SHUN MARKET, SAY
WALL STREET men
Stock Market in Dangerous Con-
dition for Small Spectators,
It Is Declared.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New York, Nov. 24.-In the opinion
of many Of the oldest and most con-
sentative men in the Wall street dis
has reached the pass where the public
would do we'll to keep out Of the mar
ket.
Some fancy stocks, which have been
built up by strong pools, went to pieces
yesterday and showed a marked de-
cline. Liquidation has set in on GER
tain line of securities. Enormous bust
ness is being transacted on the ex-
change, altho on the surface there is
nothing sensational.
There has been a marked change in
the atmosphere of the street within the
last twenty four hours, and even men
who were predicting a heavy advance
now take the ground that the market
is in dangerous condition for the
small speculator. and that none but
people with abundant capital and, abil-
go near the Stock exchange. It is suf-
ficiently evident now, in the opinion of
conservative financial people, that, altho
a bull movement is wholly probable
during the early months Of next year,
it must necessarily be preceded by a
sharp decline pretty much all along
the list.
Since the unusual high price for
money of last week there has been no
Indication of an immediate repetition of
that dangerous condition of affairs. On
the other hand, the bank statement at
the end Of this week is, not likely. to
be much more encouraging than dur,
ing the earlier part of this month, when
the tightness Of money precipitated
such Extraordinary rates as to drive
many minor brokers almost to condi,
ton of panic. The interest rates are
not now high. but the failure Of the
money market to improve and con.
slant demands being made upon the
banks in face Of the deficit in the re-
serves, have been reflected in the mar
feeiRg Of une a sew Which is is oGil Relq
to affect prices to a considerable degree

BURTON DENIAL IS
DOUBLY NEGATIVE
He Didn't Do It and Besides, He
Was Outside Missouri When

Senator Burton of Kansas took the
stand in his own behalf at 1918 am.
The senator's testimony in the begin
ming followed closely that given in the
former trial, except that in describing
Ian in regard to which the latter has al
ready testified, Senator Burton laid spe-
cial stress upon the fact that before
the conversation relating to his en-
ployment by the Rialto company was
started, the train on which they were en-
route from St. Louis to Chicago had
crossed the Mississippi and was in Hi
nois, outside the jurisdiction Of the
court before which the case is being
tried.
Senator Burton testified that during
his conversation with Harlan, who was
the representative of the Rialto COM
pany he (Burton) used the following
words in connection with his proposed
employment:
"Now, Mr.. Harlan, let me understand
| you. am senator. This company
| Is using the malls extensively. Is 1t
| contemplated IN any way that 1 am
expected to use any influence in the
department. directly or indirectlys'
| His answer was very emphatic. He
said: mo, senator, we do not want any
influence in the Department. -
No Small Retainer.
In referring to the compensation Of.
fered by the Rialto company in con-
nection with his employment as coun'
| sci to appear in the defense of It's pres.
ident, Major Dennis, Senator Burton
said:
