The Markets:
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of tho Days DeaIinss in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec 22.-The extreme dull
ness into which the stock market fell to-
day was traceable to the restraining in
iluence OF me tishtness or the cal money
feSslonal trading clement that this condi
ton is temporary and incident to the
year-end requirements and to be succeed

in the market, the disposition to adopt a
waiting attitude and the probable though
silent response to helpful factors. Spe-
cial stocks rose from particular causes.
in spite OF the weight OF oppression on the
general list caused by the narrowing of
credit resources. The call loan rate touch
ed the highest of the year and large
amounts were placed at the higher rates.
The largest of the Wall street banks was
reported to be out of the call loan mar
ket., Aside from the important subtrac-
ton OF actual supplies thus caused the
incident was of sentimental influence on
account of the drawing of lines between
parties of capitalists suggested 1t is COM
mcnly assumed in stock market circles
that the great speculative campaign of
the past year, while acquiesced in by all
the most powerful capitalistic groups, has
been most largely entered into by the
group centering its interests in United
States Steel.
1t is the conviction of stock market
observers that much of the years accu-
mutation of stocks in pursuance of the
speculative campaign remains Mndisturb-
ed A lack of hearty cooperation among
the most important groups of capitalists
in carrying the speculative campaign to
IA successful conclusion might involve
great changes in the ultimate outcome.
There were occasional responses today to
favorable developments, the effect being
to add TO the credence with which rumorS
were regarded of other prospective IN
creases. Pennsylvania responded to the
large disbursement to the stockholders OF
the two subsidiary companies, the Penn
sylvania Co and the Pittsburg. Cincinnati
& St. Louis. Relief in special distri-
button to Reading stockholders seemed to
be strengthened.
Industrial stocks here and there re-
lected the hopes of stockholders of in
creased dividends. There was another re-

occasion for remark. The tone Oh the

OUR ADVERTISERS

We are not getting near the amount
ii. and as a resdlt Hayti is missing
lots of trade it ought to get.
We have tried 10 be good to the
Hayti merchants by cDntining our
space as much as possible to home
merchants. We have solicited no adj
vrrtiSing from other towns, and have
declined several yearly contracts.
In the meantime our Hayti adver-
Using has steadily grown less, and
some of the merchants have quit alto
g"ther.
Now, as a matter of course We could
load up on Sears & ROebuck. Spiegel,
May, Stern Co. and a lot of other ad-
vertising, patent medicine stuff, etc.
but it would be money To the people
of Hayti to support this paper, and
they ought to do it.
If Hayti cannot and will not support
il paper, the quicker that fact can he
aScertained the better. We are here
best for the town, but We must have a
living.
The first year is the hardest part in
the life of newspaper and all the bu,i-
ness men in Hayti and Charlottesville
We have heard express an opinion say
the town ought To donate the frs
year office rent, and VIM. Foley O
the board of alderman says he is il
favor of this, but We neither ask Oh
expect donation and would not ac
cept one, but good ad for the town
showing its location, would be money
we'll spent,
We know it pays to advertise, anC
if Hayti has a paper it certainly mus
support it. These are facts.
Our merchants must learn to adver
tiSe, good and hard, and keep it up.
We regret to make remarks lik
these, but there is no use going behin'
the bush.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-05-20

\ newspaper must stand for some
thing. 1t is the purpOa" Of the Hera Id
to stand for the best interests of Hay
II, and in doing this We must neCeS-
sarily oppose some people. There
are always two elements of people i'll
every town, and generally two sides
to every question People do not all
See and believe alike, and a whole lot
of them will do wrong and persist in
doing wrong when they know it. 1t is
this class that are forever trying to
block the way of the newspaper. They
do not want to be told of their mis-
deeds and do not want the eyes of the
public turned To them. These are the
people who always go around with
ther backs up, cuSSing the editor. just
listen to them on the streets, on the
corners and everywhere juSt listen TO
them cuSS the editor, and mark it down
in your little book that the man who
told that a certain remark in the pa
per just lit their case and II did. The
editor generally hits the mark, and
it makes a sore place. Good, honest,
honorable, falrmlnded people do not
get mad at the editor for demanding
right, Justice and fairness to all men,
even if they are disposed to violate
the rules of right now and then. 1t is
the naturally mean, selfish, narrow,
he can't have his way, and ii newspa-
per that cannot make this class get
upon their hind legs and roar is worth
but little To the country.

Our new city council will ha We to be
careful in following out the old or
dinanceS. to avoid mistakes. These
old ordinances are very defective and
conflicting, and the need of new ordin-
anceS is keenly felt 1t will he re-
membered that We published list of
elective offices. We did this to keep
down trouble and confusion. But
these offices were not voted on, being
considered appolntive, Now, the
board is trying to remove the city at
torney, and at the same time is think
ing of appointing street commission
er, when under the ordinances these of
fees are elective. An appointive or
dnance was passed and approved
April IL, 1903, hut an elective Ordin-
ande, repeating the former ordinance,
was passed on Aapil IL and approved
on April Is, 1903 We believe in the
elective franchise the vote of the
people-and We believe an election
should be ordered, that the people
may choose their servants.

our remarks are not meant to cast

Young EIliSton, who did the shoot

downward course, and from what We
learn. his dowfall must have been due
at first to some unthoughted act, and
! later by disease and drugs, and there
can be but little doubt that at thu
time of the act he was mentally un'
