to be in New York on important business
on December 81. Despite this objection
he was awarded the position, with power
to name his own aides and a marshal to
take his place If he should be absent.
Secretary Forrest stated that the rea-
son why the civic portion of the ce1ebra-

was because the Finance Committee did
not have money enough to provide the
requisite number of bands for q proper
showing OF such demonstration. a re-

yoent, 1910 by the Fourth, $20e by the Ma

Inc reaction long predicted in the STOCK
Market did not arrive TO-DAY. There was
the same immense liquidation as hereto
fore recently. but the buying was even
larger. Prices advanced everywhere, N
some issues only 1raeJi0nally and II otn-
ers III sharp buIges. The close was near
the top ne bank statement was q fine
one, but il did not change the tone OF me
market in the least. The Industrial Sc
cuTities were the prominent features Of
the market, Sugar, Peoples Gas, and the
steel stocks ali having sharp advances
To many this was a signal mat the end
OF the boom is near, as II has been
thought that these securities might be
held until the last for an upward move
ment on which to sell out the railway
stocks. other enthusiastic bulls will not
listen 10 this theory, but believe that
there is simply natural shifting Of ac-
counts, and that the boom is likely 10
continue with little reaction for some
time TO come. Nobody's opinion is worth
much as 10 just when such an upward
movement viii end. X is certain that
profits should De taken from time 10 time,
And that stop loss orders should be kept
under holdings not far away from the
market. If this is done there is no reason
why one should not continue 10 buy the
good stocks carefully. There will be 2
reaction Of few points at some time not
very far on. and when that comes careful
people advise the purchase of stocks again
for d still further big advance. The high
prices Of the winter have not been reach
ed yet, these people say.
The bank statement showed a large
increase in cash and an even greater in
