Friday, December Is, 1916

What happens cannot unhappen.
Once q thing has taken place no
matter in what fantastic manner, 1t
begins instantly TO ramify itself.
Change is rapidly sssimilated, else
perhaps one Of us had been here
Change also is strenuously resisted,
else perhaps again none Of US should
have been here 20 wonder at these
matters. Take United States Steel
common. IN September it rose 10
par and then 20 10, and It's ag-
rrandizement was so sudden and so
strange 70 the sight that columns OF
comment were written in scandallzed
dcnunciation Of Stock Exchange
speculators. The curious fact was
that many spectators themselves
were incredulous and heavily sold
the stock short Steel common could
never be worth 10. But it went on
up 10 l29&. For eight or ten weeks
IL moved up and down between 12O
and $50, until people could look At
IL without standing on their toes.
Now suddenly it falls in three days
10 100. and we have dismsy and
panic and talk Of failures. Millions
of dollars have been lost By the fall.
Many accounts have been wrecked.
That is not all Of it. So great Is the
sheer contrast created by this decline
that the same people who thought in
Scptember the stock was danger
GUS thing 20 buy at 100 are earnestly
recommending its purchase around
40. not on the ground that It's in
triDsic value has changed in the
meantime, but only because 1t has
had a violent fall. When Steel com
mon touched 100 in September one
could easier imagine its falling back
into the SOS, where the movement
started, than think of its selling al
100; but now that 10 has fallen 70
the level Of 10 from the level Of
100. it is easier 20 think of its going
back TO 100 than 10 imagine its sell
ing at par.
