Houncements might be expected at any
moment. At no other time in a year. in
which the failure rumor game had been
worked as never before, were the predic-

To-day. at the close Of the last trading
day of the week, any one who would have
ventured such an assertion would have
been laughed of the street. for the ru-
mors could not have been more thor
oughly diseredited. Those who gave ex-
preston to them early in the week were
accordingly quiet to-day.
But they were busy, many of them.
They were busy covering shorts and la
menting the outcome Of a market device
which brought them not only monetary
loss, but discredit. No one was heard to
express q word Of sympathy.
The change in sentiment from the open
ing to the closing Of the week was
marked IN many other ways than by the
collapse Of the last resort OF the bear
contingent 1t was noted principally by
the fast that there was a firm and broad
market for inactive stocks and speciaities.

Quotations for American stocks were we'll

ConsOls and Rio TintOs were decidedly
weak Conceding that liquidation of a
forced character has now ceased to be a
feature. it can be taken for granted that
the powers that be are averse to anything
like a bull demonstration. as it would
have the effect Of causing stringent
money and would encourage the State

erency in their attacks on railroads and
other combinations; besides. any unfa-

Another Biggest Ship.

No event in marine navigation has
est a.; the sailing of the great Cunard
liner, the Lusitana. the new queen of
the seas. This great craft. which will
sail from England for America Sat
urday. is the largest craft afloat and
the most costly to move. Her coal
consumption will run above 1000 tens
a day On her trial trip she made &c
knots an hour. equal to almost a mile
in two minutes. 1t is conceded that
the question is as to the economy of
such a ship. She is not Il freightcr.
Will she pay for herself? Already in
anticipation Of her entrance upon
business the steamship lines have be-
gun cutting passenger rates. The rea-
soning regarding the Lusi.ania seems
to be that luxury has now reached a
point where there are people enough

Queenstown next Sunday, and then il
will be question which ship will ar.

is as far beaten as it beats the ono

one upon which New York is located
These New York newspapers talk
vaguely of the dangers of such long
voyage and of the 'desertion of the Az
lantic seaboard by the American navy
thus leaving New York at the mercy OF
a European fleet. This is only silly
season outburst. If our battleshlps
cannot go safely in time of peace
from one ocean to the other, as thc
Oregon did a decade ago in time OF
war, they are good for nothing but the
scrap heap and the fact should be
demonstrated at once. If New York
is worri 4 about foreign fleet, let 1t
consult a nerve specialist and also
state its case to the Hague conference,
No. the people will not interfere and
"demand'' that the orders be revoked.
as one New York editor frantically
urges. The people have an idea that
President Roosevelt and those in
charge of our naval affairs are better
qualified to determine American naval
policy than few New York editors;
who speak for the Wall street interests
that hate the President for reasons
which make the people love him and
trust him the more.

Let the pure. and the fair, and the grace

Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
