The stock market begins to feel the San Francisco disaster more keenly than at first anticipated, says, Banker Clews. Following the first shock there was natural bracing together for resisting it's conse- quences. but as the appalling extent Of the calamity became more gener- ally known values in highly in- Hated market gradually began to yield. It is now estimated by good authorities that the total destruction of property will approximate about $300,0O0,000. Probably not more than half this amount, or s15O,0OO,- 900, will be covered by insurance: and of the losses which have to be paid by the insurance companies more than half of that sum, about s7O,000,00O or $50 1000, ,0OO, will fall upon American companies, the bal ance being sustained by foreign con- cerns. Added to the actual destruc- tion of property will be the disorgan- ization and loss of business for weeks and months to come, so that it is yet impossible to calculate the real dam age to trade and industry resulting from this catastrophe. By no pro- cess of intellectual juggling can such a wholesale destruction of property be turned into a bull argument. The loss is actual and tremendous, and must exert a depressing effect which however widely distributed will have to be endured. So far as Wall street is concerned its chief influence will be felt in the money market, which has been overtaxed by numerous in- sistent demands. High priced stocks and high rates for money are utter ly incompatible. Since there is little prospect of cheap money for some time to come it is inevitable that re- adjustment must be effected through liquidation and lower prices for se- curities. Many of our railroads which have important Improvements already under way are in urgent need of funds. A few of the shrewder corporations have already provided for themselves in advance. but there are others which are not so prepared and must come into the money mar ket upon the best terms which they can secure.

however, that the industrial and com mercial losses are appalling. There is no suffering from lack of provisions or water. Everything considered, the health of the people is excellent. His report is as follows: --
 Have practically completed inspec- tion of the ruined districts. do not believe the loss of life will be as great as was anticipated. In my judgment 1t will be impossible to determine the exact number of deaths, but conserva- tive estimates place the number at not to exceed 800 There are about 1000 sufferers in local hospitals, and proba- bly, not over 400 are seriously injured. No necessity exists at the present time for nurses or doctors.
 "As regards industrial and conner cial losses, the conditions are appalling, figures and distances convey slight conceptions or realities. Not only have the business and industrial houses and .esta blishments of 100000 people dis appeared, leaving them destitute flnan- cially and their means of livelihood temporarily gone, but the complicated system of transportation, indispensable to the daily comfort and interests of 500,000 people has been almost total- ly destroyed. Over the city's area of twenty-five square miles the entire sys- tenn of railways was damaged or de- stroyed and has not as yet been operat- ed. The scanty supply of animals and carriages remaining after the fire has been largely impressed into civil and military service, in order to prevent starvation. The entire telegraphic and telephonic systems were destroyed, making communication impossible.
 Practically every municipal buiid' ing is destroyed forcing the city offi. cials into scanty quarters, necessarily situated in localities difficult of access owing to distances and lack of trans portation. Three hundred thousand people were rendered homeless and destitute. Remedial methods, adopted and prosecuted with great efficiency have relieved this unprecedented dis aster.

A LESSON IN TACT.
BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.

Louise, who is a girl neighbor, came
into my IiVing-rOom the other day
looking very forlorn. She flung herself
into a chair, the corners of her mouth
dropped and ] saw that tears were not
very far from her honest brown eyes.
Louise has those big brown eyes that
show soul so true and loyal that it
has in it not the faintest possibility
for deceit. L have seen dogs with eyes
that have exactly that expression.
What is the matter?" said
"Have you found out that your doll
is stuffed with sawdust, or has your
dearest friend picked UP her play
things and gone home? You appear TO
have met with some provoking disap-
Pointment- Did you not get on the
promotion list after all your work ?
Come. dear. pour out your trouble.
Tell me what has happened. Perhaps
can help you. I've been in hard
places myself"
Louise managed to smile a little as
she answered: 1.-The trouble isn't one
that you can cure. 1t is Just that T

insulting remark 1 could have made:
Tor Mena is very dull in mathematics,
and, as everybody knows, her people
at home are not particularly well-edu-
Gated. 1 called attention in a breath
to her own stupidity and to the fact
that she couldn't have made her prep

been there to help her. She left me
abruptly, and she hasn't spoken to me
since Anyway, 1 was sincere"
Yes, Louise" I assured her, you
we're sincere, but you were not tactfuI.
L fear that you did hurt your friends
feelings quite needlessly. Go on, dear.
Let me hear the rest
AT recess said Louise Marjorie
Dean asked me if liked the fashion
of her new frock. Without stopping
to think, told her frankly that the
fashion was pretty enough for some
people. 1t would suit a tall, slender

tIced how frequently she is deficient.
In no circumstances does she venture
to inform an acquaintance that her hat
or her dress is unbecoming, when the
dress and hat have been bought and
paid for. And she understands how to
undertake n commission without actu-
ally saying that it will put her to
some inconvenience. This morning you
had only to say to Mena, when she told
you about the geometry: Dear Mena,
how glad l am and you might have

fashion. AS for. Miss Tilson you had

Louise proceeded, Il biundered again.
Miss Tilson, my teacher, asked me
whether 1 would have to go out of my
way to post a letter for her when L
is three blocks from our house in an
opposite direction from the school, so
L could not oblige my teacher without
taking some extra steps. 1 hesitated
a moment before l answered: L shall

Never mind said Miss Tilson, here
comes Rose Eliot, / think she can

You should have seen Rose. She
just beamed. She seized upon that
letter and bore it off in triumph, and
Miss Tilson looked after her as much
as to say: There goes a young girl
who takes delight in doing favors for
people -
Louise sighed and was silent.
