BRADsTREET's ON FINANCE.
Not for Decade Has There Bce
Such Activity In Sfnnlxa

Not for n Decade Has There Been
Such Activity In stocks.
New York, December 16.-Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say: An
enormous aggregate of transactions In
both bonds and stocks with an unusually
wide range IN the variety of securit es
traded in, have been accompanied this
week by advances which carried prices for
majority of the stock exchange list 10
the highest level of THE year. In many re
speets the movement was calcul aied to
bring TO mind the so-called boom" of
lst9-S0, the more SO because in both cases
series OF exceptionally large credit BAL
ances i'm the foreign trade in the United
States is accompanied by an expansion OF
business and decidedly favorable rssuns
ss regards railroad earnings and dividends
which furnish the basis for speculative con-
f1dence. In the present case, however the
conditions both in these respects and in
regard to the accumulated capital of the
country are deemed so superior to thos.
upon which previous demonstrations OF
confidence We're based THAT some of tho
most prominent individual interests Ia
Wall street are emphatic in declaring that
prices will be CARRIED to much higher
level. Such views, in fact. find general
credence in financial circles, but at the
same time the market after remarkable
exhibition of Its bullish temper in the
early Part of the week presented all the
symptoms of a heavy realizing of prof s
by professional interests, which, to con-
siderable extent, checks the advances in
the parts of the list in which the upward
had been most pronounced and
diminished the volume of trading to a con-
sidersable extent.

RESPECT FOR THE FLAG.
Not Always TO BE Measured in This
Country by the Number of Hats
That Come on.

"Hats oil" said an. enthusiastic
young man IN the crowd around the
Old Guards recruiting tent at City Hall
park when :he band started up with
'The Star-Spangled Banner" Nobody,
or only one or two, followed his ex-
ample.
"Hats Oft" he cried again, and maybe
half q dozen hats came Off. Ho made
the coll again, but no moro were re-
moved and some Of the men standing
near smiled at the young man.
I'm England" said bystander later,
"when they play God Save the Queen
everybody takes off his hat. Why don't
we take of our hats here2"
"Well. don't know" said a middle
aged man who had his hat rather
jammed down on his head than other
wise, and whose eyes were glistening
slightly. Il don't think It's our way
so much. But don't think we lack
affection for the flag. don't feel that
it's necessary for mo TO take of my
hat to It every time, but the flag knows
how feel toward It,"
"And / don't think Il indicates q lack
Of enthusiasm, either" said another
bystander. "In fact. imagine that we
shall need not TO stimulate patriotism
Ia this country, but TO exercise some
self-control as nation 70 keep our
generous impulses from going too far
IN one direction and another. AS mat
ter Of fact, wo are only just now begin
ming TO realize what we are, the great
est nation on the face Of the earth. We
are like vigorous young giant when
he comes to the first realization of the
fullness Of his strength among men.
"Our youthful vigor will last, don't
know how long, how many scores Of
years or centuries, during which time
we shall find II hard work TO sit quiet
" within the precincts Of our own home.
And yet as people we are rather reti-
cent, 50 far as the expression of feel
ing goes; young as we are, we are not
easily carried of our feet. But none the
less do we love the flag and respect 81;
more now, in fact, than ever. There
has never been a time in the country's
history when the national feeling was
so strong as 1t is now; never time
when the pride of citizenship here was
