BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New York, Oct. 1-Prices on the Stock
Exchange have undergone a reaction the
end of which is difficult to determine.
There have been good reasons for the
present decline. The buying power of the
public had been exhausted, and peace
having been amply discounted, some new
stimulus was necessary for continuance
of the upward movement The big hold
ers of stocks have ma ,erialy lessened
their holdings, and are, therefore, quite
willing to see lower range of values on
which to base a fresh advance. At the
same time the public are stubborn bulls
and refuse to sell while railroad and bust
ness prospects continue encouraging. Yet,
temporary conditions permit demonstra-
lions on the bear side of the market, and
so long as the leaders on the bull side hold
aloof, they are likely to meet with more
or less success. We do not attach much
Importance to the political situation. Just
now spectators are putting unfavorable
constructions upon the drift of politics,
mainly TO suit their own ends. 1t is to
their advantage to frighten timid holders
of stocks. The vital point of the next cleo
ton, however, will be the sound money
vote, and there is happily no prospect of
its diminution. On the contrary, il is
probable that the next Congress will show
both branches of the legislature to be on
the side of sound money; and the annual
political scare on this issue is likely to be
of much less consequence than usual.
Perhaps the most favorable factor In the
outlook is the price of wheat, rs cents for
September contracts in New York, against
95 cents a year ago. Farmers are in con-
sequence holding back supplies to the det-
riment of RAILROAD earnings. This, how
ever. is only a temporary element as
wheat must come forward later in large
quantities to meet foreign demands and
if at improved prices SO much the better
for the West at large. A good deal of
comment is also heard about cotton having
touched the lowest price on record. Ow-
ing to the reduced cost of production in
the new districts, which now grow a large
proportion of the crop, this is not so Sc
rious a matter as appears. In some dis
tricts the excessively low price will be
severely felt, but the increasing diversifi-
cation of industry in the South is prov
ing an offset, and in the newer regions
the large crop means fair prosperity. Cot
ron growing is conducted on such peculiar
economic conditions that large crops and
low prices do not always mean the same
effects as in case of other crops

wHEELER's TRIBUTE TO WOMAN,
The Warrior Says They Raised Up
the Nation.


From the New York Journal, Oct. /.
At the Casino entertainment yesterday
afternoon the tune war war-the heroes
that died for it, the women that suffered
from it, the men wounded in 1t, the
soldiers made by 1t. the officers that
lived to come out of 1t.
dozen or more of them sat on the plat
form, invited there to join in the benefit
for the Soldiers and Sailors Protective
Association.
Soldiers of the North and South, we are
now all once more soldiers in common, -
shouted Gen. Wagner Swayne.
Above the burst of applause that fol-
lowed sounded the name of the little war
rior who has worn his uniform since May
5-Gen. Joe Wheeler. The house rose in
greeting. Women waved their handker-
chiefs. and cheers fioated ON the air.
p The generals eyes rested on the women.
at is usual" he said, ito speak of the
soldiers and sailors as the men behind the
guns, but every soldier and sailor will join
in the assertion that the power and force
which have brought our country to its
present greatness and the victories of SOL
diers on land and sea is the power behind
the men who stood behind the guns. That
power is the God directed influence of
woman"
Until that moment behind the cover of
dainty handkerchiefs, beneath the futter
OF fans, under gloved hands, one could
near such expressions as:
(Which is the one who said, Men don t
cheer-theyre dying?' I'm just crazy TO
know"
THAT one-on the left-who's he?"
THAT portly, middle-aged, gray-whisker-
ed man? Why, you don't wear. Good
gracious-who'd have supposed"
"Oh who is that adorable creature in
the yellow uniform. An aid! Only an
aid! Well If you had said he was Philip
or Hobson. Or
"And that little man on the right? Thai
small insignifcant-that the great Joe
Wheeler?-"
But after Gen. Wheeler's opening utter
ance the women's whispers were hushed
and the general continued:
I'm other countries there are expresses,
queens. princesses. In ours-noblity Of
Observation-Disclosures of heart raise the
women as far above the ordinary sense of
nobility as heaven is above the earth?"
HE is great and no mistake" came from
behind waving fans that beat a tattoo of
honest applause.
Then Gen. Wager Swayne, In his role
OF master of ceremonies, announced thar
there would have to be a good many al
teratfons of the programme as printed. For
instance. Cen Shafter, who had been
scheduled to appear between two musi-
cal numbers furnished by Miss Louie
Wood and Miss Lucille Nelson, telegraphed
that continued illness kept him away

An Episode Of
Presidents Day.

on presidents day at the exposition
an Omaha girl and $4,000 other people
started to the exposition to see the chief
executive. She was very early. but
when she reached the plaza in front OF
the band stand, where the president was
to speak, streams OF people were COM
ing from all directions, and she could
not get within hundred yards or the
platform. Boxes. benches, tables and
chairs were being utilized TO gain a bet
ter view Men rented a table for 20
cents and sold standing room thereon
al so cents per two feet.
The Omaha girl spied small boy
with a chair. She gave him 20 cents
and mounted it in triumph But people
of exalted station are ever prey to the
envious. Men, women and children who
had been trying to climb up each 9TH
er's backs rushed for her chair. 1t dane
ed wildly on three legs, then whirled
around on two and she clutched madly
at a passerby To save herself from an
initiation. BY lucky chance, it was
a man she knew. and she implored him
10 stay and protect her. 1t Is no great
affiiction to take care of a pretty girl.
and the young man mounted the chair
with aacrity just as the president APP
peared on the platform and $4,000 people
sent up a cheer and shout of enthu-
siasm.
How they did split their throats.
And the Omaha girl cheered and yelled
with them until her eyes filled with
tears and her voice cracked. In front
of her were tired looking women with
heavy babies: gray haired old farmers.
who had slept in their wagons all night
To be able to catch one glimpse OF the
president, and sorry, disappointed
souls who had looked forward TO this
day for months. But how could they
see in that struggling mass Of hu-
manity!
The Omaha girl had an inspiration.
Lets give some of these people
chance TO see the president" she said
to her knight on the chair.
"All right" he answered in good
American.
do you want TO see the PRESIDENT"
| the Omaha girl asked a weary woman
| trying to pacify a crying child The
woman's face frightened. She was lift
| ed To third of the chair and she and
| the baby saw a sight they viii boast
of 70 their dying days. An old farmer
was next hoisted TO this impromptu
platform. He will never see another
president, and the Omaha girl is glad
he saw this one. A corpulent young wo-
man was the next visitor. and she took
up so much room and staid SO long
that she was finally urged TO leave.
And so the good work went on till Mr..
McKinley's speech was over. At least
"a people and a small pickaninny were
lifted to that common kitchen chair
and seventh heaven of delight. Veri-
". it is great thing to be president
and a lovely thing to be a sweet, un-
selfish woman!
