several Of the capitalistic class Of

Still Welded to His Idol.

Some days ago one Of the prominent
brokers. who has been generally consid-
cred as bearish on Mergenthaler. be
came rampantIy bullish and the record
of the day showed that he had bought
several hundred shares of the stock, to
secure which il had been necessary to
advance the price several points before
getting the desired quantity. OF course
the gossips got busy right away ard
advanced several reasons for the action.
the most prominent being that the brok-
er aforesaid was short of the stock
and deemed IL wise TO hastily seek
cover at as little loss as possible. Other
good and sufficient reasons were given.
all o. them with much detail and in
sistence on their correctness But IL
can be stated here that each and all
of them were wrogn and that the buy
ing was for gentleman long identified
as q steckholder with the company and
well known as the largest holder OF the
stock in this city. II is his habit when
his bank account shows a surplus of
cash TO promptly invest il IN MerSen-
thaler. and while an occasional seller
throughout the year the dividend on
January 1 rarely shows any falling off
in his holdings. A fortunate safe OF
hotel property was an excuse to salt
down some OF the surplus in a stock
which he claims has made him at all
times a sure and handsome return.
