The foregoing may not be exactly what
will be done in the stock market, but it
is certainly very plausible theory, and
sounds as though 1t might be true at
least In the honesty of its devisement.
There is a total lack of genuine bullish
sentiment in Wall street at this writing
| and whatever opinion may be found lean
| ing to higher prices is based wholly on
the theory that the big fellows are per-
sonally interested in making market
for heavy lines of securities, and that
they have the power to accomplish their
purpose.
| This is very unsatisfactory condition
for the general public, but not so bad for
the professionals and semi-professionals
who had as soon bet on what they think
insiders are going to do as upon funda
| mentals. What they want is action and
cue upon which to act. If they believe
| 1t is for the interest of insiders to put
the market up they will buy stocks, even
| though every surface indication and Wis
| ble sign point the other way. Similarly
| if they are satisfied the insiders want
prices to go off, you will find them on
top pounding away in happy harmony
and doing the best they can to carry out
what they think is the programme of the
market masters.

approved at a full conference of bankers
to be held on September a.
There has been wide divergence of opin-
ion as to the advisability of sending the
original ultimatum. in which the British
and continental banking houses demanded
that American bankers, after October 81
next, guarantee all bills of lading on
American cotton.
Inc obJectors to the ultimatum con-
tend that this action constituted a
tacit admission that the bankers here
would assume a certain amount of La
bility for the genuineness of the bills, a
situation which the DIRECTORS maintain
does not exist. They point out that in
the event of the American bankers refus-
ing the guarantee, the English banks
would find themselves in an untenable
position, as England must have the cot
ton which the United States holds.

communicated itself to the great business
body outside. This is shown by stead

are at the very beginning of a stupen-
dous crop movement, general earnings OF

The railroads themselves are contribu-
ting to prevailing pessimism by the earn

state commerce commission for higher
freight rates. The exhibits they are MAX

The elections and state primaries held

Those who had front seats and were
in position to look behind the scenery
said it was all stage work, and that the

the general outlines at the present mo-

blood and minds of the public. That
element among investors and spectators
who are Influenced by popular sentiment
are feeling mighty shaky.
In the background, however, there are
hundreds of thousands of men and wom-
en- who compose the great investment
class which is slow to move and slow
to feel the confusing action OF the sur
face tides and currents, and which has
an abiding faith in the permanency Of
dividends and in the stability of prop

of carrying the crop surplus from the
broad shoulders of the farming commun-
tiles upon the spectators and banks of
the big cities. The weakness in the
commodity markets is early sign that
speculative resources may not be equal
to the job of sustaining prices.
After all, farmers may be just as good
merchants as the bankers, and they may
know their business when they pursue
the policy of withholding parts of their
crops and scattering the distribution along
through the months instead of trying to
do everything at once and have gen.
eral housekeeping. The problem is one
which is at least interesting, and which
will provide food for thought
Although general business onS the stock
exchange is dull a dozen or more bob
tail pools are hard at work trying to
stimulate action in specialties. They have
not met with as much success as they
would like and in two or three instances
at least they have been obliged to con-
fess humiliating failure. One case in
point was that of the American Hide

insiders marked up the price of the stock

see their structure go to pieces with

public in on the artificial boom which
was organized, the insiders found them
selves with more stocks on hand. at the
finish than at the beginning. In addi-
ton they have a good-sized scandal to
explain and the stock may be thrown
off the exchange on account of the ac-
quiescence of officials of the company in
the publication Of misleading reports of
earnings and prospects.

Operations in the stock market this

revival of activity which was expected
Immediately after Labor Day did not
eyentuate On the contrary the uncer-
tanty and tinidty which prevailed be-
fore the holiday was more in evidence
after than at any time
The general public simply will not take
hold of stocks until it can see some
thing tangible to base belief of improve
ment. The tape reflects this public alb
stention from speculation and invest
ment. With political clamor growing
louder and deeper for further regulation
and supervision of railroads and with in
dications strongly pointing to further tar
if revision next winter or two years
from then there is admittedly little in
sight upon which to build a bullish cam

Furthermore, banks are already begin

demands. The surplus in the New York
banks has been abruptly cut into, the
surplus bank reserves have been reduced
from $55000,0 600 to s30,000000 In two or
three weeks and the outlook Is for still
further rapid impairment. From the west
and south the banks are drawing upon
their balances in the east and at some OF
the western centers complaint is being
made that there is promise of unlocked

betoken danger, but sufficient to be I'M
comfortable.

A much-tried prisoner in France is one
called Grand, who, If the guillotine ever
has its way with him, will depart this
life with more death sentences pro-
nounced on him than any recent criminal
Nearly two years ago he was sentenced
to death by a court martial in the south,
by default while a fugitive from justice
Meanwhile he had time to commit other
crimes entailing death penalties and be-
came known as the vanishing Brigand
of Pouliguen." Being captured at last,
he was sentenced second time to death
by a court martial at Niece, and he had
many other death crimes pending in the
civil courts There was a manifest diem
ma If the sentence. of the military
courts were carried out and he was shot
the civil courts would have to Judge a
dead man, which was absurd. 1t was de-
cided, therefore, that he should be tried
for some of his other crimes first, and
one of these was the murder of a little
girl near Nantes. But he had also at
tempted murder in place near Brasso
so that he had been retained at Nice to
be tried for his alleged murder before
being sent to Nantes. When all the
trials are over he may eventually be con-
demned to death for the fourth time be-
fore he is executed. Grand, meanwhile,
seems to take things very calmly in
prison. An appeal or two may increase
the number of death sentences to hve
or six, until the authorities finally decide
to let the guillotine do its work.

BRAKES PUT ON
STOCK MARKET
Decline Must Be Orderly and
Full of Opportunities
FOR INSIDE UNLOADING
Elections and Primaries During the
Week Causes Some Uneasiness in
Wall Street-OperationsA are
Light in Volume
by w. G NICHOLAS

New York, September 1O.-(Special.)-
The financial powers have made it reas-
onably plain that they do not intend to
let the stock market down too fast.
The banks and their favored followings
have been hung up with enormous lines
of stocks, and it is manifestly not to their
interest to encourage precipitate liqui-
6ation or to contribute In any way to
market decentralization. On the contrary
their pocketbooks and bank accounts
favor an opposite policy.
If there is to be decline in prices the
descent must be orderly and full of OPP
portunities for inside unloading. The
programme as outlined by a large trader
with intimate inside connections and af-
filiations is to be as follows: Having
been hung up with the goods the banks,
or what is the same thing the rich men
who group around the banks, will so
juggle in the market as to work out of
their holdings without loss. They are In
control of the banks and they will work
the two so as to best milk the public.
by borrowing cheap money from the
DdlihS ana DuylnS dividend paying STOCKS
at low prices for the scalp of two or
three points there was in the operation.
That would have worked all right if the
stock market had held where it was or
advanced. Instead of which, however,
prices broke still further and what the
rich fellows made on the scalp they
have lost by depreciation of principal. 1t
is now up to them to get out, and this
they propose doing before letting the sit
uation get away from them. Not one in
10 of these men expect to see prices per-
manently higher for a long time to come,
but before they let values down very
far they will contrive to save themselves.
That will be the motive behind every
sharp rally which may take place, and
1t will be very strange indeed if we do
not see many such rallies. The scheme
is to encourage short selling, and when
over the market gets into an oversold
state to run prices up and trim the bears.
The bears and short sellers are scheduled
for continuous and merciless punish
ment, and they will get what is coming
to them If the machinery does not break
down or go wrong"
