ing at the corner of Fore and Ham
cock streets.
The life of the poet as written by
his brother Samuel Longfeliow. con-
tains the following description of the
Forest city and of the early days of
the Peoples Poet:
In all New England there is no
pleasanter Town than Portland, in
the State of Maine. Built upon a
down upon the waters from CEN
trail ridge, and at each end rises
into hill. The eastern one Of these
commands an enchanting view down
the bay and over it's wooded islands.
From the western height extends a
charming prospect over lowlandS
and tide river indented with many
shady coveS; far away to the hill
ranges, whose SUBMITS lie along the
horizon. Highest of these is the
peak of Mt. Washington some 70
miles away as the bird flies, softly
blue in summer, in winter dazzling
white. in the northwest. The streets
are shaded with arching elms, UNI
der which one gets glimpses Of the
water, and are cooled in summer by
the sea breezes. The houses, of
wood or brick, stand mostly apart
from each other in green yards and
gardens. On the outskirts Of the
town are fields and pastures, and q
pretty piece of woods-a grove of
oaks-long known as behring's
woods; now, by gift of its inheritors,
preserved as a park. There are
pleasant drives along the neighbor-
ing shores In summer numerous
little steamboats, run to various is
lands of the bay, several Of which
are inhabited; and the waters are
white with sails of pleasure boats, of
fishing vessels, and merchant ships
bringing their cargoes to the
Nharves. a.,z j..
In the eastern quarter Of the town
the first settled, and for many
years the court end"-on the corner
of Fore and, Hancock streets, stands
u house of three stories, somewhat
spacious and not without slight
architectural pretensions OF an old
fashioned sort. In it's day il was
tine house. such as were built 70 or
~ years ago in .all the New Eng
land seaports by well-to-do mer-
chants and sea CAPTIONS, and was the
rome of one of these, Capt. Samuel
Stephenson. Built on street that
ran along the shore, only the door
yard, the street and little beach
separated it from the water. The
house is still standing, but years ago
the tide CT fashion retreating west
ward left it bare. The beach. in
front of it has long been covered
with the buildings of the Grand
Trunk Railway.
In this house on the 9th day of
February, 1907, was born Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow. His parents
were temporarily living there: spend

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Brisk Buying and Firm Prices
Feature Markets for Stocks
and Bonds.

The feature OF the financial markets
yesterday was heavy buying and de-
cidedly firm prices of bonds, railroad
issues and United States war bonds
standing In the foreground. The fact
that the turnover OF the short session
was nearly equal to that of Friday indi-
Gated that the impetus applied TO funded
securities by the latest United States
Treasury certificates of indebtedness
offering was not at all abated at the
week end. knowledge that larS~
oversubscription to that $500, 900. 900 Of
fering is certain despite the low interest
return OF All ard Az per cent. for six
months and one year notes respectively,
has emphasized the tendency of money
rates SO thoroughly that return OF y
to per cent. offered by many sound
bonds for a long period of years looks
decidedly attractive to investors,
The stock market was subjected TO
considerable profit taking sales. but they
were absorbed easily in the petroleum
group and there were few points of
weakness anywhere. Speculative atten-
tion turned to shipping company shares
for the first time in two months and
several Of them were strong throughout
the day. Railroad stocks were neglected
and trifle heavy. Followers of those
shares have much to ponder over in
present conditions surrounding them, a
fact which promises to restrict dealings
for considerable time to come. The rail-
road situation, however, contains possi-
bilities Of rather dramatic developments.
The railroad executives are making no
secret of their intention to move for a
fresh wage reduction as soon as the
time seems fitting, and the suggestion In
Washington of possible merger OF the
duties of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the United States Railroad
Labor Board indicates that lawmakers
are fully aware Of the rather incongruoui
condition Of wage fixing and rate max
Ing, putting those closely related func.
tions at present in the hands of two
bodies, the deductions of which may OF
may not be founded on the same basis
Additional railroad earnings of Sep
tember showed that larger systems were
quite successful in converting economies
Of operation into gains Of net income.
despite handicaps in rather general de-
clines of gross receipts as compared
with those Of September, 1920. The
Great Northern's showing was worthy
OF especial attention, inasmuch as that
property stands among the few which
actually reported gain in gross rev.
enue. which amounted to s7so.000.
The weekly New York Clearing House
bank statement disclosed an expansion
OF s1s.sos,Ooo in aggregate reserve. the
preceding weeks deficit being overcome
through rediscounts at the local Reserve
bank. The reserve credits at that in.
stitution increased almost exactly the
same as tho total reserve. Loans re.
ceded sS1.ss0,o0o. but that change was
not reflected In a substantial fall of de.
mand deposits. On the contrary, those
deposits declined less than $4,000 The
easing of the call loan rate during the
week bespoke accumulation OF deposits
toward the week end.
