Taking to Ones Self Sign
of Weak or Strong Intellect

Talking to ones self is generally
considered sign Of weak brain, said
a doctor recently, but nothing could
be greater mistake. 1t is sign OF
an extremely active brain. 1t may
be a strong or weak intellect. but
the activity must be there to cause this
peculiarly. If you will observe you
will be aston1shec how many people you
will meet on the street who are think
ing aloud The talking Is done I'M
consciously. Often the people addict
ed to the habit, If you called their at.
tention to it. would aver that they
never were guilty Of such thing.
Some Of the brightest men have ever
known do their thinking aloud without
knowing 1t, and, on the other hand.
some of the weakest individuals men,
tally, whom I have met in my prac-
tice. keep up continuous conversation
with themselves. So it would seem
that a man who talks to himself must
be one of two extremes-a wise man
or a fool.-Exchange.

It would be interesting indeed to
know what the state of the stock
market would be at the present time
were it not for the scanty supply of
money. The majority opinion is
that we would now be experiencing
a bull campaign of substantial pro-
portions, although, of course, this is
open to dispute. 1t is reasonably
certain, however, that the market
would be much more responsive to
the brilliant Allied successes in
France were there a sufficient sup
ply of funds available to finance
stock market operations on a large
scale. AS it is, stocks have done
surprisingly we'll, all things consid-
cred. Speculative interest, suddenly
revived few days ago, is slacken-
ing again, but prices are being we'll
maintained, and yesterday saw a
number of the market leaders es-
tablished at new high prices for the
year. Steel common was a notable
feature in this respect, crossing 116.
The character of the market is best
illustrated, perhaps, by the fact that
it has taken Steel nearly month to
advance 8 points to its present level,
the quotation on August / standing
at 107. During this period there
has been no broad speculation. On
the contrary, the market, aside
from one or two short-lived spurts,
has progressed quietly and slowly.
Competent observers hold that a
market of this kind is more condu-
Give to confidence than feverishly
active market.
There is food for thought in the
quick and heavy oversubscription of
the $15,000,0oo Lehigh Valley Rail-
road collateral trust per cent ten
year bonds. The issue was taken
inside of an hour yesterday after
the subscription books were opened.
The total subscriptions aggregated
close to $50,000,000. The success of
this offering demonstrates that, de-
spite the heavy government borrow
ing operations of recent months,
there still remains a large reservoir
of funds awaiting investment. An
issue offered on an attractive basis
brings out the money with rush,
as has been shown in the case of the
Lehigh offering and on the occasion
of recent sales of corporation notes
put out on a high interest basis.
The rate paid by the Lehigh Valley
in excess of 61A per cent for the
money borrowed is high, but it is
not out of line with general condi-
tions as they now exist in the in
vestment market.
