not cheap-for they are; but that in
view OF the crop uncertainty and the
money market situation it is deemed
the part of wisdom and conservatism to
go slow at this time. BEYOND this il is
not desired that there shall be any in
reference with the digestion OF new
securities now going CD through invest
ment and other absorption. Speculative
enthusiasm and a wild uprush of prices
would effectually stop this, and for that
reason they will not be tolerated. Thus,
at least, runs the talk IN banking quar-
tiers. where conservatism has been
preached these many months. Here also
it is pointed out there is no knowing
when and where other weak spots
like the Canadian collapse may be un-
covered.

Brokers report that the public cannot
be induced TO buy stocks under any con-
sideration at the present time-this be-
cause intimidated by the knowledge that
in few months the Northern Securities
case will have to be determined finally;
that soon thereafter politics will be a
live issue, and that in the interim the
crop and money situations may develop
in a none too pleasing way. The inter
esting part Of this is that these skeptics
admit that at the present level stocks
are cheap, but that despite this they
ought not to be bought. A few brokers
there are who report erstwhile custom
ers too busy attending to their own

honors. such as gold medals from the
Royal Astronomical Society of Great
Britain and from the Rumford and

already had a large part in inducing
cooperation among the leading astrono-

1886 he wrote a pamphlet, entitled "A
Plan for the Extension Of Astronomical

Not a day went by during The last

part Of the Capitol, evidently under the

which the tourists learn early in the
game IS that nobody is allowed to
smoke in the Capitol except Congress-
men; they learn that through the con
