Cry for MaXimum Prices.

No sympathy is wasted on the bears.
Nevertheless the Spectator who went
short OF the stock market in tho last
few days OF July has some cause for
complaint on the score that he has not
given run for his money. When
great decline seemed Inevitable the en-
change was closed. Then prices were ar
bitrarily fixed for months ut the closing
level, so that the Spectator short or
stocks could only cover at profit sur
reptitiously in New street. Before reopen
ing everything possible was done not
only to prevent declines but 10 start with
rising prices. The speculator for the de-
cline who had not wanted 10 adjust his
position in the meantime was caught
fairly That is why he is now heard COM
planning that there Ia more need for
maximum prices than minimum prices
OF course the profits that the bears LOST
through the closing OF the exchange are
more or less mythical. and they havo
no ground for complaint at all, II things
had been allowed to take their course
common disaster would result But what
happened yesterday illustrates the con-
tention that present market conditions ars
40 thoroughly abnormal that 1t would
not be well to draw hasty differences
from the first results.

icle. "Thc United states, with moro than

no one has taken the pains to contradict

predicament. It was they who were
obliged to defer by legal means tho pay

while here In this country no euch step
