Hotel Counter Sarcasm.

Some sharp pieces of sarcasm fash
across the hotel counters at times.
The other night an unkempt individ-

appearance did not prove at all salts

have TO ask you 10 settle in advance,
said the clerk. But you see we don't
know you" The response of the ar
rival was cool. What difference does
that make?" why, so many swim
dlers have done US lately, you see"
"Oh, / thought there was professional
courtesy among swindlers." And he

NEW YORK LETTER.


Ney York. June 20-Another dull.
lifeless stock market. Each day be-
comes little duller than the previous
one. The market today did not furn-
ish feature worthy OF note. The same
narrow range Of fluctuations in Union
Pacific, Reading, Copper, Shelters and
St. Paul
The vice president of the Reading
company was quoted as saying today
that the company would pay the reg
ular dividend upon August l. This
caused a little selling by the profess
sionaI element which was purely senti-
mental and did not reflect any inherent
weakness in the stock. Reading de
clined from 101 to 994 without attract
ing any especial weakness in any other
quarter Union Pacific declined from
1873 to 1919 caused mostly by scattered
selling which was induced from a de-
sire to even up their contracts over
night than any technical change in the
general situation.
Another decline Of ne-quarter of a
cent per pound in the price of copper
upon the metal exchange here and a
slight decline in London caused a
weak undertone to Amalgamated Cop
per and Anaconda. Trade conditions in
the copper world are reported very
much unsettled and further declines in
the metal market are more probable.
Speculation IN stocks is, however, prac-
tically at standstil. 1t makes no
difference whether the news is favor
able or otherwise, prices do not sway
very far either way.
The market closed duh and sluggish.

There is still wide difference Of
opinion among important interests as
to the probable course of the market
during the next few weeks. BY some
it is maintained that prices will go
considerably lower before the market
has a substantial Upturn. They con
tend that there has been no material
change for the better in conditions
and that what they regard as an in
evitable slackening in business and the
probable tightening of money will be
reflected in further aggressiveness by
the bear party and further liquida-
ton by the holders of actual stock. on
the other hand, it is considered that
whatever may come in way Of a falling
off in business it will be assumed by
active interests that the effect upon
stock exchange values has already been
discounted and that the holders of Sc
curities will be inclined TO buy rather
than SELL

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. June 20.-Wheat has been a
rather quiet affair today. The foreign
n.arlets early this morning We're
quoted a penny higher. this started our
market a shade firmer but it was a
local affair all day. The green bug and
wire worm talk which was so much
IN evidence yesterday was conspicuous
by its absence today. The northwest
on the contrary, sent a little more
cheerful view of their crop situation.
Rains in North Dakota. northern Min
nesota and Manitoba, where most need
ed. We're reported.
Considerable realizing sales were
made in the wheat pit throughout the
session, this selling took the edge of
the market closing 1t rather weak with
a decline OF about five-eights of a cent
compared with last evenings closing
prices.
CORN-Followed in the foot paths
of the wheat market, weak and strong
in turns. finally closing with slight
decline for the day. The sale Of 500
600 bushels cash corn was reported but
it did not create any especial furry in
speculative options. There was con-
siderable profit taking INDUCED in
/ throughout the session. The tone OF
the market at the close was rather
weak
OATS-Continued reports OF crop
damage by bugs and other pests in
tuenced early dealings in the wheat
pit. but the weakness in other cereals
carried the oats market back TO the
/ opening prices after the shorts had
| covered.
Cash demand reported dull although
! sales TO exporters were over 2oo,oUo
The market closed steadyw.

The voluntary payments that have
been made upon our mortgages under
what are technically termed the pre-
payment privileges. have been during
the past twelve months in excess Of
anything we have experienced and the
number of loans being paid at maturity
rather than renewed has been I'M
usually heavy.

The gold export movement is less
pronounced than expected, but sterling
is strong and likely to remain so. 1t
is believed that the Bank Of France
will not allow interest on shipments of
gold in the near future, perhaps pend
ing the preparation Of American bank
ers for July first settlements. There
is no reason, however, to accept a final
termination Of gold shipments while
commercial sterling is not being sup
piled through commodity exports. The
decision OF the telegraph operators Of
the country TO strike may prove to be
important in its effect on business gen
orally if carried out. The second hour
of the afternoon was active in special
ties and the market displayed some
what improved tone.

The thing to do is TO buy stocks con-
servatively now on reactions. only as
much as you can take care Of, and buy
some more out of your profits later on
The best information l can get today
is that no change viii be made in the
Reading dividend, and that after some
disappointment when the usual rate is
announced the stock VIII be taken in
hand and given quite a good advance.

1t is true that the crop condition as
a whole is at present not at all ia
vorable one and it is not unreasonable
to expect considerable shortage in
practically all lines. The farmer natur-
ally is disappointed at the outlook, but
that a single season of such shortage
will materially effect his condition as
an interest and debt payer We doubt.

In Canadian railway circles it is re-
sarded as certain that the Canadian Pa
cihc railway has greatly strengthened
its position with the government of
Japan because of the manner in which
its officials entertained Prince Fushimi,
the representative of the royal family,
during his stay in Canada. The prince
crossed the Atlantic in a Canadian Pa
cifc steamer and later will cross the
Pacific as well in one of the company's
boats. While in Montreal the prince
was entertained by Sir William Van
Horne and met most Of the directors

MARIE coRELLI ON MEN.

Marie Corelli. the English author.
has her pen in hand to write for
Harper's Bazaar an article against suf-
frage for women, of which. it seems.
Miss Corelli highly disapproves. Incl
dentally, she pays her respects to mere
man in these unf1attering terms:
1T is a case of a pet iamb growing
up into a savage butting sheep. Forget
ting the days when it was gently led
about by a length OF blue ribbon and
fed on sweet clover, the too tenderly
treated animal turns to q coarse and
clumsy mutton, whose one idea in life
is to lnjure the friend that fostered its
growth. And the moral of this little
allegory is obvious: Never have pet
lambs.
Unfortunately, however, woman. at
the earliest outset of her acquaintance
With him, always persists in fond!ing
and humorlng man in pet-lamb fash
ion, and when she sees him going
ton which her too Jealous attention has
brought upon him. she cannot quite
understand his mutton aspect. She re
proaches him with ungratefulness: I
have taJ.en such care of your sic
cries-l.nd you take no care of me,'
She forgets that her overcare is the
cause of his clumsy butting at her.
Men. like sheep, thrive best left to
themselves in an open pasture. A GER
tain amount of neglect does net hun
them. They are not at their best tied
up in a Woalan's boudoir and fad on
batteries. If uch has been the manner
of their training. they naturally canaot

want anything else in this world but
