Many Topekans Attended Big August
Gathering Mt Catholic College.

in progress at st. Mary's for eleven

but of exercises. The retreatant must

memory, his imagination, his reason,
his will, his emotions are set to work,
real work. according to a method and
for a certain definite result. He
studies his own immortality, his crea-
ton, the Fatherhood of God, the right
use of things, the wrong use of things.
death, hell, judgment, Heaven He
studies the place of Christ in the
world, the place of Christ in his own
life, the teaching of Christ with regard
to government, manhood, womanhood,
labor. wealth, marriage, family,
church, pain, the brotherhood of man,
etc. t--
From the retreat the retreatant gets
rest for body and mind. congenial
company, a habit of thinking, self
control, fighting courage, peace of
conscience, calm vision of two worlds,
converse with our Father"
Many men followed the exercises of
these retreats this summer and in the
fourth of these retreats, which was
held from August 16 to Is inclusive,

There was slight decrease in the de-
mand for paint materials during the
week just elapsed as a result OF the
coal strike. The market, however, is
still in strong position with consumers
and small retailers showing an active
desire to secure supplies.
Strength Of the botanical drug mar
ket was one Of the topics in the trade
yesterday, although no important ad-
vances were announced. Trading was
active in many lines and consumers
are entering the market for goods which
have been allowed to run low.
The market for teas In the wholesale
trade displays no startling changes. De-
mand is not urgent and from all ac
counts the country seems to be fairly
well supplied for the time being.
The trade continues to hold back on
canned vegetables and there is little
activity in new pack vegetables, the
volume of business being greatly below
that of normal times at this season of
the year.
The diamond imports into the United
States this year will be twice as much
in stated value as in any preceding
year of our import trade.

CLOSING MARKET WITHOUT
ANY SETTLED TENDENCY
Trading Vas Confined Wholly TO the Professional Element
and Wds Void of Significance

furnish positive evidence OF the cul
umination of the lioudating movement.
To the contrary, there are many rea
sons for believing that Wall street has
not yet succeeded in getting it's house
in order.
All unbiased and fair minded OBJ
servers must admit the artificial char
acter of the current market. They
must likewise admit the recovery move
ment witnessed this week was not
justified by any change in the financial
situation. As mater of fact, the for =
ward movement was accomplished dia :
metrically In OPPOSITION to all news and
developments. In other words the
trend was influenced and governed
solely and absolutely by technical,
rather than by oustide conditions.
Such phenomena, however, are com
mon in the aftermath of all great mar
ket swings, more especially when these
movements reach in violence and stu
pendous proportions such as witnessed
in the recent speculative orgy, which
was only arrested by the strong arm
methods employed by the Federal Re
serve Board and the banking interests.
In other words, there was created dur
ing the sweeping rcactionary movement
an unwieldy short interest, which in
dimensions was all out of proportion
to the extent of the liquidation ac-
cOmpanying the bursting of the specu-
lative bubble.
Automatically and by the natural in.
fluence of every existing law of supply
and demand this overeytended short in
terest was forced to cover, and in re-
ducing these commitments prices were
naturally forced up. In some quar-
ters, in the case Of closely held pool
and Clique issues, the rebound was
little short of violent, if not on the
sensational order. In the elimination
of the rounding up of this same short
interest the technical position of the
market was correspondingly weakened.
In other words. one of the strongest
props was removed and which, in a
measure, left the position of the mar
ket more or less vulnerable to develop
ments of adverse character.
So it might be said in brief the
test of the real position of the mar
ket is still to come. Deprived of the
support hitherto furnished by the over
extended short interest, it must now
stand on its own bottom. Just what
it will do can only be conjecture.
Nevertheless. it will undoubtedly be
found the wiser course for all inter
ested to keep sails closely reefed and
hug the shore closely in order to be
in position to beat n hasty retreat to
q safe harbor in the event of unex-
pected squalls.

New York, Dec. 6.--Today's closing
stock market was n traders affair pure
and simple, and should be Judged ac-
cordingly. The operations during the
brief session were largely made up OF
the familiar week end evening up OF
the professional contingent. AS n re-
suit the market was virtually without
settled tendency. There was the
usual backing and filing process, but
outside of few of the pool specialties
fluctuations were narrow and meaning
less.
The failure to continue the vigorous
rally started in the late trading yes
terday on the seemingly better outlook
of the Mexican situation invited mod e
crate pressure from the reactionary
party. While there was n general con =
cession in the initial quotations the re
cessions were not followed up by fresh
selling. nor did these raids dislodge
much stock. This influenced a quick
shifting of position on the part of the
more timid shorts and covering brought
partial recovery of the early losses.
With the rallies the trading became
dull aud narrow, rejecting Il waiting
disposition, as there was noticeable
reluctance to extend or make new com
mitments over Sunday in the fear OF
adverse developments over the week
end.
Another selling movement. however.
occurred in the final dealings on the
announcement of the embargo placed by
director general of railroads on oil
shipments east of Chicago, in order to
avoid unnecessary transportation and
to conserve the fuel supply.
Considerable diversity of opinion
exists as TO the immediate probable
course of the market. A number OF
competent judges are Of the belief little
Of Importance will be done until after
the turn of the year. 1t is the judg-
ment of others; lower level Of values
must be established before the normal
equilibrium of the market can be fully
restored Either may be right or
wrong. 1t all depends upon actual
conditions. This means whether the
liquidation has been completed, or
whether the adjustment of the credit
situation has reached stage to insure
stability of The money market, which
after all is said and done is undeniably
the governing factor.
Some authorities assert the market
is So per cent liQuiGated. indicating the
complete elimination of the weaker
speculative element, and cleaning out
of the so called shoe string margin
contingent. Unquestionably this asser
tion is correct, being fully confirmed by
the weeks recovery from the mid No
