THROWING OFF FORTY MILLIONS

Tn tile news statement of the comple-
 ton of the bicycle combine we are teld sbhat ",the only change in the plans orig iiaally adopted was the reduction of the capital of the organization from ESQ., 100000 to $40,OO0, ,0OO"-a slight mat ter, to- be sure, when "there are mik ilirns'' in everything from peanuts. tO wheels, paper And beer.
 The "halcyon and vociiensus days' which Col. Sellers forstold are with us now in all their amplitude of word spainting, the only difference being that the cheerful idiot has been replaced by .the "sOlid" fnanciers and business men, who cut of $40, ,0OO, ,0OO of capitalization n as men of an older generation, used to ,prune hundreds. It is all dazzling, astonishing and pnOst picturesque.
 The student of mankind finds the spectacle of exceeding interest, as he ,eontemplates the promoters who para site legitimate business enterprises in .ofder to combine 1.-two of trad" kept apart by mutual fear and isalousy--and demand and receive pockets.tall of secu- rities for their pains; the. uneasy andl ,RsTplexed owners oi properties who. find ,that "options" are serious things, even when originally greatly inflated, and that in the end they are drawn into tho .m&W of combine, often against their will F and the Investigating public, eager at first to buy "industrials," but at last grown wary and surfeited, languid of sTssponss tO' elOquence of the Sellers Itype.
 Here is the uncertain factor in grow. s'g!y com piicateG situstion. ''Wiii the market stand any more of these securi- tiesf" is the question which promoters of proposed combines are asking.

 h is to be observed that financial Ma poleons are beginning to call the patient public "slow"-and we suspect that as a general proposition the pace will still farther drop off instead of accelerate. ThRse are boom. times, sure enough. but there comes point where even boom CTS can no longer boom. The market can be stuffed with securities until, like the snake with big meal inside, it grows torpid and goes to sleep to digest what has been absorbed--if it can. It looks as If such season of resting and. inaction were at hand. Not even the airy throwing off of $40 1000 GOO from any given capitalization is likely to iLhame an appetite alreadY sated, or nearly so.- Springfield Republican.
