FINANCIAL NOTES

fHv private wire to A. E. Masten COD
NEW YORK. Sept. 2+.-We believe
that steel will hit lis before there Is any
important reaction and would buy
stocks on any setback. VIC wish "a
point out a reasonable probability or n
resumption Of liquidation after the cur
rent upward swing is completed
A steel expert tells me n" thinks steel
men will not like these prices so very
we'll when they are fully dtSestea. lie
thinks they are not @ bull card.
II seems to me these steel prices are
more bullish on railway equipment and
railroad stocks than they are on steel
stocks. 7 am not sure they arc bear
Ish on steel stocks at all. In August y
S. Steel Is supposed to have made forty
dollars a ton on steel tnder these
prices 1t is estimated It will make
twenty dollars a ton. Southern Pacific
made s204n00 more net in August than
il ever made before in any month.
With the steel prices out OF the way.
ii is probable that oil prices will BE- au-
nounced In a few days. They proha-
bly, will be about prevailing retailing
prices.

BEGINNING or THE NEW YEAR
Season That Awakcn5 Serious Ref!ec,
tion and Calls for New Conse-
Grafton Worth While.

Moment by moment, I'm kept in his
love,
Moment by moment I've life from
above"
The coming of the New Year awak.
ems serious reflection. A glance over
the past discovers much to regret In
the way of failure and duty, and lack
of earnestness and Christian Lying,
and the future is faced with sense
of responsibility to meet which re-
uuires serious consideration ana spe'
cial preparation. So the feeling arises:
I must reconsecrate myself to COD
and enter upon the year ahead with
new purpose of Christian fidelity. But
how shall this be done? The usual
way is to attend conservation meet
ing. some special device appointed by
the church for just this purpose. 1t
may be watch night service, or an
early PRAYER meeting on New Years
morning, or some other religious serv-
ice intended to deepen the impression
of Christian obligation, and lead to a
new resolve of Christian faithfulness.
The meeting is attended in all SINGER
itv and the effort is made to bring
oneself into harmony with the idea or
purpose of the proceedings.
No doubt an addad, -p&Jnentum In
the Christian course may be obtained
by the effort to secure for oneself
firmer purpose of fidelity and devo-
ton to- God at the beginning of new
wear. but this should be regarded as
an uplift to higher plane On which
to start out for the coming year, rather
than as laying in supply or spirit
ual stores sufficient to last throughout
the wear. If one can gain fresh sense
of the presence of God, ever ready to
dispense the needful stores of grace,
and in this consciousness start out on
a new period of Christian living, de-
termined to avail himself of these sup
plies waiting for him at every stage OF
the Journey, he will have gained a per-
manent advantage, and not mere tenn
porary elevation Of feeling. To attain
the realization of a present God, a
helper in the time Cf need, in the sense
of whose presence and sufficient grace
life is lived "mAment by moment
this is the condition of conservation
which will outlast times and seasons
and give to Christian character an IN
creasing divineness, the reflection OF
Gods own light. To get upon a level
at the beginning of the year that will
insure the companionshp throughout,
in the Joy of which all the days and
months shall be traversed, this is a
new conservation worth while. God
NAV seem to come nearer to the Chris
tian at the beginning of the year than
at other times, but this is only be-
cause then he stops to listen to his
approach and waits to talk to him
more Familiarity and seriously than at
other times. If he will do this day by
day. the conservation meeting will be
indefinitely repeated and prolonged.
