Of better days I sing my friends, When men were men, and strong; When the Golden Rule was the only
 law, And justice balanced the wrong. When dust was coin and prosperity Beckoned on every hand;
 I sing of the days that lie in the
 past, When men sought the placer to
 pan. When pay was gold and dirt was
 pay, I fancy that none can revile, Those wonderful, better days of
 gold When men could mush, and smile. This dream of musher and sour dough, In fond recollection's flight, Of men who toiled in the golden sands, My thoughts return tonight. So I'll close this rhyme of the mys-
 tic. train, -Old memories languish so, All hail, you mutts, to the courage
 and guts Of the musher and sourdough!

AUTOMOBILE TRADE
GAINS IN BRITAIN
Both Domestic and Export
Markets Have Shown
Marked Improvement.
BY JOSEPH GRIGG.

LONDON, April 6.-with a highly
satisfactory increase In domestic de-
mand for popular priced models and
with the export market steadily i'm
methods, the British motor car indus
try is enjoying q new lease Of confi-
dence In a general trade recovery. In
some quarters this decided improve
ment is already being hailed as q boom.
In 1881 the total number of motor
vehicles on the road in Great Britain
was 2,213,722, but at the beginning Of
1888 the number had increased to
2,239 ,567, and sales since January have
exceeded those of last year. In 1881
the number of small cars was 315,002,
but at the start Of 1888 they had in
creased to 365, ,959 and have continued
steadily to multiply since.
Thousands Of persons who formerly
used motor cycles because the could not
afford cars have now become owners of
popular-priced 10 to IA horsepower cars.
This change-over is indicated in last
years decrease Of $4,000 in the number
Of motor cycle licenses issued.
With the motor car tax here levied
at the rate of IS per horsepower, many
would-be car owners were unable to
afford machines Of 20 horsepower and
over. Cars rated at over 20 horse
power declined from 84,833 In 1881 to
1864 in 1882.
In the trade negotiations which
Great Britain is now conducting with
19 countries that purchase annually a
total Of nearly $500 900 900 worth of
her goods, special efforts are beng
made to develop a market for motor
cars and engines. The motor industry
also. in the last year or two, has made
a close study of foreign markets, par
ticularly those in the dominions and
colonies.

kction of Market Over Last Three
Weeks Has Shown Advancing
NJ Tendency.
BY the Associated Press.


KANSAS CITY, April 6.-Price fluc-
fuations in the grain markets since st.
Patrick's day have tended steadily up
ward. Sometimes the gain Of one day
has been almost lost in q slip back
the next day, but for the last three
week period the general course, fg-
ured on a percentage basis, makes an
impressive showing.
Corn has been leader in the up
turn. CARROTS at Kansas City now are
selling around 80 to 33 cents bushel,
an advance of 10 to IL cents or about
so to SIS per cent since March 8. Pro-
ducers are receiving around 20 cents
q busllel, compared with prices rang
ing down to 10 cents at the recent low
point.
The wheat market, using the Kan
sas City basis, has risen to 3 cents
from the levels prevailing before the
bank disturbance. Milling companies
are selling here at 81 to SIS cents q
bushel and growers in this territory
are getting 38 to 43 cents IN most IN
stances, the advance generally amount
ing to 20 to Is per cent. T.
Wheat is one OF the few commodities
selling virtually as high rs . year ago;
corn still is 8 to S cents under the
comparable level {, IS
Other grains have followed the up
turn readily. Rye and barley have
risen about IS per cent in 9 month,
kafif and milo, As per cent, and oats
about Is per cent.
K In the case of wheat, 1t appears GER
tain that short crop will be harvested.
resulting possibly in q situation where

CURB SHARES GAIN
ON BETTER BUYING
Market Goes Higher as De-
mand for Stocks Shows
Increase.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 6.ZThe Curb Ex-
change moved higher in today's mod
erately active session.
Public utilities led the upswing, fol-
lowed by a group Of industrials and
specialties Electric Bond & Share was
-up fractionally, along with American
Gas & Electric, American Superpower.
American Cyanamid B and Standard
Oh of Indiana. Cities Service inclined
to heavineSs.
Various trade quarters contributed
constructive news to the general eco
nomic scene. Retail businesses reported
increased Easter purchases. Steel and
automotive industries showed further
betterment. Individual companies, Bas-
tian-Blessing Co.. for example, in
creased their working forces.
Mail order sales were sid to be pick
ing up. which accounted for the bulge
in Montgomery Ward A following the
announcement that March sales had
dropped 20.2 per cent. Great Atlantic
g. Pacific Tea, which earned $1002 a
share In 1882 against $13.40 in 1881,
quieted following its sprint yesterday.
The rise of raw sugar put National
Sugar Refining to new heights for the
year. Other shares similarly behaving
included Brillo Manufacturing Co.,
which has been the subject Of organ
lied operations recently. Not all food
issues benefited from the rise in COM
modities. Deere & Co. spurted, but
Horn & Hardhart, operating an East
ern restaurant chain, reacted. H. C..
Bohack 6s Co. had discounted the drop
of 1874 per cent in March sales. The
two Swift issues naturally benefited
from increased Easter business. Amer
lean Beverages hardened, but Mavis bot
tling quickly erased its previous rise.
Neither the forward move in silver
futures nor the income statement Of
New York b Honduras Rosario Min
ing Co., which earned $162 share In
1882 against 81 80 in 1881, had imme-
diate market effect on the white metal
issues. Domestic copper shares were
neglected. but some buying came into
Hudson Bay mining. Aluminium Co.
of America moved back and forth more
freely than in recent weeks. New Jer-
sey Zinc steadied Gold stocks we're
not especially active, though they gave
signs of desiring to go higher.
Chesebrough Manufacturing stiffened
as its 1882 earning report showed 1855
share against $10.78 in 1881. Humble
Oil dipped to new low following the
decision Of the Texas Railroad Com
mission to shut down 10000 East Texas
wells for period of five days, effective
today.
The usually wide-moving A. O. Smith
Corporation knocked off a couple of
points in the forenoon. Singer Manu.
featuring stirred without bringing about
much change. United States Playing
Card lost q point.

JUNIOR RAIL BONDS
! IN SHARP RECOVERY
German Dollar Loans Go
Against Market Trend as
Selling Develops.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Sharp recov-
cry occurred today in the list OF Junior
railroad bonds which were under ex-
treme pressure late Wednesday. Denial
of the reports that the Chicago d
Northwestern would be reorganized
helped to improve sentiment and led
to considerable covering. Against this
was the effect of another serious de-
cline in all German dollar obligations.
The gains in the low-priced railroad
list were largest in Chicago & North
western 434s, which sold yesterday at
a price less than the coupon rate and
which this morning moved up 21a
points. The 5 per cent notes. due on
May l, rallied points after an open
ing decline of 2l2 points.
Little change occurred in other active
members of this group. Chesapeake
Corporation 5s gained nearly points.
Great Northern rs were up points.
Missouri Pacific refunding SIS rose q
points and Southern Pacific ANS sold
Vile 4s was offered points below the
last previous sale and Kansas City
6outhern 3s lost a point.
Speculative industrials and utilities
also rallied, among them Warner Bros.
Pictures IS, Utilities Power & Light IS
and Dodge IS.
The further break in German obliga-
tions reflected the fear that interest
rates on them would be reduced. The
government 51as and rs lost between
2lz and points and were well below
the previous low of the year and an
average of Is points under the high of
last January. Declines of az to over }
points occurred In the Agricultural Bank
loans. These are IS to % points down
from the top OF the year. German Gen.
eral Electric 6s show q depreciation Of
more than SO per cent, most OF 1t since
the Hitler regime attained power in
Germany. Other foreign bonds were
quiet.
A continuation of strength featured
the market for United States Govern
ment loans The first Liberty 3l2s sold
above l01 and the fourth Liberty Az S
crossed 102. The long-term premium
Treasury loans were from ls to about q
higher. The same gain occurred in
the 31s and per cent discount bonds.

Leather Prices Decline.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Commerce Department reports
that the United Kingdom market for
American kid leather has shown q con-
sistent decline over the last few years.
The decline, it was said, Is due almost
entirely to increased domestic produc-
ton, keener competition, higher tariffs,
exchange conditions and reduced de-
mand
Total imports of this leather into
Britain have also been smaller, as Brit
ish users have been purchasing q large
percentage Of their requirements from
local sources The United States has
been obtaining smaller share of the
total import trade in kid leather during
the last three years, official British sta
tistics placing the imports Of this prod
uct in 1880 at more than 13,700, 900
square feet and at about 4,175,o0 feet

DOUGLAS OPENS
PARLEYS ON
BUDGET
ny International News Service

ny International News Service
President Roosevelt with Budget
Director Lewis w. Douglas was
drafting a program today for
next years expenditures which
will provide for most of the ex-
panded emergency operations he
began under the special authority
given him by Congress.
Douglas has stuck firmly to his
earlier recommendation for re-
turn to a budget of about $780,
100000 for the fiscal year 1885,
which begins next July, but it
appeared the Presidents program
called for considerably more than
this. In addition to Douglas, a
number of departmental chiefs
will be called to the White House
Tor monetary conferences.
The Budget Director has time
and again counselled completely
balanced budget, but while ordi-
nary expenditures will apparently
be. more than cared for by next
years revenues, the extraordinary,
or recovery, projects will run the
budget beyond revenues in all
probability. Revenues for next
year, as estimated, will aggregate
GS.350,0O0, 900.
The public works fund of $3,-
BOO, 100000 is almost exhausted,
and will be gone by Christmas.
There are a great many projects
which were started under this
fund and which must be con-
tinued next year. Consequently,
Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation
for public works appropriations
Is likely to run high.
Whatever the amount of the
budget, Mr.. Roosevelt expects to
have his recommendation COM
pleted and ready for Congress
when it convenes. He probably
will include them in his opening
message to the Congress, which
he is now drafting.

He gave up football because 1t
interfered with his education and
his desire to be a lawyer.
It was three years ago that he
came to Washington and tried
to get a Government position.
Unsuccessful, he took restau-
rant jobs. And it was an eco
nomic step, he points out. since
food is a large item of expense
and he can eat all he wants
where he works.

He keeps himself in the pink
