STILL ANOTHER SADIE POEM.
Norfolk Colored Woman and Her Sheep
Will Live In Verse,

Will Live in Verse.
Well, here's another poem about Sa-
die and her sheep. The police are TAX
ing this joke good naturally, realizing
that no offense is intended by any Of
these verse writer's. This one was
written by a Norfolk woman who de-
sires that her name be not used:
Sadie had some little sheep,
Which followed her each day,
And when they gamboled on the walk
1t angered Policeman Hay.
He told her she must take her sheep
And to her home go straight,
And not stand there and talk to him,
He had not time to wait.
She did not feel inclined to go
She'd rather stand and talk.
She said Abe Lincoln made her free,
And when she chose, she'd walk.
And if she wanted pets with her
1t didn't cut no ice
Whether she chose a sheep or cur,
And l won't have your advice"
At this he let his choler rise,
He talked to her quite hard;
He tried to drive them home again,
And shut them in her yard.
The little sheep loved freedom so,
They would not drive bit;
They waited till they got the chance,
Then into him they lit.
They butted him into the street,
And when they got him down,
They capered all about and said,
This man of great renown
Has done us lambs a fearful wrong,
We never did harm before
But Wen sing his tune to another sons
When we meet on the other shore.

BIDS ARE IN.
For Waterbury,s New s25O,OOO Union
 Station.

Waterbury, June 1.-The time for the presentation of bids for the new Union station here closed yesterday. The bids were received at the office of McKtm, Mead & White in New York. they being the architects who drew the plans for the structure.
 The bids will first be thoroughly in spected by the architects, after which ttey will be turned over to the directors of the New Haven road. The contract will probably be awarded at next weeks meeting of the directors or the meeting the week following. The Tracy Brothers company of this city is one of the bidders,
 Work win begin at once after the contract is awarded. It will be award ed as a general contract The building will be completed within a year and a half, according to the architects spec ifcations, and ready for occupancy.
 The only Waterbury contracts who have bid on the general contract are the. Tracy Brothers company. The firm put in bid approximating $26O,00O It is believed that the bids for the work will range from $25O,OOO to $SOO,OOO. Among the bidders are several big New York firms, as well as other Connecti- cut firms. The Tidewater Building company, in which John H. Whitte- mere, one of the directors of the road, is interested, Is also said to be one of the bidders
 The specifications call for the erection of high tower and illuminated clock at the top, Should the bids be consid- cred too high, or greatly exceed the ap-. propration which 1t is understood the roads directors have already made for the structure, 1t is possible that some changes will be made in this feature of the building.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Mood of Depression--Trade Largely in
 Professional Hands.

New York, June 11.--A mood of de-
 pression crept over the stock market again to-day. The trading was largely
 in professional hands and the move ment of prices was under suspicion of
 exaggeratlon by the efforts of this
 class to further their purpose of get ting action sufficient to offer a pro- fit on operation. The consequence was
 rather cratic movement on prices and abrupt fluctuations on compara- lively small dealings, The opportunist policy of the traders led to sudden shifting of position without maintain ing any ground for long. The con- stant changes thus involved gave sug- gestion of lack of conviction on the part of the operators. There was some disposition to attribute the recurrent
 weakness to the important failure in
 the contracting business announced
 this morning, although the effects of this were slight so far as surface in- dications went The decline at the op- ening, which was attributed to this cause, did not go far before effective support was forthcoming. The dimen- sions of the liabilities involved in the failure, however, made it impressive, It's significance as an evidence of the scarcity of capital was obvious, but the example was lessened in its force by the fact of the large outlay by the involved company in permanent in- provement work at a time when ample working capital was especially irnpor- tant. The implied suggestion that the financial position was such as to ham, per improvement work was not helpful to speculative sentiment A more in- fluential factor in the weakness was the bad impression caused by the acer- pity of public discussion in Japan of relations with the United States. No actual happening was reported to &C., count for the feeling but there was much attention given to the subject in the financial district, which found It's reflection in the study of the com parative naval forces of the two coun- trles ana or the vulnerable positions in case of an outbreak of hostilities. The Japanese 1 1-2's declined 3-8 to l-2 in this market, but the other issues were unaffected here, although some heaviness was reported in Japanese is- sues abroad. Paris also resumed the liquidation of copper stocks in Lon don. The contango rate for the ap- preaching settlement in London was called stiff, but discounts yielded there. The money market here grew percep- tibly stronger and opinion gained force that a rise before the end of the half year is likelihood,
 There was monetary rise in prices when 1t was announced that Gov. Hughes had vetoed the New York two- cent fare bill, but the drop from that point was abrupt with the dssemina- tion of the rumors of trouble with Jap an. Last prices represented very slight recoveries from the lowest.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par value, $924,O0O.
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call

The market acted in the morning as If it wanted to go up and there was wayering and indecision until well on into the afternoon and then prices of the active speculative stocks began to melt away.

Just before the close there was a feeble rally when reports were received from Washington that Japanese Am bassador Aoki has indefinitely post poned his trip to the Pacific coast and given his approval of the policy of the Japanese in San Francisco to sue the city for damages recently inflicted. Old established foreign banking houses said they had received no intelligence of any immediate trouble between the two countries.

Early in the day traders on the board were betting that the dividend on Reading would be increased to 6 per cent. at the next meeting When the market turned later it was Reading that showed the least support. It was full of stop-loss orders.

Wheat was down 2 1-2 cents yester- day, and Is from 10 to 12 cents under recent prices. Consequently the bear element in the market has to look about for fresh reasons for attacks on stocks.

ESTABLISHED 1855.

On the bull side were the absence of further gold exports, the veto of the two-cent bill in New York, a gradual realization that crop conditions are not far below the average, and better pros poets abroad. The bearlsh factors were the Milliken failure, which was a pro- duct of over-extension; the slightly higher rate for money, and the disap- pointment felt over the note of aggres- siveness in the presidents Jamestown speeches.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-06-12

The downward movement was prompted by the Milliken failure, but the failure occurred with maximum order sheet in the company's hands. The failure illustrated pressure on all manufacturing and trading concerns to enlarge their facilities on an extensive scale, and the extravagantly high price of materials and labor, which makes preliminary estimates spf the cost of such additions unreliable.

Vorys Resigns State Office to Man

SpeCl6t DIbp6VH 10 Auc otul.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, December 2.-After a
conference with Gov. Harris at noon to-
day, State insurance COMMISSIONER A. l.
Vorys rendered his resignation. 1t was
accepted. to take effect December 16. and
the governor appointed his own execut We
Clerk. Judge G, C Lenert. to the Office.
Gov. Harris stated that he had hoped
that Mr.. Vorys would remain in the or
fee during his entire administration. and
that he (Vorys) retired against his re.
quest that he remain, In order to devo, q
his time to other affairs. OF course, the
other affairs are the Taft interests. Mr..
Vorys being at the head Of the Taft
movement.
This action relieves Gov. Harris Of
embarrassment. since the law provides
that when the senate has rejected an ap-
pointment the governor shall send In a
new" one. The senate rejected Mr.
Vorys' appointment. when sent in by
former Gov. Herrick. but some of Mr.
Vorys friends were claiming that another
appointment would be a new one, even
though It be of the same person The
senate 10 democratic, but it is believed
that the nomination OF Mr.. Vorys would
not have been rejected but for the fact
that the election OF Gov. Pattison gave
the democrats hope that a deuaoc. at
might get the place Gov. Pattisoa died
before he could t'ke the matter up, and
Mr.. Vorys has since been serving as a
holdoyer,
