Everybody in politics is the Iaboring

find thousands of caveats earlier than

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, March THE stock mar
ket was not quite so feverish TINS
morning although the range OF prices
were again wide and fluctuations eF-
ratio. In the early trading hours shorts
were inclined to buy stocks for turn.
Union Pacific scored an advance OF
two points over the closing price last
night. st. Paul sold from 1922 to
144&. Copper and Anaconda both
started off stronger, the former sell
ing up to LOT from an opening around
los; Anaconda from 6S15 to 7015.
1t was observable, however, that on
the advance large blocks of stock were
feed to the anxious shorts. The vol
ume of the transactions in Union Pa
cifc were remarkable 1t is estimated
that the trade in this issue was the
largest since the memorable coup when
the Hartman following raised the div
idend rate to 10 per cent and bought
all the stock that was offered. Today,
after reaching 1851, this stock was Of
fered in generous amounts to the
shorts, in fact more than they could
absorb. AS a result, prices gradually
eased off the final close being almost
the low price of the day, showing net
loss in Union Pacific Of three points
from the early high levels.
The skyrocket features which were
so sensational in Reading yesterday
afternoon were absent in that issue to-
day. On the contrary this stock did
not display near the activity OF some
of the others. 1t is presumed the
Frick crowd accomplished their pur-
pose yesterday when they forced all
the shorts to cover at tremendous
losses The newspaper stories this
morning to the effect that the Harri-
man crowd were seeking control of the
property are considered almost absurd
in we'll informed circles.
The market on the whole closed
feverish with very weak undertone
apparent throughout the list.

stronger throughout the session al
though the range of values was con-
fined to five-eighths of a cent. Ad-
ditional bad crop news from three diff
ferent states, Indiana, Michigan and
Ohio was the bull factor which induced
considerable buying by shorts and IN
fuential local operators. Although
these crop reports are not given very
much consideration at the present time,
still they have the desired effect of
stimulating activity in speculation

MEET SATAN
COMING IN
eff the Devil Won't Come to
the Church, Church Must
Go To the Devil"

Crown Point, Ind, March THE
Presbyterian evangelists who are en-
gagged in conducting a series OF re-
vival meetings here, are adopting
some unique methods in their efforts
to reach those who have no church
affiliations. When they cannot induce
the sinner to come to church they pro-
pose to meet the devil a little more
than half way and bring the church
service to the sinner.
Last night at the close of the regular
services at the church in South Court
street the congregation was invited to
accompany the evangelists to the pub
lie square where a number Of hymns
were sung, after which the fruit and
confectionery store of z. Dovichi was
invaded and short services held. Do
vichf's fruit store has become popu-
lar as a hang out for number of
boys and young men, and few or them
were there last night.
Tonight it is announced that services
will be held In scott Rabbits saloon
an the east side Of the square, and
next sunday afternoon a special SER
Vice VIII be held in the circuit court
room and the sounds OF sacred hymns
win resound through the corridors in

HEARD ON THE BOURsE

New YORK, March IA well known
local house that generally acts for
II. c. Frick and his interests, has
practically confirmed the report cir
culated today that Mr.. Frick had sold
his holding Of Reading stock to e. H
Hartman.
It is also reported that Mr.. Harri-
man of Atchison has absorbed the
Frick holdings of Reading from 124
to 10. The only other large indie
pendent interest is said to be that of
the First National bank parties.
Brokers watching transactions in
Reading call attention TO the fact that
100000 shares of that stock have been
traded in in the last six days between
113 and 115.
Big men are ready enough to COB
BILE UP the SPECTATOR, but it would
seem against their own interests to
scare away investors, yet this is what
they have been doing. It seems idle
to predict when the market will turn.
The men who run the game could adj
vance prices ten points with very little
effort. and such rally may come at
any time.
Arbitrage houses have been buying
Union Pacific, Atchison and other
stocks. Floor traders all trading for
rally.
There is limited amount of buying
going on by bargain hunters, still the
liquidation is much greater.
E. II. Hartman, who is still in Wash
ington for recreation, declined this af-
ternoon to either confirm or deny the
report from Philadelphia that he had
acquired control of the Reading COM
pany. You may simply say that 1 de-
cline to discuss the matter" he replied
to an inquiry, Mr.. Hartman will re-
turn to New York tomorrow.
This looks to me like an opportunity
! for people to buy stocks who can take
I care of them. It's no market for peo-
pie with small margins.
| For some unknown reason, rumoI
had it that Hartman and Morgan were
together trying to patch up their diff
ferences. The bad feeling between
certain big interests has done much
to bring about the present state Of
things, which is beginning to alarm
the investors.

The oxford University press will
soon publish Selections from DR.. John
sons Rambler" edited with preface
and notes by w. Hale White. The OBJ
sect of the publication is not so much
to give specimens of felicitous express
sions as to show what Johnson thought.
According TO the editor there is much
in Johnson which is not revealed in his
conversation. and he is but partially
understood by those who know him
through Boswell alone the Life hav-
ing obscured the merits Of Johnson's
own works.
