Disappointed.

At small dinner Of legal as
sociation held in Washington not
long ago one Of the speakers told
of a farmers son in Illinois who
conceived desire to shine as legal
light. Accordingly he went up to
Springfield, where he accepted en-
ployment at small sum from a
fairly well-known attorney.
At the end of three days study
he returned TO the farm.

Bradstreet's says:

oIou0IbVOt p p0yS.
Continued warm, unreasonable
weather and the approach of the
national election tend to hamper dis
.tribution of seasonable merchandise,
the puchase of any but immediate
necessities and the projection of new
enterprises. On balance, industry Is
slightly more active, some branches
of the iron trade having increased
forces. while building is more brisk;
but, at the same time. drouth or
low water In various navigable
tstreams tend to affect such lines
as coke, waterway navigation and
paper mills. Railway tonnage Is
heavier and current gross earnings
show smaller decreases than for any
time In the past 10 months.
Summed up, caution still prevails.
but confidence Is very strong, and,
therefore. natural conditions, togeth-
er with light stocks, should produce
a marked degree Of expansion after
the turn of the new year.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Moderate improvement Is indica-
ted in reports of current trade from
most sections of the country, with
pronounced confidence regarding the
future.
Although many large undertakings
are held back in the iron and steel
industry pending the result of the
election numerous small contracts are
being placed and specifications on
old orders involve considerable ton
mage. Progress Is slow, but. on the
whole there Is a distinct improve
ment each week, export business con-
tinuing liberal.

Notes For Workers,

Here are some good suggestions for
League workers:
Find your work where Christ has
put you"
Seek to make at least one spot OF
the earth brighter by deed Of
yours.
when you begin to worry, do not
forget that God still has control Of
everything"
Christ has redeemed and lifted
you up, that you, in turn, may lift up
Others"
eff you truly love God. your heart
will be filled with His Spirit. and you
will be obedient to His commands"
THE true Christian Is like the sun,
which pursues his noiseless track, and
everywhere leaves the effect OF his
beams in blessings on ALL"
"One has we'll said that our chief
concern should be, not to obtain
higher places. but to fill we'll the
places we already hold. Better fill a
humble position we'll than occupy one
above our ability. ."-Plttsburg Chris.

New York, May s.-There were violent fluctuations in the cotton market today with the close steady at a net decline of l6 to 1 points, Sales were estimated at S75. 900 bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to points with active months selling ' to points net lower during the early session in response to easier cables than expected, better weather in the south and rumors that Wall street bulls were carry ing full line of long contracts. A rally of to points was followed by renewed weakness late in the forenoon with the market selling about 12 to 13 points net lower at S.97c for July and S.Slc for Oc- tober, but in the early afternoon there was strong support from Wall street bulls, early sellers turning to cover, and July shot Up to 9.15c, or points net higher while October sold at s .97c, or points net higher, both months entering new high ground for the bull movement. Offerings became very heavy at this advance, and the market broke violently in the late ses- sion with July selling off to S.S7c, or 30 points from the best and 29 points net lower. The close was a little up from the lowest on covering. but sentiment seemed to be very nervous and unsettled.
 Some bullish spot news was received from southern sources, but the weather forecast was for fair and warmer condi- tions and wires from New Orleans sug- gested that this might lead to increased spot offerings.
 At the high point today the market was 80 to 97 points above the recent low rec ord.
