SAVlORS FEATHER NESTS
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, April 25.-(Special )-Men ir Wall street of the greatest experience and ripest judgment almost unanimously confess themselves to be very much per- plexed over the market situation. The tale of the tape gives no clew to what is going on in the background beyond the fact that strong interests are sustaining prices and that they are apparently more interested in holding stocks about where they are than in engineering for a ma teral rise..-
 Doubtless this moderation on their part is due to justifiable apprehension that if they were to attempt to shove prices up they would get lot of real stock which they have no actual need for The bears on the other hand confess discour- agement and admit that operations for the last month or two have resulted in almost unvarying losses. One of the best traders in Wall street, a man who has amassed millions in the game and who has been in it for more than 30 years, said to the writer that he felt like fool whenever he took a trade on the sho.s side. He said that on his judg- Iitll dlOne DdSeQ Oll DuSlItSS COHullloilo and prospects he would be decidedly bear ish, but that every time he undertook to do anything on that side he either had to content himself with minor scalp or take a good loss.
 The market being narrow and the big interests having absolute cor rol of the call money supplies it is 2 By matter to m a rlx nm nricac m the intereS Is whenever one develops that is worth while trimming. Meanwhile the public is becoming accustomed to the current range of quotations which marks a re- covery of about one-third from the low levels, reached during the agony of the October panic. In some few cases the recovery is almost a half, but the aver age is nearer a third. The prevailing range of prices may not be unreason- able, everything considered, and to right ly measure the extent of legitimate ad- vance from the period of extreme de- pression.
 United States Steel issues. the Harri- man stocks, Reading and Pennsylvania have been made the backbone of the market, and the supporting efforts of the great leaders seem to be largely concen- trated to these quarters. Advantage has been taken of the times to work up into line many of the minor issues that have been sneglected. These things are va- riously characterized as "cats and dogs" strange and curious stocks, resur- rected ones" and the like.
 It might be invidious to distinguish this odds and ends collection. by names It takes in lot of truck that has been almost innocuous for months being un- saleable and therefore seldom offered. The movement in these things is looked

The Evolution of Food.

From Harper's Weekly.
 What would be the sensations of one of our ancertors of the middle ages if he could sit down to a modern breakfast table?
 To begin with fruits, these were al- most unknown to the men of his period; certainly in their present form So were most of our vegetables The only veg etable which seems to be more or less indigenous over the greater part of the world is the squash-pumpkin tribe. The pumpkin is very ancient, for it dates back to Cinderella.
 Of course he knew the small wild cherry with it's bitter flavor, the little wild strawberry, blackberry, and plum. Apples, or "crabs,s S Shakespeare calls them. were used in England, and gener- ally roasted In order to deprive them Of their astringency. The wild hedge orange of China and India filtered into Europe occasionally, but it was scarcely eatabe Potatoes were, of course, unknown. Ba- nanas were introduced in quantity to Europe within the lifetime of many mid dle-aged men. The grapefruit is the product of the past two decades, and even yet has sedom-crossed the Atlantic The peach was a poisonous shrub Tn Persia
 Strangely enough, it was the lack of fruit which led to the discovery Of Asia In those days when salt fish WIS the usual diet of all nations, pepper became a luxury. Pepper plays disproportion- ate part, in history. Who speaks aml sings of spices nowadays, when they can be procured at every grocery store? Yet it was to obtain pepper that the East India company was chartered during the reign of Elizabeth.
 Oats were defined scornfully by Doc tor Johnson as food fed to men in Scot land and to horses in England. What would the worthy doctor have thought of our very modern breakfast foods-the flakes the brans. the husl<s, the shreds, and various constituents of grains? Tea, coffee and cocoa were, of course. un- known until the beginning of the 18th century. Sugar was the most costly of condiments. Bookkeeping was the prac- tice of every farmer.

merely shipped abroad, warehoused and money borrowed on it? If the latter, who has made the advances and down to what point did the loans carry?
 If money has been borrowed on the undigested stock of metal down to 10 cents pound the investment would rep resent about $4O,000,OOO That undigested mass may come into sight again one of these days most unpleasantly. Mean time American production is increasing and the copper metal market shows symptoms of further back tracking on the down side.

 Mrs. Blank. wife of a prominent min- ister near Boston, had in her employ recently engaged colored cook as black as the proverbial ace of spades One day Mrs. Blank said to her:
 Matilda. I wish that you would have oatmeal quite often for breakfast. My husband is very fond <. of it. He is Scotch, and you know that the Scotch eat a great deal of oatmeal"
 "Olr, he's Scotch, is he?" said Matilda. Well, now. do you know, I was think in all along dat he wasn't des like us"
