SELLS, THEN TRIES

w. B. Hibbs Surprises Local
Exchange by Unusual Trans
action in Bank Stock.

To sell ten shares of stock at a GER
tain price. and then promptly bid that
same price for ten shares. was the
rather unusual spectacle afforded the
local stock exchange this afternoon BY
W. B. Hibbs. the transaction being IN
the stock OF the commercial National
Bank.
The stock was offered at 2lO. while
1856 was bid for il. when Mi. Hibbs soid
ten shares TO the bidder al lSo. and
then tried TO buy ten shares at the
same figure. No stock was offered as
low as 1856. and. in fact, after ths
transaction. none was offored at all
below 210 so that the actual sale at
1885, apparently. would be very low in
consideration of the bid and asked
prices.
American National Bank also figured
in the trading, 10 shares selling at iGV
After this sale 159 was, bid, but none
was offered under li0.

UNION PACIFIC IS
STRONG ON CHANGE
Little Steel Also Strong on Re-
ceipt of First Good News in
Months.

NEW YORK. Nov. S.--Union Pacific
was the strongest of the leaders on
the Stock Exchange today, despite con-
siderable selling of this security by
London at the opening Its splendid
statement just before the Thanksgiv-
ing holiday is regarded as the prin-
cipal reason. outside of its generally
oversold condition.
London was credited with selling
1000 shares on an opening five-eighths
bove the close on Wednesday. De-
spite this, the price advanced from
1a1ss, the opening, to 152, stronger
figure than has been attained for some
days. 1t then declined to 151H.
Little Steel was strong on the first
favorable news for months, that the
price of steel bars. which had led the
decline in all of the products of the
corporation, was a little firmer. This
was seized upon by the bulls as an
turned, and, though 1t did not have
much effect, still the price hardened
from 5S5s. at which 1t opened, Is below
Wednesdays close, to ssh. afterward
dropping to even money.
There was plenty of news on copper,
and most M it fairly good. though
heavy selling by London prevented any
rise in the price, after an opening
three-quarters down from Wednes-
days close. Opening at 6S7s, it solo up
to five-eighths, and dropped off to the
opening price. The most cheering bit
OF news to holders Of copper stocks was
the strengthening of the price Of Elec-
trolytic to 10 cents, even money, at
which considerable sales were reported
to have been made today. Spot copper
warrants, however, were down 91 at
noon in London from the close on
Wednesday. Exports of the metal for
the week ending November q amounted
to 4999 tons, or a decrease of 3.769 tons.
Announcement was made that the
United States of Mexico 4 per cent
debt of 1904 coupons payable on De-
cember ] would be cashed on that date
or after by Speyer & Co. ,

EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION.

This is an age OF opportunity for
beginners. A hundred years ago our
great-great-gran were APP
prenticed for a term of years before
they began to draw pay. Today a
boy of 16 starts out at SIS to SIS a
week. The question is not how much
experience he has had, but whit he
can do.
Thomas A. Edison began electrical
work for "a firm in New York City at
$500 a month, when he had had no
previous experience in that firm s
employ, and had not even brought to
them a letter of recommendation. He
simply showed them that he knew
how to do the particular work they
wanted done.
Don't be afraid that you will be
left out in the cold because you
haven't had experience. The old
bookkeeper who makes mistakes is
not as valuable as the new one who
doesn't. The experienced" steno-
grapher who misses word here and
there and sends out soil5d, eraser.
blotched letters is not worth as much
as the young intelligent one who get:
things right and understands the
English language

SCOUTS AND SOLDIERS.

Admitting that the Boy Scout
in England is more frank
ly military than in the United States,
the question is being raised whethed
the course of trainig here, largely de-
voted to intoxicating in the lads the
eous. is going to make good soldiers
of them
Some of their work is reported as
follows:
81 gave an axe to neighbor
who's was broke.
II buttoned Mary's dress because
mama was busy.
81 shut up the hens. my faith
er would not have to.
MY grandmother lost her
glasses and I found them.
II lead blind man to his house.
There was a cat In q steel trap
and went and let him out.
.I picked up little bird under
a tree and climbed up and put it
in its nest"
All these things are good in their
way. They will not initiate against
boy making good any may make
him better soldier. The fight in
stinct is innate and will show itself
when. needed. If it isn't there il
cannot be instilled
And then think how gratifying
this Little Rollo school of training
for our future soldiers must be tc

SOME SOUND ADVICE.

To those worried souls to whom is
entrusted the guidance of the Fort
Wayne high school pupils, who art
so poutingly and threateningly in
sistent upon changing the present
order of the things, the news would
respectfully recommend for inspira-
ton the following helpful lines from
Walt Mason:
"Oh, parents and grannies, keep
tab on the kids, the Neds and the
NAMES, the Susies and Sids, and
when they're repining and fretful
and cross, say, 'There'll be no whin-
ing while 1 am boss,' Just rise and
command them to come from their
perch, upend them and hand them

1t has been frequently noted that
the importations of precious stones
furnish pretty good barometer of
business conditions. It is supposed
that people do not buy Injuries when
they are likely to need ready cash.

matter with this country's prosperi-

SOME SLIM "PICKIN's..

At this season employees of the big
corporation begin to figure on the
gifts they viii receive for Christmas,
but this year It is predicted there
will be lean pickin's.' The passing
of the New Haven dividend has been
a blow to many people who give lib
orally at Christmas time, and there
are the generally bad conditions also
to take into consideration. The year
has been a poor one for Wall Street.
Stock exchange firms. except in the
case of few, have suffered heavily.
Those with big establishments have
lost much money. The trust COM
panies, banks and big financial in
stitutions have also felt the effect of
the slim market.
There is one class of dealers whose
employees, however, are looking for
ward to something good in the way
of Christmas gifts. These are the
firms that handle Standard OIL They
have been doing a rushing business
and their employees have been COM
planning of being overworked.
The usual practice il the big trust
companies is to give employees a per-
centage of yearly salary, varying
from 5 per cent to 20 per cent, the
latter a mark of a very good year.
The private banking houses have
given big bonuses in some cases dur
ing the most prosperous years en-
ployes having received their full
years salary.
Stock Exchange firm in the big
years of the past have distributed
bounties with a lavish hand, but the
present year promises to be a moder-
ate one all around
