amount of money that would be at
tracted from the newcomers would
speedily find its way into circulation
again.
This is plausible. but postal savings
banks in this country might not be as
attractive to immigrants as the postal
savings banks Of their own country
are. They are, perhaps, too ignorant to
know much about government finan-
ciering, but they may know enough
not to be wholly trustful Of the kind
that is now in evidence.

Drainage.

The drainage in Wall street has been
pretty thorough, and when 1t is all
done what Is left will be better Coin
cident with this decrease in water, a
congress is to be held in Baltimore
next week to determine upon definite
policy touching the reclamation of the
swamp areas of the country so that
they may be available for cultivation
and settlement.
With the Panama canal, the irriga-
ton of arid lands, the inland water
ways and the financial situation to talk
about and deal with this country seems
to have its hands full just now, but
there can be no doubt Of the vast ben
eft which will come from the draining
Of land that Is now too wet. There are
more than 10000, 900 acres of such
land in the South alone, and it will be
very fertile and valuable when drain
ed. This is a big and a rich country
even If it is little troubled just now
1t has more riches under water than
many countries have out of water.

Ode to Autumn.

Season Of mists and mellow fruitful
Close bosom-friend OF the maturing
sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and
bless
With fruit the vines that round the
thatoheaves rum
To bend with apples the moss cottage
trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the
core;
To swell the sourd and plump the
With a sweet kernel; to set budding
more
And still more later flowers for the
bees,
Until they think warm days viii new
er cease;
For summer has o'erbrimm'd their
clammy cells,
Who hash not seen thee oft amid thy
store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may
find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnow-
ing wind
Or on half-reaped furrow sound
asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of peoples,
while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its
twtned flowers;
And sometimes like CLEANER thou dost
keep
Steady a thy laden head across a
Or by a cider-press, with patient
ook
Thou watchest the last oozings
hours by hours.
Where are the songs of spring? Ay
| where are they?
Think not Of them, thou hast thy
music, too
| While barred clouds bloom in the soft
| dying day,
And touch the stubbleplains with
rosy hue;
Then in wilful choir the small gnats
mourn
Among the rivers shadows, borne alofi
Or sinking as the light wind lives
or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from
billy bourn;
Hedge .crickets sing, and now will
treble soft
! The redbreast whistles from the gar
den-croft
And gathering swallows twitter il

POSTAL SAYINGS BANKS

In arguing for his pet scheme of
postal savings banks the postmaster
general figures than $3.50, 000,O0o were
sent from this country to Europe with
in twelve months by immigrants.
Some $40, 900, 900 of this he has traced
to postal savings banks in the old
world. Immigrants, he finds, are, as a
rule, fearful of American banks, but
have enormous faith in government
guarantees. If there were postal saw
ings banks in this country. he believes
that many millions of immigrant saw
ings would doubtless be deposited in
them. Now the bulk of this money,
when 1t does not go abroad, is hoard
ed. As the postmaster-generals postal
bank plan provides that the deposits
shall be placed with the national
banks, he believes that very large

EAGER 10 BUYe

Again the story goes around that
Japan is eager to buy the Philippines
This time its start is traced to the
statement said to have been made by
a Japanese agent sent to Germany to
borrow money for his government.
Eager to buy" will have cheering
sound to those who are eager to sell,
and II 1t turns out tfaat there is no
such eagerness to buy those who are
eager to sell will wish there were. IF
we could get back what those trouble
some islands have cost US and get
them off our hands at the same time
| 1t would relieve the financial situation
and relieve some other situations. Very
likely, however, If the matter should
really come up for consideration 1t
would be found that eagerness to sell
is not very widespread in this country.
Some don't like to back out" of any
thing, others don't want to hand over

too, the Filipinos would rather belong

sued a call to the various chambers of.
commerce and boards of trade to send
representatives to Washington to have
talk with him on December S. The
object of this conference is simply to
secure an exchange OF ideas among
practical men interested in building
up the commerce Of the United States,
both foreign and domestic. Secretary
Straus emphasizes the ract that it is
not to be a convention in a formal
sense. He is a practical business man
and appreciates the value of practical
business ideas. He feels that in certain
particulars the United States is be-
ing outdistanced by foreign rivals in
the race for trade. He believes that

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 4.-PFospects of improved
weather conditions for the growing crop
had a weakening effect today on the
wheat market, the May delivery closing
at net loss of sQkc. Corn and oats
were each down &c. Provisions were "a
CSC higher.
The wheat market was inclined to be
weak all day and trading lacked the ac-
tivity that had been manifested the two
previous sessions. The continued wet
weather in Kansas and other sections Of
the west and southwest completely offset
the numerous crop damage reports which
were received from all parts of the winter
wheat territory The official forecast of
more rain tonight and Sunday in Kansas
and Nebraska added to the bearish senti-
ment. Large primary receipts and lower
prices for wheat at European grain cen
tiers were additional weakening influ-
ences. The market became very dull late
in the session. The close was steady.
July opened &c lower to sc higher at
S4zg4zc, sold down to S3Ssc and closed
at S35sqS4c- Primary receipts were $685.
900 bushels.
Likelihood that weather conditions the
coming week will be much more favor
able for farm work added largely TO the
weak undertone that prevailed in the for
eign market the greater part of the day.
The market closed fairly steady July
opened unchanged TO &c lower at 49Esc.
sold off 10 49l5c and closed at 1850. Local
receipts were 254 cars.
Improved weather for the growing crops
caused scattered selling among smaller
holders OF oats which resulted in mod
crate weakness. July opened &c higher
at 1910. sold off to 42ssG42s4c and closed
at 4244c. Local receipts were 294 cars.
Moderate purchases of lard by local
packers impaired some firmness to pro-
visions At the close July pork was up
2lzc at 1855. Lard was ND SC at SSH.
Rohs were 21zGf5c higher at IS. 75GS.771k.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
