TRADING STACNANT
In Yesterdays Stock Market--closec
Today in Observance of Hudson
Fulton Celebration.

New York, Sept. 24.-Stock trading
became stagnant today. The decision
to close the exchange tomorrow In
observance of the Hudson-Fulton Gel
ebration was partly responsible. The
wagering course of prices as a conse-
quence of the dullness could not fair
ly be accepted as reliable index Of
opinion on values The selling that
was done was not pushed at the ex-
pense of values. Preliminary est
mates of the weeks currency move
ment indicate small gain by the
banks from the interior, but smaller
than last week and with the tide of
the outward movement from New
York rising. Foreign advices repre-
sent widespread increasing demand
for money, and the desire to discour-
age further American borrowing for
supposed speculative purposes.
The feature of the meagre stock
dealings was the enormous individual
transactions in Reading, and to some
extent in steel The final drive against
Reading determined the closing tone.

: AN ACCREDITED SPREE.

Last week man was hailed before
Mayor Rollins on' the charge Of intoxi-
cation. He had been about the city
soliciting funds for the American Sal
walton Army Of Des Moines and bore
credentials from the captain in charge.
He had no book to record subscriptions
and could thus turn in as much or as
little az he pleased. There was no
question about the solicitor being
drunk. There are so many impostors
that this case would hardly be worth
recording, however, were 1t not for
the fact that this man was not an,
impostor. The mayor called Capt.
Hayes by long distance and he said
that the credentials were valid, that
the man was empowered to solicit
for the organization and further that
this was not the first time the man
had been reported for drunkenness.
An institution that will help the
victim of alcohol and do all it can
to put him on his feet and watch
over MIN in Ills efforts to overcome,
is worthy of all support and epcour-
agemsnt; but the organization that
sends drunkard out to represent it
and solicit funds for its support,
thus placing temptation within the
easy reach Of the unfortunate victim,
is worthy Of no assistance and should
be thoroughly discredited as Chris
tian or charitable institution.
The regular Salvation Army officers
are always uniformed and keep re-
cord of all donations. We believe all
such solicitors should be obliged to
register and receive permit from
the state and that they should be re-
auired by law to give receipts for all
funds received by them. We do not
wish to discourage giving. All of us
give too little. There is 40 man among
US vino gives the scriptural tenth of
his income for good works. We give
50 little in fact that we cannot afford
tn have any of it wasted on sprees.
The regular Salvation Army is all
right and deserves more than you will
be apt to give it.
