Little Talks by
Beatr rice Fdirtdc

few days ago John c. Wegner,
head of the Municipal Employment Blu
reau of Paterson. y. j.. announced that
he had been commissioned by lone
some widower with nine children" to
find wife for him.
This bit of news was very widely
copied in the daily papers, and at last
accounts three women were sitting in
Mr.. Wegner's office anXiously awaiting
the advent of the ready-made family
that was expected to call en- masse.
The picture of three ladies' sitting
in the Municipal Employment Bureau.

widower," is more suggestive of the
prehistoric days of The Judgment Of
Paris" and the ensuing Trojan war
than Twentieth Century America,
where the L. S. Senate decided. week
or so ago, that all women should be
given equal political rights.
A school teacher once told me that
girl children could be depended upon
to remember the origin of the Trojan
war better than boy pupils. Girls al
ways seem to feel that a war fought
over the good looks of three women
and the destinations of a fourth, was
essentially girls war.
The amazing part. of it is that hu-
man nature goes on reproducing it,
self apparently on the same old model.
In the earliest dawn of creation, so
long ago that it is impossible to dis
ertangle the real from the legendary.

The Same Mystical Number
Eons and cons of time pass, and we
still have the same mystical number
of women sitting in Mr.. Wegner's mu-
nicipal office, awaiting the arrival OF
a widower to make choice.
Shall we always have a few women
of this type, women who are willing to
accept the hazards of matrimony with
an unknown man-not to mention the
nine children-rather than face the
more modern method of taking chances
with a job?
No. in spite of the apparent parallel
beteween the beautiful shepherd Paris.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The steel Middle.

Tho hopes. wishes and prayers OF the
side OF Wall Street came
true yesterday. The disagreement In
over steel prices. with dis
agreement over coal prices as a side
line, between the Railroad Administra-
ton officials and those Of the Industrial
Board. coming out OF a clear sky, set
the market agog with selling orders.
1t did what the professionals have been
unable to do--stopped the flood of heavy
buying from the general public until the
cloud OF dust lowering over the situa-
ton should settle and had the immediate
effect of driving steel down "a. In the
afternoon Marine preferred went down
the same pathway on reports that the
Government. would not purchase the
corporal ships. These new factors,
particularly the price disagreement at
Washington, stood out most prominently
in the way Of market news, No one can
say to what extent 1t will go, whether
or not In the entire throwing out of the
steel and other schedules which have
been laboriously fixed. If these prices
20 overheard 1t Is recognized that the
Industrial Board goes with them. Steel
men exhibited a tendency yesterday to
sit tight and see what the rumpus brings
forth. One Of them said II was certain
that they would take no further orders
from anybody other than their court OF
ast resort-the President.

The ProfeasionnI View.

Here, according TO the view OF ono
large Wall Street house. Is the way the
professional is figuring the present
market: THE market has been churned
in close vicinity TO the top prices for two
weeks. Steel common has been traded
in to the 'xtent OF over $4,000 uhares
since 1t frat struck par and most of that
trading has been done in two point
range between 81 and So" He has seen
no good buying in Steel on the fioor of
the exchange since March 26. when it
sold under 81. and on tho other hand
he saw no good selling. until yesterday.
above 90. This was because big In
terests were not in the market, except
to support It on sharp breaks and to sell
It on sharp rallies. and while he Is con-
sclotn of the fact that running In OF
shorts may cause rallies to previous high
points of resistance he, has little faith In
the ability of the buying that he has
seen TO bring about any sustained rally
He Is afraid to get into the market on
the long side, no matter how bullish he
may be on the sixty day trend, because
he does not wish to take the risk OF
carrying stocks down Ave or six points

The Marine Deal.

That transaction which will be handed
down In Wall Street history as "the
Marine DEAF has nothing on the i'm
mortal Flnnegan when 1t comes TO being
on again, or again. Also II is getting
trife stale and there has been sharp
criticism In the financial district of the
manner in which news of the deal had
been handled. Every time 1t has gone
on again or Off again 1t has been used
as lever in forcing the stock UP or
down. 1t has been done so many times
too, that the blush Of innocence which
adorned 1t at the first telling Is COM
mencing to bear evidences of being sus-
tained by cosmetics. On every wide
move. as Is always brought about by
an announcement of the Marine officials
on this subject. the market shows I'M
mistakable evidences of great activity
from circles reported to he on the in
side. And they are always right, never
wrong. and consequently Marines gyra-
tions. have yielded these interests-who-
eyer they may be-snug fortunes. at the
expense of investors in the stock who
have not the advantage of feed box

OIL Wells and Salt Water.

Holders of shares of companies inter-
ested in the Mexican field are anxious
70 have settled. in their own minds at
least, just what percentage OF salt water
flows from the Mexican wells along with
the oil. Some Of the oil stocks, based
on Mexican properties. were considerably
weakened again yesterday by reports
that one of the gushers is flowing is per
cent. salt water. This was at once de-
MED by officials of the company. who de-
clared that the percentage of salt water
in the oil was very small. less than =
per cent. Tho officials added that salt
water. in traces, flows from all Mexican
oil wells. It Is argued that this may
point TO the possibility that the Mexican
field after all is exhaustible. 1t Is well
known that salt water lies below the oil
pools in the Mexican field and that It
furnishes the pressure which causes the
gusher in that district Whether or not
the presence of salt water in increasing
quantities would indicate exhaustion in
the pool Is an immediate question TO
many of the companies operating across
the Gulf OF Mexico.
