TESTING THE MARKET.

He tries the stock market as a boy
would try the ice on u skating-pond TO
see whether it will bear he tests the
market by putting his foot on it. If it
will easily bear his whole weight-that
is, his largest "short sales-he
"covers at once and takes the other
stock. If the ice breaks he pounds it
until it is deep on the "bear" side. 1t
was as bear that he made large part
OF his fortune of six or seven millions.
Such an operator thinks very little OF
carrying fifty thousand shares of stock.
He is q large man, with large, square
features, which do not Usually relax into
a smile unless the value OF other peoples
property is falling, lie is in middle
life, and WAS a bachelor until year or
two ago, when he married young wife.
He is very brusque in bis manners, and
Is therefore not generally liked. One of
the strange stories told about him is that
he once lent Jay Gould q, 900, 900 with
out scrap of paper rs security, aud
that Mr.. Gould returned the money. /
mention Cammack because one hears his
doleiul representations quoted so often
now IN Wall street. He stands like q
wrecker. glass in hand, on q rock bound
coast, watching richly-freighted ship
that he hopes will be driven ashore in
some hurricane and delight his itching
fingers with the spoil.
Almost daily no may be seen in
brokers' Office in Broad street sharply
cycling the tape as it reels of the story
OF the speculative fight, and in the eve
ping he PAGES the tessellated marble
floor OF the Windsor Hotel Office and
talks with grita satisfaction Of the trou-
bic which he thinks is coming upon the
railroad companies because Of lack OF
freight and the cutting OF rates and the
duiness OF trade. His speculative strate-
gy is unconsciously based on the Fabian
policy--he always retreats rather than
incur big risks he does not undertake
to fight the market ~ the operator with
a few hundred dollars always does he
simply tries to find out which way it is

SYDNEY. C. B.. Aug. p Sir John Mac
Donald received his first intimation of the
presidents message while at dinner Thurs
day evening He refused to he Intervene
then, but Yesterday morning he said that he
had not read the complete text of the presi-
dents message to congress, as it has not all
been published here yet He was asked:
"Will the Dominion not retaliate in any

@Retaliatel" repeated Sir John. ~Retaliate!
What does that mean7 To retaliate evil for

American people would look better in the
eyes of the world if, instead OF retaliating,
they should make laws for the good OF their
country. 1t is very small business, this re-
taliation A literal meaning OF the phrase
would be cutting off ones nose to spite
ones face" 1t illustrates to my mind mora
forcibly than ever before the wonderful and
monStrous pitfalls which American politics
will lead a man into. 1t is nothing more nor
less than an exigency arising, not out of the
relations of the United States with Canada
and Canadians, but from the peculiar
conditions of the two great political parties
there, and their respective determinat ons-
expressed in actions, not words-that no
matter how much the PEG BE are harmed,
how foolish the country may appear in the
minds of thinking people, or what the conse-
quences may be, this or that party is going
10 have its own way and elect its candidate
toy appealing to prejudice. The party which
makes the boidest moves will reap the richest
reward at the polls"

dodge

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug 25-The opinion here
am 9ng railway men is that if the presidents
proposed retaliation is adopted by he United
Sta.es congress much loss will result to Can
adan railways. Government officials will
not talk much but one of the cabinet said
a policy of non-intercourse would in the end
be an immense benefit to Canada While
hoping that no such policy would be adopted,
be said:
THAT policy has only to be carried a step
further to lead her maiesty's government to
the conclusion that they would owe it to
Canada and themselves to meet that policy
of non-intercourse by different mode of
