And there were wrinkles in her cheeks
And gray threads in the gold
OF her thick locks, gray for the years
The long years -she had told.
And we two talked Of various things
She said, II thought told
You ere you left the house this morn
To leave some money" Cold

PRESSURE IN MONEY MARKET.
With the Demand to Move the Crops
There VIII Be Caution in
Speculative Ventures.

NEW YORK. August 3-The stock
market this week has moved under the
restraint OF the mixed factors in the
situation. Interest centered on the
quarterly report of the United States
Steel Corporation, but its showing of
record net earnings of the quarter was
of less influence than the accompanying
statement that new orders OF the corpo-
ration for July had fallen 25 to 80 per
cent below these received in July OF
last year The rise in money rates in
New York was all that obviated the ex-
tension Of the export of gold to France,
which was commenced early in the week.
The expectation that the pressure on
the money market will develop with the
demand to move the cropsc instills a
spirit of caution into all speculative
ventures dependent on borrowed money.
