Called Steel Pool.

The manipula tors of the campaign in steel securities are often referred to as the steel pool. This appe1ation is only measureably correct, for there is in real ity no hard and fast arrangement except among a few of the really big fellows wh have percentage agreement as to a cer- tain line. This does not affect or regu- late operations of the individual mem- bers of the syndicate which amounts to more than the collective deal. Some of the storeis told of profits realized by the shareholders in this campaign would be incredible but for corroborative evidence from many sources.
 One phase of the pools operations has been heavy dealing in London calls. Calls on steel shares have been bought to the extent of many hundreds of thou sands of shares, a majority of these calls extending to January l, next. On the surface it would appear that London is a loser for not less than $20000,0O0 on the boom in American steel stocks through sales of calls. This is only on the face of things. however. for it is the practice of the privilege traders in Lon don to buy against sales of calls and sell against puts hedging all the way LID or down. The loss in that quarter s really paper loss The London optio, traders can never go broke on the sys- tenn they play.
 The manipulators of the bull campaisn in New York have by their wholesale purchases of London calls forced the London spectators to help them put the market up. They figured with certainty that for every 100000 calls bought in London that amount of stock would have to be bought here, which has proved to

remperance Will Prevail.

The country will not be allowed to get drunk again on prosperity and go to un- safe lengths This in brief is the pur- pose and plan of the men who run the large affairs of Wall street. The specu- lative pools and cliques will be restrained in their efforts to whoop things up and their operations will be curtailed and held within reasonable bounds. This may not be to their liking, but 1t will be meas ure of safety which the substantial and sane interests heartily endorse
 There has come upon the business com munity a better and broader understand ing of the significance of the extraordi- nary gold imitation which Is going on the world over. It is increasing the available supplies of money-the best money ever put into crculation-at prodigious ratc and this all means higher prices and gem eral business expansion. The present Is the golden age for enterprise. No other era in history parallels it. The promise may not be so bright for fixed invest ments for which the enlarged supply of money it's buying power may become less and those whose incomes depends on re- turns from bonds, mortgages and securi- ties of that class may not find their con- dition improved, but active enterprise must profit. A growing realization of this trend affords explanation for the increasing demand for securities having speculative as well as investment value.

campaion in Steel Stocks.

The campaign in the steel stocks is one
 of the largest and most important ever
 undertaken in Wall street. It began
 months ago and includes almost every
 important man in the financial district.
 It takes in J. Pierpont Morgan, John w.
 Gates and his following, H. H. Rogers
 Norman B. Ream, members of the so- called Rock Island crowd, c. M. Schwab "a late recruit-several of the big brok- craze houses, H. c. Prick, and the sote- rie of big plungers grouped around leading Pittsburg house, as we'll as prac- tically every member of the old steel crowd which has headquarters at T Broadway and meets after hours at the Waldorf. For nearly four months there has been heavy speculation in the steel stocks and an almost continuous ad- vance. Transactions have been on a large scale and within that time the trading has aggregated double or treble capitalization of the big metal trust The gamble has communicated to the minor steel and iron stocks, several of which have enjoyed fully as great rise as the leader. This Is conspicuously the case in Tennessee Coal and Iron, which has doubled In price and still moves on. Republic steel. Colorado Fuel and Iron and other industrials have par- although to lesser degree.

Wall Street Nervous.

Wall street was distinctly nervous the morning after election. It feared wild upheaval and the giants of the street came down to business prepared to del- uge the market with stocks if the neces- sity for so doing should arise. Not for two years has there been such a genu- inc outpouring of securities. This action had the desired effect for the time be- ing. It stopped what threatened to be a dangerous upheaval. As soon as this was accomplished the pressure was lift ed and the market allowed to slowly rise in obedanee to a very palpable de- sire of the public.

Discussing the Election.

The population of the financial quarter nas not yet stopped talking about the election and trying to measure its full meaning. Its temporary meaning is in- terpreted to be freedom from disturbing features having origin in politics, al- though upon this point some fears are entertained that the President may take it into his head to get after two or three of the trusts which obtrude themselves upon the public gaze-notably the coal trust and the beef trust. Former Secre- tary of the Treaury John G. Carlisle voiced the view of the conservatives in a post-election conversation in which he said that the outcome would, in his opin- ion, be the creation of a powerful rad
 ical party which would take in many hitherto discontented clements of democ- racy He referred especially to the con- stituencies ranged under the leadership of

be the case, and so the play has gone on. As 1t progressed trade conditions improv- ca so that the players and organizers of the movement became themselves enthu- siastic, and are today almost unanimously prophesying a record year in the metal business form 1905 To them everything appears rosy. As one of them remarked to the writer: Iron and steel are crazy, copper is crazy, lead is crazy, tin is crazy and everything that enters into manufacture has caught the fever and is going wild. I see only one wind up to this and one conclusion to from which is that the country is entering upon an- other era of extraordinary prosperity"

| ments of everyone. There is nothing in
 the simple man that can appeal to one
 half of existence of the man whose very
 life depends upon the quotations that ap-
 pear on the ticker in Wall Street Some
 where in the depth of his nature there
 may remain some sort of a desire for
 simple existence far away from the
 sound of this ticker and the excitement
 accompanying the fuctuating quotations
 but he realizes fully that there is no
 simple life for him. The organism so
 long sustained at high pressure speed
 would soon rust in the calmer atmosphere
 of a simple life of any sort.
 Is there simple life for the footlight favorite? The man or woman who has learned to love the limelight of publicity and the applause of the public? It has become an essential part of their exist ence-the bread and meat. Where Is there simple life for them? What can the simple life mean to them? It means that the very ambitions that have sus- tained them in their every effort would be set at naught and a complete revoIu- tfon in thought, sentiment and desire. Would such life be beneficial to them? It Is hard to see where it could be- There Is but one course left open to them. They must and will continue to live be- fore the public and in the minds of the public and there is no simple life pos sible for them
 There is even no simple life for the great preachers-those modern examples of the One whose desire was for a sim ole life. For there is no more conspicu- Jus figure in the public life of today than he popular and able pulpit orator. How yer strong the desire in his heart for the imple life may be it is an imposslbility. 4e is in continual demand for public unctlons at every turn.

WHAT IS A SIMPLE LIFE?
BY PHINEAs FLETCHER.

There Is 10 phase in such common use
 at the present day as ''the simple life"
 and there IS no phrase that has been so
 literally translated for each and every
 person who has written on the subject
 of the simple life has evolved different
 life as the proper exempliflcation of an
 existence that would merit the term. Of
 course the theory of the simple life that
 is most popular at present is that enun-
 ciated by pastor Charles Wagner. Dr.
 Felix Adler has also expressed his views
 On the subject and the opinions of this ethical authority are materially different from those of the German author.
 The ract is that upon no question will the mind Of man vary so widely as upon that as to what really constitutes a sim pie life. A simple life in the eyes of the society devoeee would constitute a wildly hilarious one to the mind of the person who has known nothing but rural and obscure existence. That the present ten- cency of society Is toward anything but simple life is too true and it Is to be contemplated with genuine alarm, for American society now has about reached the limit Tn its excesses and its pursuit or novelty Al well meaning persons are olsgusted with a social organization that encourages monkey dinners and while there is bound to have been more or less newspaper congregations in the published | accounts of inc details of thjs and similar | aHalrs there certainly Is a semblance of | truth in what has been said about them. l The past season has been particularly | Tree from published accounts of exhibi- | tions of this nature, but 1t does not mean that less ridiculous things have been ocne, because even Newport society has awakened to the fact that its doing ap- pear better in print after the accounts or them have been carefully censored
 There is no more difficult task than to oeflne a plan of action that will result in simple life that will meet the require

Continuing, he said: q have told some of my friends in the conservative wing of the party who have had control of the recent campaign that they are sowing the wind and would reap the whirlwind,' and that they were making conditions which are concentrat- Ing under one head to make a great and powerful radical party as opposed to tha conservatives.

WISDOM WILL PREVAIL
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

New York. November 12.-The powerful money interests In Wall street nave no desire to see a runaway stock market and will unouestionably put on the brakes should the danger of a wild speculative craze become imminent. The election re- suit Is almost unanimously construed In the financial district as a popular en- dorsement of the stand pat principle and a refusal to encourage the introduce tion of disturbing clements into com fortable and healthful situation. At the same time the need of repressive meas ures Is fully appreciated and 1t may be accepted that moderation will be insisted upon in stock movements as vel as in de- velopments of every kind within the con trol of the leaders of finance and trade
 Disasters of 19O2-S are fresh in mind and every effort will be made to prevent a repetition. These disasters were greatly intensified by reason of the riot of stock gambling and the quotation Of watered enterprises. Carried away by the as- founding progress of national prosperity contemplating men in every part Of the country committed the error of over-eX-
 
 tension and hard season of enforced re- action and retrenchment followed, at- tended by tremendous money losses which fell on the most progressive ele- ment in every community.
 The losses have been in part made up and there has dawned upon the country a new era of progress and development. A wonderful change has come over the industrial and trade situation within the last sixty days and the election verdict is taken to mean a popular belief that It is to continue. There Is every promise for low rates for money until well along into another year and by that time the existing supplies of unsold railroad and industrial bonds will have been absorbed and capital realized thereon for embarka- ton in active channels. If the public should engage in another stock gambling orgie this programme might be interfered with, a contingency which will be guard ed against by the banking interests and their associates in every possible way A return to legitimate conditions will be encouraged as matter of course, but never for a moment will the necessity for preventing ver-stimulation be forgotten.
