FEARED ANOTHER BLACK FRI
DAY.

Black Friday, when half the institu-
tlons of Wall Street failed because the
government suspended specie payment,
occurred "a years ago yesterday. 1t
would have been very blue Friday yes
terdsy had not the big banking institu-
tions gotten together and supported the
stock market. Conditions approaching
decentralization prevailed at the opening
of the market. The weakness of the
Morgan stocks on the day preceding
and the enormous liquidation which ac-
companied it, had caused the gravest
apprehension. Those who had believed
that the crisis had passed in midsummer
again became frightened.
The late conference held in Wall
street Wednesday night at Mr.. Morgan's
Office was really to consider ways and
means sf opening the public's eyes to
the true state of affairs. Talking to the
public like a Dutch uncle doesn't do
any good. Mr.. Morgan tried that
last spring, when he talked about
"undigested securities" and has been
sorry for it ever since. He has hit
upon more effective plan--that is,
10 support the market in weak spots
until the public gets over its present
pessirnism. That is what he did yester-
day, and, while there were many low
points reached again in the general de-
cline which followed the opening, and
several vicious bear attacks, which
brought more declines after Mr.. Nor
gan had rallied them, Wall street closed
the day in very much more confident
spirit than it opened it.
The great trouble has been that a lack
of harmony among the big financial in
terests has up to this time prevented any
concerted action among them. There
fore, the two factions in the market de-
cided the other day to forget their differ
ences and unite for mutucl protection.
That is why Mr. Hartman called upon
Mr.. Morgan. Wall street believes that
be bore a peace message from the Stand
ard Oil interests, who think that things
have gone far enough. According to
Wall street authorities itlooks as though
there is going to be general getting to-
gether in the financial district.
The Northern Securities Company is
to be the common meeting ground. The
Northern Pacific fight Of two years ago
precipitated the conflict, which has con-
tinued ever since.
The coming together of Hartman
and Morgan has resulted in the offer
made to Judge Grosscup of large sum
of money as retainer to retire from the
federal bench and argue the Northern
Securities case before the United States
Supreme Court. Wall street hears that
if Judge Grosscup accepts the offer he
will receive one Of the largest retainers
ever paid in America for his services,
and life position as attorney and coun-
sci for the Morgan-Harriman group of
roads. According to Wall streets re-
port Judge Grosscup has been offered
800, 900 and a fat salary thereafter.
As the Judge is poor man-his salary
at present is only IS, 000-this offer is
very tempting one.

a PurQatiye Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little Early
Risers for biliousness or constipation you
know what a purgatiye pleasure is. These
famous little pills cleanse the liver and rid
the system of all bile without producing un'
pleasant effects. They do not gripe, sicken
or weaken, but give tone and strength to the
tissues and organs involved. W. II. Howell,
of Houston. Texas, says "No better pill can
be used than Little Early Risers for eo9nstip1-
