BUSINESS VERY MODERATE
BY THOMAS c. sHoTWELL.

New York, Sept 21-Activity in the bond market today again was the promi- nent feature on the stock exchange Re- vival of interest in bonds is usually re- garded as the start of a more liberal distribution of stocks among investors and indications that such was the case Induced further retirement of short con- tracts.
 The opening quotations of securities displayed some irregularity and during the last half hour moderate recessions were recorded. The facility with which offerings we're absorbed, however, caused change of sentiment on the part of pro- fessfonal traders and prices were advano- ed with considerable vigor. The market closed strong at about the best prices.
 New York city fks sold around 1071b. The demand for them showed that out-of- town banks were eager to acquire them to pledge as collateral for government deposits.

Best authorities say that while money may work a little higher later in the fall, 1t will not be stringent enough to cause trouble

Americans in London were maintained at parity on the more cheerful tone in New York The volume of business was modeate and movements were narrow. Prices closed irregular. The Copper shares were easy.
 Foreign markets were irregular. Paris and Berlin both showed weakness. Lon don was dull but cheerful, although Americans were irregular at that center. Some interest was shown here in the continued firmness of foreign exchange, although this was offset by reports of time loans made at levels shading recent

 Porto Rico No Longer European.
 The United States in Porto Rico," by Edgar Allen Forbes, in the September Worlds Work, tells in picture and story the results of nine years of American occupation on the island. The writer, who saw Porto Rico while 1t was under the Spanish rule, contrasts It's present con dition with that of the old regime.
 He says that the Porto Rico of 1898 was essentially a part of Europe; the United States and all that it represents was as utterly foreign to the average native as was Arabia or Hindustan.

 There was a profound silence.
 "The study of the United States be- longs to a course which has not been taken yet.' the teacher hastened to ex- plain.
 This was in January, 1899 The course is being taken now and everybody knows the answer.

We often hear men say in ex-
cuse for their ignorance that they
never had "a chance" Now the
majority of men who have be-
come noted, made the chance for
themselves. Where there's will
there's way, you know, and the
boy who determines to be some
thing and does not lose heart in
the struggle, generally accomplish
es his end. One may have great
many wise and ambitious thoughts
but if not followed up with perse-
verance and industry, he will
never amount to much. A thing
must be wholly done and well
done, if one would have fame and
prosperity. Education is the great
preparation that materially figures
in ife's success, and our school is
making extensive preparation to
give every young man and woman
in the county ga chance in the
race" at a very small outlay.
