The venerable doctor the n thought
better of the gambling business and
wrote the following cloudy lines
which make it rather doubtful
whether he is after the Lord or
Mammon:
$50 far, experienced business men
deem the present prices of plant
alton shares to be quite within the
limit of their value as good invest
ments for capitalists abroad, and
such seems to be the opinion of the
latter, who are eagerly investing. 1t
is therefore not unlikely that the
: expansion OF values will continue.
Some people will probably suffer by
a rebound when the limit is reached.
Meantime many people are realizing
gratifying gains by buying and sell
ing shares. The number of our
millionaires also seems to be multi
plying. All this will prove an evil
or good to the higher interests oil

He shields the "lambs" however,
although he rebukes them in the
following words:
"All this has generated fever of
excitement among both large and
small possessors of means. Such a
fever cannot be wholesome morally
or financially. Nothing has occurred
that can properly be called stock
gambling. Such proceedings, how
ever, are liable to occur"
