These episodes. picturesque and

premiership that To artists at least
will not seem Il difficult one. All
through Paul Cezanne's life may be
said To be typical artists life. He
was mot mad. unless an inability TO
think ar feel life except il BE- ex-
pressed in terms OF art be a madness
HE was complete artist.
The question of his special contri-
button to modern art may be left for
another time. The question of the
cnnfu>ion> Of the critics may make a
fitting pendant Ia il. There iS no
hurry at all about classifying the ar
tlst. His epoch coincided with that
of the ImpressionlSts. For time he
was associated with them. Later he
detached himself from the union

10 me what he shall be labelled. IL
Suftices thar he is genius and the
father of modern art.
Before ending this slight notice IL
should be added that Vollards work
has been excellent. The roughness
| Of his style brings the subject out all
the more vividly. After all in the last
analysis the subject himself was
rough. Emile Bernard's phrases are
more polished, and one has the CRATE
full sense that Bernard adapted him
self 10 the difficult Cezanne with ex.
quisite tact, but in Vollard's picture
there IL more red blood. The dia.
logues OF ZOla with moi" and Ce.
zanne with moi are amusingly like
pages in George Borrow. There are
more than these resemblances 10 BOr

in Paris nowr asked Cezanne, well

pretty poorr"
1t IL quite true the neighbors were
callous, for the neighbors were more
than passing ignorant, and It Is true
that Cezanne scarcely appeared to be
aware Of what was most admirable
In his painting. for eeniuses In all the
arts are seldom the best judges Of
their own work, but It does not ap-
pear that he was particularly mad. or
was ever very far from public
scrutiny. There seems always to have
been some one believing In hin.
At the first there was Zola for q
boyish friend The ZOla episodes
are charmingly real and strangely
pathetic. One would be tempted to
call the ZOla chapters documents"

likely that ZOla In the future must
play second TO Ceznnne. Zola found
romantic attachment to Cezan nne
nnd n third youth, Baptistin Baille,
who was equally ambitions. and read

who gave Cezanne the pull toward

the stage to the Montross-K Knoedler

selves with those who say this painter
eciipses Rembrandt or with those who
insist that his art Is a revolving pre-
tence.
Fortunately there are other :heips"
for inQuirers than the exhibitions.
Certain books and pamphlets about
the strange painter have arrived upon
these shores and are now available
In the public libraries. tn not they

In the bOOkshops.) The books give
many Of the facts OF the mans life,
and are 81 interesting that they will
be considered valuable even by such
cOnnoisseurs as do not as yet admit
Cezanne's genius. These assistances
are, however. only for those who

That those who have natural
repugnance for Cezanne's style will
be able to overcome IL by q study Of
the works now on view Is not at all
sure Pronounced feelings Of that
kind yield, In my opinion. only in con-
frontation with extreme crystalliza-
tons Of style-with the self-explain-
ing masterpieces Of which each ar
tist produces but few. The life Of
Jean Francois Millet. which may now
be seen In clear perspective, yields
on instance. His peasants were as
brutal, as untrue. as insane, as in
sincere as Cezanne's are now until
suddenly the "Angelus" made its ap-
penrance. There was no reply to
that.
II was q great picture. Suddenly
there was q sharp interchange Of
bids, and we read In the newspapers
that n had sold for 900 francs, Q
then unheard Of price. After that

This impression was not dissipated

Nevertheless In the reported re-
marks of both Zola and Cezanne 1t Is
easy Ia see that In spite Of the sep
aration there was basis Of affection
that each guarded for the other.
When CeZanne heard Of ZOla's
death he shut himself up oil day with
his grief and when he spoke OF him
years afterward the tears came to his
eyes. The real tragedy was that
Zoln died without discovering that his
bOyish estimation Of Cezanne's genius
was the cnrrect one. His adult Opin-
ion was that still held by the philis-
tines: "Cezanne hal the genius Of a
great painter, hut not the talent to
become one" But then ZOla's optn-
ion upon matters Of art, as poor Paul
Cezanne observed, are worthless.
What will prove astonishing to the
public, however, In vOllard's book Is
the picture Of Cezanne's student days
with the unavoidable conclusion that
even to his fellows Of the atelier the
young painter was hero. Part of
his popularity may have been due to
the fact that he had an allowance
from his parents, and always had In
his pockets something with which to
pay for n friends dinner; but art
students are not entirely time servers,
and m amount Of pocket money pro-
duces the reputation OF genius among
them.

into the official Salon Of 1888. how
ever, he happened not to be "fush"
and did not have sufficient sous to
pay a commissiOnaire. So bFavely

and, with the aid Of complacent

WEEKS TRADE REVIEWS
BREATHE OPTIMlSM
More Points of Activity than OF
Duluess Noted.

The commercial agencies in their re-
views of the week take note OF con-
tinued optimism regarding trade, IN
dustry and crops.
"Bradstreet's" says:
about the only discordant notes are
heard from storm-swept sections OF the
Southeast. where, naturally, trade has
been set back pending rehabilitation.
But over the larger part of the country
trade, now large, is increasing, and Is
likely TO grow still further. while never
before have seasonal influences made
for so little recession. Fall orders are
satisfactory, interior merchants are dis-
posed to buy freely, and as there are
fears that numerous lines Of textiles
may not be available when wanted mer-
chants in some sections are becoming
concerned about goods arriving at the
scheduled time. However, buying for
periods beyond the fall months IS
marked by more or less conservatism,
dictated by uncertainty regarding the
situation Of far future prices, TINS at
titudc being accompanied, nevertheless,
by doubts as TO whether conservatism
is really the better course TO follow
r. G.. Dun & Co. say:
Contrary to the usual experience at
this season, there are many more points
of activity than Of dulness in the gem
eral situation. Business continues re-
markably full during the period when
il ordinarily shows the greatest shrink
age. current reports adding TO the ac..
emulation of superlatives with regard
to trade, industry and transportation.
While in some important lines, notably
in steel and leather, foreign demands
are again the overshadowing feature, it
is not because of any lack Of confidence
that domestic buying has abated. Many
interests here, having already covered
their requirements we'll ahead, natur-
ally proceed more slowly in extending
commitments further, and this spirit Of
conservatism, manifest throughout the
country, is most reassuring in its bear
ing on the future"

Loss of Gold Explains the
Raising of the Bank
Rate.
CROP PROSPECTS
MUCH IMPROVED
Perfect Weather Heightens Ex-
pectations for a Big
Harvest.
By FRANCIS w. HIRST.


London, July 21.-Under various
influences the City is rather more
cheerful after the considerable
amount of liquidation effected. The
bank return with its loss of gold ex-
plains last weeks raising of the
bank rate, but Chancellor Nc
Kennas explanation that the ne
cessity of the governments spending
f6 100000 a day is due to American
security purchases and heavier
loans, coupled with the hope of a
speedy return to normal conditions,
has relieved the anxiety Of an ex-
cessive public expenditure. More
over, the steady progress made on
the Western front increases the eX-
pectation of decisive events which
NAV expedite favorable peace set
tlement.
The outstanding borrowings of the
government on short term securities,
as given out yesterday by the Secre-
tary for the Treasury, are as fol-
lows: Treasury bills, S4,05S,28O,O 900; {;
five per cent Exchequer bonds,
s1,475,000,00O; war expenditure
certificates, s6O,O00,O0O; war savings
certificates, S52,5OO,0OO; currency
notes, s62 100000.
The Parliamentary atmosphere is
very critical just now, especially con-
cerning Mesopotamia and Ireland.
The governments first actual defeat
in lobby came over the question Of
providing land for the soldiers in
Wales.
The problem of who shall vote at
the general election seems almost
insoluble.
A policy of postponement probably
will prevail. Weather conditions
are now perfect and will greatly i'm
prove all crops, including the hay
harvest in the northern countries.
