New York. Aug. 24.-The further
decline in the principal industrial
stocks, which at times affected some
Of the railway shares also, indicated
the same governing influences as
have prevailed for several weeks.
Financial sentiment has certainly
been affected by the confusing re-
suits of the collapsed speculation in
the trade and produce of countries
to the south of us and the conse-
quent hesitancy of the investing
community has made the market
more susceptible to speculative at
tacks.
The opportunity has not been
missed; the present operations for
the decline have been wholly based
on this attitude of the general pub
lie.

than has been reached on any day since
the spectacular 12-cent rise of August
and German marks made further ad-
vance over the weeks earlier low price.
The future course of the German mark
will doubtless be watched with special in
terest in connection with the recurrent re-
ports Of the increase in Germany's export
trade. Some Of these reports are plainly
extravagant. such as the Pittsburgh ru-
NOR of 100000 tons Of German steel un-

country. In the full 12 months period
ending last June. our entire importation
Of all kinds of goods from Germany was
only 1,669.o00 tons and Gernany's aver
age exports of steel per, month In 1920
TO all outside countries Only l42 600
tons as against an average of 479.sO0 in

40 per cent of her steel-making capacity
through the war.

The supply of money. as it is in
dicated by the rate of interest does
not now affect prices on the stock

reserves showed the country short
Of credit. But the rate Of interest
affects the value of stocks in rela-

real permanency depends. however,
upon the solution of a number of
problems-the most important prob
ably, in our domestic situation, being
the slow crowding over of our rail-
roads on TO II paying basis. That in
turn depends upon the action of the
labor board. and perhaps Of Congress,
but neither of these organizations is
apt to move very promptly. Prospects
in this direction. favorable or un-
favorable. will furnish speculative
fuel in the meantime.
IT is plain proposition that rail-
road labor cannot continue to be paid
on an inflated wartime scale. while
the rest of the country Is being re-
organized on basis of readjustment.

FINDING GRADE OF POTATOES
Too Much Dependence Should Not
Be Placed on Size Aione-knobs
Detract From Value.

In grading potatoes too much de-
pendence should not be put on sizing
alone, say specialists Of the bureau of
markets, United States Department Of
Agriculture. A potato, for example,
may be SO covered with second growth
knobs that it will not pass through
the meshes of the grader, but it does
not rightly belong in the first grade.
The knobs mean much waste and re
quire extra time in preparing the
tubers for the table. Or, a potato may
neasure up satisfactorily to the stand
ards Of size and yet be so diseased as
to be worthless.
A potato may even Apresent a fine
prize-winningt appearance on the sur
face, and be far below grade because
of injuries or disease Of which there
is no evidence without cutting it.
Freezing injury, or hollow heart, illus
trates cases of this kind. The grower
should not be blamed for losses which
result from these causes, but to a greal
extent field conditions are tie primary
cause of the troubles which appear
when the potatoes are marketed.

PUT 1T in PLEASANT WAY
Thomas Bailey AIdtich's Humorous
Rebuke to Correspondent Whose
Writing Was klegibIe.

i 1t takes a clever man to find a good
word to say on every occasion. 1t is
said of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he
once received a letter from his friend,
Prof. Edward S. Morse, and found the
handwriting wholly illegible. Mr.. AID
rich was not at a loss for an answer.
In due time there came to Mr.. Morse
the following reply;
My Dear Morse-It was very pleas
ant to receive a letter from you the
other day. Perhaps / should have
found it pleasanter if I had been able
to decipher it. / don't think l mas

charm in a letter of yours-it never
grows old, and it never loses it's novel

one looks at it, Here's a letter Of

TIME MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Poets and Musicians of Old Days Lived
Hard Lives, but Would Be
Rich Today.

MEN lHIEtEHE NtMS,EEtEEl~S EEEs
A Philadelphia connoisseur has re-
turned from England with a manu-
script of Shelley's for which he paid
LOO pounds (normally about $S,5O0).
1t is said that the total amount Shell
ley received in his lifetime from the
publishers of his poetry was about
$3.50.
AS one reads of the fantastic sums
that change hands in the auction room
today for books, manuscripts, pictures
and other works of art, one is moved
to moralize upon the, difference q.
small part of the price would have
made to the artist in his lifetime.
C%hatterton poisoned himself ere he
was eighteen to escape slow starva-
ton, since he was too proud to dis
close his utter penury; and now. a few
words from his hand would bring
enough to support him for years!
In the last year Of S%chubert's life
six of his songs were sold to a pub
Usher for 20 cents apiece. When he
died, not thirty-two years old, his un-
published music was valued at So and
his estate was appraised at about $12.
Septimus Winner of Philadelphia
sold "Listen to the Mocking Bird to
the publishers for $35. They are said
to have made $3,O00,0OO out of it!
"Lives of great men all remind us'
that posterity has succeeded in capt.
talizing patriarchs who in their time
found 1t hard to live.

Tomorrow.

How sweet a consolation there is in
that little word tomorrow !" The
poets have given it an unduly melan-
choly tang-probably because ssor-
row" and borrow" are the only ready
rhymes for it. You can never trust
a poet to tell the truth when he is
pinched for rhymes.
For poor, easygoing humanity ito
morrow" solves all problems. Tomor-
row 1--WE trustfully say the shirts will
come back from the laundry; we will
write that letter to Bill; we will give
up smoking ; we will be brave enough
not to temper our cold bath with
warm water. Tomorrow, after we
have had a refreshing sleep, we will
compose the immortal poem; we will
r%efashion our life on an austere,
reasonable philosophy; we will get our
hair cut; we will astonish the boss.
Humanity must be fond Of tomor.
row, because there is always SO much
work being saved for that occasion.
He that works tomorrow will tri-
umph yesterday.
