THE BULLS AND THE BEARS.

There is Indignation among the bulls
of the New York Stock Exchange at the
tactics of the bears who showed their
claws to such weighty purpose last
week. Many of the virtuous gentle
men who were long" Of stocks and met
disaster in the smash of prices threat
Ell TO invoke the law against the wick
ed Shorts" who circulated all sorts of
wild yarns attacking the financial
standing of banks and business on
Germs from the Bank of England to the
humblest brokerage firm in the street"
Nine-tenths of these yarns, of course,
were without foundation, being intend
ed to help along the general scare and
panic caused by the failure of a few
concerns in New York and Boston. In
this manner the credit of some of the
strongest financial concerns in the
country was attacked and a condition
of. panic produced that at one time was
well calculated to, bring about the very
collapse all along the line the cons
eieneeless bears were rumoring-for fin
ancial credit is as tender and as easily,
furnished as a woman's reputation and
a run at an inconvenient time may
cause the temporary suspension OF the
strongest bank, though it may be amply
able to meet every obligation with rea-
sonable promptnes. Fear is the prime
mover in all panics and the calling in of
loans, etc, for protection by adding to
the stringency produces the very stu
{ on it is intended to guard against.
Business is largely conducted by mu-
tual credit and once that is attacked
the whole financial fabric is endangered.
This danger is doubly great when bu-
siness is overdone, prices are inflated,
when the security market is full of the
watered stocks of industrial bubbles and
thNre is a Tightening Of money. Such
is tive situation in Wall street, of which
the hears took advantage last week.
WhKe it was a legitimate advantage,
the bears. resorted to unusually unfair
\Nnd vicious tactics to increase it, filing
Re air With pure ~fabrications, attach
the strongest credit in such reckless

Affairs in the New York Market.
The Stock Quotations of Yester-
day-Other Business Matters.

Business men in retail lines seen
yesterday and last evening by Register
reporters, expressed themselves as
more than pleased with the volume Of
the holiday trade. Several retailers
said that the amount of business vas
ahead of all records, while all agreed
that it was the best season since 1892.
To an almost unprecedented extent the
buying has been upon a cash basis, this
being particularly true Of the working
and middle classes, and this is a feature
which business men appreciate, for a
number of reasons In most retail
lines assortments of goods appropriate
to the Christmas and holiday trade
have been very greatly depleted, and in
many stores last night desirable goods
were rather difficult to obtain.

II Ledger Monthly for January.
The Ledger Monthly for January,
1900, has on its cover a wonderfully
popular boy and dog picture, repro
duced in colors, entitled, Speak for it,
Jack" The first article, Heroes of
the Revenue Cutter Service" is a mar
rative of heroic rescues and adventures.
A double page is given to magnificent
Photographic illustrations of the ro-
mantle city of Innsbruck and mountain
scenery in the Austrian Tyrol, accom-
panied by a descriptive article. viii
S. Gridley is the author of a beautiful
short story, entitled. "The Blue Silk
Umbrella" w. L. Kelley contributes
a pleasant sketch of "The Cranberry
Harvest of Cape Cod" Many other in
teresting features are included in this
beautiful New Year number of the
Ledger Monthly, published at 5 cents
a copy and so cents a year, by Robert
Bonner's Sons, Ledger Building, New
York.

fashion. ali stated, that many sufferers
have threatened to bring criminal pro-
ceedings against those most prominent
in the work.
But the bear Is not the only vicious
animal in Wall street. His antagonist
is quite as vicious and habitually re-
sorts to the same tactics, as many a
wretched lamb can testify who has been
led to purchase stocks at top notch
prices through rosy visions of wealth
conjured up in his imagination by false
bull yarns uttered to deceive the gentle
public upon whom it is intended to
unload"
The bear has his use in holding the
bull level. If the bull had his own
sweet will in the market there would
be no end to the imitation of prices and
the greater would be the collapse bound
to follow. 1t is the bear who hammers
prices down to their legitimate level.
OF course, if let alone he will go to ex-
tremes like the bull and slaughter hon.
est values to the disaster of legitimate
business.
The truth of the matter is that neith-
er the bull nor the bear can claim a
monopoly of fair and honest dealing in
the stock market. Each is after the ad-
vantage and neither is usually over
%scrupulous about the means employed
to gain it. Moreover, it is notorious
that the bull is not always a bull, nor
the bear consistently a bear at all
times. In fact, they can and do change
their skins as easily as the chameleon
changes his hue or as the ocean its
tides, and about as often and as regu-
larly.
If the bulls and bears of Wall street
resort to the courts and get to prose-
,cuting one another for sharp practices
and false pretences the whole menagerie
of the New York Stock Exchange will
soon be at the bar of justice, while
ONE of the leading lights of the finan-
cial world may be in danger of wearing
prison stripes.
This, however, would not be in the
nature of an appalling disaster to the
country Indeed, legitimate trade and
industry would be something like $780,
coo, 900 better off every year if the whole
outfit of the Wall street game were plac-
ed 'in hoe" Indefinitely.

1t is pleasant to know that the widow
of the gallant Gen. Lawton will receive
pension of $4,000 and otherwise be
made comfortable and her future Sc
cured against want by a grateful peo-

this Chri5tmastfde is the happiest time
for such remembrance-that Mrs. Law

similarly bereaved, whose loved ones,

poignant because their dead did not
