STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Evidence of the Operation of Protec-
 tive Measures.

New York, Dec. 9-The stock
 market to-day gave plain evidence of
 the operation of protective measures for the support of prices against de fpression. The vigor with which the
 market rallied from the general de- Eclines at the opening and the deter
 animation with which prices were bid up of the half dozen stocks which are
 ;of most influence In shaping specula- btive sentiment on the whole list gave
 Testimony to the benevolent control lubeing exercised by capitalists of the alargest resources The fact of this 8support is now generally recognized sabout the stock exchange, while opin
 Mons vary widely as to the purpose Asouglat to be secured or the motives Iiguiding the movement. The effective |1ness of the support was the more not Fable by reason of the rather acute 4weakness shown by few special |sstooks. The weakness of the copper lyroup, including American Smelling, Twas pronounced and was directly at to unfavorable trade devel- tbpments. The drastic reduction in shutput of copper disclosed in the en- Hire shut down of some of the Anal- famated Copper company properties ointed accurately to the source of the

that the shrinkage in general business activity, always reflected in telegraph revenues, as we'll as the losses incident to the strike of telegraph operators would prompt the directors to pass the coming dividend or to materially re- duce it. This kind of expectation was clear in the case of other industrial stocks, notably Distillers' Securities. The call loan market was even firmer than on Friday due to increased stock market borrowing, and this was an admonitory influence on specula- tive extension. Another influence on the call loan market, however, was the stirring of life in the time loan market, and in that for mercantile paper. The late selling of United States Steel had sympathetic effect on the market and made the closing tone easy.

 Following so closely the October statement of the Atchison, which was very unfavorable, the figures of the Erie earnings for October made public over Sunday attracted great deal of attention Not only was there a gross decrease of $76, ,1O2, but operating expenses and taxes showed the enorm- ous increase of $S27, ,764, resulting in a net decrease of $903,S56.
 Whether the somewhat general down. ward tendency of prices, yesterday, was merely such reaction from the violent recovery of last week as is all ways apt to interrupt such a movement may be matter of discussion; prob ably both influences had a hand. This does not mean that the recovery in stocks is necessarily ended It may be over, or 1t may not; there are probably plenty of s'shortsp to cover yet; but the mere fact that trade reaction is still ahead of us would not of itself settle the question.

The Bugle Office cat caught two mice

II We do say it ourself
II you don't get your copy Of the Bugle
this week you will know that we didn't
The Washington herald., 1907-10-06

The Buglc never had as many sub
scribers as II has at the present writ
| ing. whereas on the other hand we
never had as little ready cash in our
hands as we have there at the present
writing.
A person would nacherly think that
when a newspaper has more subscrib-
ers than It ever had before that il
would therefore be more prosperouser,
but this IS not true espeshially in our
case. The more subscribers we manage
to get the more adversely seems to
stare us in the face. The more sub
scribers we have the nearer TO us ap-
pears the speckter Of the sheriff with
his hammer and tacks. IF all of our
subscribers would keep their subscrip-
shions paid up in full TO date things
would be different, out our subscribers
do not do this and those who think they
! do are in error.
Suppose, for instants that we had 800
subscribers 1--WE have nearly that many
now, and suppose that $50 of said sub
scribers had never paid us a cent and
probably never will Now suppose we
manage TO boost Our subscripshion to
800 and that out of this number only
100 kept their subscripshions paid I'D.
Now wouldn't we be worse off with 800
subscribers than we was with 800?
Course we would. That's Just the way
| It works with the Boogle. The more
subscribers we get the more dead beats
we get and the more dead beats we get
the nearer we approach to the verge Of
starvashion and bankruptcy. In other
words if We get many more subscribers
on the present basis we will be ruined
and the Bugle will haft to discontinue
publicashion.
We therefore make the announce
ment that we do not desire any sub
scribers in the future except those who
are willing to pay for the Buglc in ad-
vance and keep it paid in advance as
long as they remain subscribers. We
have not determined to take this arbi-
trary step without much deep thought.
We have rassled with this problem of
existence to such an extent that we
couldn't sleep at nights and have came
TO the conclusion that hereafter we are
going TO do business more on cash
basis or else NOT do it at all. Dog-gone
the credit system, anyhow
The credit system has a awful lot of
drawbacks espeshially when we are the
creditor. When somebody else is the
creditor it don't make so much differ
ence, but when subscribers owes us for
Bugle subscripshions we are always
meeting with surprises and disapooint-
ments. Take Lige Henning, for in
stance. Lige is one of our oldest sub
scribers Lige begin to take the Bugle
more than IA years ago. He hasn't
missed copy since and hasn't paid a
cent for it either. Well, last week Lige

wrapped his finger in a handkerchief
temporary after which he went home
and put what he thought was some
salve onto the cut. but he said it smart
ed him like sixty and he hollered until
his wife got up and come downstairs
and she discovered that what Brad had
put on his cut finger was not salve, but
shoe polish. Brad says he don't notice
