WISE GIRL-Now, there was a GER
tain girl and she had three wooers
The first wooer said she was the whole
world to him, but she frOwned upon his
suit. The second wooer said she was
the sun, moon and stars to him, but
she bade him be on his way.
ITO me-" said the third, you are a
young woman of agreeable manners
with eyes that might be little bluer
with nose that is a wee bit puggy,
and with a few freckles, and an annoy

She married the third wooer. Being
pressed for an explanation of her con-

before marriage, instead of waiting to
throw them up to me afterward. Life,

No NEED TO Be JEADoUs.-Senator
Depew tells of conversation between
two men of his acquaintance. one of
whom is the husband of an exception
ally handsome woman.
1t appears that one evening after
dinner the second man remarked to the
proud husband at a moment when the
beauty's attention was given elsewhere,
"Old man, your wife is such a beauti-
full creature that | wonder you are
not jealous of her"

BILLS CHANcE.-The daily grind of
toll blunts the finer feelings; but for
the sake of humanity 1t Is to be hoped
that this grimly humorous story from
Memories Of Half Century" cites an
exceptional case Of callousness:
A Yorkshire doctor was summoned to
a man whose case he could only pro-
nounce not hopeless. He gave instruc-
tions as to the medicines that would
at least give relief, and said that he
would observe the result on his next
visit. The wife Of the sick man in
quired, quite properly, about what the
charge would be, and If 1t included the
medicine.
NO" replied the physician; that
you must buy at the chemists"

Yes, certainly"

manded. Dee like a mon; never wear

31 During his term as governor of
Mexico the late General Lew Wallace
shipped home to Indiana a carload
Of curios. The collection included a
Mexican burro intended for a neigh
bOr's child as a pet. When the car
reached its destination the freight
agent misunderstood the word burrO
and thinking that ii was a phonetic
attempt to spell bureau" was unable
to find any piece of furniture To fit
the bill of lading. So according to
custom i'm the matter of irregularities,
he telegraphed to the shipping point:
Car 3S,492. Albuquerque, consigned
Wallace. arrived minus one bureau,
plus one jackass. Please trace and
notify" General Wallace himself
dictated the reply. Change places
with the jackass.'

Loveman G Co.'S Market Letter.

The July position in this market pre- sented unmistakable evidence of manip- ulation today Early in the day. prices on July for some mysterious reason, weakened, and a good many weak longs, becoming alarmed at the apparently downward tendency, closed out July sell ling as low as 109S. As soon as the weak long interests had been disposed of, the market immediately began to improve and offerings of July contracts became almost as scarce as the proverbial hen s teeth. Brokers who received buying or ders in July found the greatest diff culty in executing them, and could only do so by putting the market up several points at time When the market reached the level of Il. 20 for July there was more cotton offering and prices eased off slightly. Later, however, offerings again diminished and the execution of a few more buying orders carried prices as high as II 20 for July. As this level was reached, there was some profit taking by scalpers on the long side, and prices sank back to a slightly lower level. While all these capers were going on in July the new crop months ruled steady, with comparatively few fluctuations.
 Spots were officially reported quiet and unchanged Sales amounted to $50 bales of spots and 400 bales to arrive.

COTTON MARKET
 IS MORE ACTIVE Close Was Steady at a Small
 Net Advance BEAR PRESSURE EARLY Market In Late Trading Was Very Firm on Covering of Shorts, With the Close at the Best of
 the Session.

New York, June 1.-The cotton market was a little more active today and ruled steadier on covering of shorts with the close very steady at net advance of 54S points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of l point to a decline of point which was just about as due on the cables. Right after the opening there was a renewal of the bear pressure noted yes- terday and prices eased off to a net de- cline of about 3d5 points, which carried the market within points or so of the lowest level of last week. Local pro- fessionals were rather aggressive sellers on the decline with the idea probably that a break into new low ground would un- cover stop loss orders, but offerings de- creased as the prices worked down and around 1929 for October. there was in creased support from scattering shorts and little buying for a turn on which prices rallied to a net advance of 3d5 points. The market eased off again in the early afternoon under bear pressure and Wall street selling following a weak spot in the stock market but these offerings were we'll absorbed around the closing prices of yesterday and the market in the late trading was very firm on cover ing of shorts, with the close at the best point of the session.
 Receipts at the ports today 54S9 bales, against 6O11 last week and 11,951 last year. For the week estimated, 65,OOO bales. against 55,170 last week and SO366 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 23s3 bales, against 2949 last year and at Houston 739 bales, against 3S37 last year.

SHARP BREAK IN
 THE STOCK MARKET Government Crop Report DiS- appointing to Spectators CANNOT DISPOSE OF STOCKS Formation of Well Organized Bear Party Was to Be Perceived In
 Actions of the Market
 Yesterday.

New York. June 14.-The sharp break in todays stock market was the natural consequence of the market conditions for several days past. The feature of the government crop report issued on Monday sustaining prices evidently proved great disappointment to the speculative opera tons for the advance. The decline since then has brought a realizing sense of the difficulties of securing profits in the present market. Previous success in ad- vancing prices served to obscure the mar row limits of the market.
 So long selling was withheld and the professional element were agreed in buy ing stocks, the rise in prices was not difficult to account for. But the events of the week have awakened the conductors of the campaign to the difficulty of dis posing of their stocks at the higher level to which prices have been pushed. Dis couragement over this condition undoubt- edy prompted a good deal of selling in todays market The formation of a well organized bear party was also to be per ceived in the action of the market and in the attacks on some of the stocks made vulnerable by undue manipulation of late. Rumors were very busy with the supposed identity of the leaders of the new bear campaign and the formidable prestige at tached to some of the names used by reason of the smashing success of his torical campaigns in the past made these rumors an evil potent to the less confident holders of long stock Amongst the ranks of these were some influential market or ganizations which had accumulated spe- cial stocks into pool holding. That there was extensive unloading of such pool holdings today was the current belie1 Reports in some cases had it that the

selling of this class was due to the ap- preaching expiration of the date or pools. Actual news bearing on values was scant, and the market was affected almost alto gether by technical causes. In the grain markets the coarse grains were the sub ject of some bullish speculation which affected the small grains to some extent in sympathy. Neither the grain nor the cotton market offered any supporting factors of stocks. but neither was there anything in the crop news to account for the days weakness Iron trade authori- ties reported some increasing demand for pig iron, but these reports are powerless to offset the influence of the steady sup ply of United States Steel stocks, which Is fed into the market on every oppor- tunity.
 The violent reaction in the price of copper in London may have been an aggravating factor in the special weak ness of Amalgamated Copper, and the fall in this stock was of large senti- mental effect on the whole list The same was true of Reading, owing to the large place held by that stock in the recent speculation Baltimore and Ohio was the only effective points of Tesstence in the whole market. It's advance was as- sociated with the policy disclosed yes- terday by the Pennsylvania railroad au- thorities in raising dividends on sub sidary stocks. But Baltimore and Ohio has had its recent dividend Increase and failed to derive benefit from it, owing to the concurrent issue of stock. The falling off In domestic exports for May due to the large decline in the value of cotton sent abroad, was not a favorable fac tor owing to the reliance placed on for eign money sources for relief from strain the coming season. The treasury depart ments call for return of s10,00O.0O0 on deposit with national banks on July l was felt to complicate the money out look On July 1 falls due the requirement for the second installment for increase in trust company reserve made obliga- tory by the new state law. It was esti- mated that this will call for SIP, 100000 ad- ditional to the cash now held by the New York companies. The violence of the raid on Reading in the last hour caused the decline to overrun itself. and the scramble to cover amongst shorts induced spasmodic rallies.
 The closing, however, was feverish and unsettled.
