New York, May Fl, 1910.
Inertia is the chief obstacle to inn
provement in the stock market at
this time. Activity has been check
ed by various considerations, not the
least of which was the temporary
cessation of business in London out
of respect to the memory of King
Edward The delay in placing our
bonds in Europe also had a lettering
effect. Continued cool weather in all
sections of the country and conse'
crops was another element which put
a damper upon inordinate optimism.
There is also general slackenlng
up in business which seems to be ex-
tending. Commodity prices had reach
ed a prohibitive point, and now that
downward reaction has set in buyers
naturally hesitate until satisfied tnat
the decline has reached its limits
REIMBURSEMENT Going On.
There is no question but that re-
adjustment to a lower basis is going
on in industrial and mercantile at
fairs, REIMBURSEMENT that will prove
highly beneficial and pave the way
for renewed activity at a later date.
Unfortunately the country has be-
come so accustomed to high pressure
activity and advancing prices that 1t
cannot experience any movement in
opposite directions without becoming
unduly discouraged 1t Is a question
if the national business nerve has
not been weakened by too prolonged
prosperity, since it now takes UNI
necesi AIRY fright at the slightest sign
of reaction. 1t has long been insisted
upon in these advices that the coun-
try would be benefited by some sort
of REIMBURSEMENT; our industrial ma
chinery being out of gear because
some portions had advanced much
more rapidly than others. We are
now going through period of this
character in which equilibrium is be-
ing restored. There is no occasion
for undue anxiety and after a PERIOD
of moderate letrenchment we may
look forward to renewed activity,
provided the harvest realizes eXpecta-
lions. AT present the crop outlook
is promising, although containing
spots of disappointment Consider
able injury has unquestionably been
done to wheat in Kansas, but I
should be ofsett by a larger corn
crop The same remarN will apply
to the country as whole. a. larger
acreage of cotton is in prospect, and
1t is still too early to indulge in pes
simistic views regarding any of our
crops. A cool backward spring can
hardly be considered detrimental
when accompanied by adequate mois-
ture, and it should be remembered
that a few warm days will quickly
place the crops upon satisfactory
footing.
Money Improved.

now declining in the interior, and

First Postage Stamps.
The postage stamp made it's first APP
pearance in 1899. Credit for its inven-
ton was due to James Chalmers, a
printer of Dundee who died In 1858
England adopted the adhesive stamp
under royal decree on December 81,
1885, and issued the first one for pub
lie use on May 6. 1870. About
year later the stamp was introduced
into the United States and soon after
ward came into use in Bavaria, Bel
GUM and France.
The machine for perforating sheets
of stamps was invented and patented
by Henry Archer In 1S47. The Eng
lish postal authorities would take no
stock In 1t for some time, but G. =.
Muntz, member Of parliament for
Birmingham, made such firm stand
for its adoption that on August s. 1853.
the house of commons appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of the patent
and soon afterward perforated stamps
came into general use.
