ago. Again the Treasury situation is
becoming more acute and the Govern
ment will soon be obliged to issue
bonds to meet expenditures on the
Panama Canal. Unfortunately this
issue is delayed by Interpretations Of
the law concerning the postal savings
banks, which were expected to pro-
vide a market for the new bonds.
Altogether the money market Is in an
interesting situation. Doubtless 1t
will work out of present difficulties
into an easier condition later on, but
during the interval is likely to be a

New York, Nov. 1.-The reaction in
the stock market came, as fore-shad-
owed in my last weeks letter. The
pace of the two previous weeks had
been altogether too rapid, and much
Of the advance in that period was
quickly lost. Although the rise in the
market had been led by very powerful
and aggressive interests, yet there
remained exceedingly influential par
ties not entirely in sympathy with the
advance. AS a result the taking of
profits began on a large scale.
Aside from profit-taking and manip-
ulation an important cause Of reaction
rested on monetary developments
Last weeks advance in the Bank OF
England rate concentrated attention
upon the monetary strain threatened
In London. For months past foreign
experts have been harping upon the
probability of a monetary crisis in the
United States this autumn. Singular
ly enough the situation has developed
so that there is little or no danger oil
crisis in this country, and that if q
crisis is TO occur at all it will mos
probably be in London, just where
the warning to America has original
cd.

of our best trade barometers. 1t is
stated that only 65 per cent Of the
blast furnace capacity of the great
Steel Corporation is now being oper-
ated. In various directions, however,
signs of betterment are multiplying.
The inquiry for pig iron during the
last week has shown a. decided re-
vival, indicating that Industrial ses-
Establishments see better times ahead.
Moreover, before very long the rail-
roads are likely to enter the market
as larger purchasers, and their trans
actions are always the most important
and significant factors in the steel
industry. For many months the rail-
roads have curtailed purchases and
postponed improvements as far as pos
sible. Such economy could not go
on indefinitely, and ere long we are
likely to see an accumulation of or
ders that will impart old-time activity
to our steel mills. For reasons of
their own the railroads have further
delayed the placing of orders until
having some idea as to what the out
come would be of their claims for bet
ter rates before the interstate commits
sion. These decisions may be expect
ed soon after the elections. In all
probability the railroads will obtain
some concessions; while traffic has
been so we'll sustained in spite of the
recent depression in trade that divi-
dend rates have not been at any time
seriously imperilled.
Political Situation.
AS for the political situation, that
will soon settle down to normal condi-
tons. Next week the fight
will be over, and the campaign has
already degenerated into one of per.
sonalities rather than economic issues.
The technical situation of the market
is good. Stocks are in strong hands
and prices generally upon level that
should be attractive to investors. The
recent reaction will probably be bene-
| fetal, because it will impress upon
operators the necessity of caution, and
tend to avert monetary difficulties
Before very long funds will begin to
return from the agricultural districts
and Western farmers, it is said, are
borrowing this year less than usual
Western bankers seem to anticipate
plethora of idle funds next winter
which means that money will ulti
mately accumulate at this center and
bring in lower rates and rising bank
reserves. In the bond market there has
been considerable improvement, and
the outlook is now more hopeful than
for some time past, although the re
cent decline in stocks has temporarily
checked the investment demand.

The police court judge could not repress smile when
his eyes rested on card that was lying his desk
during session of the court. On it were printed two
stanzas under the title "The Perfect Man." and he
could not but look at the motley gang OF prisoners who
sat before him. And he did not think the card had
been dropped accidentally. The verses read:
There is a man who never drinks,
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears,
Who never CANDLES, never firts,
And shuns all sinful snares-
He's paralyzed.
There is man who never does
Anything that is not right.
His wife can tell just where he is
