BANKER CLEWs' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street

wall street.
New York, May 1S.-After a prolonged
struggle, the stock market has at last
yielded to the pressure of downward in
fluences The bull side has had lard
task. For four months, it has been strlv-
ing to support the highest range of prices
ever reached in the history of the market.
There have been extraordinary causes pro-
ducing that rise, and IL will be pretty gen
orally allowed that those causes have in
large measure warranted the advance.
But the past weeks experience was not
needed to demonstrate that something
more than the intrinsic merits of the
properties is needed to maintain values.
An unbalanced condition of the machin-
cry of speculation is enough TO break
market in spite of whatever may be
claimed in favor of the investments. Ever
since the opening of the year, the market
has been in state of high nervous ten
sion, In January, the market was taken
by surprise with an unprecedented rush Of
investment buying, which put up prices
of railroad shares to a level yielding S1a
to per cent. This started a speculative
movement based on extravagant expecta
tions and buying was carried to excuses
through reinvesting the large profits yield
ed by high prices. This always danger
Gus method of financing speculation has
been the weak point in the market for the
last tRo or three months, and the position
became especially critical so soon as the
large operators realized their profits.
As a general view, it seems reasonable
to conclude that the course of the securi-
ties market will depend, for the next few
weeks or months, less upon such factors
as the crops and general trade than upon
conditions intrinsic TO the stock market
itself, and created by the introduction of
an important mass of securities largely

which the banks are disposed TO treat

KEPT HIS TOBACCO.

"Apropos OF heavy black tobacco"
remarked a dealer to q New Orleans
reporter. II used to have a number of
customers who smoked cigarettes made
OF straight perique. Some few remain,
but l coul them on one hand, and the
hibit is, so TO speak, extinct. i doubt
whether il was as injurious 10 the
health as some have claimed, and had
a pretty good opportunity to watch its
effects. For over twenty years l have
sold tobacco 10 one Of the most con-
fierme6 and enthusiastic perique smok-
ers In New Orleans. He was past mid
die age when he first come 10 my shop,
and is still hale and vigorous, his eyes
as bright as a birds, and his hand as
steady as a rock. He buys his tobacco
in bulk afterward cutting IL TO SUIT
himself, and like a number OF other old
time smokers. he can detect exquiSlteiy
slight differences in flavor among lot
of rolls or carrots. Ii Is very interesting
to see him pick out supply for pri-
vate ripening, something he attends 10
at intervals, just as one might keep up
a wine cellar. He proceeds on the the
ory, / believe, that the leaf Is at its
best between twelve and fifteen years
after having been put away. and has
each roll carefully dated SO as to en-
able him to consume perique of approx
imately that date from season To sea-
son. AS il ages, the tobacco assumes
~ beautiful deep black brown, and
doesn't resemble ordinary tobacco at
ALL This particular old gentleman l
have in mind has shown me pieces That
looked like mineral and other pieces
that looked like ebony. He moistcns
them with a dash of sherry and water,
whittles off what he wants with pen
knife, rolls it up with a quick turn of
the wrist. and walks away putting a
cloud of smoke that would lift the av-
crage young clubman clear off his feet.
AS I remarked before. however, there
are very few of the old-time perique
smokers still alive--I doubt If there is
over five or six now left who continue
To keep up their annual stocks"

HOW TO WASH YOUR FACE.

Telling girls How to be Pretty
Though Plain Mrs. Humphrey, In the
April Ladies' Home Journal. guaran-
tees any girl a good complexion who
will wash her face every night and
morning. and twice a gay besides, ac-
cording To her directions; The water
must not be quite cold In winter, and
soap should be usedk but once day.
The fingers are better THAN any sponge
or glove or flannel, and they should be
used as the masseuse uses hers, press
ing them firmly but gently into the
skin and passing them two or three
times over every inch Of the face. More
particular pains should be devoted to
the corners, where dust Is always lia-
BILE to lodge around the eyes, nose and
mouth. If washcloth Is used II
should be OF the softest and finest and
plenty OF water should be applied after
the soap SO as 10 wash II all away. The
drying process should be equally thor
ough and effectual, hurried rub OPEN
ing the way To all sorts OF roughnesses
and chappings. Not one girl in 20
knows how 10 wash her face, and
that is the reason why massage flour
ishes. 1t thoroughly cleanses.'
