All this talk about the Morgans having
recently acquired big block Of Union Pa
cidc arises from the fact that during the
paDicky days in March the Morgans and
some OF their friends took 100, 900 shares of
Union Pacific off the hands of a pool that
couldn't hold on any longer. The stock
was bought at a bargain-considerably be-
low the lowest price that it sold in the
panic. The Morgans still hold this block
of Union Pacific and intend to sit tight on
ii UntIi it can be marketed at a profit of
$40 $50 a share. When the ides of March
came the Morgans had nothing but money
They wee in a position to take advantage
of the bargains made by the forced selling
Of individuals and pools who had reached
the end o. their rope. They bought this
big block OF Union Pacific and they SO
took en- big block of Shelters at bargain
price. They holding on to the Shelters
along with Union Pacific and will not sell
the stock until they can do so at ha Il
some profit The Morgans saw which way
the wind was blowing in midwinter and be-
gan to convert securities into cash at a
time when the Standard Oil plungers were
afraid to sci stocks. When the storm
broke the MOrgans woe in the stronges-
position of any banking house In The street.
The MorganS, of course, are tied up with
Il good many securities that show loss
Down iii their vaults they have big block
of E:es that cost about twice as much as
they car be marketed for now and they
also have sundry blocks of bonds that they
assisted In underwriting and which cannot
be marketed now at profit The Morgans
will simply sit tight on these securities
bring them out of the vaults when times
are better.

You know the answer given by the ships
captain to the nervous old lady who dread
ed the continuance of three days storm.
and was anxious to know If the weather
was ever going to clear" says a cheerful
optimist. " 1T always has, mum; 1t always
has, cheerfully responded the skipper The
fact Is that for one hundred and thrty-odd
years We have been going through periods
of alarm just like the present one, and al
ways emerging unhurt, sound and healthy
We have been told ten thousand times that
the country was done for; that it and its
people had seen their best days. But just
as often we have noted that governments
did not decline millionth part of mill
under that sort of predction-that public
confidence in the stability of our American
government and American institutions Is
not to be shaken by talk-even by talk In
higI quarters. As Emerson years ago as
sured his countrymen, the enormous ele-
ments of strength that are here in play
make our politics unimportant.' -"
