Wider Margin to Speculate.

IL takes a wider margin that formerly
to speculate on the exchanges, and the
gambling chances of profits and losses
are, therefore, smaller. This condition
incenses the successful professionals, and
they shift their capital and talents else
where. Bucket shops, under one guise or
another. thrive and are numerous They
are to be found rs formerly in practically
every community where there is a tele-
graph office. The multitudinous .'piker'
who formerly played the markets reck-
leSSly ON narrow margins, either reduces
his risks or quits. Outsiders rarely take
down profits. If they make Il lucky turn
they are persuaded to put back principal
and winnings into other dealS-wlth the
almost inevitable result of a total loss.
AS yet the new laws-those relating to
tariff, income and currency-have not
been subjected to very satisfactory tests.
and 4 may be a year before the expert
ment is completed The execution of the
new laws is TO a considerable extent in
new hands. and as everybody has been
told there is d faint of amateurism in
makes itself felt in the execution.
Some of the wise men of the business
world are of the quiet opinion that the
ideal situation under existing completing
conditions Will be to defer the beginning
of new projects of expansion until the
administration can show a little longer
record of things done and dangers
passed.
