CHANGE
IN CURB PRICES
Il. w. HULSE a. CO.'S LETTER.

The trading in copper securities
during the past week has been COM
paratively light and the trading that
has been done hes been for the most
part that of professional traders.
notwithstanding the scarcity of
trading, fluctuations at times be-
came violent. Drops were made to
new low levels in a great many in
stances but the recovery was almost
equally as rapid and closing quota
lions for the week are fractionally
higher than a week previous. The
resistance shown when prices fall
away and their action In quickly re-
gaining losses suggest the operations
of supporting forces of more than
ordinary magnitude and has prove a
great restraint to the bear leaders.
The tendency toward the closing
hour has been one of more frmness
but the buying end Of the market re-
mains practically featrreless. no con
centrated action taking place but
just a general wave now and then
wher Ii was necessary to countersct
a bear raid. Local stocks, with the
exception OF Boston Ely, showed lit
tie cnange from the opening to clos
Ing quotations but the sentiment Is
gradually getting more bullish to-
wards them. The long wait that
holders of Boston Ely have had and
lack of anything like encouraging re-
ports from the property, other than

member of any flock. If one of the
bretheren in a congregation. looking
for evidence of a brothers guilt,
shall happen to find it, he may be sure
the Lord knew it first. Wherefore
that member of an eastern church,
who asked: "Oh, Lord, help the Off
eial board of this chueh to deliver
us from the black-hearted demon in
our midst who now seeks to eele-
brate the second university of his
advent in this church" was, so far as
Omniscience was concerned, going to
wholly unnecessary trouble for pur-
poses of identification. If there is
"a black-hearted demon in that on
gregation, the fact was known to di-
vinity before ever it was known to
him who pretended to be telling the
Lord something he didn't know. The
result of this wholly useless gossip
ing was that the only member of the
congregation who is about to cele-
brate the second university of his
connection with the church walked
to the front at the conclusion of the
services and called the reporter to
the Thrown of Grace a liar. The re-
face, which was not returned a fact
seeming to indicate that the black
hearted demon" has more of the
Christian grace of humility than has
the adviser of the Lord.
A Just human view of such a situa-
ton as this was handed down by the
Supreme Court of New York a year
or two ago. A self-rigteous husband
had, at family prayers, fallen into the
habit of relating to high heaven what
he called his wife's faults and weak
nesses, and imploring Divine forgive
less for her sins, and a better under
standing of her duty. Exasperated
beyond endurance at last, the poor
woman one morning seized the fami-
ly Bible and hurled it at his head.
He sued for divorce. The wife filed
a cross bill in which this humiliation
in the presence of their children was
set out. The court, in granting the
wife a decreee, with liberal alimony,
pointed out what it called the en-
ormity Of the husbands offending.
The judges implied their conviction
that as much time as the ordinary
man gives to prayer could all be TAX
en- up in asking forgiveness for his
own transgressions, and they de-
nounced, as rank hypocrisy, hat ar
rogated virtue which presumes not
only to sit in judgment upon frail
and beset humanity, but also to in
form Omnipotence of what Is going
on in the world. This Is yellower
than the yellowest journalism, for a
Paradise edition of the sensational
extra has not yet been thought of.
