Temporarily GALVANIZED.

The market was temporarily galvanized
into life again by means of the famous
Hartman dividend declarations in the
fall Of 1906. prices for most Of the active
stocks once more mounting at this time
to the January level with even higher
tops made in a few instances but with
the beginning Of the new year the mar
ket developed greater weakness than ever,
and semi-psnie in March was followed
BY a real panic in October. In fact, there
fore. the security market suffered a de-
cline lasting the greater portion Of two
years. and during this time the custom
ers OF one Wall street house after another
and a great number Of large professional
operators doing business on the floor Of
the stock exchange became converted TO
the idea that more money was 70 be made
in selling stocks than in buying them;
and these men INDUCED In just as great
overtrading as did enthusiasts on the
buying side of the market IN the years
preceding.
The covering purchases last week,
necessitated by the closing out of opera
tions of this sort. gave a renewed and
powerful impetus to the upward move
ment in stock exchange values that had
been in process practically throughout
the whole II April. Two stock exchange
commission houses, one Of them very we'll
known, failed under circumstances that
impaired to the events a sensational
character. and as the direct result Of this,
there was. Of course, great deal Of buy
ing in Of stocks by other members of the
stock exchange who had business deal
ings with the failed houses

a wider consequences was. however, the
development Of considerable unwilling
ness on the part OF brokers to lend stocks
for future delivery to other brokers who
were under suspicion Of being heavily

number of operators for the fall were
asked peremptorily to return stocks that
had already been lent. This added tenn
porarily to the general buying. and help
ed materially in the violent advance that
occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday.
But toward the end of the week a
more prudent and conservative view of
the situation created by these influences
began to prevail in the financial district.
People began 10 reflect that a market
could not advance a very long time upon
a series OF "squeezes." however e<traor-
binary, of unlucky spectators who had
sold stocks that they did not own, and
that once these operators had been forced
to close their accounts. they could no
longer be relied upon as a source of puT-
chasing power. It was realized that the
enforced purchases Of this sort that had
been already made had come in very
luckily for the banking interests, who
had unquestionabIy been lending support
10 the advance in the market that had
Heretofore been carried on.
Railways to DO Financing,
A great deal OF railway financing has
TO be accomplished, If possible, and it
could better be done on a rising market
than on falling one.
Our railroad companies have finally, it
seems, managed 10 get the better OF their
operating expenses. AT any rate. most
Of the monthly reports of the leading
railway systems as they come in show a
larger proportion of net earnings than
they have in recent months, and some of
them are even beginning to show small
net increases. There IS, OF course. one
danger here that must be guarded
against It is obvious that through the
application of political pressure. and a
very general disposition Of railway man
ayers themselves to avoid trouble IL they
can possibly do so, the railway compa-
MES have not thus far endeavored to
make economies through a reduction in
pay schedules. They are saving money
by employing a smaller number of men
and cutting down expenditures for out
lays upon their property whenever they
can.

New York. May 3.-The one striking de-
last week was an illustration of the truth
that is always emphasized in Wall street
as an academic maxim, but whose prac-
teal bearing is often lost sight Of in
actual experience, and this was the very
considerable extent of the speculative
commitments that accumulate either for
the decline or the fall in a speculative
market which has for a long time been
running in either downward or an up
ward direction.
A prolonged advance or decline in Sc
eurity prices invariably results in the
creation Of an underlying or sleeping long
or short interest in the market very much
larger than appears on the surface or
than the great majority Of daily observers
Of financial tranactions are inclined 10
believe. A fair share of this interest is
Of an investment character that is not
apt to be dislodged under the application
Of ordinary pressure when a market in
due time reverses its course, but a good
deal of it is for the account of such weak
people that it can be forced into retreat
through a constant day-to-day addition
to the loss account on the transaction.
Now. 1t is not popularity realized that
the stock market up TO last November
had been falling ever since January. 1906.
High-record prices on the great previous
advance in values were touched in the
last-named month ana not long afterward
Il began to be discovered that the invest
ment market was clogged with new Sc
curties, that railroads and others bor-
rowing money we're compelled to pay ex-
orbitan, terms, and that after while
even the recourse of short-term note is
sues began 10 fail.

The Murdoch Family.

Bent Murdoch tells of the coming to
Kansas of the father.o of the Murdocks
as follows; HE cut a short hickory
stick on the south Bank of the Kaw
River near the foot of Kansas avenue.
Topeka, hung pack on the stick, put
it over his shoulder, crossed the river
on a log wagon, took his foot in his
hand, started on a beeline and walked
from Topeka to Mount Pleasant, la,
where he landed in twelve days, the
distance being over - miles. That
was fifty years ago4a March. Thom-
as Murdock-he was the Colonel of a
Virginia regiment that was mustered
for the Mexican War but didn't go
left the Allegnany Mountains with a
wife and five children in a covered
wagon and carryall early in the fall
of 1856 for the Territory of Kansas.
The father and two oldest sons made
the overland trip from Mount Pleas
ant, Ia, to Topeka in the winter OF
1867 by wagon, the wife and three
younger children remaining in that
town. When Thomas Murdock re-
turned to Mount Pleasant he loaded
his family into the cars for Burling-
ton, where they took a Mississippi
steamboat for st. Louis. Here they
changed boats, taking Missouri Riv-
er one for Leavenworth, where they
were met by team and nauled to
Topeka.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE
LIPPINCOTT STORE

The twenty-third anniversary of
Lippincott and Company is being cele-
bratcd in the big store in Market street
below Fourth. The celebration officially
began this morning but for weeks past
the management has been preparing for
the sale extraordinary that is the main
feature of the anniversary.
The history that has marked the
growth Of this up-to-dato establish
ment is interesting. II demonstrates
the truth of what has been said about
the little acorn. From a modest little
shop twenty-three years ago. the mod
ern department store has grown and
its growth has been unfalteringly pro-
grcssve. In 1855 Mr.. Lippincott pur-
chased the stock and fixtures of the
store then situated at No. 312 Market
street At that time the place was con-
sidered very good drygoods store.
TV large department store had not
gained the place it occupies today for
it was about that time that the first
establishment of the kind was inaugu-
rated as a business venture in this
country
I'm twenty three years tho little store
has become quite big child and sur
passing the anticipation OF Mr. Lip
pincott. it is still growing. The pres
ent establishment embraces five large
buildings made into one. with three
floors and "A basement, There are 200
clerks employed
The sale that marks the anniversary
celebration is one of the largest that
Wilmington people have had the op-
portunity to profit by. TO all custom
ers this morning double trading stamps
We're given. This was a feature i'm it
self The bargains in dry goods, and in
childrens wear as well as furnishings
in the mems department are unparal-
leled by even the metropolitan depart
ment stores i'm the big cities. The
sale will continue until Saturday and
every facility has been improved upon
in order TO handle the large crowds of
shoppers that are expected
Special attractions have been added
in the various departments, one in par
ticular being ia the music department
on the second floor where the songs are
rendered. with piano accompaniment.
