UNION PdCIITC COMBTNiTIONs


In 1872 the bull and bear factions in Wall
street met in fierce struggle over Chicago and
Northwestern Hallway stock. which then ruled
at about 7j.
Daniel Drew Henry NJ. Smith. and many
other wealthy operators sold it largely short.
and resOrtcd to every measure to break the
price.
JAY Gould was long. and the market for his
shares was impcrillcd by the serious attacks Of
the bear clique He accordingly rcsortcd to
desperate measures and giving orders to his
brokers To buy every share offered soon had
the stock cornercd.
The price went MP TO 2i0 and the bears were
compelled 10 settle at an enormous loss
Gould was left after the settlement with the
capital stock on hand. aud Spectators were
afraid either to buy or sell. As there was no
market Gould kept the stock on hand until the
panic Of 1873 broke the price to 80. When the
reaction came he was enabled TO sell out. owing
to indiscrimnatc huying Of all kinds Of stocks
by the public The highest price be obtained

Northwestern stock again became pooled
by the purchases Of John f. Tracy and his
friends These gentlemen used the road in
conjunction with the Chicago and Rock Island,
freight and passengers from Chicago To- Omaha
bcing taken over either road, the earnings be-
ing divided upon scale fixed by the respective
munag"mcnts
This combination plan, however, worked un-
fqvorably uIon ihe dealings IN ,Northwcslrrn
Brokers found it dinlcult TO induce the puhIic to
speculate. and the holdings Of the pool in
creased to about 100000 shares.
The price. too. fell of until in the closing
mouths Of 1910 the quotations were from "

The pool stock had been kept in the Office Of

market. the services ot ). VI. Mills Co. were
called into rruusiton.
MIR. Mills succeeded in making the stock moro
active. but investors still We're cautious about
purchasing. and 1t became evident that some
more decided move was necessary TO relieve the
pool from It's holdings.
At this juncturc the bull spectators called

How to Take Care of Pianos.

How to Take Care of Pianos.
I am so often asked by owners of in
strumehts in what way they should
manage to keep them to a good old
age, that I take this opportunity
through the columns Of your paper to
give my advice.
The piano is very susceptible te ev"
cry change in the temperature, Heat
and cold moist and dry each have
their effect. 1t is then obvious that
the more even we keep the temperature
the better for the instrument. Good
and we'll made piano fortes will stand
in tune if they are tuned at proper Pc
RODS. Many people as they wish to
avoid expense, will let their instru-
ments remain long out of tune, which
is great detriment to them, as they
will hardly ever stand well after hav-
ing been so left.
A piano ought by all means to be
tuned at least twice 8 year. First,
soon after you commence with fire In
the room Second, when the fire is
discontinued. By following this rule
you have the honest guarantee that
the instrument will remain in tune for
the longest period Of time. Never al
low the instrument under any circum-
stances to fall below concert pitch-if
it is for years tuned below, it will new
er after stand up to the pitch without
great deal of labor, if, indeed, it
ever stands at all. Many otherwise
splendid instruments are nearly or
quite ruined for want of proper atten-
ton to these simple facts.
Yet it will hardly ever answer for a
professional tuner to Recommend these
things. If he does the people will
suspect him Immediately of selfish mo-
tives. and say: Oh /! that is all right
for him to say so, he wants job
Another thing [ wish to say is, do not
use piano in place of table or stand
and above all hare the instrument too
or three inches from an inside aoaH.
