THE STOCK MARKET
MADE FEEBLE RESPONSE TO NEWS
DEVELOPMENTS.
Conditions In Winter wheat Belt are Gen.
orally Recognised as Unsatisfactory
and News from Day TO Day

New York. April 25.--The stock market
made but feeble response today to any news

that remained vaguely formed and hesitat-
factor In making this condition 10 the I'M

Present conditions in the winter wheat
belt are generally recognized as unsatis-

extent sufficient to weigh on the very mar

The announcement was made during the
day of the coming dissolution on May Of

that the largest part of the issue had been
unmarketed and would be distributed to
syndicate members.
The Incident served as unpleasant re-
minder that much remained to accomplish
towards the absorption Of congestion on the
bond market. Some significance attached
to the notable movement of the Chicago
Great Western shares which was attributed
to the reports on its capitalization by the
Minnesota Legislative committee.
Market sentiment is sensitive to sugges-
lions of the prosecuting of a policy of gov
eminent regulation of capitalization based
on appraised valuation An unpleasant
impression was caused by rumors kept IN

sage will be viewed with relief. The fipan-
cial district was not gratified over the
course of developments in criminal case
involving speculations from a trust company
and the effect was aggravated by the Bug-
gestions of mystery over the possible extern
sion of criminal liability. The stock mar
ket had some benefit from the late reaction
in the wheat market although that move
ment was due to realizing of profits in
wheat and was without change in the char
acter of the crop news. The days bet
changes are trivial. almost without excep-
tion.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value
s1.527,000. United States bonds were un-
changed on call.

Gentle Persuasion.

Many stories are told of the eccentric
doings and sayings Of an old clergyman
who lived in Maine some years ago.
At one time there had been fight
among some men, one Of whom was
seriously hurt A trial took place, and
the old minister, who had seen the af-
fray, was summoned as witness.
What was Salson doing?" was the
first question.
"Oh. he was slashing around"
We'll, sir. just what do you mean by
that?'
why, he was knocking about him
here and there
"Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what
Salson did to this man."
"Why. he-he enticed him." said the
old minister slowly.
"Enticed him! How"
"He enticed him with crowbar. He
used the crowbar to persuade the man
to entice him-and by series Of
pokes and blows he succeeded in doing
it." said the minister mildly.-Youth's
Companion.

Noah Under suepicion.

The last copy of the Ararat Journal,

desk.

do we deplore his unwarranted attacks
Oh the sin trust and its worthy board

aside from the fact that these gen.

nifty, such wild denunciation and pre-
dictions Of our people listened to last
evening are likely to produce an unset

ut is generally believed that his mo-
tives are not above suspicion. In fact,
those who are we'll informed hint that
the old man has some watered and I'M

expects to float as soon as the sin trust
is swamped."

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A boys idea Of hero Is another
boy who runs away from home.
Nothing is so often overestimated as
the information given confidentially.
AS a rule. what a man calls his
rights represent merely desired privi-
leges.
You may have forgotten more than
the other man knows and still be a
short horse.
~ The mai who is scared into being
good is the one most likely to boast
Of his exceeding virtue.
There are lots Of ways of wasting
time. Feeling sorry for yourself brings
about as little returns as any.
When a man goes to church ano
hears sermon which seems intended

Mother Had the FAILING Too.

The visitor had dropped in lust for
a minute" but she remained about
three hours after the minute was up.
Little Freddie had formed several
plans, the execution Of which must be
postponed till the departure Of his
mothers guest. So he sat quietly
thinking things.
Dear little man." gushed the visitor.
"And what is he thinking about so
deeply?'
II was wondering If it wasn't time
for you to be going" said Freddie.
"Hushv' said his mother. Then, turn
ing to her guest: "You mustn't be Of
Tended, Mrs. Smith. Children will go
hurting out the truth without think
ing. But they don't mean anything by
It,"
Strangely enough, it was just then
that Mrs. Smith recollected that she
had only three minutes In which to
catch the last car home.-London Tele.
