FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, January S.-The trading on
the stock exchange during the first
week of the year has been disappointing
from the dealers point of view. The
hopes for an expansion of business with
cheaper monetary conditions failed to
materialize, realiZations become general
and the reduction in the Bank of Eng
lands minimum discount rate caused
only temporary steadiness. Final quota
tons were mostly lower with the excep-
ton of certain good yielding foreign
bonds. such as Brazilian. japanese and
throughout the week.
The poor support is attributed to the
uncertain political situation and a gem
eral disposition to hold off until the cleo
tons are finished. The selling by dis
appointed operators In the kaffir section
the large Indian loan and prospects OF
borrowing in other quarters had de-
pressing effect, which was assisted later
by the weakness in New York. while the
coal trade trouble operated against bust
ness in home rails.
American securities were subjected to
wide. irregular fluctuations. mostly down
ward. The uncertainty started by dear
money in New York became accentuated
ports of President Taft's message to Con-
gress. Rock Island shares moved in a
sensational manner. touching 6O12 and
closing at 1876. United States Steel suf-
fered because of fears of labor trouble.
and. despite strong Wall street support
in the middle of the week. the market
closed uncertain and irregular. with val
ues ranging from two points higher to
three points lower than week ago.
Money became plentiful with the dis
tribution of dividends early in the week,
and discount rates weakened in SYM
patty with the lower bank rate. but pro-
nounced ease is not anticipated in view
of the expanding trade requirements and
the demands for gold for India and other
quarters, as we'll as possible new loan
flotations and the knowledge that the
gold borrowed from the Bank of France
last autumn will soon be due for repay
ment

The Travelling Salesman.
from the Bookkeeper.


When a young man has decided to en-
ter the commercial field as travelling
salesman there are many things for him
TO learn before he can hope to attain any
pronounced success. He may have been
retail salesman. he may have made
hCuse-to-house canyasses In the old-time
way, but before he can hope to be a
success from the point of view of his
house as we'll as himself there are many
things which lie must have studied care
fully and seriously.
The first thing. perhaps, is personal
study. study of his own characteristics,
his lines of strength as we'll as inten-
tlonS.. Not every one is endowed with
the faculties which go to make up a
successful salesman on the road. He may
be pleasant a good talker in a social way
may possess vast fund of general
knowledge and good education in
schools. and yet be failure as a travel
ing salesman.
The best preparation which the young
man can possess Is a good, sound physique
and a pleasant disposition He must be
able to take rebuff without taking Of
Tense. An overSensitive man never yet
made a good salesman. He must possess
plenty of determination to hang on in
spite of opposition. OF course a good edu-
cation is a necessity these days, as it is
to one in any calling or occupation, in
order that one may use good English in
conversation with those who are able to
Judge along this line.
