A Poet Strategist

GREAT poets are not usually great war
" riors; but Milton, when, in Paradise
Lost" he made Satan bring his artillery to
bear upon Michael under cover of dense
squadrons of angels, was displaying military
strategem which merited the approval even
of Napoleon.
When in exile on Elba the Emperor con-
fessed that the plan of the battle of Austen
litz was suggested to him by reading the
passage in Milton.

WHERE DID STOCKS cor

During the last few months enormou
quantities of stocks have been thrown
on the market by spectators. pools and
also weakly margined accounts. Europe
has also unloaded American stock
worth millions. Who has picked up all
these stocks?
These stocks have probably been
bought up by moneyed people for differ
ent reasons. Many who carried certain
stocks acquired at high prices bought
more at low prices to average their hold
ings. Many who in 1906 had given the
stock market a wide berth have been in
duced to buy by the prevailing low
prices which they considered Low enough
to justify an investment. Many big
banks have also taken large blocks out
OF the market at bottom prices. for the
last statements of numerous banks show
hat they ave considerably increased
their holdings of securities. There can
be no doubs that stocks have rome from
weak hands to strong ones at the prices
