NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.

There appears TO be no uncertainty in
Wall Street circles over the probable
course of the stock market in the next
few months Despite the enormous aD-
probation that has already taken place
in securities values, the greater number
of Wall Street spectators have thrown
caution 10 the winds and are making
their market ventures in the confident
belief that the movement OF values Will
continue 10 run in the direction of high
er quotations Tor many months 10 come.
Ii Is a fact, and a well-known fact. that
the larger speculative and investment
interests are still working on the long
side of the market, and from the general
characteristics OF the current Wall
Street business il is not difticul to real
iZe that the great financial powers are
not yet ready for declining market.
There is no doubt that general condi-
uOns are growing stronger every day.
that the cOuntTy's power of absorption
for new stocks and bonds is larger than
ever before, and that the position of the
cOuntry's money supply encourages an
active demand for ali first-class invest
ment issues. OF course. if money rates
at this center should be quoted at
high leYel for a prOtFacted period the
demand for securities at present prices
would become less active, but according
10 the opinion of the best observers
money rates will not rule at an ad-
Vanced level for any length OF time, the
ideas of these observers favOring the
theory that after the turn of the year
call funds will return 10 the per cent
rate, with a corresponding reaction IN
the rates for time funds
The enormous dealings and sensational
advance in the United States Steel sink
ing fund bonds and in the preferred
stock apparently fOreshawOd further
financing, such as sale of the balance
of the bonds held in the Treasury and
a resumption of the preferred stock con-
version plan, which WAS brought 10
a halt many months ago, owing TO the
adverse conditions which prevailed at
that time, and which made the plan
far from successful. The company holds
In its treasury $2J 900. .ON of bonds rep
reseuting the balance Of the $4,000 600 in
bonds which were authorized TO be sold
for cash at par under the terms OF the
conversion scheme. These bonds cannot
be sold for less than par, and II the
outstanding issues can be advanced TO
that level il doubtless Will be an easy
matter for the corporation Jo dispose
of the remaining bonds.

The brain is one Of the most pa.

body. 1t can be induced by good
treatment to perform prodigie, Of la
Dor. Few realize its capabilities and
endurance. But it is sensitive. 1t
will not long brook abuse. 1t briskly
responds to the whip at first, but if
the lash is laid on too hard and often
it balks. 1t insists upon having plen-
