A Financier,s views.

New YORK, June 1.-THE head of a
large foreign house here has been inter-
viewed. He said:
A man may as well try to lift himself
up, by his bootstraps as for us here to
attempt to lift our market. 1t cannot
be done unless Europe is willing and
able to pay our securities. The market
here is in a congested state. Our people
have all the securities they want and are
not in condition to undertake strong
buying movement with no brighter hopes
than at present of getting somebody to
take the securities off their hands,
There is nothing in the situation here
which. should cause a depression. On
the contrary the situation warrants
higher prices. Our relief is coming when
Europe gets thoroughly over her troubles
and finds herself able to invest money
here again. My advices from London
are that only so much of the gold which
has gone there will come back as is need
ed to pay for grain and breadstuffs.

That our readers may have some idea
of the game that has recently created
the scandal in high circles in England
we give an outline below of the way it is
played. The layout consists of an oval
table, with a chalk line drawn across its
center. The players sit to the right or
left of the table with the dealer in the
center. Two cards are dealt to each side
of the line and the players bet against
one another's. As soon as the cards
dealt on either side amount to nine, it
wins unless certain cards fall to the deal
er Cor banker) and he pays to both the
right and left side of the table. The
game is old, over hundred years as
records show, but has never got foot
hold in America. At few of the great
European gambling resorts, baccarat
rooms are kept open, but it is not pop
ular game with the public and only has
popular recognition in private circles of
the effete nobility of England today.
