LITTLE SERMONS. NO. IS.
BY UNCLE JAY BEE.

ITO be good?" is't happiness?
O! l would that all happiness
Were being good!
True happiness has, indeed, its root
in good; but there is false article with
which so many souls are satisfied.
The world really wants to be happy;
and did men but know how to get it,
there is really joy enough in earth, and
all the things in heaven are full of hap
piness. Strange any living man should
fail to find his share. In every rain
drop; in every flower; in every culver
ing leaf; in the sparkling brook; in the
whispering breeze; in the songs of the
birds, is happiness. Strange that men
with eyes and ears should fail to see
and hear and feel the happiness which
fills the world!
And men want to be happy; that is
what we all are hunting But do all
find it? If so, why so many sour faces?
Why so many snarly, snappy words?
Are any happy? A few, and they show
it. Are many miserable? Yes, many,
and they show it toe
Now | believe men were made to be
happy, and that enough gladness was
put into the world, and into the beauti-
full things around us, to fill US all with
joy. Why, then, are any sad? Why do
men seek JOY and not find? They hunt
in the wrong places; they do not know
how to get the happiness out of the
things that God has filed Herewith.
There goes a young man Of twenty
five. Twenty years ago l saw him chas-
ing the butterflies over the green sward,
his hands full of bright, fresh flowers,
and the sunshine flooding all. How hap
Ply the child IN his innocence and good
ness, See his dark face now, as he
seeks the shadows and hunts for happi-
ness in the flowing bowl and den of vice.
The child was wise; the man is foolish:
the child was happy; the man is miser-
able. So it is with the maid who for
sakes the paths of purity; so with the
man who sets his feet in devious ways.
To the evil is misery:
The good are the happy,
Happy the heart where graces
reign,
Where love inspires the breast;

The estimates of the movement to the in- terior by express on balance differ wide ly, making the estimates of the net loss of cash vary all the way from $7O00,0 ,000 to considerably over $10,000,000 AS the sur plus reserves of the banks last week stood at only a little over $b.000,000 it is clear that the maintenance of it's in- tegrity depends on the extent to which by the sealing down of loans. Some of the heaviest lending in the market to- day was by banks which called large loans earlier in the week. Some of the loans thus called were supposed at the time to be of Japanese funds on deposit here, which were being called in for re- mittanee to Japan. It was conjectured that the high rate to which money had risen induced the replacement of some of these funds today. There was con tinued resort also to the foreign exchange market under which prices for bills in that market made further wide declines, and increased the likelihood of gold nov ing to New York. A small engagement was reported late today, and 1t was re- ported that local bankers expected to secure gold to arrive in London on Mon day. The rate of discount hardened in London today, and the price of gold was marked up In that market.
 As the coal conference was adjourned for the day, that factor was without much influence on the market. Published estimates of the condition on April 1 of the winter wheat crop showing a high ly favorable situation, were a helpful influence. Demand for stocks following the running off In the money rate was attributed largely to professional short account, but earlier losses were general ly. recovered and a number of one-point gains were established
 Pennsylvania's gain reached nearly 2 points. The money rate fell as low as { per cent and closed at 15 per cent. The closing tone of stocks was steady but very dull.
 Bonds was heavy. Total sales, par value, S3, GOO United States bonds, unchanged on call.

PRICES EASE OFF IN COTTON MARKET Close Was Quiet at a Small

 Was Very ouiet-spot
 Sales Smaller.

New York, April 6.-The cotton market was very quiet during today's session and prices eased off in the absence of snp- port The close was quiet at a net de- cline Of points. Sales of the day were estimated at only 751oo bales.
 The market opened steady but at a decline of to points in response to dis appointing cables. Prices worked up a point or two immediately after the call on covering but soon eased off again and during the middle session the market was very dull and irregular with a narrow range active months ruling about to ' points net lower. Toward the close of- ferings increased owing to reports that the leading New Orleans authorities had revised the average weight of bales as of December 31, raising 1t to BIT II pounds against bl9.75 pounds, the average weight reported at the same date last year which or course was heavier than the average weight of bales for the season as a whole The market closed within point or so of the lowest. The weather south continued somewhat unsettled, but the precipitation reported was light and conditions as a whole were seasonable. Private cables from Liverpool were rather bearish but the market there was very quiet and spot sales were smaller, 10000. Southern spot markets were unchanged to hc higher with fair sales at Savannah

Scaiping on the short side and evident
 weariness after yesterdays strenuous
 market were about the only eatures of
 Liverpool. A decline of poits at the
 close of options was recorded, bot sales 10000 bales.
 The New Orleans market was eSeeding- , 1y dull and unjnteresting. The snail vol
 ume of business put through, in all likeli-
 hood could be traced to the liquidation
 of omen contracts Neither side disilayed sufficient aggressiveness to cause more than the narrowest of fluctuations. Spots were quiet with little demand on \the part of buyers.
 The stagnation of today's market is df- fcult to explain, unless it is that, lle the Liverpool market the American rings exhausted their energies yesterday. Tff
 weather is still unsettled over TexaA
 with here and there rains, which, while ol no damaging extent are nevertheless
 causing delay in planting.
 The into-sight figures for the week art
 1l20o0 bales under those of last year. Bu' at the same time show an increase of 5000 bales over the week before. The complete indifference with which the trade views these figures. leaves but little doubt that the prevailing disnterestedness in affairs generally will continue nntil after the Easter holidays, unless in the mean time there is some change in the weath- CT of sufficient importance IS to cause 2 renewal of sseressiveness on one side or the other,

The cotton market, during the week has been extremely irregular and un- certain.
 Owing to the efforts being made to ad- vance the near positions, trading has not been on an active scale and the uncertain ty of the outcome has led 10 withdrawal of a great many traders from the old crop positions. It Is generally recognized that those at present operating In favor or higher prices have as foundation or their operations, a strong spot market in tho south and a good trade and liberal consumption, the world over.

New York, April 6.-Money on call touched S1 per cent on the stock ex- change today. thus keeping up the tend enoy of g. progressive rise in the maxi mum for each day of this week. The ex- cess over yesterdays 30 per cent rate, however, as is seen, was only nominal. The severest stringency of the day was over before the period at which the fur ". had occurred on previous days of the week. This was due in large part to the fact that necessitous borrowers were prompt to supply their needs rather than wait until late in the day, in fear that the rates by that time would be higher than yesterday, and the supply of avail able funds reduced to narrow propor- tons
 The late furry heretofore has been largely due 10 this class of borrowers, and the quality of their collateral has also played an important part Cases are re- lated whore loans have been arranged, but the collateral when presented held to be unsatisfactory, thus compelling the borrowers to make what terms they could late in the day. The forehandedness of borrowers today covered the requirements while there was still plenty of time to make arrangements. The consequence was sharp relapse in rates in the latter part of the day when borrowers needs were supplied, and a remnant of funds left on hand unplaced Stocks came more freely in the market early today than at any time this week, the early flight in the cali loan rate arousing apprehension of still severer conditions before the close.
