THE MARKETS.
Wall Stret Review.

New York, Sept. 1G.-The appearance
of the bank statement effectually dis
persed all the encouraging illusions
that speculative holders of securities
have been indulging for several days
past and threw the market into de-
moralization. T:ires we're offered de- wn
by plugs and very heavy blocks were
lquidated apparently for whatever
they would bring. The local traction
stocks were special mark, seeming
ly on the theory thar thcv hal not re-
sponded adequately in sympathy with
Brooklyn Transit. Metropolitan
slumred an extreme 14h points and
Manhattan six. Broklvn transit itself
was somewhat relieved from the recent
severe pressure and held firmly at SS
or above through most Of the storm In
the late market. The other Flower
stocks were fercly attacked. Peoples
Gas dropping nearly 4, Rock Island 2A
and Federal steel ~. Sugar fell an
extreme Az and tobacco 3%. Losses
elsewhere in the specialties extended
between . and points in numrous cases.
ST. Paul suffred from continued liquid
alton even before the late break and
after the bank statement appeared It
dropped an rXtrem 49, to 12S Many
railroad stocks fell point ~ over. Th ,
violent declines invited the taking Of
some quick profits by the bears, which
caused fever;sh r1!ll"s. IN MetrOpOli-
tan the rally reached over points.
Put the tone of the speculation at the
closing was completely demoralZed
and prices in MANY cases were still be-
irg offered down rapidly In the frantic
efforts Of holders to unload. The loss
es i'm cash by the banks for the week
were over 80 400, 0OO less than had been
| fCreshadowed by the known movements
but on tn other hand n contraction IN
loas had been CXpecter to reach as
high as S25CcG,OoO according to some
estimates. As the return showed re-
| duction of only 1854 400 in loans the
not result brought the surplus reserves
down to about q quarter of million
dollars Of the legal requirement. Tc-
tai sales 100.

Hugh thought the matter over during
his lunch hour-for he forgot and took 1t,
after all. Il have nothing of my own, ;"
he argued, Except the clothes on my
back, and it won't do me any good to
turn things into gold because they won t
be worth any more to me than before.
Because turn Mr.. Cuthbert's baa-lambs
into golden ones 1t doesn't follow that
they are mine. Five dollars week is a
big sum of money and Mr.. Cuthbert gave
me q. place when no one else would. l
owe him all that can do for him. l will
accept his offer"
During his luncheon Mr.. Cuthbert de-
cided that he would offer Hugh Sc a
week and get him to turn everything into
gold. He could then sell out at auction
and realize even more than he did on the
10-cent articles. He felt sure that the
extra dollar would hold Hugh. for he was
good judge of character.
Now, whether the magician heard of
it and was vexed that Hugh did not make
more of his golden opportunity | cannot
say, but ii is a fact that after the lunch
Hugh found he had lost his power.
He went around touching everything in
worth more than dime. But although
Mr.. Cuthbert was close, he was also a
man of his word, and having told Hugh
that he would pay him $ a week, he con-
tinued to do it. and Hugh was so disgust
ingly diligent that he advanced higher and
higher until at last he was made a part
ner in the business, and today he is so
rich and all things he undertakes are so
prosperous that people say of him, He
has the touch of gold"
But If he had not been so mindful of
Mr.. CuthbertS interests he might still
have the veritable touch of gold that he
to admit that that would have been far
more interesting
