THE OLD HOMESTEAD


Though we may get beyond our four
score years;
Have had many troubles. sorrows and
tears.
We cannot forget we we're born and
fed
In the dearest. dear home. the old
homestead.
o. the toll OF life, with it many cares.
With the aching heart and the teemlng
snares;
But oft in the lull our minds will bo
led.
To our childhood life in the old home
stead.
We can never forget the noise and
mlrth.
When gathered around the old-fashion-
ed hearth;
Watching the sparkling fire. SO often
fed.
In that dear kitchen Of the old home
stead.
Why do we iinger DER joys that arc
past?
Life has rich blessing that ever shall
last:
And why should memory so often be
wed
To our childhood's home-the old home
stead?
The place may be shorn of its former
grace,
And gone. full many a familiar face.
And yet you know It has often been
said,
There's nb place on earth like the old
homektead.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, May 20-The reaction in
the late stock market today had no other
explanation than the seeming exhaustion
of the powerful upward movement.
The morning dealings showed animation
and great strength prices of some of the
favorite speculative issues rising to record
figures
United states Steel had never sold at so
before nor had Southern Pacific ever sold
at 124k until today. Readings rise to
159% placed 1t at the highest price since
January of 1906 and Union Pacihc got PACK
to the highest level of the present year.
Best prices for the year were touched, IN
fact, by number of important STOCKS. Inc
halt to this prosperous course or the mar
ket came after the action upon the harrl-
man dividends was announced, although
Mr.. Hartman stated before entering the
board room that the rates would probably
be unchanged. The weakness OF tne ila arr,
man stocks however, was no greater than
that of Chesapeake and Ohio after the
declaration of the l per cent quarterly oiNl-
dend that stock. 49,

imminent but 1t off today with the
ful1llment of the prediction. Inc Ake
movement in these two cases with contrast

that another cause was at work. The sell
ing OF United states Steel at so seemed 70
be taken as a signal for profit taking on
large scale.
Conner rose in price at the local metal
exchange Recognized authorities gave nat
terlng accounts of winter wheat during the
last week and of the high satisfactory
progress Of the spring wheat showing ana
of the early condition of the plant Ther9
was some ground for supposing that large
orders in the market yesterday and early
today were designed to safeguard prices
against any possible shock caused by the
sudden death yesterday of H. II. Rogers.
These supporting orders may have been
withdrawn with the demonstration of the
fact that they were not needed to protect
the market on that account. London's pur-
chsses of stocks here and further engage
ments of gold for shipment to Argentina
had no marked effect on the foreign ex-
change market. Time money rates were
still inclined to yield.

CHICAGO May 20-May wheat closed at
81 80, the top price on the crop. There was no
important trading in that month. however
There was strong early advance in the July
and September options Later in the session
there was enough selling by leading mouse
to put the July price back about lie from the
high and there was a rally in the month
toward the close. Trade is impressed with the
numerous adverse crop reports coming in from
the other side. Southern Russia is stu so dry
that the crop is threatened Onicial reports
this morning gave conditions of winter wheat
in Prussia at Ga compared with so year ago
and condition of rye is also low. These foreign
conditions together with low supplies repotred,
especially in Germany, suggest that foreigners
will be forced to come to this side FOR larger
quantities of wheat the coming season.
While some improvement is noted in condl-
lions of growing crop over portion OF the
winter wheat belt, the harvest is sure to be
short and late. Stocks of wheat are decreasing
in all quarters. Mills are buying durum ana
velvet chafr wheat in the northwest because
the regular spring wheat stocks are in strong
hands and ali needed by millers before there
is another spring wheat harvest Sales of cash
wheat here today reported SO,OOO bushels, IN
Guiding cargo of No. hard for shipment TO
Buffalo which sold at May price in store.
Argentine shipments for the week are esti-
mated at about one-third of those of last year.
Acute situation in local corn supplies caused
the May to jump to lac this morning. Local.
receipts were 9S cars Strong wheat market
also helped the early advance Liverpool was
nc higher. Weather conditions are perfect for
the new crop. The acreage is greatly increased
Shipping demand is slack. Chicago is sure to
accumulate corn in the near future. Estimated
cars for tomorrow are 191 We still feel that
It will be profitable to make sales for late
months strong swells.
oats proved about the strongest in the grain
list today. September was well bought during
the morning by a group of strong active con-
Germs The market ruled firm and higher, al
though shipping sales were small, at 10000
bushels
Excellent local buying during the morning
advanced the prices of all products, but there
was some selling in sympathy with the easier
grain markets last hour and portion OF the
advance was lost Those who take a long
range view of the market friendly to the
huving side of the product.
