We cannot help admiring the
men and women who place the
welfare OF the community side by
side with their own. To our mind
they are GOOD CITIZENS. and
the town or countryside ia blessed
by their presence. We have such
citizens many OF them -- here
abouts. and you find them always
giving the local business man the
benefit Of the doubt. the first cp.
portunity Of making a sale. II the
local dealer has the article they
want at n fair price they prefer 10
buy ii from him. knowing full well
that In buying from him they are
enhancing the welfare OF themselves,
the dealer, and the whole commun-
ily. They are constant readers OF
the advertisements in the lncsl
paper. and by this pre- ice they
know where best 10 find that which
they seek before they go out to buy
And then there are some citizens
who are not Of this class, who make
a regular practice OF getting stung
by sending their cash to the foreign
dealer who values their money and
not them. They are citizens, too,
but not as good as the GOOD cit.

Who Pays the Tax?

the honest poor paying the bulk Of
the taxes. Here Is one man. a
renter, that tolls in an official and
professional capacity early and late
and life has melted out but meager
competence, yet he pays a personal
tax Of 5000. Here are four others

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.
GOVERNMENT BONDS

CHICAGO. May 8.-Rushes to sell
wheat today resulted in sharp declines.
Prices. however. did not become de-
moralized. Fear as to disturbing eff
fects on export trade as a result of the
sinking of the Lusitania was a leading
influence. The bearish Washington
crop report counted also against the
bulls. Opening quotations were / to 8
cents lower, but the market gradually
steadied at a moderate reaction from
the bottom side of the initial range.
Corn weakened with wheat. There
was sufficient buying on the part of
shorts. though. to keep losses within
ordinary limits. The opening. which
varied from 4 to l down, was fol-
lowed by slight general rally.
Oats took the same course as other
grain. The bearish action of the mar
ket nevertheless was not so decided as
in the case of wheat or corn.
Provisions suffered from liquidating
sales by holders. The chief reason ap-
peared to be the fall in the value of
cereals.
Later the corn market sagged again.
but showed relative strength in view
of the tumble in wheat. The close was
fairly steady at MaA to Is net decline.

BREAK IN THE STOCKS
FROM z TO 10 POINTS
News of the Sinking of the Lusi-
tania Provokes General
Liquidation.
United States Steel Center of Heavy
Selling-Many Issues Fully Re-
cover Before Closing Hour.

NEW YORK. May 8, 1890 am
Prices broke to 10 points in today's
early dealings on the stock exchange,
overnight developments in connection
with the sinking Of the Lusitania provok-
ing general liquidation. United States
Steel was the center of a heavy SELL
ing movement. $4,000 shares being Of
fered at maximum concession of 2h
points. A block Of 5000 Westinghouse
changed hands at loss of to 10
points. Reading. Union Pacific, Cana
dian Pacific and Metal stocks lost 2
to points.
Recoveries Noted.
What looked like concerted support
was seen soon after the opening, full
recoveries being scored by Amalga-
mated Copper, American Smelling and
Mexican Petroleum.
Other international stocks like Union
Pacific and Steel reduced their losses to
fractions.
transactions in the first half hour
were estimated at between 400 900 and
500, 900 shares.
Enmistakable proof of its underly
ing soundness in the face of adverse
conditions was offered by the stock
market during today's two-hour ses-
sion. Declines of to 10 points resulted
mainly from heavy selling orders
which came from nervous stockhold-
ers. holders Of weakened accounts and
bear pressure.
Turning Of the Tide.
Before the end of the first half hour
most of these losses had been largely
retrieved and some actual gains were
made. The tide turned as soon as 1t
became manifest that substantial f1nan-
cial interests were not only supporting
the market. but buying for investment
as well. Prices shaded point or
ings. The closing was irregular. Bonds
were heavy.
Weekly Market Summary.
NEW YORK, May s-News OF the
sinking of the Lusitania shook the
stock market to Its very center yester-
day after four days of irregularity and
relative dizziness. Early days of the
week had been given over very largely
to considerations growing out of the
war and the new complications in the
far east, but these affected quoted val
ues only in minor degrees as compared
with what followed on the heels of the
disaster to the British liner.
Prices crumbled from to 80 points in
many important shares. Bethlehem
Steel and other war contract" spe-
cialties scoring the most severe losses.
to the accompaniment of such excite
ment as had not been witnessed since
the exchange reopened.
Some very substantial recoveries from
lowest prices were made before the
market closed. but the feeling in fnan-
cial circles was one of extreme depres-
sion. The many losses incurred by
Yesterdays collapse resulted mainly
from over extended accounts on the
bull side, particularly in the specialties
mentioned.
Under normal conditions the govern
