1t takes some people a long time to learn a
lesson. Even experience Will not teach every

endured during the recent has taught some
people nothing at all. Fortunately numbers have
learned the lesson of that conflict and have re-

The stock market this morning cannot
be said to have been satisfactory, despite
the fact that there was some advance in
the price of number of stocks. 1t was
noticeable that there was no large buying
by important people, and that there were
almost no transactions in the "gilt-edg-
ed stocks, which usually furnish large
part of the business of the exchange
The characteristics which have been
prominent for the last week in the mar
ket were still TO the fore. The pools are
forcing up the price of their specialties
and the public is still buying though in
lessened volume every day. This is far
from healthy condition of things. and

the price of stocks. Ii seems almost GER
