WALL STREET


| New York, May 27.-Business on
the stock exchange today was dun
and perfunctory. a heavy tone pre-
dominating. Professional operators
| availed themselves OF the slim at
tendance due to approaching holt
days TO effect additional depression
of prices. The irregular maneuvers
were accelerated by other develop
ments of an adverse nature. These
included sharp unsettlement in
foreign exchange, continued firm
ness of money rates and the eau
tious or qualified views of leaders
of industry.
The one negatively favorable fea-
ture of the session was the decla-
ration of the regular dividend on
Baldwin Locomotive. This was
without visible effect upon other
equipments or kindred issues.
Declines of one to three points
were registered by majority of
the seasoned as well as volatile is
sues and rails of all classes were
under intermittent pressure. not
excepting the high priced coalers.
Sales amounted to $3.50 shares.
The break in foreign remittances
extended to. cents in sterling bills
and from ten to sixty points in con-
tinental rates. especially Dutch,
French, Belgian. Italian, Swiss,
Spanish and Scandinavian.
For want of more plausible eX-
PLANTATION dealers here ascribed the
reaction in British bills to heavy
selling by German commercial in
terests in London from which CEN
ter large transactions in dollar or
American exchange We're reported.
1t is not unlikely that speculative
operations entered largely into theI
situation.
The money market followed
exactly it's course of the previousl
day, call loans holding at Z per cent
until the final hour when belated
inquiry forced the rate to z la pei
cent.
Changes in the irregular bond
market, including Libertys and
most other domestic issues were
Foreign issues were
inclined to ease. although subscrip- |
tons to the new French loan We're
estimated at 80 per cent of the !
whole. Total sales, par value, SILL

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A NATIONAL CONSEQUENCE OF BoLsHEvIsM
(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)

The report that there eight million typhus
cases in Russia reveals startngly the intolerable
conditions of life under Bolshevist rule Typhus
is disease due primarily to filth. 1t can never
prevail where the laws of sanitation properly
observed. That it should be sweeping wholesale
over Russia is an unanswerable indictment of the
regime which has undone at a stroke the work of
centuries of progress.
Russia was never advanced in sanitation as
most OF the other nations of Europe. But in the
general breakdown of law and order, regulations
designed to protect the health of the community
were naturally the first to go. Indeed, when the
environment of the individual becomes anarchic it
as practically impossible to enforce them
Only the enthusiasts Incapable of sober reflec-
ton ever believed that the Boshevist theory could
lead to anything less than relapse into bar
barisms

Hiding beneath these petals,
Huddled under this hill.

POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOWl
1--WE ARE NOT SURE OF SORROW

We are not sure of sorrow,
And joy was never sure; 4
Today will die tomorrow;
Time stoops to no mans lure;
And love, grown faint and fretful
With lips but half regretful
Signs and with eyes forgetful
Weeps that no loves endure.
From too much love of living, a
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives forever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.

Of darkest wisdom. But today no more!
Now you alone can make me laugh or

THE HUMAN SEASONS

Four seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of
man;
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear
Takes in all beauty with an easy span;
He has his Summer, when luxuriously
Springs honey'd cud of youthful thought
he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
Is nearest unto Heaven; quiet coves
His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness-to let fair things
Pass by unheeded as threshold brook.
He has his Winter, too, of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forgo his mortal nature.
