BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 16.-Operators
who have been most active in the stock
market for some weeks predict still lower
prices, particularly for the Copper and
Steel stocks. 1t is claimed that it will be
necessary to reduce the price Of copper
metal to IL cents before general and SUBJ
stantial buying will appear. 1t Is also
claimed that II the metal is carried down
to that figure. Amalgamated Copper will
go much lower. In some circles 1t Is main
tanned that the short interest in most OF
the active issues Is extremely large. Some
conservative observers do not believe that
the short interest Is anything like as large
as would appear and as is generally be-
lieved.
They think that the large interests have
been selling their stocks and buying them
back from time to time. thus reducing their
losses on at least a part of their holdings.
ihey think that much of the selling that
mas been set down for the regular short ac-
count has been of this character. 1t Is adj
mitted. Of course. that the short interest
is substantial in many of the active issues
but it is difficult to believe that at recent
prices any but the most daring SPECTATORS
have operated extensively on the short side
-
ally being watched very closely, as many
spectators think that the iron and steel
trade will suffer in proportion to the slump
that has taken place in the copper mining
industry.
While 1t is admitted that the small iron
and steel companies would suffer consider
ably IN the event of a big falling off in the
demand for iron and steel products, it is
pointed out that the position of the United
States Steel Corporation is far stronger
than it was when the last depression came
to the iron and steel trade.
In fact, those who are in close touch with
the management say that the position Of
the United States Steel Corporation and its
subsidiary companies is very much stronger
in every respect than anyone outside of the
management has any knowledge of. They
say also that the corporation is in posi-
ton to curtail its output materially, If nee
essary, without seriously disturbing the in
ternal affairs of the subsidiary companies.

Must Not Look for Penal Reform.
But We are bound to warn the people not
to depend upon penal machinery TO make
men good. However splendid the work Of
reformatory agencies. however faithful the
probation and truant officers and the great
army OF teachers in the church and school,
there is still large class of children and
youths trun upon the streets from the
Sums and from respectable homes all un-
conscious of their neglect. The homeless
child develops the cat. monkey and tiger

De developed In his attenuated anatomy.
Inc large class OF adolescents always
drifting into the haunts of vice needs con-
slant attention. The same Is true of large
army OF unattached foreigners OF all nation
alities. a friendly hand is needed TO keep
them back from rash and dangerous courses
which lead to prison or to potters field.
Every one personally knows men, women
and children who have left the safe path.
There is no greater work of patriotism open
To the average mortal than to teach one
such person to be true to God. to country
and 10 self. 1t Is a call to patriotic service
IN which all may have a part, always in
spired with the great hope of saving some
one.

GENERAL CONDITION
AS AN INFLUENCE ON THE LOCAL
MARKET.

The policy Of inaction or of doing as little
as possible seems to be the controlling rae
tor at the daily meetings Of the stock ex-
change, and the SESSION today was no ex-
ception to the rule. The idea among some
Of those interested in the local market is
that when General Condition gets through
with his campaign in the outside stock
market. then 1t may be expected the atten-
ton Of the investing public will be turned
more largely toward local securities
At the present time. as there Is but a
slight buying demand. those who have
stocks for sale are not offering them. and so
as ru.e the daily meetings Of the stock
exchange are not productive Of much bust
ness.

STILL AFTER ROGERS.
Trying to Determine Whether He
Is Ill.

BOSTON, September 16.-There was con-
siderable conflicting testimony today in the
Massachusetts supreme court as to the
physical condition of Henry H. Rogers Of
the Standard Oil Company, when counsel
for c. NJ Raymond of Somerville, who Is
suing Rogers for $5O, 00O. 600 for certain Pc
troleum royalties, sought to prove that Mr..
Rogers was able to appear in court in spite
Of the objections Of his counsel.
The hearing today was on motion by
Mr. Raymond's counsel to have the case,
which was postponed last week to the April
term Of the court. replaced on the present
trial list. Mr.. Rogers counsel last week
told the court that they had not been able
to prepare the case, owing to the illness Of
their client, and New Bedford physician
testified at that time that Mr.. Rogers was
too i'll to attend the trial. Judge Hammond
then postponed the case, but today he
agreed to hear testimony regarding Mr..
Rogers condition.
Deputy Sheriff Walling OF New Bedford
testified that he saw Mr.. Rogers in the
First National Bank at New Bedford last
week talking with President Walter F.
Winsor and Rufus A. Soule, and that later
Mr.. Rogers walked down the street, ap.
parently in good health.
President Wnsor admitted that he talked
with Mr.. Rogers last week. but said the
latter spoke with difficulty, and that his
physical condition apparently was not as
good as it had been earlier in the summer.
He knew of no business which Mr.. Rogers
had transacted during the past two
months.
Mr. Soule denied that he saw Mr.. Rogers
at the bank. but said he did see him for
few minutes at the old home Week cele-
bration August p, and that he appeared
to have aged rapidly.
About an hour was spent in the intro
duction of a record of telephone calls
from the house of Mr.. Rogers at Fair
Haven to and from New York. and sew
eral were in the name of Mr.. Rogers
Many of the calls were to Miss Harri
