New York, Nov. H.-The opening on the
Btock Exchange to-day was wild and the
public buying upse- tho calculations or the
expert opinion In Wall street. advancing
stocks ir spite Of tho heaviest proft-fak-
inD. In . market moved By such a gen.
eraI mpulse individual considerations were
lost sight Of and tho close helped by
good bank statement, was very strong, al
though perhaps not quite at the best Of the
day. Tho small increase in the loans shown
by the associated banks was generally
taken - an indication that stock had bsen
bought and taken OF the market.
Tho market during the last week is q good
instance Of what the public can do when 1t
takes the hit In ita teeth. When such ex-
perienced traders as L. Wormser. who was
long Of stock and the markets best sup
port In the dull tme sells short on ad-
vances and finds the market going away
from him. the position Of the other traders
Can be guessed. It is not too much to say
that all the old hands In Wall street have
underestimated tho public enthusiasm. and
It 10 Questionable II any Of them has made
money on the sensational advance. The
public not only wants stock, but It wants
It bad enough to take It off the market al
together II 1t cannos find brokers willing to
carry II at reasonable margin.
In the circumstances It Is not surprising
to nnd. from careful inquiries among the
leading brokers in the street, that they are
not carrying anything like what they would
consider full line Of stock. There ia no
reason to suppose that the public demand
q satisfied. and by all appearances it may
continue over the end Of the month. There

rious reaction can be looked for as long as

look an extreme price for stocks of this
character. and We may justly expect that
public sentiment will carry them to that
figure.
Northern Pacific IS the dark horse" of
the market. and may be placed under per-
any case. Great Northern is the dominant
factor In the position there. and Mr.
Hills influence In railroad management is
one Of the best things this country has yet
produced.
It would hs wrong to suggest that the
public should start pyramidins. and IN
deed. there seems to be good deal of
method in its madness; It is dlscriminat-
Ing in favor OF dividend-earniug stocks
and industrials with something like a pros
pect of doing well In the good times antIc-
ipated from the assured sound govern
ment me. and-currency Of the next four years.
The following position will probably give
the first check TO the boom. England will
have to borrow some $3.50, o00CO for war ex-
penses and Denmark, Switzerland, Italy,
Russia and Argentina would all be glad to
get money at a price. One does not antic-
tpate this check before December. but
from the general trend Of the market it
looks as II the first serious setback would
