Trading of Light Volume
As result of this unsatisfactory
state of mind. trading has continued to
be of light volume. The market has
been for some time in the hands of the
professionals and Traction .chasers''
who rarely take a fixed position, but
are satisfied with the daily fluctua-
lions. provided they can inject a little
lie into the play. Even this element
srumbles at the narrow margins they
have to clean up their daily profits.
Advices from Washington are con-

Is in Wall street that it may be settled

financial world solid ground upon
which to make plans for the future.
By the term future is meant a
long term of years of freedom from
political Interference. Business men are
even more desirous of this than the
President, who is on record repeatedly
as anxious for continued peace among
all classes of the population. 1t is fel.

A reduction of the discount rate of

for the general easing down of money

business and speculation. Although the
readjustment of investments in bonds
and other high priced securities has
caused disturbance in that quarter, it
does not indicate weakness, and that

Want Currency Legislation

1t is the hope of the Financial district
that the way will be cleared for taking
up currency reform the first thing
when Congress assemblies in regular
session next December. Financiers are
deeply impressed with the Importance
of this subject and hope to be able to
educate the public to their way OF
thinking, so that action may be had.
Agitation for currensy reform has
heretofore been confined to a compare
lively small element and 1t has been
found almost a hopeless task to get tho
people as a who's interested. With
tariff out of the way. however, there
VIII be free field for agitation on
the subject and something practical
may be done within the next two years.
it is President Wilson's ardent wish
that his party put itself on record as
capable of handling the intricate propo-
sition.
Prosecutions OF numerous trusts no
longer engage the scared attention of
Wall street. The campaign in general
has become an old story, the details of
which arouse no excitement outside of
the officials and stock holders of the
corporations directly concerned. The in
quiries which are going on in Harves-
ter, Steel, anthracite coal and a dozen
other speeialties occupy very little
space in the newspapers ans are given
slight hearing. Proceedings which are
now reported appear to be largely per-
functory. There may be livening up
after tariff revision is off the hooks,
but for the present it might be sac
there is nothing doing as an excitent.

Pacific disintegration issue continues
to be one of the disconcerting elements.
He has given no cue whatever as to
what his position may be when a plan
is submitted which is really worth
while for him to take up. The expert
ence of his predecessor has taught him
that his safe plan will be to leave the
trouble for the other fellow, and not to
take the initiative or act as attorney
for the litigants To him his duty in
that regard seems plain. He has ap-

Stock Exchange Reform Held

The progressive element of the stock
exchange is pluming itself on making
real headway for reforms in trading
methods which will bring back the pub
lie and once more create wide specula-
tion. They have at last awakened 70
the vital need of such a publication
as will restore proper confidence in the
Integrity of Wall street. The present
disposition is to recognize the justice
cf the demands and to conform stock
exchange practices accordingly. This
is not new move, however, on the part
of the exchange. 1t is no novelty for
the public to become dfsgruntled over
what Is classified as unfair treatment,
and worse, but it would appear that
Wall street lapses back into its care
less ways after every reform move
ment. 1t is like reaction in the stock
market. An unkind financial publica-
ton has gone to the trouble of look
ing back into the records to find that
Just 25 years ago similar crusade of
publication was waged and a heroic
effort was made to convince the public
that it would thereafter have square
deal. long communication signed by
about 20 of the leading houses in Wall
street made public recognition of the
justice of the clamor for a fair deal,
through the frequent publicity of inside
conditions of properties whose securi-
ties were traded in on the stock ex-
change. The public was being skinned
even in those days. along much the
same lines as now, only perhaps little
more openly. Prophecies of future loss
OF confidence and of business on the
exchange made % years ago came true
in a variety of ways. An. election OF
officers by the New York Stock ex-
change for another year takes place in
short time. 1t may reveal the over
shadowing force of the progressive ele-
ment in that body.
