the reason why some OF the granite

boring cities and towns do not 20 up in

for the purpose, while Others come back
with the declaration that Montpelier
hasn't the energy to go after the indus

left out the simple matetr OF the per-
sonal preference Of the men with the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SOME RECOVERY.
Dealings, Which Were Not Insisnifi cant, Entirely in Traders Hands.

New York, May 27.--The stock mar ket today was relieved from specula- tive liquidation in Reading, which proved the depressing factor yesterday. This opened the way to some recovery. The dealings were almost entirely in the hands of traders, and were not significant. The Gould group of rail- road properties were conspicuously strong. The advance was attributed to steps in the working out of the financial plan known to be maturing for several months. Confidence in this was indirectly affected bv the an- nouncement of the sale of Erie collat- eral notes, which will obviate the ne- cessity of resorting to the bond issue for which authority was obtained with difficulty, from the New York public service commission. The Erie securi- ties were all benefited by this an- nouncement. The feeling regarding the grain crop position was distinctly im- proved. The better reports concerning the crops made operators long of stocks less disinclined to hold them over the Approaching three day holi- day. The passing of the holiday inter- val will bring the financial world to the June first money settlements. Call loans tomorrow will carry over the fol- lowing Tuesday; the first of the month. It was rsckoned that some effect might be produced on the money market by this combination of factors. No such effect was discernible today. Chicago is reported to be lending money in New York and the rate for time loans over the year end has fallen to 1-2 per cent. under this influence. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $4.- 1000.

HOT RACE COMING
 BETWEEN HARVARD-coRNELL
Crimson Has BoatfuI of Veteran oars-
 men.

Harvard's varsity crew, from which so much is expected this year. is now at Ithaca, prepared for a hard. close race Monday with the Cornell oarsmen. Harvard's crew, when rowing It's best, is unquestionably fast, and it knows how to race and how to race hard over the full distance. Her chances for beating Cornell seem good, but there is ligely to be very close, hard con- test.
 This is the fifth consecutive year that Harvard and Cornell have had A two mile race. The first race was an easy win for Cornell. The next two races were more closely contested. Harvard approaching nearer to Cornelfs stand ard each year. until last year Harvard scored the biggest victory of all The series stands, however, three to one in Cornelrs favor.
 Since the end of the rowing season last year 1t has been apparent that Wray would have the best material this season that he has ever had dur ing his five years at Harvard. Sar- gent, Waid, Bacon, Faulkner. Lunt and Elliott Cutler all rowed in last year s varsity crew. and the two new men, Wilmington and Roger Cutler rowed on the winning freshman crew,
 Sargent is rowing as smoothly and with the same clock like precision that he showed last year. and seems to have acquired tffis season, with his perfect rhythm. a. certain amount of dash which was lacking last year.

self. was No. T. Waid is a good oar and rows well at No. ', but he does not have the same effect on the men behind him that Richardson had. He follows Sargent excellently, however, and helps Sargent run the stroke up and down without any violent shift in good style.
 Roger Cutler, at six, Wilmington five, Bacon four, and Faulkner three are an heavy. strong men, well fitted for the waist of the boat. Captain Cutler at bow and Lunt at No. 2, are also ideal men for their positions, rowing smooth ly and at the same time with a good deal of power. The crew is still fur ther strengthened by having an excel lent coxswain. This is Biagden's fourth year with thea tiller ropes of the var sity crew. and he can tell pretty quick ly when there is something wrong in the boat. and his suggestions have been of great help to Coach Wray.
