Bulls, Bears and Lambs.
One entering Wall street for the first time
might imagine that it was the Geological
Garden, for almost the first thing he hears
about is of bulls and bears" and
lambs" He looks around, but sees no
animals, save those OF human shape, and
these, indeed, constitute the bulls, bears
and lambs Of Wall street The bull, hav-
ing horns tosses things up, and hence has,
for two centuries, been adopted as the type
of the man who believes that prices should
go up. He Is the optfmist of speculation
The bear is the antithesis of the bull. He
is the pessimist the believer in lower prices.
When he puts his faith into practice he
sells what he does not own, and thus prob
ably gets his name from the person who
centuries ago used to sell bearskins before
he had succeeded in shooting the bears. A
lamb is an innocent outsider who, knowing
nothing about stocks or speculative opera
tions, rushes in where angels would fear

FREE FROM RESTRAINT.
Sunday Liberty Is Now Com
meuded

mended.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 8. 1908.
The most noticeable fact about the first
big Sunday of Asbury Parks summer
season was the freedom from the restraint
which has so long characterized the day
at the resort. Asbury Park Is pre-emi-
nently orderly, and, although. there Is no
sign of exaggerated ideas as to what COM
prises Sunday liberty, the erstwhile gloom
which has suggested to the one-day vis-
itor vision Of blue law days in colonial
New England has been eradicated already.
The self-denial which was forced on would
be bathers heretofore. by compelling the
closing of the bathing paviliors at IL am
and the clearing Of the beach at 1 o'clock
is no longer necessary. The bath houses
remain open until l pm. and the city au-
thorities promise that even this liberal
bathing period will be extended If the tre-
mendous midseason crowds make after
noon bathing desirable.
The city council is working hard to make
Asbury Park known to the many promi-
nent organizations as desirable conven-
ton place and to that end have extended
an invitation to the Baptist Young People, s
Union to visit the resort in 1904.
The deserved popularity OF the beach
band concerts is remarked by returning
visitors and good sized crowds gather at
both the afternoon and evening perform
ances. A pleasing relief from the parched
state of the boardwalk in the neighborhOod
of the musicians is occasiOned by the
broadened boardwalk and the concerts are
now more truly promenade affairs than
ever before.

stocks usually belong to the investment
class. the same as bonds. Speculation is
almost entirely In the common stocks, be-
cause the amount of their earning power
depends upon the varying and uncertain
conditions of the country, and there can be
no speculation except in uncertainty.
Now the stock market affords a place
where. the stocks may be bought and sold,
and as the number of companies has In
creased the Importance of the stock
market has grown. This market affords
an opportunity for the promotion Of new
companies and for investment in its securi-
ties. The creation of stocks and bonds has
infinitely expanded the field Of investment.
There was a time when if a man saved
any money out of his annual income he
could invest it only in land. Now he can
invest it in stocks and bonds with the ad-
vantage that he can hold the securities
easily and safely, and that there exists
all the time a market where he can dis
pose of them. This has been of incalculable
benefit, immensely increasing the surplus
wealth of the people.
Every Citizen Interested.
The number of persons who own stocks
and bonds In the United States must reach
into the millions. Indirectly the larger
part of the population has no small stake
in the stock market Every depositor In

interested in Wall street. The savings

WELL UNDER WAY.
Fine Start to the Season in Coming
Horse Show.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LONG BRANCH, N. j., July 8, 1903.
The gay season at the Hollywood Hotel
is well under way, and the mana cement is
furnishing program of great interest to
the fashionable colony there assembled
One of the chief features of the weeks en-
tertainment was the vaudeville and musi-
cal entertainment on the lawn this even
ing. Professional singers and monologists
from New York furnished the entertain
ment. after which refreshments were
served, and the latter end of the evening
was given up to informal dancing. An or
chestra plays for all the dances in addi-
ton to giving lawn concerts every other
night, and an elaborate two-hour concert
each Sunday evening.
The Monmouth county horse show, al
though three weeks off, bids fair to sur
pass any previous event Of this character
since the establishment of the association
The government appropriation for the
erection of new life saving station on
the ocean front near the foot of Takanas-

and as the appropriation was one of 1880
the cottagers owning property in the i'm
mediate neighborhood are earnestly hop
ing that work will soon be commenced and
an attractive structure erected on the
ground. which is now occupied by one Of
the poorest structures in service along the
Atlantic coast.
The West End Hotel boasts of one of
the finest orchestras at any Of the big
seaside houses Music is not only fur
nished for dancing at the hotel. but many
selections are rendered by the orchestra
each day.
An interesting feature of the days pro-
gram at the Hollywood Hotel is the
rival of the handsome coach Bull and
Bear" The coach stops for change of
horses at the Hollywood. where refresh
ments are served on the lawn before the
company leaves on their journey to Hath

to tread in order to try his luck In the
stock market. 1t Is little wonder that he
is usually well sheared. Speculation is a
fine art, requiring brains, expert knowledge,
experience, courage, a rare combination of
qualities, to insure success. The investor
buys incomes for permanent holdings. The
speculator buys them for sale at a profit.
The gambler simply bets on prices. He
makes little or no study of values, but
trusts mainly to blind chance. All three
classes exist in Wall street. and it Is the
combination of the three that imparts to
the street that extraordinary variety of
legitimate achievement and of unwhOle-
some and demoralizing reckessness and
folly. SERENO s. PRATT.

Each individual interest in company is
represented by shares 1t is customary In
larger corporations to divide the capital
into shares of s1O0 each and the interest
Of each stakeholder IL measured by the
number of shares he holds. The company
issues certificates to the stockholders. which
afford evidence of their ownership of shares.
These certificates are usually for 100

stock into two classes, common and pre-
ferred. the holders of the latter being guar
