The Rhymins
Optimist
By ALINE MICHAELIs
Many Ghosts

Ghosts throng the hearts warm
dwelling, many ghosts
Who wander through those
rooms they once possessed.
Returning for an hour from un-
known coasts
To seek the port of a remember
ing breast.
The ghost of hope. the ghost of
old delight.
Brave ghost of faith, gray phan.
tom Of regret,
And, like a white rose cleaning
through the night,
The ghost of love, that still is
lovely yet!
The rest come back all wan, all
dimmed by change.
Washed pale by time, almost too
faint to know;
But loves sweet ghost can never
be quite strange,
The bloom of loves dear self
the wrath will show.
OF all these pallid wanderers
through the heart
loves ghost alone can claim
i therein a part.

BY G. A. PHILLIPS,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, October 20.-The
Curb market moved in a narrow range
today and trading was too restricted
to establish q definite trend in any
single group of stocks. Some Of the
specialties, utilities and industrials
showed strength, but others were sold
in small volume and yielded some
ground.
Advances, Of around u point were
registered by American Gas, Southern
American Gold Sz Platinum, American
Cyanamid "B," and Sherwin Williams.

Small losses occurred in Cities

Sullivan. Aluminium Co. declined
nearly 2 points on a small turnover.
Montgomery Ward and other mer-

Trading continued quiet right after

CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 20.-Down-

weakness of quotations at Liverpool.
There we're also further beneficial
rains in domestic wheat territory

little.
Resistance to selling pressure in the
Chicago wheat market developed on
declines to around sS cents for De-
mission house demand for wheat in
creased, and transient fractional
rallies took place, helped by relative
strength of the corn market. Houses
with Eastern connections became
prominent at times as buyers both
of wheat and corn, with more or less
notice taken of reduced unofhcial esu-
mates of the 1884 Canadian wheat
yield.
Liverpool dispatches said the wheat
trade there was very bearish owing
to excellent new-crop prospects in
Argentina. 1t was added that Liver
pool prices were weak on account Of
stop-loss selling and because of alb
sence Of demand. On the other hand.
Washington reported 1884 wheat pro-
duction in 40 countries totaled $685.
s61 900 bushels, about 8 per cent under
the harvest of the same countries in
1888. Corn and oats prices derived
some firmness from generally unfavor-
able weather that would tend to check
movement of corn.
Provisions were steadied by hog
market action.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 2O.-While
cotton has been quiet, with fiuctua-
tions more or less irregular, the mar
ket has shown O. fairly steady UNDER
tone during the last week on reports
Of firm spot situation in the South
and a moderate demand from trade
or scattering sources.
Over-holiday reports denying the
infiationary rumors reaching here to-
ward the end of last week were re-
fiected by reactions early in the week,
but liquidation was absorbed of about
25 points and the market later steadied
on buying attributed partly to more
optimistic views OF general business
prospects.
Rallies were not fully mainta ined,
however, and after selling up from
1928, the low point of Monday, TO
l2.45 during Wednesdays trading, De-
cember closed last night at 1929,
compared with 12.43, the closing quo
tation OF the previous week.
Reports that the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration would an
nounce its acreage program for 1888
some time next month attracted q
great deal of attention. Uncertainty
as to its probable showing seemed to
have restricting effect on general
business toward the end of the week
An impression based largely upon re-
ported agreements between the ad-
ministration and cotton growers parti-
cipating in this years acreage pro-
gram seemed to prevail that the plan
for 1885 will probably permit of a
slight increase in acreage.
