GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


1t probably would have been extremely
difficult early yesterday to have found
anywhere else as much pessimism as
prevailed in that small area known az
the financial district. Rumors were cur
rent that the brokers would only pur-
chase for cash and that those long OF
stocks on margin would have to take
them up. There were also many re-
ports of a pro- German nature that ADDED
to the general gloom and helped the PRO-
fessional traders depress prices. by
piercing the financial fog, however. IT
was learned that the selling represented
the tail end Of a liQuidating movement
by certain men who were 30 successful
In the cotton market in weeks gone by
that they thought they would try their
hand in the stock market, notwithstand-
ing the restrictions on speculation asked
by the banking fraternity. A certain

however. being for long account. At the
low level fair amount OF investment
buying was reported. in small as
we'll as In substantial lots. but the total
did not amount to much in volume.
When the market began rallying reports
we're current that the bankers would per-
init security time and call loans to the
amount of $500. GOO, 900 and that they ag-
gregated only $500, 100000 at this time.

Restrictions Directed at a Few.

II developed yesterday that the in
creased restrictions being placed on over
speculation are directed in the main
against few in the financial district
who. X their operations had been per-
mitted to continue, would have turned
the market for securities on the Stock
Exchange into gambling affair. Under
the new order the bankers are in posi-
ton to know Just what these houses are
doing, and II these firms persist Up ex-
banding their speculative commitments
they are expected to be informed that,
while there may be credit for others
the banking community does not care to
finance their gambling operations. This
does not mean that legitimate specula-
ton win not be permitted within con-
sentative bounds. for the bankers AZ
well as the Stock Exchange authorities
realize that a certain amount OF specu-
lation Is necessary as a safety cushion
for erratic price fluctuations. The lid
however, han been placed firmly on gam
bling.

How Long VIII 1t Lasts

THE boy plunger" is again reported to
have received a licking in the stock mar
ket as we'll as in the cotton market. He
Is said to have been caught on the wrong
side Of cotton and stocks SO many times
the last year that the question now be-
ing asked is: How long will the fortune
he accumulated in the last big bear cam
paign lastT' Professional traders admit
that this fortune has been the only one
that they have been able to gun at for
about year. and while there would
probably be much qualification expressed
by the Stock Exchange governing COM
mittee should he be forced 70 retire there
are few who would mourn his loss
financially.

HYLAN FIGHTS NEW
TAX BILL CLAUSES
Asks Other Mayors to Oppose

nicipal Bonds.
FEARS INJURY TO CREDIT
Against Undue Preference to
Farm Loan Bonds Over Sc
curities Of Cities.

Mayor Tylan addressed letters yes
terday to the Mayors Of all the principal
cities in the United States protesting
against the sections of the revenue meas
ure that would tax the income on mu-
nicipar bonds. He fears unnecessary in
jury to the credit Of the city OF New
York as we'll as the other cities Of New
York State and declares that It would
affect any municipality that has Dor
rowed or may expect to borrow money
hereafter on municipal issues. 1T will
DO great and irreparable injury to the
try" says Mayor Hylan.
The undue preference such tax
would give to farm loan bonds was
scored by the Mayor, who wrote: IT
feel, too. that II Is in sense dscrimi-
natory because It would operate to giye
an undue preference to farm loan bonds
as against securities issued by States or
municipalities" He questions also the
constitutional right of Congress to pass
legislation affecting tho past as well n
the future financial contracts Of a politi-
cal subdivision OF q State. The letter
follows:
II take tho liberty Of calling your at
tention a. Mayor Of . municipality that
has borrowed or may expect to borrow
money hereafter on municipal bonds to
the provisions Of sections 213, clause 4,
and 21<, clause 2. of the revenue bill
now under consideration by Congress.
Even n these are constitutional
which I doubt. they will depreciate the
value Of securities issued by municipal.
tiles out OF all proportion to the gair
to the National Treasury. and will raise
the tax rate in every city In the country
unreasonably. Furthermore. II these
provisions should later on be declared
unconstitutional the cities would have
had to pay high money rates without the
National Treasury gaining thereby.
81 am asking the New York Senators
and Congressman to urge a revision Of
these provisions of the proposed revenue
bill as discriminatory and Of doubtful
| value.
THE comparatively small amount o.
additional tax that is expected thus tt
be raised for the Government could ver3
easily and much better be otherwiss
secured without inflicting a great and ir
reparable injury on the credit OF thu
municipalities of the nation.
II respectfully suggest, II you feel Al

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Stocks rallied in the last hour OF the
trading yesterday on the Consolidated
Exchange. and supported by a strong
and sustained demand practically made
up the heavy losses suffered in the ex-
tended liquidation Of the morning SEES
sion. Final prices showed only frac-
tional net losses. while several of tho
active issues scored small gains. The
closing tone of the market was strong.
Steel common was the leader in both the
decline. when values sold Off from to 3
points, and in the advance. This market
leader closed unchanged after a day OF
wide and irregular movement Minor
steels shared in the rally and closed sub
stantially above the low levels Of the
session. Anaconda was slightly higher
and Mexican Petroleum had a gain OF al
most a point. Baldwin Locomotive
which was In supply throughout the SEES
sion, suffering material losses, recovered
substantially, closing with fractional
loss.

Accumulation OF ST Paul and New

derstood to be for the same interests
The old story of a combination of the
st. Paul. Pennsylvania and New Haven
roads in transcontinental line was re-
vived to account for the persistent pur-
chases of the shares. Thomas Mckee &
Co. were the first to begin the accumuia-
ton OF New Haven many months age
when the shares were under 80, and al
that time they issued two circulars CIV
ing the reasons why the future of New
Haven was believed by them to warran,

chasers of the stock on a liberal scale

the shares arc being absorbed.

When Grizzly Met Mule

In trip over the Sierra Nevadas Californian
took with him not only his favorie horse but mule
named Billy, large lrongray mule of the pack
variety On the second day in the mountains the
owner tethered Billy to tree, allowing him about
twenty feet of range where there good feed and
then took seat fallen tree not far away to
lunch He had finished his meal and was half DOING.
when suddenly the mule reared and snorted loudly.
His owner sprang to his feet and looked about.
Not ten feet off stood huge grizzly bear,
evidently with designs the owner of the mule.
That individual rushed for the and made
good time in climbing it. He was safe for the tme
but how about Billy?
To his owners surprise, Billy dropped his head
after moment and resumed feeding. if oblivious
of the grizzly proximity. AS for the BEAR he stood
still for several minutes his eyes wondering from
the man in the tree to Billy. The mules composure
puzzled him.
By and by the grizzly started to make circuit
of the tree to which Billy was tethered. The bear
emitted series of deep growls; then opened his
great mouth and disclosed two of ugly teeth.
Slowly the great creature advanced upon the mule
Billy still continued to Craze. Nearer came the
grizzly. and still The mule stopped feeding
From his perch the Californian watched the scene
with breathless interest.
Finally the bear stopped, rose on his hind quar-
tiers. and prepared to strike. At that moment the
mule at whose stupidity his owner wondered, sprang
forward, and the grizzlys paws struck empty air.
Then the man in the tree saw gray form double
itself into ball and bound upward. 1t was the
mules turn! Out of that ball flew two ron-shod
hoofs, which shot back and forth with thump,
thump. against the body of the grizzly, which was
completely off it's guard.
He was hit all over-on his head on his shout
deron his side, his back, by those pile driving
hind feet He fell in direction, then in another,
seeming utterly incapable of getting away; and when
Billy stopped kicking life was gone from the bears
body The mule after resting bit quietly resumed
his feeding.-EAsT AND WEST.
