this reason the average man post
PONIES buying until we are in such a
period, and it is true that such a
period inevitably comes at or near
the end of at least an intermediary
movement in stock market prices.
This is natural, inasmuch as the re-
ports and runners which r used to
work up such a conditions of mind
are largely manufactured and al
WAYS we'll timed. This was certainly
the case last week, when the air
was thick with a variety of rumors
and reports such as should have
made the most credulous stop ana
think.
The outlook continues just as
bright as ever from the standpoint
of business, and while money Is
somewhat firmer, there is nothing In
sight to indicate that rates will be-
come high enough to interfere in any
way with the progress of business
aud speculative activity. One rule
followed by many in estimating the
values of railway stocks is a COM
parison between the returns to the
buyer made by the dividends and that
for time loans. The rise in prices
has still left the return to holders
of stocks somewhat higher than the
time money rates, although the lat
ter are advancing and at the recent
high price there was not a very
large margin left. There is always
something to be left to speculative
conditions, however, and especially
the possibility of higher dividend
payments. The probabilities are that
the current weakness will prove to be
simply an incident inJthe general up
ward movement, which has been dis
counting the return of good business
and the bright outlook for The fu-
ture.-Boston Financial News.

STOCK MARKET WEAKNESS.

The stock market has experienced
a rather violent break during the
last week without there being
any change in business conditions to
cause a reversal in the attitude of
the speculative community. The
simple fact seems to be that the more
venturesome of the speculative ele-
ment had bought more stocks than
they could finance, SO that it required
only a moderate decline to compel
them to reduce their commitments.
These intermediary movements in
stock prices are a common phe-
nomena enough, and should excite
no distrust of the basic conditions
on which the higher level of prices
as compared with last year, is based.
1t is always a question as to whether
one or many stocks are selling for
the difference of opinion in respect
to this that makes the foundation
for legitimate speculation.
~ 1t is patent to everyone that securi-
ties are worth more than they were
a year ago. for the business of the
country is in vastly better shape, and
with the large crops harvested we
are undoubtedly facing a period of
general prosperity. This will in
evitably lead to a more liberal policy
in the matter of dividend distribu-
lions, and there are also benefits
which may arise from consultations,
made possible. by the change in the
Sherman antitrust law and econo-
mines incidental to a concentration of
many of the railway companies have
been extremely conservative in the
matter of dividends in the past, and
have as a result of this conservatism
built up large treasury SURPRISES
which may easily be made the basis
for a distribution to stockholders in
some form, of the money withheld in
the past. All these facts must be
taken into consideration in estimat-
ing the proper price for a security,
and, as We have said, it is the diff
ference of opinion which exists in
respect thereto that induces s%pecula-
ton.
Business conditions, rates for mon
ey, crop yields and SO on do not
change materially from day to day,
however, and the large financiers who
base their speculations on these dc
not therefore reverse their attitude
frequently. 1t seems that a certain
degree of excitement is necessary to
induce active speculation, and for

TAILED spECKs CROSSING SUN
Sea Captain Saw Comet-Like Spot I
Three Observations.

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE United
States photographic. Station has been
advised of a distant black spot, with
a.cometlike tail, travelling around the
surface of the sun, as seen by Captain
J. Jensen, commander of the fruit
steamer Admiral Farragut, in port
today from Jamaica.
Captain Jensen stated that he saw
the spot through the colored glass of
his sextant when off Charleston, S.
C. The captain took another obser-
walton of Cape Hatteras, and the spot
had moved in a southwesterly direc
tion, while a smaller spot seen on
the previous occasion had disap-
peared. On Sunday last, when the
Farragut was off Nantucket. the
phenomenon was again visible.

should have been any restriction
upon it. Taft has urged the open
door ever since his connection with
the islands under the Mckinley adj
ministration. But the sugar and the
tobacco ,barons planted themselves
across the road, and unfortunately
had power enough to obstruct the
channels of trade with the Islands up
to the present. The Louisiana rice
growers, however, got in their work
on the present bill and prevented the
admission of rice grown in the is
lands free of duty. This lays the
consumers of this prime article OF
food the country over under the heels
of the Louisiana planters. But time
will rectify this when the consumers
get a hearing in Washington. The
consumers have not been heard yet.
The work of education goes on, how
ever.

TAFT IS FOR
POSTAL SAVINGS

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 26.-Pres-
ident Taft indicated in talks with
callers today that in his message to
congress next December, he will
strongly urge the early establishment
of a postal savings bank system. He
will ask that the Republican plat
form declaration in favor of the
postal banks be fulfilled as speedily
as possible.
President Taft believes several
hundreds of millions of dollars would
be placed at the governments dis
posal through postal savings banks.
1t is suggested that this money might
well be employed in taking up the
5000, 100000 or 500, 900, 900 out
standing of government 2 per cent
bonds, which have given much con-
Germ to the treasury department Of
ficials. Already the bonds are sell
ing below par n there is fear of
further depression. The president
believes the postal banks would APP
peal to timid persons who are afraid
to trust the ordinary banks and who
would rather get the small interest
the government would give than to
place the money in the regular saw
ings banks.
BY placing the interest to be al
lowed by the postal banks at less
than 2 per cent, Mr.. Taft is con
vinced that no harm would be done
to the ordinary banks of commerce,
for discriminating persons who now
place their money in the banks and
are appreciative of what these banks
are doing for the community would
not withdraw money drawing a high
rate and place it under the govern
ment care at half the interest offered
by the ordinary savings banks. Sec
reary Meyer strongly favors the
postal banks.
President Taft expressed himself
as unalterably opposed to a guarantee
of bank deposits. He declared he
did not believe in making one set of
bankers stand responsible for an
other set.
Tomorrow the president will con-
fer with Senator Aldrich, chairman
of the senate finance committee. and
Secretary MacVeagh. The postal
banks will have a share in the dis
cussion.
President Taft had a long talk
today with Amos p. Wilder, Ameri-
can consul at Shanghai, China, and
discussed with him the opportunities
for extending American trade in that
empire.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION

The American Bankers Association strongly condemns deposit guaranty laws. But the association is com posed of bankers instead of politi- clans, and therefore cannot be sup posed to know much about banking affairs. Kansas City Journal.
 And, it should be added, that the Bankers Association is not composed of workingmen. or farmers, or de- positors who may have lost their all through some crooked bank deal and failure, or who have had their funds in some bank and have been unable to get them when they desired. No, the Bankers Association is composed of bankers looking out for the inter- est of the bankers which is their unquestionable right. But there are two sides of the question, and when it is all threshed out there will be found some means by which a man who saves his money and de- posits it in bank may be certain to get it when he needs or wants it.

How Land Sharks Rob Us.

According to H. H. Schwartz, chief of the special agents of the General Land Office, an "actual in- spection of hundreds of commuted homesteads show that not one in a hundred is ever occupied as a home after communication. They become parts of some large timber holding, or parcel of a cattle or sheep range" !" He further says: 'lt has been my experience and observation in ten years field service that the commut- ed homestead is almost invariably an entry initiated with full intent never to make the land home" Under the communication amendments B, ,000,0 acres of land have been acquired, which Mir. Schwartz esti- mates were worth more than $350,- 900, 900 at the time the title left the government.
 In reference to the Timber and Stone Act, the same authority says that mot over a fractional part of one per cent of the timber lands purchased from the United States under this act is held, consumed, or even cut by the parties who make the entries" These timber lands, which cost S25. .000.O00 at the date of sale, were reasonably worth $24O,- 900, ,000."
 It is curious fact that the word minimum in the Timber and Stone Act, under which land not fit for agriculture may be sold at the minimum price of $250 per acre. has been interpreted by the Land Department to mean maximum. That this term did not mean maxi mum was only discovered December l 1908, or thirty years after the law passed, at which time the perfectly obvious meaning of the law was at tached to it by governmental order. It is useless to surmise as to the forces which led the Land Depart ment to interpret the word minimum to mean maximum, and to maintain this interpretation for thirty years. But the result has been that the public domain has been dispoiled of more than 10,00O,00O acres of valu- able timber land at not to exceed one-tenth of it's real value. Written by Charles Richard Van Hise in Golfers.
