Authors Contest Concluded
With Praises for the Puzzle

~ HE contest closed this week in a
blaze of glory-that is everybody
came in with a fine and dandy
solution and almost everybody
had something nice to say about the
puzzle and its author.
I think. II I remember rightly. that
there was not so much as one adverse
comment. although some puzzlers did
have a discussion about the matter of
comparisons being 'Odious" or 'odor-
Ous''
SomebOdy tells me that Shakespeare
declares that comparisons are "odor-
GUS" OF course, we all know from
experience that they are odious. but IT
did not come as a matter OF news
that they were also odorous. However.
If Shakespeare said so I suppose we
win all be willing TO take his word

The Markets
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. June 2s.-The parallel specu--
lation in stocks and in wheat showed
evidence today of a realizing movement
in the sense of buying of stocks to cover
shorts and of profit taking sales in wheat,
The hesitation developed on the reaction
airy price movements resulting from this
action was an index of the start of doubt
whether the wider speculative adjustment
had eliminated on only paused. The
large influence on the course of the mar
kets played by the crop situation in the
Northwest does not admit of doubt.
There was much attention paid in the
financial district to the constant esti-
mates current of the amount of damage
already done to spring wheat and the
consequences to be expected to railroad
traffic and general business activity in
the sections affected. Officials of the rail
road admit the fact of the damage done
by the drought, but pronounce the reports
of it exaggerated for speculative effect.
Crop reports. aside from the spring wheat
damage. are favorable as whole. espe-
cially for the corn and winter wheat

but the tone was somewhat tirmer, in
spite of the heavy liquidation that has
been going on in the stock market One
of the surmises over the cause of the
weakness of stocks is that some long
standing speculative accounts have been
forced out by lenders of money on col
lateral. who are DESTROYS of keepinc
liquid assets in hand for the fall money
requirements. The days small net
changes are due to the covering move

The separation of the wholesale and
