Bears Poor Mt Guess.
Professional Wall street counted
upon the heavy deficits anticipated
i'm so many of the 1891 industrial
earnings reports to undermine SEN
timent. at least temporarily. and
bring about liquidation In stocks.
The main test came with the publ
Corporation report. showing for De-
cenber the smallest monthly earn
ings in recent years. and the Mid
vale Steel report, with Its draft of
over five million dollars upon sur
plus as the result OF the years oper-
ationS.
When these disclosures failed to
produce the slightest effect, the stock
exchange made up its mind neces-
sarily that no other news. however
bad. which related to conditions
which were past. was likely to
frighten investors into selling.

surling the bill to go through-the
veterans have the chance to indicate
what form of compensation they pre-

much cash must be raised are very
largely guesswork. II may be that
in the end enough can be provided by
new taxes to obviate the necessity
Of a new security Offering. This hope
has been reflected in the bond mar
ket of the last few days to some
extent. AT least prices have stopped
going down and on the whole have
done better =
But the prevailing uncertainty, is
still manifested in the much smaller

FACTOR IN SALE.

NEW YORK. February 4.-Per-
sonality is the important element in
novelty goods selling, according. to
a feather importer. Second in i'm
portance is the one-price selling
policy. 1t is pointed out that dealers
in novelty or non-staple goods come
under the head of style forecasters
with the result that the average re-
taller buys such goods. not so much
on his own knowledge of the value Of
the goods, but on that of the selling
agent. And the point is. according

personality of the agent comes to
