/ pated. Bank clearing of reading cities
continue to rua about 80 per cent be
| low last year. which is some indica
| ton of the dizziness of trade, al
though allowance must be made fol
the fall in prices and the shrinkage In
speculation compared with one year
ago.
Stocks Situation Better.
Within stock market circles, as al
ready said, the situation shows some
| Improvement. The rise which has
taken place is inducing the selling OF
stocks by some large and srewd in
Vestors, though this movement is not
general Many of the big operators
still hold large lines or surplus stocks
for which they would like to find a
market. There is not public specula
tion and commission houses as a
rule are carrying comparatively small
lines of securities. Just now the key
to the situation is the money market.
While present low rates of interest
remain-wh.cn is likely to continue
for considerable period-good
stocks will look exceedingly cheap,
even allowing for reduction in divi
dendS.
Power of Cheap Money.
Meanwhile, the power of cheap
money canr0t be ignored in stock
market operations; for in the hands
of skillful men it is the most power
full known leverage for high prices.
II should also be taken Tnio considera-
ton that many of the financial
schemes of CuG railroads were held
up by the panic. Conditions are now
becoming more favorable for the car
rying out of such plans, and financial
leaders are likely to support the mar
ket for the purpose of lessening their
holdings of stock bought to check the
panic and to enable them to better
finance these deals 1t is quite evil
dent, therefore, that big financial i'm
terests are opposed to a decline and
In favor Of II stronger market Whe-
Their they will be able to ignore gen
eral business conditions remains to
be seen Upon their side they have
tie aIIpowclful factor of easy money
and with an Improvement in business
or crop situation they viii probably
he more or less successful. The out
come, however, is SO uncertain that
we cannot hu. advise much caution
in stock market operations. Pur-
chases should only be made on good
reactions; and. until the outlook be-
comes considerably brighter, profits
should be taken upon all reasonable |
advances.

Lemon Squeezers.

We have all know people whose
particular occupation seem to be to
squeeze the sour out of everything.
They never see anything sweet. Ev-
erythiug is bitter to them.
They cannot enjoy friend because
of his faults. His mistakes and weak
nesses loom up so large that they
cannot appreciate the good in him.
They cannot see the man man God
intended, perfect and immoral; they
see only the deformed, diseased, Grip
pied, handicapped man who, in their
opinion, will nexer come to any good.
Now do they see the world that
God made. The beauty that looks
out of the landscape, from the trees
that rustic in the wind, that is wrap
ped in the flower, is lost to them.

ANOTHER SLAYER JAILED
Love Negro Who Killed Another in May
Brought from Arkansas.

Sheriff Barbee returned yesterday
morning from Little Rock, accompa-
MED by Alec Hightower, the negro
who killed Bob Street, another negro,
near Love, Sunday, May 81.
Immediately after the shooting
Hightower escaped and was not heard
from until last week, when Little
Rock authorities notified officers here
of his capture.
The killing is said to have been
caused by trouble over a woman.
Hightower admits the killing, but
claims that he shot in self-defense.
Physical facts, however, do not bear
out the defense plea.
