conversation among the clerks continued,
and little notice was taken of the man.
He ventured to inquire where it was,
and one of the clerks. pointing to the
wall. said: "Thcre she hangs-do you
expect us to bring it to you!'
.Ms,. Plant walked slowly over to where
it was and asked them now it worked.
This question he had to repeat. as the
boys were too much engaged in their
good time to hear him.
His second request brought forth the
reply from one of the fellows: Haven t

a tendency so universal and irresistible

What the good Doctor might mean
when die says: 1T is impossible to be-

sistible is wholly irrational or wholly uil-
social; it must be grounded in economic

He is believed to have secured a scoop on
the discovery that the tendency IS either
universal or irresistible. We could
mention from our limited list of ac-
auaintances "A number who have escaped
the solicitation of the trust tendency anu
it is well known fact that a number OF
business men in this country
who have actually been assail-
ed with it's vague witchery have
successfully resisted the blandish

may not sound quite so high-fa.ut.n but
it seems to the casual observer that the
outrageous tendency that looms on the
doctors horizon is merely discovery by
slhrewd business men that under existing
laws it is possible by sticking together
to steal from their neighb0rs
with impunity. That this high
ly successful method of acquisition
is grounded on economic and natural
necessities" is proposition SO novel that
nobody will dispute DIR. Gladden's right
to the so,e proprietorship of it. For
having yielded to an unjudicious ten
dency when they had grounded Oh
economic or other necessities various
members of the profesh are now doing

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York. Nov 27.-People who
bought stocks on Thursday and Friday
found the expected market for them
this morning and awaited themselves of
the opportunity to sell out. The sub
treasury operations last week made it
sufficiently obvious that strong bank
statement would be forthcoming on
Saturday, and the strength of the
market on account of Saturdays state
ment had therefore been discounted.
Prices were opened high, and the adj
vance in Americans in London had the
appearance of being manipulated from
New York for the sake of influence of
the opening here.
At all events, London was depressed
generally on the rise in the money
rate and sold stocks here from the
opening until long past the usual hour
for cabling. Pennsylvania was eager
ly bought by London. This demand
was largely responsible for the stock S
rise of Az over Friday during the first
hour 1t subsequently reacted two
points. The high prices brought eX-
tensiYe realizing, which was most
marked in the Baltimore and Ohio is
sue.
The opening in the preferred ran all
the way from So to S3% There were
occasional rallies in these stocks, but
the pressure of profit taking was re-
newed and their close was near the
lowest at net losses of IN and rs re-
spectively. Union Pacific showed the
effect of profit taking and Sugar was
weak from the first. These were suf-
ficiently powerful factors to decide
the general course of the market
downWards. The heaviness became
widely disseminated as the day pro-
crossed, and many stocks closed with
net losses of a point or over. While
the general course of the market was
reactionary some points of strength
persisted.
Manhattan, Federal Steel, American
Hoop, Chesapeake & Ohio, and Peoria,
Decatur & Evansville rose from one to
two points without maintaining the
full advance. Leather continued very
erratic over a range of 519 points be-
low Fridays close. The late break in
Sugar to 1854 and the st. Paul state
ment for October, showing a decrease
in net earnings of nearly $3.50, 900 en-
phasized the late weakness. st. Paul's
increased opera ling expenses or i'm
proYements charged to that act have
now wiped out all of the increase in
gross earnings since July l and es-
tablished a net decrease for that pc
riod as compared with last year of
nearly 100000
The condition of the money market
was not greatly affected by the move
ments of the banks in Saturday
statement. The fact was pointed
out that while the statement of all the
clearing house banks showed a de-
crease in loans of So, 125, 800 and an in
crease in cash reserves of $6,846, 225, a
single bank in the association reports
a decrease in loan of $4,1S6, 900 and an
increase in cash of $S,229,O With this
single institution withdrawn from the
showing it is shown that the average
condition of the remaining banks has
not been improved. There was a good
absorption of railroad bonds and prices
advanced. Total sales, par value, SO.
