Kittins and Cats.

No matter how small a littin is, it will be a cat if it waits long enuf. This proves that all eats used to be Wen a cat has kttins it genreHy has sevrel at once, being more of a ser prize than if it ony had one, even if it wasent Mpected to have eny.
 A cat has lives, most cats being pritty recl1liss the ferSt or on ac- count of knowing there more coming. If you see g. eat setting and looking at a dog with @ fresh Impression you know it prober1y because its got more than one life left and don't half to be carefiH yet
 Kittins are more plaIyfin than cats If you hold up a peece of string to a kittirl, it will chase it all erround in- joy1aIbly, but if you hold peece oi string to a cat, it will jest set there and look at you as if it was wonder ing why you don't chase it erround yourself if you wunt it chased CT round.
 Kittins don't open their eyes for days, and wen they do some are ser prized and some aint, depending or wat they ixpected to see. | Cats hate wattir verse than eny, thing, and their sensations must ht fearse wen sunnbody drownds then in it.
 Wen cats are mad they put the mid de of the.r back up, their favor1t' food is fish and milk, their voice i:

those of private market observers. Remarkable returns for export trade made public during the past week show that, however it may be ex- plained, our foreign business con tinues to advance, both in quantity and value. How it is being financed is a question that is open to discus sion and has received no little atten- ton, but the fact remains that the trade is going on. We are, in fact, financing Europe and our efforts in that direction are noc proving by any means unsuccessful, as the condition of sterling exchange shows. During the past week sterling has been con sistently not far from $3.S5 while the decline of francs and lire has been checked, and these currencies have begun to show a somewhat greater resisting power. Although Great Britain shows the greatest power of recovery the improvement is by no means confined to her, a fact which the market is beginning to show in it's greater appreciation of the best foreign securities.
 Market Review and Outlook.
 Market conditions during the week have shown some ability to resist pressure, notwithstanding a break on Wednesday and professional "bear" reductions on Thursday. Chief in terest has, of course, centered about Reading. The decision has created q.
 very mixed opinion as to just what
 will be done with regard to un-
 scrambling the Reading properties If l they are to be thoroughly segregated I it might be necessary to call in the company's general mortgage and Jer-
 sey Central collateral bond issues,
 which would be a very large under | ting under present conditions Most people agree, however, that the de- cision has paved the way for cutting | the long talked of "meIon," which
 has been discussed as a possibility for the last dozen years, which would benefit the New York Central and Baltimore & Ohio as owners of large blocks of Reading stock The floor traders have not yet fully thrown off noticeable as the week drew to a close ithat they were not so free in putting out short sales. Considering that May l is close at hand, when the
 spring rise generally loses force, it is not to be expected that another big
 bull movement is in sight at this | time; but considering the shrinkage that has taken place it is reasonable
 to suppose that many holders o1
 stocks will not be willing to part
 with them until prices have more fully recovered and no doubt rallies
 will occur from time to time.
