General Business Readjustment.

General business is now going
through similar process of read
lustment to that which has occurred
on the stock exchange. There is
ths difference, however. In the stock
market the readjustment is practi-
aily finished and stocks have recov-
cred to normal basis. In general
business the reimbursement is not yet

Not Dealing in Options.

The presidents attack on options
in his last message to congress GER
tainly cannot apply to any business
transacted on the New York stock
exchange, as options are not dealt in
there Options of from three to 60
days were dealt in great many
years ago, hut were abandoned long
since. Every purchase and sale now
made on the floor OF the New York
stock exchange provides fer deliy-

following day, and payment made
therefor upon delivery of the securi-

Gambling Is Different.

Concerning speculation there is
also another foolish misconception.
Speculation is frequently confound-
ed with gambling, although the two
are radically different Speculation
is always based upon knowledge and
facts, whereas gambling deals solely
with chance. 1t is a fallacy to sup
pose that any but a small percentage
of transactions on the New York
stock exchange come under the head
Of gambling. What difference is
there between buying stocks and
bonds on part payment, or margin
as it is often called, and buying land
or houses or other property with
only one-fifth in cash and carrying
the balance on mortgage? Such
transactions are speculative, are
strictly moral and are entire mat
ter of business judgment. All opera
| tions entering into the future are
necessarily speculative. So far as
the New York stock exchange is con
cerned, it's rules are drawn for thu
strict purpose of protecting legiti
mate trading, and an actual transfei
of property is required for ever!
transaction. OF course. abuses exis
in all trades and will continue t.
exist, rendering it the more neces
sary to use a little intelligent dis
elimination before condescending t.
loose denunciation, which may cas-
tly do much harm and no good.
