GOOD LOOSE BREAKS
EXPECTED TODAY

The leaf tobacco breaks will be resumed
to day and the warehousemen look for
fairly large deliveries. a number of wag

by rail have been good. The probability ia
that the breaks this morning will be large
enough to keep the buyers busy until the

The sales will begin at Crenshaw's, with
second at Shockoe, third at stonewall, and
fourth at Shelburnes.

is to the effect that the breaks last week
We're quite large and the prices high.

UNION PACIFIC. is STRONG

NEW YORK, May l3.-The runaway
wheat market caused n monetary set
back to stocks TO-DAY, prices yleiulns
most of the openings gains IN the
course Of the first hour. me market
gathered force again after that 70
mount to q higher level OF prices Dut
the volume of business fell away TO
almost nothing The top level of prices
was touched after the sensational
opening quotations for wheat We're re-
ceivcd. The sentiment OF the Securl-
ties market seemed to be to attach
considerable weight to the contributing
causes to the strength In wheat IN
addition to the present condition OF
the winter wheat crop Damage to
foreign crops is given it's part in the
strength of wheat and in making bet
ter prices for our own crop. The
largest reserves in farmers hands, ac-
cording to the government statistics
gives, promise of handsome profits to
Offset deficiencies Of this years crop.
The argument was heard also that the
cry Of dollar wheat, which swept the
market to-day, will stimulate to every
possible effort to increase the acreage
of spring wheat.
The undertone of strength in the
stock market however, was due TO an
Important extent to sympathy with the
strength in Union Pacific. That stock
rising tendency is variously attributed
to the better opinion of the financial
plan announced last week or to In
side support to hold up the price OF
the stock and SO add to the attractive
ness of the offered convertible bonds.
Reading was a seconding influence to
the sustaining effect of Union Pacific,
Covering operations by an OUTSTANDING
short interest We're given credit for
the rise in that stock. American
Smelling showed some depression, due
to rumors denying former reports that
the dividend rate on the stock was to
be advanced. The increasing premium
on New York Exchange at Chicago in
dicates the, progress of remittances
from, that centre to New York, Union
Pacific and Reading were the princ-
pa, factors in the strong closing.

A Truthful Man.

The story is II most remarkable one,
but Mr.. Lawrence is truthful man,
and besides he was fishing with a we'll
known Manchester sportsman, who full
~ corroborntcs his story. He explains
1t In this way. Some one put u young
catfish In large tomato can, perhaps
several years ago. Only n small piece
OF the top of the can was cut out, and
when the little fish was forced in, It's
stir fms would not permit 1t to make
It's escape, as the opening was quite
a small one. The fish fed on what
hoatcd into tho can, ana grew to be
a monster Mr.. Lawrence was fishing
with worms. and his baited hook float
cd into the can, and was at once grab
bed by the fish. He pulled In and
was sure he was making good haul,
as the weight on his line Indicated
that something was doing"

DIR. Eastman's Lecture.

The lecture by DR.. Charles Eastman
at the Bethany church, last Friday even.
Ing, under the auspices of the Woman
Club drew out a large audience as 1t
always the case with events under their
management 1t was an address worthy
of the great reputation held by this
noted writer and speaker. His words
were chosen with great care as to their
accuracy but his voice, especially In the
most impressive portions, was low and
did not entirely fill the audience room,
thus providing the only criticism which
could be INDUCED in and this only APP
plicable to those who sat at some dis
lance from the speaker. DR.. Eastman's
view point is that of the American In
dian aid his sympathies are largely
with his own race, whom he rightly re-
CARDS as the only genuine Americans.
The Indian, however, of which he
spoke, whose customs. character.
thoughts aud aspirations he described
was not of the race with which we are
now most familiar. 1t was rather the
American of old, the 80 called savage,
as he was before his contact with Euro
pean peoples before he became subject
ed to influences which seem to have de-
stroyed the best and eft the worst of
his characteristics. Dr.. Eastman oo-
cupies much the same relation to the
american indian that Booker Washing
ton does to the negro. He is the more
interesting because he is the one striking
exception to the great mass OF bis own
race today.

DELIGHTFUL Day.

Editor Horald.-I worshipped at
the Presbyterian Church on last Sun
day night and in the closing hymn OF
the service these words occurred: "And
that delightful day will come, when
my dear Lord will call me home"
The delightful day meaning, Of
course, the dey Of death, and as the
music broke out upon the quiet night
air | remembered that four members
of that church had recently died,
and in the home Of a neigh
Dor another lay dead, and there
were sorrowing souls and breaking
hearts. What pity that we cannot
say i'm our hearts as we sing i'm our
churches, "When that delightful day
will Gomez And, then, when on the
next day at the funeral heard the
man Of God read these words, so,
death where is thy sting? o, grave
where is thy victory" l wondered
again that there were signs rather than
songs And yet the Master wept at
the grave Of his friend and hasn't
promised to wipe away tears this side
Of heaven. SO we will continue to
sing and sigh and make melody in
our hearts while we mourn our dead.
"Are we ready? ready for the judg-
ment day."
