known as the Retail Merchants COM
pany The capital stock will be $780,
600, with shares at $40 each. Only mer-
chants in good standing in their local
association Will be given stock, and
likewise no insurance will be given
those who are not in good standing.
The chief advantage claimed for this
plan of insurance is that it will be from
10 to 80 per cent. cheaper than if placed
with the old line companies, and that
it will be just as reliable. 1t is figured
that it will also earn profits for the in
Vestors. The increase of rates by the
middle department of underwriters has
had its effect in awakening interest in
the project. The plan has been tried
with success in the Dakotas and in
Iowa.

mo a RESERVOIR SAFE.
ytory >of Yesterday About Loose
Walls a Wild-Eyed Rumor--Truly
a "Pipeu Story.

There was story about the town
yesterday that the retaining wall OF
80. reservoir, of the Consolidated
Water company, was unsafe and that
there was immediate danger of an
overflow or of the dam bursting in the
event of heavy rain.
~On the face of IL, the story appeared
to be what is called wild-eyed, as the
wall at this particular reservoir was
noted for its strong construction. The
foundation is something over thirty
feet I'm diameter. while the wall is pro-
portionately. strong as 1t ascends.
Above all reservoir walls in this Sec
tion, this one was accepted as being
the one to be less likely to be made the
subject of any calamity walls. Another
circumstance that lent to the falsity,
almost absurdness, of the story. was
that the reservoir was not even thought
OF as a possible menace during the re-
cent flood If it weathered that period
without misbehaving then it would
certainly be safe now, when the danger
of floods was virtually passed. The
story spread, however. and by dinner
time there was any number of pic
turesque and slittering tales of the
conditions at the dam. The active and
fertile imaginations of some persons

Attention Focused Largely Upon

New York, Nov. 20.-Except for few
irregular and comparatively unimpor-

much like that Of the early part of the
week In the sense that attention was
I focused very largely upon one issue
Manhattan. The increased strength of
that stock added to the fast-growing
belief that important events dealing
with the local transportation system
are impending. Just what form these
probable events will take is still mat
ter of guesswork. Manhattan made
net gain of 31S points on very heavy
transactions.
The rest of the list, irregular for the
greater part Of the day, made some i'm
provement in the final hour, and the
closing was steady, though below the
best. Considerable strength was shown
by the Gould issues as a group at va
rious times, and there were spasmodic
rallies elsewhere. The early strength

and Nashville, Illinois Central and
Texas and Pacific, while Missouri Pa
cific was conspicuously strong. So OBJ

some of the issues named, Louisville
and Nashville breaking sharply, but
there was nothing like general SELL

ket Letter.
We have persistently advised our
customers the purchase of Manhattan.
Now that it has had a big rise it
might be advisable to take profits and
wait g. bit for developments. We do
not advise the selling of Copper as
yet; in fact, we think the upward
movement has probably only begun al
though there are likely to be sharp re-
actions at any time. The copper in
dustry has shown great improvement
during the past year. We believe pa
tient walters in the coppers will be
large winners. The low point has been
seen in most Of the railroad stocks.
A great deal has been said lately
about the 10 per cent. increase in wages
of railroad employees, but traders
should not forget that the railroad
companies are not philanthropists and
that the public will pay indirectly for
this increase. Indeed, move has al
ready been started towards general
advance in freight rates which will
probably go into effect soon.
