Three great authorities, Wilkinson,

an actual holding OF any given stock
for the sake of profit and because the
top price is believed to be reached at
that very time it is equally advisable to
sell it short. The converse of this rule
is just as true, namely, that at any time
when it is wise to buy in a stock in or
der to cover and close up a short sale,
it is equally wise to buy the same stock
at the same price for rise. Thus
when one Of our great operators holds

and $4,000 more which he doesn't own;
and when the same stock in his opinion
is at tie bottom he buys and covers
these $4,000 and buys $4,000 more at
the same price. Small operators may
often do worse than initiate the giants.
Another correspondent asks: do
the public generally buy for a rise or
sell for q fall?" We answer that the
public generally buy for rise because
this is the most natural course to take.
Selling short, that is for a fall, appears
more Or less complicated to an mex

receives numerous letters from people
in the interior asking for advice and
points on the market. 1t is difficult to
answer all these letters, and impossi-
BILE to make the replies wholly salts
factory. Where advice is taken if re-
suits are profitable thanks do not
necessarily follow; if Improbable the
adviser is sure to be blamed. But GER
tain questions may be winnowed out
from the mass and answered with toll
cradle gertrude and without fear of
blame
One questioner asks: "What does It
mean when the money articles quote
money as at two per cent, and at an
other time as at fifty per cent, and tif-
ty per cent. per day or per annum? If
per day would like to have you invest
some few thousand for me, on good Sc
curity."
These quotations are per annum, and
are always for money loaned "on CALL"
that is. subject at all times to the de-
mand for return at once, and without
delay. The bulk of call loans during
nearly all the year are at the smallest
rate, or not over six per cent. There
are certain emergencies in the money
market where rates are put up to thir-
ty, forty, fifty per cent. Such trans
actions are not unhealthy. They act
as block to rash and foolish specula-
tions, and by calling out dormant cap
ital soon correct any scarcity that may
exist as to legitimate wants. Such
loans are soon returned. Fifty per
cent. may be for over night, or per-
haps for one day after another for an
entire week. but as pernanency it is
not to be thought of. Nor can any
person send on funds to New York
with the rational expectation of earn
ing fifty per cent. on them, and no safe
banker will allow him over three or
four per cent. on balances. Country
banks keep large amounts in New
York banks on two to three per cent;
in rare cases four. These deposits are
really call loans, since the owner draws
checks against them at will.
Another correspondent, one of
many, asks what it is to sell short. He
wants to know how a person can sell
property which he does not own; and
whether such an act does not smack Of
false pretenses. Any person has
right to sell anything which he is able
to deliver on being paid for it, and
there are no false pretenses about
such transaction nor any pretenses
whatever. A man may believe that
the shares of the r & railway ora
being sold at price far above their
value, and that therefore they will at
some future time sell at lower price:
