questiondDiy take hlgh rank AMONG IitS
factors now shaping sentiment.
Against the prediction Of traders VINO
believe that prices will go lower. it may
be well to place certain factors on which
advocates of higher prices base their
claims They point to the fact that
stocks are selling under their actual
worth, that weak holdings have been
liquidated, that investors and large in
stitutions have been putting securities
away in strong boxes, that the leading
men in the country are going on record
as bulls, that the crops are making raw
orable progress, and that the country's
financial situation is sound. Arguments,
no matter how sound. often fail 20 in
fluence a stock market. and despite the
generally admitted strength of the stu
alton bull factors may have their inning
at present.
1t would. indeed. appear almost idle
to expect that after such an experience
as operators in stocks have been through
during the present year there can be
any immediate and sustained demand on
the part Of the public for securities. In
fact, except that the protracted decline
in prices has not been attended by the
usual phenomena of panic. the actual
results have been practically identical
with those which would have prevailed
had the market passed through panic

4 per cent basis for the present at least.
No dividend action on second preferred

Advices from abroad say France con-
tinues to be much interested in our
bond market and inquiry in New York
shows that steady absorption of first
class bonds by the French is going on
there. Both French and British invest
.ors are favorably impressed by the
strength of the financial situation there.
The fairly general state of bewilder-
ment in which the Wall Street corn
munity, outside. perhaps. of the highest
and innermost financial circles, now
stands, with regard to the situation At
large, has produced an impression
which amounts almost to a conviction
that there must be some concealed and
suppressed explanation of the prevail
/ ing state of things which is not as yet
available to the man in the street. AT
the most this theory is a negative one,
| but recognizing that nothing happens
uncaused. and witnessing pronounced
results without being able TO detect the
/ reasons therefor. il is perhaps not un-
natural that the speculative community
! at any rate. should seek for explanation
outside the ordinary channel.
The pursuit of this line of theorizine
is necessarily unsatisfying, and, indeed
if there is any fact whatever underlying
it, it will not be revealed merely toT

INEXPRESSIBLY SAD.

A picture sad enough to
make the heart of "a strong
man sink within hlm-aad
bring tears to the eyes OF an,
gels, could be seen upon the
streets Saturday last. A
bright boy, not yet out, OF his
teens, who resides not many
miles from Edgeheld, was
reeling and staggering
maudlin drunk. Doing no
one any harm, however, ex-
cept himself. 1t is sad to see
a man of mature years en-
thralled by the demon, strong
drink, but it is a thousand
times sadder to see a tender
youth fall victim of this evil.
Who can blame the boy?
While his mother is a refined ,
cultured, affectionate, Chris
tan woman, his father has
been a confirmed drunkard
for years and the boy is only
doing what he has so often
seen his father do. God pity
the mother God help the
father! God save the boy +!
Reader, if you are the father
ofIa family and God has bless
ed your home with a bright
boy, is your daily walk and
conver sation such as you
would have that Of your boy
to be? Are you helping the
wife of your bosom to train
your children or does your
example counteract her ct.
forts to teach them Alright:
Think on these things.
