JUDGING BY IMPRESSIONS
Like a Man by His Clothes,
a City Is Judged by
Lights.

A man is judgedsby the clothes he
wears, the house he lives in, the BUSH
ness in which he is engaged. He
creates the impression that he makes;
therefore, the impression is an index
of his character.
So, too, city is judged by impress
sions. 1t mayIhave the finest climate
in the world; it may be fortunately sit
uated near rivers and railways; it may
have every natural advantage thats a
business man may desire. Yet, i'll it
be unattracJlve, dirty and gloomy,s It's
development will be slow. Wheni it
does develop, the first impetus will be
given by changing its appearance for
the better; and in that change street.
lighting will play an important part.

HEATING WON NINE
 STRAIGHT GAMES
Clever Lawrence TwirIer but 19 Years
 Old,

Ray Heating, whose work in the box for Lawrence has placed him at the head of the New England league pitch CTS this season, is in his 18th year. He came to Lawrence from Bridgeport at the opening of the season last year, having been taken on by the veteran, Jimmy Rourke.
 Heating was given a tryout by Man ager Pieper and Lawrence, then having a surfeit of pitchers, turned him over to Knotty Lee of the Hamilton club of the Canadian league. His work with that club gave evidence that he was a conner, and when Lawrence wanted him back toward the end of the season the Hamilton management refused to surrender him. The case went to the national commission, whose decision was in Lawrence's favor.
 Heating came into the limelight early this year when he held the Providence team of the International league to two hits in eight innings, striking out eight. His victory in Worcester. Sat urday, when there was a great battle between him and Van Dyke, was his ninth, both pitchers having been tied up to then without the loss of a game. He shut out Worcester without a hit. His record follows:
 April 24. Lawrence 6, Fall River O; April 30, Lawrence 5, Fall River g.; May 8, Lawrence 8, Lowell 4; May ', Lawrence 10, Haverhill 6; May Il, Lawrence 4, Lowell 2; May IS, Law renee 2. Lowell 1 (12 inn1ngs) May 32, Lawrence 2, Lynn l; May 25, Lawrence l, Worcester 0.
 In these games there have been 269 men at the bat; IT runs have been made, A hits, 57 strlkeouts, and he has given 16 bases on balls. April 26 Heating pitched one inning against New Bedford when Lawrence won, 8 to 2

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
QUOTATIONS DROP.
Liquidation and Short Selling Force
 Prices Down,


 New York. May 29,--The stock mar ket today awakened from it's torpor of the early days of the week and be- came decidedly more animated, but at the expense of quoted values. A com- bInation of liquidation and short sell ing, influenced perhaps by unfavora- ble railroad earnings, caused a sudden reversal from the steadiness of the opening, By noon practically every leading issue was selling considerably under yesterdays lowest prices.
 Pressure continued to center around the coal shares with evident unload ing of such issues as Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Kansas City Southern common and preferred, and Chicago 6 Alton, these receding from two to four points, with concurrent weakness in allied properties. Readings decline was ascribed to the company's poor statement for April, which reflected the effects of the prolonged anthra- cite strike by a combined net decrease for the railroad and it's subsidiaries of S1,365,000, while the Erie system for the same period reported a loss of almost $700,000. On the other hand, Canadian Pacific, which rose almost four points at the opening, showed a IGL Gd4u dPpAOA4LALNCly Ol 9I.VVVtUVU for April and Northern Pacific and Central of Georgia also made good returns. The setback in the securi- ties of the southwestern roads, which went so far as to affect some of the bonds seemed to have it's origin in the belief that the recent floods in the Mississippi valley affect the revenues of the lines traversing that stricken territory.
 Such prominent industrials as Unit ed States Steel, Amalgamated Copper and American Smelling felt the force of the early decline to the extent of a point, but support in these issues seemed better than in the railroads mentioned. Before the afternoon ses- sion had proceeded far, the list mani fested a tendency to make some re- covery, but dullness supervened, and the better tone then gave way to an indefinite drift, which continued to the last half-hour when Union Pacific, Steel. Can, and few other prominent stocks made full recovery to the ac- compartment of an inert close.
 Monetary conditions here inclined to greater f1rmness today, especially in the long maturities. Losses of local banks to the sub treasury thus far lllS WEEK are Lut4y lNLC6 dS large dS q week ago. A broader market for com rnercial paper was noted with increas- ing purchases by New England insti- tutions. Berlin made no further de- mands on this market. the scene hav- ing shifted to, Paris, according to statements of international bankers
 London was a buyer here of abou: 25,000 shares on the carly decline, pur- Chases embracing Steel Amalganated Union Pacific and some miscellaneous issues. There is no little anxiety in Lcndon in connection with the coming settlement, the carry over" for Amer jeans ranging from to per cent.
