink
age. amounting to probably one thous-
and millions That such a contraction
could take place without involving a sim
gle failure worth noting is remarkable
testimony of the inherent strength of
our financial situation. 1t perhaps can
no longer be said that stocks are unduly
high so long as industrial and commercial
activity continues at its present level. Sc
curities have certainly receded to a more
natural level, and liquidation, if continued
should follow in other quarters where
no recession has yet taken place after
abnormally high prices. Speculation in
real estate is still going on at a threat
ening pace, which cannot be indefinitely
continued.
Many commodities, especially those in
the metallic industries, are also selling
too high for stability and reactions would
be beneficial, Prices all round, costs of
living, wages, etc, are too high. Per-
haps such reaction may not be long post
poned. and Wall street, with its usual
foresight, is discounting some of these
movements. The Standard Oil investiga-
tion was another shock. and the proof of
railroad collision is likely to stimulate
the demand for government railroad reg
ulation. 1t is quite safe to assert that
the condition of the market has been
vastly improved by recent REIMBURSEMENT.
and that many securities are now selling
at level offering reasonable inducements
to careful investors. Purchases on the
margin, however. will have to be conduct
ed conservatvely. The market is still
exposed to shocks and will not soon fully
recover from recent blows. Besides, the
monetary outlook, while improved is not
entirely free from danger and the future
of business generally depends largely up
on our having another good harvest"
