Recently at the same place a diff

in little groups in the same cigar

Of exhaust and grinding brakes, $5,-

the little cigar stand.
Out stepped a well-dressed young
man carrying cane. Diamonds
worth $4,000 sparkled from his fingers
and crayat.
He tossed light dust coat into
the rear seat of the automobile and
fiicking particle OF dust from his
highly polished tan shoes stepped
forth briskly into the cigar store.
There was an immediate cessation
OF all conversation. McCarey stepped
up eagerly and shook hands with the
newcomer. The latter was a Mexican
boy with bright eyes and a healthy
skin. His shoulders were broad anc
powerfuI and he carried himself as
man OF affairs.

SPEECH Is UNCERTAIN
Belief General That New Jersey
Corporation Laws Should
Be Reformed.


tCoDyright, 1912, by The New York
Eveaing post Compsny1
NEW YORK, Jan. l4.-Today's re.
newed declines on the stock exchange
may, no doubt. have been partly al.
trlputaDle to the peculiarly interesting
stage reached by the London peace
negotiations and TO the continued wav-
ering or the copper market. But these
certainly seemed to be
overshadowed by a spirit Of unpleas-
ant uncertainty arising from the moot
ed proposals OF regulation OF stock ex
change affairs by public. authorities.
In this. as In many episodes of the
sort, It was the unknown which was
magnified.
Business on the stock exchange was
considerably more active than of late
and the afternoon declines rather
more general. Prices, despite mucf
uncertainty, were pretty well held II
the forenoon market, but weakness,
was continuous during the two clos
ing hours Reading, Steel common
and Union Pacific were the conspic
uously weak points OF the active list
losses OF two to three points beinl
made In these and In number o
other stocks.
European stock markets moved un
certainly, but London was not q heavy
seller. What view the market actual
ly took Of Gov. Wilson's recommends
tions for the thorough reform OF the
New Jersey corporation laws. Il is
impossible to say. II may as well be
however, that 1t was high
time these loose and mischevous
statutes we're thoroughly overhauled.
Every one familiar with the facts is
aware that those laws are primarily
responsible for much that has brought
about the present unhappy relation
between Wall-st. finance and the gen.
eral public.
