Is II Honest +?

Is it honest charge than flair profit for any commodity

think
What constitutes fair profit commodity is of
determined by number things how many the articles
manufactured how much of the commodity produced and the
demand for it also how much capital produce it.
What reasonable charge for services largely dependent
the skill required the preparation acquire the skill
acquire the knowledge and the demand their for the services
number of other factors would also unquesonaby into
the determination of fair profit the sale of commodity and
reasonable charge for services.
But when careful estimate made of everything that should
determine the cost of commodity and the value of services is
different from stealing to make eXorbant charge
We difference between charging great big
for article service just because get
and stealing of his pocket just because do
it. All that charge him than the article the service
worth taking from him without giving him anything in
return either because he does know it's value of
other advantage have him.
We know that the of has been charge all
possibly get and that they have become wealthy We
know that has been the policy of certain political bosses and
criminals steal all possibly and that of them have
become very wealthy In each instance wealth has from
ting something that really belonged Others although class
but little difference in the principles violated in
securing it.
also dishonest attempt buy commodities
for less than they worth In doing this

cd, SO he encouraged his men to teach
the Moros baseball. When a man is
playing baseball he is not chopping off
heads. and Captain Morris appreciated
this fact
Two baseball teams were organized,
Moro team and team from Morris
company. and one day the first game of
the series was to be pulled of. Fhe
question of the umpire was the great
one of the moment. and after much h
discussion native Moro was selected
to pass upon the fine points Of the
game.

MARKET SUMMARY.
Improvement in Stocks Over Last
Week Is Noted.

New York, Oct. 26--Although move
ments of stocks this week were highly
irregular, there was a distinct improve
ment as compared with the pronounced
heaviness of the preceding week. There
Were a few periods of decided strength
which apparently were due chiefly to
short covering. The low level of prices
reached recently attracted no consider
able amount of outside buying and trad
ing remained largely in the hands of
professional element.
Spectators felt their way cautiously
and were inclined to await g. clearer
light on some of the problefs hang
ing over the market. Chief among them
are the effect of the new tariff law on
business and the influence of currency
legislation. Reports that important
notifications We're to be made in the
Glass-Owen bill We're received by spec
ulators with favor.
The influence of disturbed conditions
in Mexico was felt more plainly as the
week advanced. Reports of further
price concession in the steel trade and
reduction in working forces also tend
ed to promote bearish sentiment
Money rates eased off. Time and call
FUNDS and mercantile discounts were
lowered. Demand sterling dropped to
the lowest point of the season.

NEW work. Stock Afartxet

Wall ST., New York, Oct. 25.-STOCKS-
The action of the early market was dull
and drifting with prices shading. Few
buying orders were met on the way down
and general declines were half a point
to a point Rock Island shares lost most
of yesterdays vigorous rise.
The market closed firm. While the
movement of some stocks gave the i'm
preston that they were sold out, the main
course was disappointing to the bull fac
ton. Losses were comparatively small
but the market lacked the capacity to
take the event the limited amounts put
out without receSsions. The customary
weekend covering pulled up the list just
before the close to about a parity with
yesterdays final range.
Bonds were irregular.
Trading was unusually light at the open
ing today. Price changes, while small,
showed a definite tendency downward.
Steel, which opened unchanged, fell ~
point on the first few transactions. There
was renewed weakness in Pennsylvania
which declined point. Practically all of
the active stocks We're fractionally lower.
National biscuit rose Ia.

to ease off, the market afterward steadied
on account of the relative. firmness of

ter crop in the United States, was what
favored the bears at the outset Trade
was moderate, opening prices were 7sc
off to a like amount up and the market;
after a slight decline, held around last
nights level.
Prices were later upheld by the fact
that primary receipts amounted. to less
than half the total year ago. The close
was steady, Hc lower to a shade higher,
compared with last night.
CORN-Corn rallied with wheat and be-
cause of predicted stormy weather IheTe
was fair buying. The market started unz
changed to &c up, sagged temporarily and
then reacted to the same figures as the
previous close.
An additional upturn ensued and there
was firm close, nc to as@1sc net higher.
OATS-Dealers in oats appeared to be
guided almost wholly by the course OF
other grain There was some selling on
stop loss orders when the market for a
while threatened to become depressed.
OVISIONS-Provisions rose, influ-
enced by higher prices at the yards. First
sales were PIC to 712QlOc up and soiie
further gain was scored.
