SCRAMBLE FOR WEALTH.
The changed conditions are due almost
wholly to the last war, and the three
billions of Government money that mas
been poured out through the eAtrava-z
gance Of Congress and the general leeiliiS
that the United States must become q
.conuuering nation. Everybody IS ehSiseo
in q mad scramble for wealth, ana the
public as the merchants ana sIl'aii
tradesmen of the country are called, is
now in the market up to its ears. The
big. willy SPECTATORS see that the market
is near its natural top and they are VIII
ling to sell their holdings (gathered up
before the last election as very much
lower figures) to the greedy hoarders OF
money, who now insist i'll having share
in the general prosperity. 1t is motor.
ious in Wall Street that the public
never comes into the market until hlgn
figures have been reached. Addison Cam
mack, a jolly old pirate. on this Barbary
coast, once said in the hearins OF the
writer: ."rhe public is getting together
for a grand charge on the market; 1t is
high time to sell the people our stocks
and get as far Short as possible His
judgment as to the right time to sell
stocks was rarely at fault. His big losses,
he said at another time, had been made
ket lie is exceptional in this respect.
perhaps. but the moral and the wisdom Of
his words Hold good.
VERY HEAVY DEALS.
Trading on the Stock Exchange has
now reached such a stupendous volume
that the purchase of thousands OF shares
are necessary to advance prices. This is
the only element of safety for the SEN
eral public. WASHED sales. as hctl-
tious trading is described, are practically
impossible Men who last year rarely
ventured to buy thousand shares at a
time now buy ten thousand shares with
out hesitation. Not that they have much
more capital, but because their brokers
have become im0ued with the same splr-
it of adventure, and will take their COM
missions on a three per cent. margin in
stead of the ten per cent. that they
eXacted twelve months ago.
Many of the boldest men in the street
have confessedly lost their heads. Mr..
Morgan, for example, acts in his office
like buccaneer of the Spanish Main.
All that is wanting to make him literally
terrifying in these days is a cutlass and
q smoking blunderbusS.
