To such an extent are we believers in the accuracy of the reports that when asked by outsiders for daily price currents we usually an- swer such inquiries by saying that they can get all necessary infor- mation from the commercial columns of The Call, which we consider more of a guide to both buyer and grower than the average market reports compiled and sent out by the various houses in the business.

Twenty years ago it used to be a common thing for banks in the West to buy gold bricks—I mean real ones—and frequently there were the best of reasons for keeping the transaction quiet. It often happened that the owner of some partly developed mine would make l-nh “ffiwlefl strike “d\‘;u"r:ll‘o buy up the adjacent property. D Y he would want tb hoid back the news of his discovery until he secured the land, and, if he had any bullion to dispose of, would_make the sale as quletly as possi ble. The banks became accustomed to deals of that kind, and were, consequent- ly, pretty easy pr:x for the goid brick swindler who turn n%'with a precisely milar story. I don't believe I - ate when I say that fully one-third of all the banking houses in the Western min- eral belt were at some time victimized by this game."—New Orleans Times-. crat. Custom Clings to Noise. Notse being an aggravation of a nice distinction exists between the two. Music is the poetry of sound. song is in the silence. There was a time when no one could go to dinner without a fear- ful noise of gongs and bells, but people seem to know now when it is time to eat. No bell calls us to the theater, why should it call us to church? It m.mr{ to the days of {tinerary preaching, and was used to summon people from the hills and val- leys. Like the Chinese, we cling to the customs of our ancestors.—Chicago Times- erald. An unusually large number of foreign immigrants appear to be settling at pres- ent in some parts of the New England States, where they obtain work In the | cotton mills and in connection with other | industries. Lately, it is saild, in Con- necticut and Rhode Island the preference | been given to Greeks, while in_the, | Fall River mills a large number of Por- tuguese and Poles have found | ment.
