The Stock Market

Henry clews in his Saturday review
says in part:
| THE controlling influence in the stock
market Is the money situation. BY this
| is meant not so much the lack of ordi-
nary 1oaning facilities, as serious in
roads upon the available supply of cap
Iital. There is plenty of what is techni-
cally known as. money in the country,
but the demands for both credit and
capital have. been extraordinary for
several years. This is a world wide
phenomenon. International trade has
been running upon an unprecedented
scale. Industrial development has pro-
gressed marvellously In all parts of the
world, and the strain upon capital thus
induced was seriously aggravated by
the losses and hoardings of the Balkan
war. We have been turning capital,
which comes from savings only, from
fluid into fixed forms with excessive
rapidity; the result being temporary
scarcity and high rates. In the United
states the situation has been aggra-
waited by home conditions. Trade was
very active and there followed a con-
Requirements for capital have been
enormous. They have been held in re-
straint somewhat by recent high In
terest rates; the usual warning against
excess. 1t is well known that many
important issues are still pending for
industrial. railroad and municipal or
state purposes
'sASidA from nrnSnnt and
prospective of new issues sand the
temporary slackening of trade, there
is nothing to depress the stock market.
While the tariff may impose some re-
straint and unsettlement to certain lines
OF industry, its effect has been pretty
thoroughly discounted in the stock mar
ket
The most encoura ging feature at this
time is the crop outlook The condi-
tion of winter wheat is already known
to be excellent, and much ahead of a
year ago. Conditions of soil, rainfall,
etc, are also exceedingly satisfactory
throughout almost the entire country.
should the country be favored with an
other season of large crops, 1t will
more than offset all the present dis
advantages. The political situation at
the moment seems to be taking on less
disturbing features. The new admin
istration, while inevitably exposed to
criticism, is upon the whole making
commendable progress. The tariff con-
test is sure to be hot one from
the very nature of the controversy, but
the country is already convinced that
many of the protests as to the injury
OF revision are much exaggerated. The
future of the market depends very
largely upon the course of money, and
TINS IN turn depends chiefly upon the
pressure for new capital, and much dis
eretion will have to be exercised in the
placing of these demands upon the
market"

| w The constantly growing tendency
.oward eare1essness, in both OF
our great political parties, in the selec-
| ton of candidates for the vice presidency
is liable to work great harm. 1t is a
proposition If taken up by the progressive
party that would likely win it many
votes A moment of temporary aberra-
ton on the part of the republican con-
vention of 1900, gave us. seven years or
Roosevelt through the unfortunate de-
mise of President Mckinley The more
We see of Thomas r. Marshall. the
greater becomes our anxiety that Presi-
dent Wilson should enjoy the most robust
health for the next four years.
Far be 1t from us to criticise the vice
president The point is, as we see ii,
President Wilson suits the country
Thomas r. Marshall would not suit the
country President Wilson is the type
of man needed at the head of the demo-
cratic party right now when it must do
things. must perform acts, must make
history, and establish itself in the firm
confidence of the American people. The
only thing In common between the Presi-
dent and the vice president is, that they
are both called democrats.
Mr.. Marshall likes to talk He displays
the biggest line of goods in this direction
of any small man at large. In some way
he had earned a reputation of pulling
an epigram every time he opens his mouth.
He has recently put over few of his
choicest brands which has fingered with
his hearers like sour dream. If they
were the utterances of the President of
the United States, or reflected the views
OF the President, 1t would be like throw
ing a monkey wrench into the machinery
of every industry in the country. The
wheels of progress would stop, commerce
would totter several plain and fancy tots
business would pause and stay paused in-
definite.
Changes in the tariff laws of the coun-
try have always brought on stagnation
in business because of the uncertainty
which necessarily follows the sintroduc-
tion of a tariff bill. In the present
instance the country is prepared for the
change and has discounted it far in adj

RAIN ON THE ROOF

vHEN the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
What bliss to press the pillow
OF cottage chamber bed,
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overheau'
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart;
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start.
And a thousand recollections
Weave their air threads into woeL
As listen to the patter
OF the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother,
AS she used, in years agone,
10 regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn;
so 1 see her leaning Ger me,
As | list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of therain.
Then my little seraph lsister,
With the wings and waving hair,
And her star-eyed cherub brother
A, serene angelic pair
Glide around my Wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reproof.
AS listen to the murmur
OF the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes, to thrill me
With heA.eyes' delicious blue;
And | mind not. musing on her.
That her heart was all untrue;
| remember. but to love her
With a passion kin to pain,
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadence
That can work with such spell
In the souls mysterious fountains
Whence the tears Of rapture we'll,
AS that melody of nature,
That subdued, subduing strain
Which is played upon the shingles
BY the patter OF the rain.
