irregular and Uncertain MOVcmen
Of Stocks Yesterday.
BULLS SELECTED READING STOCK
Prices Opened High as Usual on Mon
day, Following Passing Of Specula-
tive campaign-Some Of the Stocks
Showed Pressure Of Realizing.


NEW YORK, June 7.-Thc specula-
tive appetite fer stocks had lost some
Of its Zest today, to judge by the ir'
regular and uncertain movement OF
prices and shan2 break at the last.
There was moderate incursion of
new orders TO buy from the outside
world, such as is looked for, especial
ly on Monday mornings, during the
passing of a speculat.ce campaign, and
prices. as usual in the circumstances
were opened as high as possible. The
market was held well in hand after
that and the policy of shifting opera
tons from one point to another buy
ing in fresh quarters to cover the
selling of previously acquired holdings,
was pursued as it was last week
Reading was selected as the princi-
|ral medium for the supporting opera
lions by the bull party Rumors Of
coming dividend increases played 4
prominent part in the show OF
strength of special stocks Another
group of stocks moved in response
10 limitations that plans were ripen-
ing fo- reorganization of company H.
nanccs. this rumor serving Wahasl
well. United States steel and Union
Pac' fic were both under pressure of
realizing and the effect of this on the
general speculative tone was rather
formidable. There was no news Of
a directly unfavorable character. The
fact that the government crop reHOrt
is TO be issued tomorrow prompted
some disposition TO wait for that doc
ument for light on the crop situation.
From the Southwest came reports
that demand for currency beginning
to stir in preparation for moving the
coming crops. An advance in the
price of copper metal failed to benefit
the copper industrials. Prices gave
way all round in the last half hour.

An Uncertain Life,

Because of some little success
gained in amateur plays many young
people, misled by the plaudits OF
their friends, have gone upon the
stage only to be bitterly disappoint-
ed at their histrionic failure aad
meagre compensation. Instead OF
the popularity they expected to win
they have had to be content with
insignificant parts and small salary.
How small most salaries are in
the theatrical profession is indicat-
ed by the German government report
of salaries paid actors and actresses
in that country. Only ten in every
hundred get more than $3.50 a year,
while forty-fve per cent actually re-
ceive less than $3.50. Doubtless
salaries are somewhat higher In this
country, but so are expenses.
The lesson to be drawn from this
is that unless one has pronounced
and rare ability they should never
allow the glamor of the footlights
to wean them from other occupa-
tions, in which the compensation is
fair, to the uncertain and generally
unremunerative life Of the stage.

Neglect of the Fields.

MT. James ]. Hill, addressing the
American Bankers Association at
Chicago Tuesday, uttered warning
against the complacent belief that Is
widely held that the United States
feeds the world and is dependent up
on no other country for the support
Of life among its people, as so many
other ountries-England as a not
able example-are. Unless" said
Mr.. Hill, "we can increase the agri--
cultural population and their pro-
duction, the question of a source of
food supply at home will soon super
sede the question of a market
abroad. Mr.. Hill cited the increased
tendency of the rural population to
leave the fields and abandon agricul-
tural pursuits and to seek city life.
"This," says the Charleston Eve
ming Post" is a favorite topic with
this great railroad builder of the
Northwest, and he speaks with
authority and with convincing force
upon it. Undoubtedly the energies
of the nation and the agencies of the
government, as far as they may be
employed, are directed toward the
development of foreign markets pre-
eminently, to the neglect of and the
growing disinclination Of the people
to agricultural pursuits. 1t IS well
that someone like Mr.. Hill should
make this matter of agitation. The
Post is right, but we are too busy
chasing the elusive dollar to give
heed to wise utterances like those of
Mr.. Hill.
The Post very truly says that "at
Washington the whole scheme of the
government, under the dispensation
of the Republican party-which has
had such an inordinarily long lease
of power and has used it to such close
advantages directed toward eX-
ploitation, rather than production.
An artificial condition has been Gre
ated by the high tariff system, which
stimulates emery in channels created
by law, rather than in those made
by natural conditions of living. The
opportunity for abnormally large
profits in manufacturing and CONNER
cial activities made by the tariff
tends to subordinate the more staid
pursuit of production from the soil,
and much Of the best energy and the
best talent that should find adequate
employment and satisfactory COM
pensation in skilled farming is at
tracted by the get-rich glitter Of tariff
protected schemes. Mr.. Hill is doing
we'll to give warning Of the condition
that is coming upon US unless we
mend our ways, and the way in
which we should mend ought to be
impressed by other powerful voices
as well.

Give This o Trial.

Every little while we read in the
paper that someone has run a rusty
nail in his foot or other portion of
his body, and lockjaw results there
from and the patient died. If every
person was aware of perfect reme-
dy for such wounds and would ap-
ply it, then such reports would cease.
The -remedy lis simple, always at
hand. can be applied by anyone
what is better. it is infallible. 1t
is simply to smoke the wound or
any wound that is bruised or in
famed with a woolen cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke will take the
pain out of the worst case of inflam-
nation arising from such a wound.
People may sneer at this remedy as
much as they please. but when they
are afflicted with such wounds, let
them try it.

Religious Sentiment Growing.

The pessimists who have loudly
proclaimed that this IS a goddess
and churchless nation get no comfort
from the United States religious
census for 1906, just issued. Nearly
33.0OO,O00 church members, being
3s.1 per cent of the population, as
against a little over 22,000,O0O mem
bers representing 32.7 per cent O..
the population in 1890 does not look
as if the American people have lost
faith in God or are living unright-
eous lives. Of course some Of this
membership is mot working much
at it," as the boy said Of the man
whose practice did not square with
his profession, but that has always
been the case. 1t is also true that
much OF this membership is not reg
ularly attendant at church services.
Yet allowing for all this the fact re-
mains that the religious sentiment of
the people is strong and steadily
increasing.
