suit was a great concentration of securi- ties in strong hands.
 A feature of the last half of the de- cline, which carried the market down F to 20 points, was the desperate and reck- less selling for speculative account There
 has not been a time since the panic of 1907 when such imprudent organizing
 was indulged in by the bear element Ine lower the market got the heavier the selling, until in process of time the snort interest became dangerously over- extended and the market worked itself into position which made it easy fol the strong interests that had been sup porting 1t to engineer a spectacular rally The market became as badly oversold as 1t had been overbought a month ago This is situation much to the liking of the big leaders, but one in which tbe public is rarely a. gainer, no matter whether the play be for an advance or a decline.
 The causes and conditions leading to the wholesale liquidation were repeatedIv and clearly set forth in these letters It Is not case of T told you SO, after the thing happened. Full warning was given in advance, in an accurate and in- partial statement of facts as they exist ed. The market had been pulled to death and no fresh buying could be inspired There was disappointment over the crops. the industrial revivsl had not taken place according to expectations and the public obstinately held aloof Railroad earnings were lean and the future was full of disbursement as to the main tenance of dividends. A year or two of political agitation was clearly ahead and there was nothing really in sight to buy stocks on. Liquidation was inevitable and there had to be a readjustment of values on a lower plane. Whether this liquidation is complete or not is an open question IT prices should decline to still lower levels the movement is likely to be conducted in more orderly manner than the slump of tho last two weeks. The money powers have given evidence that they do not intend the decline to be slaughter. From a purely specula- tive standpoint the safe play for some time ahead will probably be to sell on the rallies and take profits on the reac- tions.

New York, August 1s.--(Special) 1.-The wholesale liquidation of stocks came to m end on Thursday For several days the market had been given the strongest kind of support. not that aggressive booming hysterical support tinged with
 fright and uncertainty, but the kind that counts-not for fractional rally, but
 Tor an impressive recovery. The big in terests had apparently made up their minds that the only way to check the slump was to take all offerings and that IS what they did for several days in sue cession. There was no attempt to bid up prices, simply a determined campaign to bail out the market and take everything that come along, paying no more for the goods than was necessary. The re-

The East Orange Police Board has
devised a scheme whereby it is hoped
to increase the reserve force of the de-
partment without extra cost to the city
by supplying the men with a new as
sembly room where the District Court
formerly held sessions and placing in
it caro- tables and an up-to-date Ii
brary with other attractions. The room
win be ready for occupancy in a few
days.
I'VE feel that in giving the men fine
quarters to consregate in n supply

we win be able to offer inducements to
members of the department to come
around on their time off, said Presi-
dent Alonzo Messer, of the board, to-

provide a fine gathering place which
the men will use instead of passing

AID
PLAYGROUND FUND
Committee in Orange Expects
Collection Will Be Finished
Next Week.

While satisfactory progress has been
made in the work of distributing enve-
lopes for the house-to-house subscrlp-
ton plan OF the orange playground
committee, the limited time the Volun=
teer distributors have at their disposal
has prevented the complete circulation
OF the envelopes. The volunteers, who
are insurance men, will finish the work
next week.
The appeal to members of the Wom-
ans Club of Orange by the special COM
mittee which is working in conjunction
with the men has borne results, and in
addition TO the 81, 900 from the club
there are daily reports of contributions
from members. This committee, which
was the old playground committee
chosen by Mrs. Charles 3. Storrs as her
committee on the Orange playground.
The clubWolnen, who We're so keenly
interested in the Gray street grounds,
which they maintained for six years,
have been advised hat the Essex ave
nue. section. which is but three blocks
away from their other Fairgrounds, Will
be reserved for the little tots, away
from the baseball and football grounds.
The ive-acre field that is to be taken
over is the only ground available for
the purpose of a playground in Orange.
As an answer to some folk who were
fearful that politics was to figure in
the selection of the Fairgrounds COM
m%issioners to be named by Mayor Ar
thur b. Seymour, il was announced
yesterday that the mel whose gener-
osity has mace the purchase of the
field possible and the committee of
citizens would be consulted when the
mayor names the commissioners. No
political berths are TO be created for
those whose political standing alone
are offered as claims for preferment.
and Mayor Seymour has given assur-
ance that he will name the commission
from the list OF names offered by those
most intimately Interested in the play
ground movement.

CABBIES MAY QUIT AT
p. M. IF LAW is PASSED.
Drivers File Protests with East
Orange Mayor.

Night cab service after o o'clock may
be discontinued in East Orange by the
hackmen. ie Mayor Gregory approves of
the ordinance passed on final reading
by the City Council changing he rate
of fare to be charged when more thar
one passenger uses a vehicle. The
cabbies in the city called in a body to
see the executive yesterday and filed
their objections, which he promised to
take under consideration. 1t is be-
lieved the mayor will veto the ordi-
nance
Today the hackmen are allowed to
charge twenty-five cents a passenger,
but the ordinance provides that when
more than one rides the additional pas
sengers must be charged but fifteen
cents. After 8 at night the charge is
fifty cents for one passenger and but
twenty-five cents for each additional
passenger. In this way the earning
capacity of the hackmen for fourteen
hours-between in the morning and
. at nights considerably reduced,
they say. They also claim three men
can join together and ride to one house,
divide up the cost for three. and the
hae<inan loses twenty cents in the
bargain.
Further arguments ADVANCED by the
hAckmen We're that the cost of feed for
horses has considerably increased; they
are now compelled to have rubber tires
on their vehicles and the carriages must
be up to a higher standard than what
prevailed in the past. They formerly
charged fifty cents for each passenger
at night. which was contrary TO the old
ordinance and stopped by Mayor Greg
DRY, but he said he would try to have a
rate adopted that would be satisfae-
tory. He did not draft the present rate
and is thought to be opposed to it. The
cabmen said they will seriously con-
slider stopping work al 9 p. M, if the
new ordinance goes through. and so
told the mayor.
