WAS IT A BEAR MovEq

Was the passage by the New York
chamber of commerce of a resolution
asking fer an Increase of the artillery
forces of the army and better defenses
for New York bear move? It has
had that effect on the stock market
at all events, and no one doubts that
the operators in Wall street would be
perfectly willing to use any means to
bring about a bun or a bear move
ment in stocks as they might desire.
a yeae ago this summer the same men
were doing all in their power to make
the people believe that the greatest
danger that could come to the country
would be the election of Mr.. Bryan;
they worked" that scare for all there
was in it. Are they working a wal
scare now?
There is no more prospect of a war
between this country and some other
than there was year ago, and not
nearly so much as two years ago, when
Mr.. Cleveland sent his Venezuelan
message 20 congress; and at that time
New York did not show such decided
signs of nervous prostration as she
showed last week by the action of he1
chamber Of commerce.
Why all the present alarm and sud
den demand for defenses for New York
! harbor? The harbor is better defended
today than it ever was before and Il
will only be few months before al
its defenses are complete, when she
will be perfectly fortified, as fortif1ca-
lions go today. The Boston chamber
of commerce has not found it neees-
sary to go into Mysteries oyer the state
of the defenses of that important sea
port.
The leading seaports of the country
should be properly fortified and theil
defenses properly manned. but there is
no necessity to work up a scare over
their present condition when no cause
for one exists. After all, the scare
really looks like it originated in a stock
jobbing transaction
