NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Although the
market opened on an average Il above
London quotations there was an unusual
confidence IN the way the arbitrage
houses bought the list freely for Lon
don account. This buying had a great
deal 70 do with prices, for the market
became heavy early during the second
hour. when cabling ceased
\ little later the home demand for
stocks rallied them all again. and the
tone ut noon was strong
London practically made the market

followed by houses like G. D. Barney &

and others. Advances made at the
opening were only well maintained. but
further material gains were made in
Union Pacific, Reading. Erie, and fFexi-
can Central.
The chief feature was the absence of
supply OF stocks at anywhere near yes

said that there has been any extensive

were the heaviest sellers since wednes-
dry noon apparently being without Or

Jacob Field was on the floor trading
heavily on both sides of Reading. There
seemed to be some buying by First Ma

buying is most prominent IN Union Pa

no fundamental relation; yet in reality
they spring from shortcomings which
are fundamentally the same; and one
of these shortcomings is the failure 20
have proper ideals.
This failure must be remedied in
large part by the actions of you and
your fellow-educators throughout this
land. BY your lives, no less than by
your teachings you show that while you
regard wealth as a good thing, you
regard other things as still better. 1t
is absolutely necessary to earn a cer-
tain amount of money; it is man S
first duty to those dependent upon him
to earn enough for their support; but
after certain point has been reached
money-making can never stand on the
same plane with other and nobler
forms of effort The roll of Ameri-
can worthless numbers men like Wash
IngtOn, and Lincoln, Grant and Farra-
gut, Hawthorne and Poe, Fulton and
Morse, st. GaUdenS and MacMonnies;
it numbers statesmen and soldiers
men of letters, artists, SculptOrS, men
of science, inventors, explorers, road
makers. bridge builders. philanthro-
pists, moral leaders in great reforms;
it numbers men who have deserved
we'll i'm any one of the countless fields
Oh ACTIVITY, DuI OF f1Cn men 1t numbers
only those who have use dtheir riches
Alright, who have treated wealth not as
an end, but as a means, shown good
conduct in acquiring it and not mere
ly lavish generosity in disposing of it.
Thrice fortunate are you to whom
it is given to lead lives of reSOlute
endeavor for the achievement of lofty
Ideals. and, furthermore, to inStill
both by your lives and by your teih
ings, these ideals into the minds OIL
those who in the next generation will,
as the men and women of that genera
uion determine the position. which
this nation will hold in the history of
mankind.
