Active Stocks Are Subjected TO
Violent Action
OoDD A WONDERFUL MAN
Is the Confidential Counsel of Rookie.
Teller and His Word Is Law,
Tipsters Are Reaping
Great Harvest.
BY w. C. NICHOLAS.

New York, October 29.-The excitement
in the stock market this week at times
has approached hysteria. The active
stocks have been subjected to violent
action, being churned up and down with
great rapidity and with the most eccen-
trio disregard of normal influences. 1t
has been no uncommon thing for the
leaders to jump or points in day
and break back nearly as far Under
cover of this frenzied activity there has
been heavy and general liquidation of
pooled stocks. Large lines bought by
the banking interests very much lower
down have been unloaded upon the public
and there is widespread belief that the
cleaning out process has been thorough.
The leaders and the chief participants in
the great bull campaign have for the
most part taken their profits and are
now either out of the market or bearishy
disposed. Many constitutional bulls will
lie back in anticipation of a big reaction
and in the confident expectation of being
able to get in again at lower prices.
They are bulls on the general situation,
but feel that speculation has gone too
far and that legitimate business improve
ment has been more than discounted.
This was the view expressed by Mr. Van
derlip in his recent speech at st. Louis.
That utterance Is being now recalled and
discussed with greater earnestneSs than
Ii was at the time of deliVerance.

Beautiful Capitol Park.

Capitol park, the beautiful central plot
at the highest point on North Twentieth
street, occupying about five acres, was
so named from the fact that when the
plot was donated to tie city it was
stipulated in the deed by the Elyton Land
company, the donor, that if at any time
the people of Alabama should vote to
move the state capitol to Birmingham
the property should revert to the state
for such purpose. Hence the name. Much
money has been spent upon this park in
grading, terracing, shading, paving, etc,
and by the placing there of rich and rare
flowers. with a funtain in the center.
AT the front entrance. facing south ard
overlooking the business center of the
city, is already constructed a pedestal for
II Confederate monument which The
Daughters Of the Confederacy are soon
to erect of Alabama pure white marble
Here, temporarily stationed, is one of
the cannon captured from the Spanish
fleet and presented to the city by the
war department through the influence of
Congressman Underwood This piece will
be removed from its present position, but

Dodd a Remarkable Man.

S. C. r. Dodd, John D. Rockefeller's
confidential counsel, is one of the most
remarkable men Of the period. He is the
one man in the world outside of Mr..
Rockefeller who knows ali the secrets
| of the mighty Standard Oil monopoly.
| He is the one man in the world in whom
! the financial colossus reposes entire con-
| hdence. By those of the inner circle he
| has long been recognized as Mr.. Rookie
! fellers personal representative and his
| word is paramount at 26 Broadway. So
far as known there has never been
clash of authority between him and any
of the lesser Rockefellers or II. II. Rog-
ers but If the question of precedence in
the affairs of the institution should arise
Dodds will would prevail. for he Is es-
sentially IT. Mr. Dodd does not pretend
| to be a financivr or a master in stock
market manipulation. 1t is rather with
questions of policy that he dabbles. He
might properly be described as the Rock
efeller secretary OF state, and to him is
| given political direction of the Standard
| Oil and its destinies. Control of matters
| pertaining to money and trade is vested
| in William Rockefeller and II. II. Rogers
| The two younger Rockefeliers are being
| trained to take the places of their faith
| ers. Neither has the surprising genius
of the sires, but as they VIII only have to
| take care of what their parents have
created their task will not call for an
exercise of superhuman talent
Mr.. Dodd's denial that the Standard
Oil lti-mllionaires are banded together
for speculation discredits his entire state
ment, for everybody in Wall street knows
to the contrary. The Dodd statement has
barely the virtue of technical accuracy
1t Is no doubt true that Standard Oil as
a corporation sticks closely to it's legiti-
mate business. but there can be no
truthful denial of the obvious and fla
grant fact that Standard OIL multi-mil
lionaires are powerfully active in bank
ing, promotion and speculation in and
about Wall street. 1t is also notorious
that these interests work in entire har-
mony and that by reason of the enor-
nous wealth of the aggregation and its
varied connections the Standard Oil party
dominates the financial situation on
every important emergency. Standard
Oil influence for a depression or for a
rise in values has come 20 being irresist-
ible.

Gates Makes Killing.

John W. Gates and his intimate assoel-
ates have made big killing in the stock
market, greatly to the annoyance oil
large element in Wall street which would
Ike to see him go broke. Colonel Gates
IS the especial antipathy of the Standard
Oil crowd, j. Pierpont Morgan and many
others. He is looked upon in that section
as wild, untamed proposition, who can
never be brought under restraint or made
amenable to the rules of the club. lie
insists upon conducting his own game
after his own fashion. The whole street
is IN combination against him. Oeea-
slonaily the street gets a piece of his
hide but in the grand round up he is
shown to be largely ahead of the game.
Within the week he has sold out an I'M
mense line of stocks, said to be over
4oO0O0 shares, and to have taken down
profit in excess of $5,0O0O00 He was one
OF the early bulls in Atlantic Coast Line,
Louisville and Nashville, Atchison, I'm
ion Pacific and the Readings. He was
also bullish on many other stocks, As
ISOLATED with Colonel Gates in his cam
paign were John w. Drake and two or
three others of minor Importance Loyal
Smi..-. who was formerly one of Gates
running mates, is now playing lone
hand and on occasions has cen known
to say harsh things of the Chicago
plunger.

The Sensitive Woman.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Every one knows her. She has two
deep lines between her eyes and plant
i've droop to the corners of her mouth
and to her eyebrows.
If any one speaks harshly, he means
Her"
If any one criticises a fault, he means
Her
Whatever is said she al les to self
Every coat seems to it her and she
puts it on.
She wears all the boots that pinch,
She carries chip on her shoulder from
morning till night and whenever any
one comes near her she expects it to be
Knocked off. The result is the same-she
is offended, grieved, hurt she is so ensi-
tive
She is losing all the healthy enjoyment
that comes her way.
She is missing half her life, because
she is looking for snubs.
She says she can't help it. She can
1t is a very easy matter to let those
Sights. imagined or real. roll off one
like water off a ducks back. IT takes
little bravery for the first three or four
weeks, but after that it comes natural
enough.
The sensitive woman is one of the most
misera BILE in the world. 1t doesn't pay
to be miserable. especially when
healthy effort will bring happiness.

Hill Causes Distress.

The gentlemen on the curb are greatly
distressed on account Of James j. Hilfs
partiality to foreign holders of Northern
Securities stock, of which there are seY-
eral hundred. OF his own motion Mr..
Hill arranged to advance to small for
eign stockholders 81. 100000 in the shape OF
a 215 per cent dividend pending the judi
cial settlement of the IIil-Harriman con-
troversy. The gossips of the street have
worked themselves into quite fury of
Indignation over Mr.. Hills failure to IN
clude the American holders in his distri-
button. The grizzly old autocrat of the
northwestern railroad world doesn't seem
to care, however, and goes grumblngly
on his way after his own peculiar man
ner. The old man seldom feels called
upon to consult either the wishes or the
conVeniences of other people, especially
the people of Wall street for whom he
processes profound contempt

Lawson Declared Crazy.

II. II. Rogers organ. the New York
Commercial edtorially declares that
Tom Lawson of Boston is crazy. Lawson
does appear to strike wild when he gives
it out through his magazine that some
years ago $100.000,O00 of French capital
was pledged to back scheme of his to
break the system a term by which he
1esisnates the Standard Oil mGchire
There is also a suspicion of dope in the
additional Lawson statement that he
turned down the Gallo $10O,0O0,000, believ-
ing that at some future time he would
have the amount at his own disposal
Having commenced his campaign to de-
stroy the system the assumption is
natural that he has the Sl0O,OO0.OOO at his
command Lawson is further embar-
raised by the official announcement that
there Is no foundation whatever for his
picturesque story of having come TO the
rescue of the Westinghouse company and
successfully engineered their mammoth
stock deal for the upbuilding of that con-
Germ and the stock market discontinue

BREAD THE STAFF
OF BUSINESS LIFE
THE MAR TIN CRACKER COMPANY
AMONG THE LEADING INDUS
TRIAL ENTERPRISES OF THE
CITY-GRoWlNG EACH YEAR.

Bread is the staff of life." and this
being true. not an industry in all of this
district can be sustained without this
one supporting element.
In all of our discussion of the greater
factors of the Birmingham district this
essential element may have been over
looked.
The Martin Cracker company is home
institution of great prominence and value
to the community. 1t gives employment
to a large number of worthy people and
absolute sustenance to thousands.
Though young among the industries of
the district the company sells its products
over the entire south; and its output is
highly appreciated in birmingham, as is
evidenced by the immense sales made at
home.
Its large plant on Avenue A Is one of
the attractive manufacturing concerns or
the city, and runs day and night.
The Martin Cracker company is home
concern in the strictest sense of the
word, does not belong to the trust, and
can make as close prices on products as
any cracker concern in the world.
The officers of the company are; d.
NJ. Drennen, president; E. L. Martin,
vice-president; P. II. Linnehan, treas
urer; b. b. Martin, general manger; H..
d. Mills. secretary.
Is. b. Martin is in charge of the affairs
at the factory, and to his able manage
ment is largely due the success OF the
company. He is a practical baker, and
knows every detail of the business.
Such men as b. b. Martin constitute
the genuine basis of our city's prosper
ity. Few men in the district are entitled
to more credit for the building up OF the
city. Call the Martin Cracker company
one of the smaller industries II you
will hut If ia one of the most impor-
tant.
Each year it adds to its patronizng
territory and increases its output, and IS
therefore entitled to a front place among
the list of Birmingham's Industrial en-
terpriseS

Roorbacks Numerous.

Wall street is inundated with roorbacks.
Nothing is too absurd to be sprung on
the speculative fraternity and given in
slant credence This condition has bred
a multitude of bob-tailed pools whose
only capital is the ability to buy a few
hundred shares or stock and then spring
the report that Jim Keene William
Rockefeller II. IT, Rogers or James
Stillman is behind the deal and is going
to boost the stock skyward. Immediately
the credulous traders jump in and buy
some of the stock, thereby marking up
quotations ana enabling the organizers of
the pools to sell out at profit. This
scheme is being played every day. with
the result thar the lambs are being land
ed with stocks at fictitious values. The
professional tipsters are availing them
selves of these conditions to work up
big clienteles. Thousands upon thou
sands of the unsophistcated subscribe to
the service given out by these tipsters,
paying from s. a week to $50 a month
for advice which is worse than worthless.
While the market is on the general up
turn these tipsters cannot make many
mistakes. Anything they tip is bound to
advance and their regulations for market
wisdom spreads and their customers null
tiply. Everybody wants their inside in
formation. The wind-up is invariably
the utter extingushment of whatever
money may be invested in the market on
the strength of these advioes. for reac-
tions are bound to occur. The tipster
business has become epidemic and the
financial pages of the Sunday papers are
overlooking with the advertisements of
the wiseacres, each and every one of
whom proclaims grandiloquently that he
is strictly on the inside and enjoys con-
fidential relations with the leaders of the
market Jim" Keene, William Rookie
Teller, II. II. Rogers. J. Pierpont Morgan,
John w. Gates. each and every one, call
the tipsters in every morning for con-
sultaton and for full disclosure of the
plans of the day. These 'ipsrers occupy
back rooms in cheap office buildings and
are in constant fear and trembling lest
McCluskey and his plain clothes men will
get them

Rand an Addition.

e. c. M. Rand is the latest addition
to the army of professional litigants in
Wall street. He is out this week with an
invitation to stockholders and bondhold-
ers of Jim crow Iowa railroad to turn
their securities over to him as a founda-
ton for litigation against the Rock lsland
railroad. a former lessee Rand was at
one time a subordinate clerk for Rus
sell Sage, for whom he occasionally
worked in the line of investigation OF
railway accounts. After being fired by
Sage he instituted a number of suits
against the venerable mlser for BACK
pay. He subsequently engaged in other
litigation of a frivolous sort and MS
last attempt has been characterized by
the news agencies of the Street as too
foolish to talk about.

Telephone Glrss of Europe.

From the Rome Secolo.
A London correspondent who has Lon
Paris Milan wire in his room writes
that in his opinion the telephone girl is
not an angel. He finds the London tele-
phone girls slow and Indifferent, the
French intractable and impertinent. When
the Whitaker Wright trial was pro-
ceeding he found himself late with some
news and rushed to the telephone. Abso-

Vulcan, tne colossal iron statute which
speaks of birmingham SO strongly at the
