Stock Market Bears Sub
 jected To Bad Trimming"
LOSE SOME MONEY
Real Market Leade-s Display Gen eralship and Financial Ability
 To COntrol-POliticians
 Are Poor Spectators
BY w. G. NICHOLAS

New York, May 6.-(Special)-Tn stock market bears were subjected to had trimming" They lost a great deal of money on the to 8 point recovery and were given a good object lesson as to the power of the great banking sym dicates which went to the rescue of the situation about two weeks ago when de- moralization threatened. The big inter- ests kept their hands off during six weeks or two months of shrinkage in prices and took no part until 1t began to look as though there was danger of wholesale liquidation by the public.
 The market moved in harmony with the prevailing industrial and commercial de- pression and 1t seemed almost as though the tide could not be stopped. The big people came to the rescue and completely changed the complexion of things. The bear contingent, however, stubbornly in sists that the mere marking up of prices does not signify that their position is wrong. They contend that the funda- mentals do no. warrant any such recov- cry as has been witnessed and that the movement has been almost wholly artih- cial.
 That does not help the bears very much, however, as they have been obliged to stand a money loss of several points. It is the tape that counts after all and when the speculators strike an adverse market it is small comfort to feel that they are right. although big losers. TO be right and go broke simultaneously is bad business and proof of poor judgment. On this occasion as on several similar ones that have gone into history during the last year, the real market leaders have shown generalship and financial ability to control. Their programme this time shows no change from those successfully put through before, namely: to show the op- position no mercy but to go through period of successive daily advances. giv- ing the short sellers no chance to buy on breaks They do not allow any breaks of con sequence and if the bears do not get in out of the wet one day they find that they nave to pay more for their stocks the day following and so the game runs untll the SHOTt SelleIS HdNe eilhcA all settled or so fortified themselves as to be impregnabe. Then the reaction be- gins and the play is staged for another act.
 There is in this market what is called "an abiding short interest," that is, very strong bearish crowd that will not pc run in under any conditions. They be- lieve they are right and stand back or their accounts with formidable cash rein forcements. A story is told in Wall street about one operator who has been short 10000 shares of Steel common for two years, his account showing a heavy paper loss, yet he refuses to budge from his position and holds to the opinion that he will be able to buy in his Steel at 25 or less.
 There has never been. time when he could get out even. So it is with this so- called abiding short interest. It sticks through thick and thin and will not be
 disturbed by the drives that scare. so
 many of that ilk into making painful losses.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-05-07

Washington is playing quite a part in speculation these days. The market does not move exactly as the politicians would lke-that is, those politicians who mix stock gambling with their own speciality. It is notorious that the politicians Tn Washington and in state capitals are poor speculators. In nine cases out ten they loose money when they sit into the Wan street game.
 It is something they are not familiar with and they almost invariably mis- judge the importance of legislation which they are shaping and of investigations which they may instigate. Aided and abetted by some misguided bearish opera tors in Wall street, speculative coterie in Washington is said to have mapped out quite a stock exchange campaign based on the investigations which are being sev on foot in the House of Representatives. It is not the understanding that the congressman who are pushing the in- quiries are remotely connected with any such stock speculating play but that per sons who know what is going on and are keeping close touch with the work of the statesmen making that the ground work for operations on the ex- change.
 Thus far the experiment has proved Q dismal failure. Instead of breaking all to pieces, the stocks attacked from Wash ington show exceptional strength in most cases and the stockholders resentfully come to the support of their properties. Possibly if anything really damaging should be disclosed in. the course of the investigation,- the stocks affected might decline. If breaks do occur, however, 1t is odds on that it will be when the bears are not looking and that they will be T4 ,I~ ,1x 1.r that way.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-05-07

One feature of the inquiry which is to be conducted by the standing commit tee into the Steel corporation is giving insiders something to think about. It is that clause which directs the committed to pry into the speculative operations of officials and directors where such speculations have any relation to the cor poration and which may have been against the interests of stockholders.
 There have been several little deals which have worked out to the benefit of insiders which it Is claimed might not look well-properties in which insiders were interested being worked off on the company to the very great pecuniary ad- vantage of officers or directors or both. Wall street has been full of gossip of this sort ever since the trust was or- ganized ten years ago.
 It will be just as well that this fea- ture be inquired into officially and the stories either proved or disproved, as the case may be. That is the position understood to be taken by Judge Gary, chairman of the corporation. He says the policy of the company Is fullest pub licity and that if anything has been done contrary to good business morals and strictest honesty, the public should know it. If 1t shall be shown that the corpora ton is not complying with provisions of the law, it's conduct will be changed to fit the case.
 Malicious persons in Wall street are hoping the Stanley committee will dig deep enough into the personal side of tho l. Of

THEIR DRAWER ANSWERED

DtrinE the early psrt of September twelve men who had heard the svi- dence in the case of th. state vs. Re- attle charged with killing his young wife retired Co the Jury room to d,- libcrate upon reaching a verdict from the law and evidence presented fo them during the trial
 The twelve men. mostly tanners. who are tender hearted creatures Iiv- Ing aS they do close to nature. all knelt In prayer to invoke the guidance of the Supreme Architect In rending their verdict. for the life of a fellow creature was In their hands and their verdict meant life or death.
 In the dusk Of the Virginia twilight the answer that came to the twelve men was the correct one for they arose and cast a ballot. all voting the same Guilty as charged" and In less than an hour returned a verdict that brought the prisoner to the electric chair on Friday last. Just as the sun vas rising up over the Eastern hori- z'r to announce another day.
