There are necessarily two classes or
operators on every bourse, the bulls
who speculate on the rise, the "be>-i'
who speculate on the fail. But IN form
er times these two classes were regarded
with very different feelings. The man
who sought to depress the value OF Sc
curities was thought to be the enemy of
the public. But that opinion was obvious
~ illogical. for no man can speculate
on 81 probable rise in values 0nless he can
find some one ready TO support the con-
trary opinion and speculate on their fall.
The existence Of the "bul' presupposes
the necessity Of the bear" with more
reason. therefore. those who have desired
to limit speculation have inveighed against
sales on account, and have suggested that
these operations should either be checked
or taxed. Gambling, it is thought. would
be checked. speculation would certainly be
reduced. If man were only at liberty TO
dispose Of the shares or stocks which were
actually in his possession. But sales on
account, Operations a terme." as the
French call them. are almost indlspensa-
bic in many branches Of commerce, and
perhaps il is impossible TO offer clearer
defense for them than Mollien's answer
to Napoleon: 81 deal on account with my
water-carrier when he undertakes to sup
ply me every morning with two vessels
Of water. He has not got them himself
but he is sure to find them in the Seine.

The oc,an-vo,age Record-Breakers of 1893

Climatic conditions will probably pre-
vent our rapid trans Atlantic steamers
from making any more record-break-
ing voyages during the present year Inc
best record in 1892 was made in october
by the City of Paris, when the western
ocean passage was accomplished in iNe
days, fourteen hours and t"enty-fouF
minutes. The record made by the cam
pania, whose passage from New YORK 10
Queenstown ended az ID O'Clock Iast
Friday morning. after a voyage which
occupied FIVE days. twelve hours and seven
minutes, will be likely % remain the best
time for the eastern Sassage for 1915.
This vessel also holds the westward re-
cord having crossed tie Atlantic in Octo-
Der of this year in five days, thirteen
hours and thirty minutes. shortening the
record held by the city OF Paris IN
1892 for the westward passage by SIX
minutes less than one hour.
The reported wonderful speed thirty
miles an hour, made by the Havoc the
new English torpedo boat, on her trial
trip last week, a speed maintained during
three consecutive hours. indicates FIVE
days voyage across the Atlantic In the
not very distant future. With several
American and English cruisers and tor
pedO boats sailing at rate equalllhS

performance has ceased 70 excite aston
ishment. a few years ago the possibility
Of a six days voyage was predicted in a
cautious way, and not with as much confi-
dence as a five days voyage is now pro-
phesied.
While IL viii be some time before the
large steamers can be expected to rival
the speed Of the torpedo boats, the high
rate developed by the latter suggests in
teresting possibilities for the passenger
boats. The average speed of the Campo
MIA, in her voyage last week, was 2S
knots per hour. This rate has been con-
siderably exceeded by that Of several
torpedo boats. Twelve foreign boats Of
this class have a record Of twenty-four
knots an hour and upward, with the Ha-
voc at the head Of the list.
