From the Polkville Weekly Clarion.
From Puck,


Not one marriage license, we regret to
say, has been issued in this county since
the tenth Of last month.
Our maidens, we believe, are ready
TO yield to persuasion. Dan Cupid seems
striving as bravely as ever. The birds
have mated and are Boosting Of their
broods with joyous song. The grocery
stores are bullying with rice. and the
furniture emporium is full Of cradles.
Our clergymen are beginning to look
anxious. and the justice of the peace is
positively lank. And yet the SWANS of
our busy burg hum and haw and hest
tate. Can II be that these lazy laborers
in lifes vineyard viii persist in loafing
and hanging back until at the eleventh
hour our maids and also our comely
widows will be forced to go out into the
highways and hedges and compel them
TO come in?
Wedding cards and Invitations at this
office.

Trading in Steel Heavy.

Trading in the metal stocks dominated

the morning. Transactions in United
States Steel again reached heavy pro-
portions, and the copper stocks. after
remaining comparatively inactive for
months. once more took prominent
position in speculation. Extensive SELL
ing which depressed the market in the
early trading was largely due to realiz-
ing. following yesterdays abrupt rise,
although the steel shares were sub
jected to pressure from the bears. The
tone of speculation visibly improved in
the second hour. and there was a smart
advance
The movement had it's inception in the

active railroads. Amalgamated Copper.
