need OF qualified head overcome the
qualm.
Besides electing Mr. Heydler to MI
Mr.. Pulllam's unexpired term the d.
rectors concerned themselves only
with paying tribute 10 Mr.. Pulliams
memory. They gave the remainder OF
his salary for 1909 20 his estate and
appointed a committee to select and
have erected I'm Cave Hill a suitable
monument to Mr.. Pulliam. They also
provided that all players in the Ma

Though there was no set eulogy pre-
pared by the committee, each direc-

NEW YORK. August 1.-THE general
observation of the stock market Ill
the financial district today agreed as
10 its evidence of great underlying
strength. and increasing breadth III
spite of the irregular and, at times
reactiOnary movement OF prices.
There was obvious evidence that very
heavy sales to realize profits were
conducted throughout the day. the
absorptive power of the market ana
success which this gave to the enort
to garner profits, was remarked on
all sides. 1t is proverb in Wall street
that bull markets eliminate in furious
activity and excited advances. The
absence OF such appearances today re
assured rather than disturbed senti-
ment.
There was palpably going on
shifting of speculative holdings from
old to new quarters of the market.
Houses which have been conspicous
In the operations in stocks which
have led the market recently were
concentrated buyers today of stocks
which came to the front in the days
upward movement.
Southern Pacific Strong.
The most potent factor. in sustain
ing prices in face of the heavy realiz-
ing sales today was the vigorous
strength shown by Southern Pacific.
This was the most conspicuous figure
on the strong side of the market.
Southern Pacific's high price today
eclipsed all previous prices by lib
eral margin and United States Steel
tackled a fraction to its record.
The government report on cotton,

A Proper Objection.

The objection made by the Hon. The
tus w. Sims to the expenditure of $12, :
900 of government money to purchase
automobiles for the Vice President and
the Speaker of the House was we'll
taken. 1t would be in any light an alb
surd extravaganza at time when there
is deficiency in the Treasury and when
strict economy is needed in the admin
istration of public affairs, but if the
Treasury overlooked with money and the
people had no tax burden it would be an
unnecessary and improper appropria
ton. These officials are paid SO, 900
a year each, and there is no reason why
this sum should be augmented by APP
preparations for luxurious expenditures.
Both Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Cannon are
well-to-do in this worlds goods. The
Vice-President is generally known to be
millionaire, and though the private
fortune of Dear old Uncle Joe, +" the
simple sage of Vermillion County, ILL.,,
may be in degree problematic, it is
known to be ample for his support
should he lose his cinch on the Speak
er's job. Such personal considerations
may not properly enter into the question,
but they play part in which the public
thinks about matters of that kind.
