 New York can assist by making Mir Roosevelt Platts successor, That would end the outlook nonsense and prevent the further exploitation of Mir. Roosevelt for advertising and circu- lation purposes, The country has seen General Grant selling his fame 10 Fer dlnand Ward Tt has seen Cleveland selling his reputation to Ryan. IL should not remain passive while Mr. Roosevelt sels hls popularity to q New York weekly periodical Not that we blame the outlook we should be very willing to hire Mir Roosevelt our. selves
 But if tne prestige and name of a former president are worth large sums ot money to a firm, a corporation or n newspaper they are worth far more 10 the people of the United States On this issue alone the World Is reedy 10 rest its claim that Mir Roosevelt shoul,l succeed platt in the United States sen ate.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
No Obstacle to Price Ad,anccmcnt-
 Dormant Stocks Revived.

New York, Nov. 13.-No apparent oh- stacle presented itself to the advance in prices to-day. Except as bids were raised there seemed to bo no stock offered for sale. Such offerings as were encountered were absorbed with ready confidence. Stocks which have lain dormant were revived by putting in bids at gradually advancing quotations without bringing out any stocks the result being some remarkable advances in the sale prices over preceding trans actions. sometimes dating back months into the period of depression All this served to feed the speculative ,n- thusiasm which was prevalent in q high degree. It was manifestlv easy to advance prices and the securing oi fresh holdings itself conduced to this end No special news features were dWclt upon to explain the demand
 There was no Ostentaton about tho selling, while the buying was done with enthusiasm and with palpabe incite, ment to the advance in prices The market. therefore took on all the ap- pearance Of an excited bull movement
 The general proposition advanced by the enthusiasts was that quick restoration of prosperity was in sight with prospects of larger returns 10 capital than ever before. United States Steel was made an object lesson for all followers of the prevalent speculative spirit That stock forged upwards to successive new record prices, so that each stage of It's advance offered an additional profit to any purchase that had ever been made of the stock since the formation of the company It's top figure of 5S% represented rise of two points over the closing price last night which. in turn, showed q gain of i% over the closing of the preceding night. The expansion in valuation thus repre- santed on the five million and upwards of common stock shares of the corpora
 ton represented SD potent force of absorption in the appetite of capital for speculation and investment as to

The focus of the buying was again Steel common. It's opening price. de- spite the overnight advance, was the lowest of the morning; by carly after noon it was at 5S 3-4, rise of 2 points over Thursday. and of il 14 points since Monday of last week. There were heavy realizing sales, but the speculative appetite in this stock was whetted sufficiently to absorb all such offerings and still bid up the price. Union Pacific rose , i-4 points over Thursdays closing. and &-S over last weeks lowest. Southern Pa cihc . 2-S over Thursday, and i0 2-4 over last week The violence oL yos- terday's rise caused many commission houses to warn customers privately against the market. They pointed out that the markets technical situ- alton has already been greatly chang ed from few days ago, as a result Of the driving ont of tho short inter- est and the rapid accumulation of a weak and Unbalanced outside specu- lative account for the rise

The day's advance naturally created a new high level for some of the stocks that have been in tho fore ground of the movement since cleo ton. Besides Union Pacific and Steel, the list included Northern Pacific. B, R. T. and St. Paul.
