The following rules have been the guide Of one Of
our eity's oldest merchants, who in a period Of over
twenty-five years has never lost a dollar by stock
operations.
Always buy when, from some exfraneous cause,
such as n temporary money pressure or a large failure,
people grow fimid, and are ready to " sell out"
Never sell on . falling market.
Always remember that when stocks in ordinarily
good reputation fall during a money pressure, they
are a. sure 10 rise again as the sun in the heavens.
Remember the good old proverb-" extremes pro-
duee their opposite-whether in "pauic prices or
ether less important matters
Above all. never lose confidence in intrinsically
good property because temporary causes cause tenn
porary depreciation. but !. hold on in the emphatic
language Of the times, for the reaction which is sure
