FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL

New York. Nov. 25.-Trading in the stock exchange today was again rela- lively dull and professional, there be- ing little evidence of the public par lieipation which succeeded the recent Kcaction.
 - The market drifted aimlessly but mainly upward, especially among those issues which experienced the greatest shrinkage in the several H- quidating movements of the past fortnight.
 There were exceptions to the ad- vance. Of which rails. coppers and local utilities were the most conspic- uous examples. Reasons for the backwardness of these groups were so obvious as to excite little comment.
 Easy money, reduced tension in the foreign exchange situation and other factors which served in the price re- adjustment of the last few days were again operative, but in more moderate degree.
 Advices touching upon the course of the coal conference at Washington were less hopeful in tenor, but the various coal carrying shares reflected this only in minor measure.

 (rHaS raininS), And this Was her vail. as she wicked -s the broom: Oh. life. is toll and love $ a trouble, And beauty will fade, and riches will flee; ~ e- .And pleasures they dWindle, and prices And nothing is what could wish it
 to be. There's too much of worriment goes to There's toe much of ironing goes to
 a shirt; There's nothing that pays for the time
 wasted on 1t.
 There's nothing that lasts but
 trouble and dirt. In March it is mud. 1t is slush in De And midsummer's. breezes are lader In fall the leaves litter, in mugg, The wallpaper rots and the hatiron. rust. There are. worms in the cherries, and slugs in the roses, And ants. in the sugar, and mice ir the pies: The rubbish of spiders. no mortal sup. poses,
 And ravaging reaches. and dana giAa dies. It is sweeping at six. and dusting al seven, It is victuals at eight. and dishes al nine: It is pottins and banning from ten to eleven,
 We scarce break our fast till we plan how to dine. With grease and with litter from out | side to center >, Forever at war and forever alert; No rest for day, lest the enemy I spend my whole time in struggle
 with dirt. Last night in my dreams I was sta On a hare little kle in the midst of | the sea; My one chanre for life was a ceaseless
 endeavor
 To sweep off the waves as they swept 1 over me.
 Alas! twas no dream, again I behold I yield. I am helpless my fate to She rolled down her sleeves, her apron
 she folded.
 Then laid down and died. and was .I buried in dirt.
