Our observing people, says Henry CIews. are becoming bewildered amidst the croWding evidences of the creative power of the nation. Such expansion, coming upon Us as with an avalanche, appeals powerfully to the public imag- inatiOn, and it is not wonderful if sanguine men come into Wall street prepared to stake with bold confidence upon the future of values. Under con- ditiOns and prospects such as are now dawning upon us, it is not easy to draw the line between Sobriety and eX- travagance in the valuation of invest ments. There is, however, a limit to the length to which this spirit of public optimism may be expected to run with in a given time. When speculation un- dertakes to give effect to q great up ward tendency in values it has to de pend upon the help of the money lend CTS, who are always ayerse to the risks of overcoming even tile most hopeful future. We arer now yergin9 upon range of market values which must be eXpected.to call out this eau ton of the money power. At the mo ment, perhaps, there is no thought of putting on the lenders brake, for there is a clear prospect@of three months of l ease in money; and yet the high ten
 sion in values invites interference iron professional ''bears" and encourages realizing from conservative "bulls,'
 which may soon bring reactionary ten dencies into operation.

THERE WERE NO BIDS.
Tangle Over the Repair of Asphalt
Pavement In Business District.

LII OOoA1ACoO 0Aob4AObs
Contrary to expectations no bids were
received yesterday by the board of public
works for repairing the asphalt pavement
in the business district. Harry Gunner
of the Culmer-Jennings Paving company,
which laid the pavement that was never
accepted by the city as coming UP to the
standard required by the contract. was
present at the meeting of the board. He
was urged to make bid for repairing the
pavement on specifications prepared by
himself instead of by the city engineer,
but the paving contractor refused to con-
slider the proposition in any way so long
IL Engineer Kelsey is on earth or until
the paving COmpany'S suit against the
city for balance alleged TO be due under
the old contract is settled in favor of the
Culmer-Jennings company.
The board last evening reported to the
city council the failure of bids to be sub
mitted. After prolonged discussion a
motion made by Councilman Robertson

Francisco paper. was voted down and a
motion prevailed directing the street sup

with concrete until next spring. In agree
ing to this motion by a small majority

tnat would likely be done to the pavement
that is still in good condition.
Only one bid. from Z. J. Moran, was re-
ceived by the board for delivering 5000
feet of six-inch water pipe and cOnnec-
tons His proposal was in the sum of
