FINANCE AND
COMMERCE
Wall Street.

New YORK, Il 25.-The most i'm
portant event in the financial district
today was the failure of a prominent
commission house whose operations
are believed to have been largely re-
sponsiblc for last Saturdays sensation
al stock market. The failure excited
no great amount of surprise and was
without very serious effect upon
prices. BY its own admission. the
firms affairs are badly tangled and
the fear was expressed that other wall
street interests may be unwittingly in
volved. In banking circles it was felt
that the failure would go far towards
clearing the misty atmosphere and re-
storing confidence among investors
who have been fighting shy recently.
Business on the stock exchange was
in moderate volume and with a fairly
firm undertone before the suspension
was announced in the early afternoon.
It then became unsettled and feverish
and remained so for the balance Of
the day. American Smelling, which
has stood the brunt of the recent sell
ing. fell most abruptly and material
declines were sustained by most of the
active issues. Apart from the local
situation the day was destitute of any
interesting developments.
There continues to be much conflict
of opinion as to whether or not in
dustrial and mercantile conditions
show genuine Improvement. Reports
of front damage to corn were rife but
failed of confirmation in authoritative
quarters. While the movement in
grain is still much below that of last
year. railroad authorities agree that
the coming month will witness a brisk
revival. AS for mercantile traffic, the
railroads lok for no greater increase
before the beginning of the new year.
A recognized statement of the
worlds available supplies of grain
show these changes in bushels:
Wheat stocks, United States east of
the Rocky mountains increased $4,000,
Canada stocks increased 5000; a1loat
and in Europe increased 1,100,0 600.
corn stocks decreased $4,000.
oats increased $50 600.
No important financial plans are be-
ing considered by any of the large
corporations Just now, although the
increasing easincss of money suggest
the feasibility of such ventures. There
was the usual rumors regarding
Southern Pacific financing in the near
future but bankers connected with
that property declare to n contrary.

ed that of Ontario and Western Tor

Signs of Craving Old.

A little more tired at close of
day; little less anxious to have
our way; little less ready to scold
and blame; a little more care for a
brothers name, and SO we are near
ing the journeys end where time
and eternity meet and blend.
A little less care for bonds and
gold; a little more zest in the days
of old; broader view and saner
mind, and a little more love for all
mankind; and SO we are faring a.
down the way that leads to the
gates of better day.
A little more love for the friends
of youth; little less zeal for es-
tablished truth; little more chari-
|ty in our views; little less thirst
for the daily news; and so we are
folding our tents away, and pass
ing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and
dream; q little more real the
things unseen; a little nearer to
those ahead, with visions of those
long loved and dead; and SO we are
going where all must go-to the
place where the living may never
know.
A little more laughter a few
more tears, aud We shall have told
our increasing years; the book is
closed, and the prayers are SAID,
and we are part of the countless
dead. Thrice happy, then, if some
soul can say, Il lived because he
has passed away"

There seems no way to prevent
legislatures from crowding into
statues of the State laws upon all
conceivable subjects. Some OF
them are necessary, more OF them
are useless. The voters OF each
district should during a campaign
take the candidates for the legis-
| ture by the ear. as it we're, and
whisper to them something after
this fashion: "We are sending
YOU to Baton Rouge, not SO much
to make laws as to prevent foolish
laws being made. Keep that in
mind, and if any one from the
forks of the unheard-of bayou
wishes you to father bill to keep
frogs from croaking at night, you
give him a prompt answer thai
YOU won't, nor will you introduce
a bill of any kind for any one else
unless there is pressing demand
for it from the people of the State
generally" Such an admonitior
could be varied to suit each occa.
sion, and by following the practices
we would not be deluged at each
session with all the bills to which
we have become accustomed

How Tax Dodgers Are Made.

HOW lstA DouScTS Arc uaOcs
New Orleans, La, Sept. %. Mr..
Solomon Wolff, an attorney of New
Orleans, and a consistent advocate
of reform in the laws governing
the assessment of property and
the collection of taxes, tells of a
case that has come under his OBJ
servation, which shows the need of
such reforms as that contemplated
by the constitutional amendment
exempting mortgage loans from
taxation.
1t seems that a prominent young
New Orleans business man who en-
joyed the confidence of the corpor-
alton by which he was employed,
was offered an interest in the bust
ness entailing an investment Of
$4,000. 1t was splendid oppor-
tunity, and his mother in law
agreed to loan him the money. In
order to raise the amount she
mortgaged some real estate and
borrowed the $4,000 from neigh
Dor, executing her note at 5 per
cent interest. The young man
gave his mother-in-law his note,
took the money and invested it In
the corporation. Then the tax as
SCISSOR came along, assessed the
corporation to the full extent of
the law, including the young mans
$40, 900, assessed the note held by
the lady, and assessed the mort
gage held by the neighbor who
had supplied the money. The
mortgaged property was already on
the assessment books for so per
cent of its value.
Thus the $4,000 was subjected
to four distinct assessments on
which taxes had to be paid. The
money having been borrowed at
the nominal rate of 5 per cent, the
young man was called upon to pay
all these taxes with the exception
Of the original tax on the property.
In this way the amount of taxes he
paid aggregated more than his
profit in the business, and he be-
came burdened with debt and con-
fronted with the alternative of
lodging legal taxation, giving up
his interest in the business or of
eventually becoming bankrupt.
What he did doesn't matter. If
he prospered the law was violated.
If he failed the existence of a fool
ish law was responsible for the
downfall of promising citizen.
In either case his experience
should prove a lesson to the peo-
pie of Louisiana.
