FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Watson & Co. from New York: Somewhat I'M
favorable bank statement, with disappointing
indianapolis, should cause a halt in the market.
but the clearing up of the Venezuelan matter,
together with short interest should prevent ma
terial decline.
Whallon Case & Co. from New York: The
market looks all right to me. Am great be-
lever in the low-priced issues. such as Reading.
Island. Now that the Venezuelan situation seems
to be clearing and most likely will be entirely
out Of the way within the next week. the mar
ket should be again taken hold of by the. vari-
GUS cliques. '-.'..
New York to Charles e. Lewis: Speculative
temper favors lower prices this morning. An
attempt may be made soon after the opening
to bid up stocks fractionally, however. Europe
seems to be paying more attention to the war
cloud looming up in the Balkans. We think
1t we'll for traders to be very cautious about
making new commitments to-day: Some of the
stocks ready to- advance as son as insiders deem
it advisable are American Foundry, American
Shelter and Ontario & Western. London heavy.

of the Hindoo mothers who threw their
babies into the Ganges in order to ap-
pease the wrath of the gods. One of the
lunatic, bulldog like chap, glared at the
speaker so intenty that. the latter won
dered if he really had succeeded in crent-
ing some interest. When he had finished
he approached the man who glared and
taking him by the hand politely asked il
