 NEW YORK. May 23.-The stock market has been working upward through conflicting conditions Sur face appearances are decidedly un- settling. Chief of these is politics Not a few experienced financial lead CTS view the new political ideas which are being so vehemeGtly disCLssed with more or less apprehension: the sharp personalities of the C.Gn! aign adding to this distrusr. A.cther source of uneasiness is the incl cas- ing social unrest manifested ln var i"us ways. but chiefly in the grow ing demands of labor, which mean a further increase in the cost cf Iiy- ing and which will inevitably be re- fIected in continued political discon- tent. Many of the congressional in tcstigatiOns appear to have this mo- tive behind them: and the poll. icians could hardly be expected to pass by such admirable ammunition with an election so close at hand. r iS use less to expect this sort oi agitation to stop until the convrnGCns are over and it becomes eviden- which party is likely to succeed at the polls next November The campaign is growing in intensity each week, and business men must learn to take it's ebullitions more calmly.

TANGENT TYPES OF MEN'

Those who are unacquainted with the science Of anthropology and the progress it has made in comparative Iy recent years may find an uneX pected interest in a little volume which has been recently added to the series called "Harpers Library of Living Thought" The book, which is entitled Ancient Types of Man" is by Arthur Keith, NJ D., IL. D, con servator of the Museum, Royal Col lege of Surgeons.
 Professor Keith tells fasclnating story of the discoveries of the re mains of prehistoric man. and he is able to give ,a surprisingly clear idea of how the men of very ancient times looked in life. Anatomical science gives far more information than one would think possible. It can tell the age, muscular develop ment. probable degree of intelligence of the ancient men whose skeletons have been unearthed, whether or not they could talk what kind of food they lived upon, and many other matters of interest. Geology gives the approximate period in which each specimen of prehistoric man lived
 Reversing the chronological order the author begins with the skeleton of d British woman discovered on the coast of Essex in England Geo. logical evidence gives the time when this woman lived as about four thousand years ago. She belonged to the late Neoithis or early Bronze Age. and yet. with her relatively small, welI-poised head and regular features. this woman, where she to appear in modern assembly, would still pass as a good representative of her sex and race" Still more signifi- cant as showing the great antiquity of the modern type of mankind is the

There are three months ahead. however be- fore the harvest. during which time there is abundant Opportul:'H for ire- provement. Fortunately the crop con ditions in other parts of the world have been more satisfactory, so there will be less occasion for extreme prices for grain in the Cnted States, should our crops not prove abundant. Europe may easily take less wheat tiran usual, but will want our cotton in large quantities. This year busi- ness will be more sensitive to crop conditions than usual The high prices of food make large crops ab- soluteIy essential to keeping down popular discOntent. the chief national grievance today being the high cost of food products Our farmers cer- tainly are enjoying exceptional pros perity, and every inducement exists for their raising as large crops as possible The farmers however. are feeling the labor question in an em- barrassing manner, often finding it impossible to secure a sufficient number of hands Our great cities are suffering from COngested pOpula- ton, vet strange to say; many re

 The recent advance in stocks has been effected by strong and clever manipulation. When that ceases the market is likely to recede, especially as a considerable distribution of stocks
 has been already effected. Our rail-
 roads are making more satisfactory
 returns of earnings, indicating q
 growing traffic. The railroad labor
 problem is still unsettled, lvinG gone to arbitration, which means that
 the country is saved from the dis
 turbance and distraction of a great railroad strike. The coal trade dis
 pute is also being settled by similar means. In fact the one hopeful fea- ture in the labor situation is the tendency for settling such differences by argument and reason rather than by dictatiOn and force. Many con- sessions have been made to labor in various directions. the effect of which should be to create more annie cable conditions on both sides.
 Many of the industrial shares have | shown considerable strength because
 of the partial revival of the steel in dustry. This is particularly true of i the Steel securities; that industry ! having for several weeks enjoyed record breaking activity. Liberal or ders are still being placed for steel 1 by the railroads and for commercial 1 buildings. Prices are showing a stiffening tendency, so that the Vlri- i ous steel producing concerns should i show better profits during the second l quarter than Were possible during
 the first. when the lowest prices in l many years prevailed. Our foreign
