Notes and Comments.
Another 'Danieln has arisen in the stock
market and is now engaged in furnishing
daily comment on the transactions for the bene-
fit of the readers of our enterprising neighbor,
the Critic. There is, however, striking SINH
larity in the tone of the articles with those that
have until recently appeared in the Sunday
Post, and the ear-marks so plainly visible give
evidence of the same facile if not altogether
reliable pen. The reader will find the same
persistent attention given to the Electric Light
stock, Notwithstanding the limited dealings in
it and the little interest shown it by the general
public, and he will also find the same glowing
descriptions of that gorgeous property Graphic
phone and the brilliant promise it offers. The
strong tone OF philanthropy Permeating the
article and the generous advice given to
the guileless brokers who are standing
on the brink of failure because they
are acting contrary to the ''facts," as seen by
fectlng, and it is to be regretted that those err
ing ones do not Immediately turn from the error
of their ways and heed the advice of this truly
good adviser But then, as they recall that
this same writer predicted that Electric Light
would touch $3.50 by April l; and that GRAPHIC
phone was good thing to buy in January last,
when 1t was selling at $2l per share they are
much inclined to think that the advice is not
altogether unselash and still persist in the error
of their ways. THE HERALD may at all times
be depended on to give the actual facts as they
exist, unbiased by any personal wishes or de-
sires.
