More Bucket Shop Revelations.

Revelations in regard to the inside do
ings of some of the big bucket shop sys-
TENS have yielded a fresh crop of Inter-
esting facts in relation thereto. Among
other things It has produced a revised
estimate of the volume of business trans
acted in these institutions throughout
the country This estimate is to the eff
feet that the aggregate buying and sell
ing of stocks i'm bucket shops is very much
larger than on the New York stock ex-
change. where sales run from 100000 to
100000 shares a day In lively seasons.
Again the cry goes up for their eXter-
mination and decision just handed
down by the supreme court of the United
States seems to arm the legitimate eX-
changes with the power to at least min
imlze the evil This decision gives to the
Chicago board of trade and, by infer
ence, every other exchange the right or
control over its quotations, this finding
being a reversal of former decisions on
that point Heretofore the courts have
ruled that quotations of commodities or
securities traded in on the exchange were
tinged with public interest and that the
right of restriction In their distribution
did not exist The bucket shops, how
ever, will not abandon the field until
actually driven from 1t, For instance,
n case is now on its way to the supreme
court involving the validity of pur-
chase and sale under the conditions COM

Can't Stop the Octopus.

There is no stopping the juggernaut
march of the octopus. One of the best
corners In the financial district devoted
to trade in which the drug store is To-
Gated is one of the old-timers and is
recognized as choice situation. 1t has
been coveted by a tobacco corporation
which not long ago secured lease on the
whole building by paying an exorbitant
rental for it. The drug store paid Sl6,-
900 rental a year for space about 20 feet
by 30 feet The tobacco company served
notice ON the druggist to vacate, but
compromise was finally reached under the
terms of which he pays as much for the
rear half of the space as he had done for
the entire room, leaving the Broadway
front for the tobacco people This Is
probably the largest rental per square
foot of space occupied paid by any store
keeper in the country.

monty prevailing in bucket shops, the
issue being raised that ore broker can le-
gally bring together buyer and seller,
the transaction resulting in what is usu-
ally termed an "offset trade There is
reasonableness in this contention and
courts are at variance on the issue. l
have heard commission merchants and
bankers of unquestioned integrity say that
they have a perfect legal and moral right
to match" orders of two customers in
their own offices without going through
the formality of trade upon the ex-
change. That practice, however, is
frowned upon and generally held to be
commercially immoral. If the supreme
court at Washington should uphold the
legality of the pra etiee, bucket shops will
have a standing which will make their
position almost impregnable, and as long
as they can secure quotations by any de-
vice they will be free to continue bust
ness.

Kills Inside Germs

Liquozone Is not made by compound

virtues are derived solely from gas

been the constant subject OF scienunc

ORIGIN OF "HAWkEYE."

Rural Reporter.

Cedar Ridge. Ia.-Every school chiid

influence during the summer and early

believes TO be a great popular demand

Whether or not the owners of railroad
properties will yield to this insistence re-
mains to be seen. There appears to he a
division of inside sentiment on this point
Quite a number of gentlemen prominent
in railroad affairs are on friendly personal

Is representative railroad man in the

TWO Bio Anniversaries.

This week has had two anniversaries
important in the annals of Wall street
May 9 was the fourth anniversary of the
Northern Pacific corner" which was
the beginning of a decline Ia toe stock
market which did not end for two years
and a half, although in the December
following occurred a sharp recovery from
the spring slump. May 10 was the thirty
sixth anniversary of the driving of the
golden spike of the Northern Pacific, an
incident which was also the beginning
of a panic, and the end of which was not
reached for several years thereafter and
which carried to wreck many of the lead
ing financiers of the day including Jay
Cooke and Henry Naillard.

Money Balance AGAINST Us.

The international money balance is now
believed 10 be heavily against us Foreign
exchange specialists make the claim that
many of the stocks and bonds which have
been sent abroad during the last six
months were not sold there. but were
consigned and borrowed against in the
European centers. If this be true the
contingency must be taken into account
of return flood of collateral in the event
of political or other troubles in that part
of the world. The international trade
balance Is apparently in our favor. but
experience has taught that this exhibit
is not always Trustworthy and that any
thing favorable there Is liable any time
to be more than offset by the operations
of banking interests

Set Back in Bond Market.

There has been a distinct setback in
the bond market, and several unoerwrit-
ing syndicates find they have big nnsold
allotments on their hands to which they
gaily subscribed a few weeks or months

lie for bonds seems to have become ex-

Dickerlne for Merger Resumed.

A gentleman who has been closely iden-

iron and coal properties, is authority for
the statement that dickering has been

through. He said there was no more
