COntented

Wouldn't make much of a rich man, guess
Couldn't be happy in upto-date dress;
Too fond of shirt sleeves an slppert at night
An the old pipe to SNAKE, an the hickerin' light
OF a CRATE fire I've started myself, an the
OF dom exactly the way that please, q.
Like putin my feet on the rungs of chair -
An droppin asleep if / want to- right there;
Too fond o. havin' folks rap at my door
I've answered the knock, which they never would do
If somehow I'd gathered million or two.
Riches are fine to possess, but !
Pm sort o. contented with life as it's now;
The homes not palace, but somehow find
It's fashioned to suit just my style of a mind
The mother an can sit here by the fire
An know we've got all that our hearts can desire;
The children around US, their friends droppln IN
To bank the piano and kick up din,
An fun goin' an the rooms just abaze
With gadness an mirth in the od-fashioned ways
An this couldn't happen, I'm tellin' to you
If somehow I'd gather a million or two
Folks scared be friendly with rich and great
They never come neghborin' up to the gate
Of q Teller that wallows in silver an gold,
An even the fire that sits by seems cold;
Wealth has much convention an fashion an sham,
An guess | happier just | am;
need all my neighbors to drop in an call
Without bein' invited an better than all,
l need all the children contented at home,
JUS glad to be here an not wantin to roam
So fill up my pipe an rejoice through an through
That Pm not alone with million two.

OyERCROwDED SHORTS.

NEW YORK, May 14.-As stated
in this column yesterday the short
interest became overcrowded. and as
a result a nice rally developed short
ly after the market opened.
Then further selling developed to-
ward the close. This is what the
conservative brokers expect for some
time. Just erratic movements both
ways.
Certain stocks from time to time
will be pushed higher. but will run
into short selling and cause a rather
general reaction after short lapse.
When some indication can be seen
of how the international situation
ia going to work out then commit
ments for the long pull will COM
mence to make themselves evident
for the account of the big fellows.
ANOTHER sTUDEBAkER Rise.
Studebaker again led the rally.
Coincident with the move came a de-
NAL that the company would cut
prices at the present time"
There is hardly a doubt but that
this is correct. Nor Is there any
more of a doubt but that some time
later the company will cut its prices
after certain other companies do SO.
One thing that has influenced the
movement in the stock Is the i'm
proved business this company is
in New York. De-
liveries in this city are being made
most satisfactorily and as traders
and brokers are right on the ground
and can see how the people are
feeling toward the company they

IMPROVEMENT IN LEATHER
REPORTED.

Hide and leather interests expect a
continuance of strong market de-
clares George S. Reases, general
manager of the by-products depart
ment of Morris e. Co.
Any tanner, he stated yesterday,
who ignores this fact in the sale Of
his leather is in for a bad time. Near
ly all grades of leather sell below
replacement values. AS a result Of
enormous waste last winter nearly
all tanners now depend almost en-
tirely on current production, he added.
Spring. he said, usually brings i'm
provement in the market. but the ir'-
provement has come earlier than
usual While in normal periods tan
ners run about full capacity through
out the winter they ran very low II
at all last winter. The aggregate
trading this month, he declared, has
been quite heavy.

NEW YORK. May 14-Business was
on a small scale during the abbre.
waited session of the stock market
today. with most of the trading of q
st richly professional character.
The speculative element continued
efforts to unearth fresh spots Of
weakness in the list and succeeded
in forcing several issues down sub
stantially on rumors of coming IN
favorable dividend developments.
However. other sections of the lis.
were strong on covering by shorts
due to the belief that many issues
which had sustained sharp declines
earlier in the week had given
ground too rapidly and were now due
for an advance.

Mexican Petroleum reflected rumors

sold off rather sharply. Tidewater
Oil fell over 1 point because of the
deficit shown in the earning statement

The Steel shares were quiet and
