Adjourn the Stock Board
to Catch Up. With Work
Mining Brokers to
Have a Brief
Respite

Brokers in the Mining Stock Board,
confronted yesterday with a volume of
uncompleted business that amounts to
more than S10,ooo,0o0, cut short the
hours of board attendance and decided
TO go at the work of squaring up with
no more delay. They adjourned and at
once went to their Offices, long before
the regular time for stopping sales, and
applied themselves to a problem with
out a parallel.
A fierce wind was sweeping over
Goldf1eld and the snow was in the
streets to a depth of some inches. Re-
quests were coming In over the wires
to representatives in this city for au-
thority to buy barns and other mex
pensive structures at comparatively
fancy prices that the timbers and
boards might be used for fuel in the
absence of available coal to keep the
stoves and CRATES going. The Gold
field Exchange was shut up as tight
as drum in accordance with a vote
Of some days ago. under which no
business was to be transacted there
in during the present week. The
conditions were most favorable to
closing yesterday in San Francisco
and the San Francisco brokers saw the
opportunity and took it. Orders will
be slack from Goldfeld while the Cold
field brokers are taking time to fix up
their accounts. So the proposition to
adjourn found no opposition.
The fact underlying the action of
yesterday is that the mining stock
brokers have not been. able to get de-
lfveries OF stocks that they have
bought. Some of the mining COM
panies have their Offices in the East.
Others are in Nevada. In the case of
the Eastern Offices several days are
necessary to have orders filed In a
widely fiuctuating market the filling
of orders for stocks that rise above
the prices that they were sold for
would involve the brokers in financial
trouble. They would be compelled 80
take money from their own pockets to
make good.

MUST CHANGE SYSTEM


Possibly this consideration may have
been influential in keeping prices
nearly stationary for some days past.
While there is no great rise and no
great fall, the brokers could know
better where they were in relation to
the final delivery of stocks to their
clients than If the market was char
acterized by long leaps and corre-
spending depressions.
At any rate. 1t has become evident
TO the brokers that they need a few
days in which to make their accounts
up; equally clear it is also that they
realize that some change in the pres
emit system is necessary.
A. b. Ruggles, president of the Min
ing Stock Board, recognizes the situa-
ton fully. He said after the adjourn
ment yesterday that he was working

The season of freedom is upon the

But we are, yet, far behind the English
in the scope and measure of our outings.
and the whole nation would profit by a.
closer adherence to their liberal use of
the vacation idea. The pressure is too
great in America, and its effect will be-
come notoriously APPARENT in half score
of years to come, if there is not a radi.
cal change for the better. The chase of
the Almighty Dollar is frightfully fierce
in this country and is pursued to the
utter reputation of every vital principle

and mental. 1t will end in immeasur-
able bitterness for all concerned some
day.

PROFOUND CAUTION NEEDED.

President Roosevelt and the Congress
sional republican majority have built up
a wonderful and lasting record for the
party, and the prestige of the hour must
be maintained in the days to come.
There must be no blundering; no tonces-
sions to paltry men, nor tampering with
equivocal expedients. Men, and the best
of men, are going to be in demand, for
the filling Of the great Offices of the
land; and the profoundest caution is
necessary in the least and last political
move of the party, from now On, until an
able and popular republican president
shall be seated at Washingtonh The peo-
pie are wonderfully pleased, and ready
to show their grateful regard for the
good things that have come to them, but
they must have the assurance that there
is to be no subsequent and per7lous fail

been inaugurated.. Hew to the line of
