The Ubtauitous MOSQUITO.

The mosquito wanders pretty much
all over the world, and is found from
the tropics to Lapland, where it is also
a great pest. So numerous are mos
quitoes in some localities in South
America that the wretched inhabitants
sleep with their bodies covered OveT
with sand three or four inches deep
the head only being left out. which
they cover with a handkerchief. Even
thick clothes afford at best a very par
tiel protection, being readily penetrat
ed by the proboscis.

posed TO buy moderately on the 10-point

TRADING ELEMENT
SELLS MARKET UP
Based on the Theory That
Prices Are Too High.


During the past week the trading ese-
meUt has Persistently sold the market
up on the theory that prices are too
high, and that the present range OF
values Is due to manipulation rather
,hau TO intrinsic merit II is true there
has been manipulation. and that 1t was
crude in It's execution, but, notwiJh-
standing. prices show only slight de-
c!ines over week age with the excep-
zion OF few stocks The result of this
constant selling on the short side has
created an oversold condition Of the
market, which is one OF the great ele-
ments OF strength in the present situa-
ton. While the trading element may
be 5earIsh. it does not follow their po-
sition is sound
The judgment Of a room-trader as to
the ultimate future Of events is of the
uarrowest and most circumscribed
character and changes as general rule
with the day
If there is no alteration IN the con
dition OF affairs since the formation Of
his last opinion. he continues bull or
a bear until the next rumor suggests a
change He reads the tape and goes
with the market. He is simply trader
and nothing more
In the past week the market has been
extremely dull. and. with the exception
Of Erie. no one stock has been particu-
Iarly active. except Rock Island aud
Reading. The movement in Erie is en-
compassed in mystery. and no authentic
statement has yet been made to &C
count for its great activity All sorts
of rumors have been circulated. First,
as to competitive buying between Nor
gan and Gould interests, so as to give
the Could system an outlet on the At
Iantic seaboard: then the rumor that
Rock Island had made bid for the

stock would be retired etc. etc. But the
fact remains. Mr.. Morgan and Mr. Hin
