BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August pa. Spectator
who is regarded as q shrewd observer OF
stock market conditions and who is credited
with having made a great deal of money on
the long side in years past. but who has
been extremely conservative for many
months. says that he now believes that I'M
DERIVING conditions are better in not few
respects than they appear and that the ten
dency will be toward decided Improvement
For some little time he has been of the
opinion that money will not be- as tight this
fall as has been predicted, and he now is In
clined to believe that shortly after the first
Of the year 1t will be decidedly easy. BY
February ! he would not be surprised to see
very pronounced revival of interest in
the bond market and little later decidedly
healthy conditionsAin the speculative mar
ket. He thinks that persons who are In q
position to buy securities and hold them for
six or eight months will make substantial
profits. When confidence returns, specula-
ton. in his Judgment, will break out afFesh
and the market will have a recovery as
pronounced as the decline has been.
While not a few careful observers con-
cur in the foregoing opinion. they think
It no attempt toward activity should be
made In the near future and they believe
that the large financial interests will see to
IL that the market Is kept within proper
bounds. Consequently, unless fresh unfa-
vorable features develop, they look for
trading to be on a comparatively small
scale for some time to come. It Is pretty
generally agreed that the commercial fail
ures recently announced are only the fore
runners of what must be expected In this
direction between now and the first of the
year. Most students OF the situation be-
lieve, however, that announcements of tnis
character, unless the amounts involved are
extremely large. will not have a notably
adverse effect upon securities. They think
that all ordinary commercial misfortunes
have already been discounted, SO far as
Wall street is concerned.
President Finley Of the Southern Railway
Company is in town again, and it is ex-
pected that final action on the question of
declaring dividend on the preferred stock
Will be taken In the near future. Those IA
miliar with the company's affairs do not
seem to look for the payment of the full
rate. but they do not expect that the divi-
dend will be passed altogether. It is init
mated that the return of Mr.. Morgan will
hasten the final decision as to the dividend
policy at this time of both the Southern
Railway Company and of the Erie Railroad
Company.

TELEPHONES IN THE WOODS.

\ traveller in the forests of northern

telephone wires strung from trunk TO

used to help The men who drive the logs
along the west branch of the penobsc0t
Is perhaps the greatst feature of the syS-
tenn The dams have been built not only
10 hold water against n time of drought

without tanning.
The eye of every man in the crew is ON
q CLINT of logs coming down stream.
They watch il as ii nears a boulder in
mldstream and if the logs scatter and
pass down the river well and good. If
they do not, but stop and pile up into
big jam, the river driver has his work
cut out for him.
Then il is that the man at the tel,'-
phone gets busy. Three long whirls of
the crank of his little box calls the dam.
aud he tells the man who answers to
close the gate and stop the logs from
coming down until the lam is broken out.
These orders given, ne sets TO work To
break the jam.

with accuracy Will start the logs and
clear the channel. ana if one stick is not

Before the telephone came into use

stationed at frequent intervals along
the bank and the message was shouted
from man to man.
The telephone lines are being extended
