MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The stock market has shown an inn
movement as whole for the last
week, but its action has been spas
modic and the price movements have
suggested a shifting Of leadership In
the list OF stocks TO facilitate pront
taking, while preserving bullish
undertone. The markets position must
be accepted as favorable to an i'm
provement. though there has not been
in evidence that pronounced optimism
which must come before a strong, Wig
orously active rise can be experienced,
particularly in the standard Issues
Sentiment in Wall Street, however. Is
mercural, and may come with little
warning either in favor OF or against
a bull movement. While political con-
ditlons have ever been disturbing to
the stock market. the business factors
which are essential to an Improvement
In the investment situation have dur
ing the week Just ended added another
support TO the belief thatsthis country
is entering a period Of prosperous re-
covery.
The news from the world OF business
and money has been encouraging. and
the glad tidings have come from a
wider range Of points, showing that the
feeling Of confidence previously mani
Tested i'm some centres Is spreading and
forming a frmer basis for future hopes
and operations. boundless tide of
prosperity Is rising and, barring a ma
tional calamity, this country faces n
period OF unprecedented business activ-
ity. During the weeks which have
been passing prior TO the one just
ended the earmarks OF Improvement
mistakabe, but ensuing weeks for re-
inforcing these forecasts Of business
and financial betterment have been re-
duired and each succeeding week so
far has emphasized the growth of our
national prosperity.
In the various branches OF trade and
industry the collective reports as re-
turned to commercial agencies during
the last week have shown pronounced
Improvement. The iron and steel bust
ness not only has kept up in the scale

but the demands on the various
branches Of that industry have
widened, more mills have been brought
to their capacity and numerous addi-
tions and improvements have been
planned to fill the demand for orders
already received and others indicated
by the constantly developing equipment
demands Of railroads and building OPP
erations. Crude steel is becoming more
scarce and merchant pig iron furnaces
have contracted for their full capacity

As to the Wagner nights, let me inform
your hasty correspondent that generally
five pieces, not four constitute a Wag-

OF a kind usually gives it its distinctive
character, and that the first half, being
the more serious Sad important, really

The Mayor cannot square himself
with the public for his utter failure
10 measure up to what was required
Of him in the present crisis in the
city's affairs by writing letters such
ms the one to the editor Of "The Long
Branch Record" What does the public
care whether the Mayor if left alone
would have had an investigation Of
his own, as he now says? 1t would
have been an investigation with a
whitewash brush. 1t would have been
an investigation by man so blind
10 what the situation required that he
kept Becker on active duty so long that
he was arrested for murder in the uni
form Of policeman.
And as for recognition of his good
work, the Mayor, In spite Of what he
says. has had it to an extraordinary
degree. lie has made a national--even
ali Observation-Disclosures through
the newspapers, which he says have
abused the good things he has done.
He cannot put aside the criticism
which has fallen upon him now as in
discriminate abuse He is being crlti-
eised now for his utter failure to serve
the city In its present great need. And
what the newspapers and public men
are saying Of him is not one-half as
severe as what the ordinary man in
the street says and believes Of him.
lie has fallen down before great
opportunity TO strike crushing blow
at corruption. Everything that he has
done since this scandal shows the
same faulty, or worse than fntulty,
that characterized his action in keep

a source Of annoyance and hindrahce'
In the drygoods trade continued ac-
tivity, with more confidence, mas peeh
displayed. The retail trade has begun
to show buying spirit, and purchases
include better grades at higher prices
than formerly. In the boot ana shoe
trade business has increased even with
enhanced prices which manufacturers
have been forced to establish owing TO
the higher prices for all kinds OF
leather. for which the demand holdf
strong. Railroad earnings reported
during the week show that recovery
is in progress, and railroad officials ex-
pect heavy traffic this fall Reports of
business i'm foreign countries have been
cheerful, and tell of much larger vol
ume and greater activity in all
branches.
The money situation at home and
abroad is adjusting itself to meet all
necessary calls, and the few instances
Of doubt expressed in the earlier weeks
were absent from the returns during
last week. The weekly statement of
the Bank of England was very salts
factory. The Bank Of France in It's
return showed an increase in gold hold
ings. and the whole statement reflected
an Improvement. Other foreign re-
turns contained no warning OF money
stringency, though a hardening of rates
will probably come as the volume OF
trade and industry increases. In the
United States the supply OF money has
been sufficient at easy rates The New
York bank statement issued on Satur-
day, August II, showed an increase in
surplus, specie, net deposits and loans.
Decreases in legal tender and circula-
ton were recorded. No immediate
cause for tight money is apparent, but
higher rates may be expected as busl-
ness increases and shipments Of our
abundant crops begin.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Hermann Bahr. answering an article
by Ludwig Barnay as To Bayreuth. says
that others besides the distinguished
actor believe that the people who take
part In the Wagner performances receive
pay for their services. But they re-
ceive nothing" says he My wife sang
the part OF Kundry five times In 1893
and Ortrud five times In 1911, and never
received payment In any way or form
And her case was no exception. For
those who are impecunlous tho living ex-
penses are paid. No one receives pay. no
one earns anything. II Mr.. Barnay
means that the tradespeople, agents, ven
ders, coachmen and house owners make
money, that IL another matter. But as
TO players or the Wagner family de-
irving any pecunlary benefit from the
performances-no All funds received In
excess OF production expenses go insD a
fund to secure the continuance OF the
performances"
