The report was exaggerated into story
that the resignation had actually been

confined to the professional traders and
which reached only moderate proper
tions The market showed no change
semblance or waiting for conditions in
the money market to become more de-
fined and solid.
Had it not been for the sustaining in
fluence of one or two of the specialties,
notably Manhattan. Western Union and
BROOKLYN Transit. the scale would have
inclined much more sharply to the side of
depression. The Coalers were notably
weak and New Jersey Central at one
time fell two points. Burlington also fell
nearly u point below par.

tary operations on the frontier are now
concluded. Every Afridi and Orakzai
valley has been visited.
II now appears that the enemies loss;
has been more severe than was at first
believed, and out of all proportion to
their possible fighting strength. Their
trade with our centers for the necessities
of life has been closed and their autumn
tillage prevented. The complete submits
sion of the Orakzais is now accomplished.
Many hitherto unknown strategical
frontier routes have been surveyed and
mapped out. The Wanted prestige of the
Afridis has been lowered and their pun
ishment has paved the way for the perma-
nent settlement of the country 1t is firm
~ believed that, cut oft from India and
threatened with Il rc-invasion Of their

init.
1t is also expected that the international
friction resulting from the operations will
prove almost as severe Il punishment as
