With tho coal strikes over and the
importance-though still smoldsr-
ing suficiently to contain a threat,
sentiment on Wall street is almost
unanimously and 1oyously bullish-
The dividend-paying rails are going
up because they have loads Of coal
and tons Of grain and merchandise
to carry; equipments are going up
equipment badly below par, must
needs be greatly improved and added
to: industrials are going up because
more Of a buying mood, and every
thing is improving.
This is a Wall street story and 1t
Is interesting. One wonders what
great piece Of news Wall street Is
discounting now? 1t has q habit of
always interesting.
One interesting feature of the
diagnosis Of undertone Is that 1t Is
unanimous.
Usually when anything is unani-
nous on Wall street the wise man
takes a chance on the other side Of
the fence
During the last week we have wit
messed considerable picking and
choosing. some delicate manipulation
and a unanimous disposition to nurse
the market along.
Traders taking profits have not
pressed their stun to sale. Every
time a little pressure was exerted
against a few stocks some other Spe-
cialties were taken in hand and given
an advance so as to maintain a
healthy appearance.

within the probabilities that the ad-
vancinE scale Of prices as mapped
out by the bulls will go through. but
the mad scramble for dividendpay-
ers has let up little. action in bonds
is not as lively and with each day
profits will look a little larger from
now on.
Just what minute the smashed shop
strike may quit its smoldering and
break out in new place Is matter
no one can tell.
Just at present Franco re-
lations are not blazing. and that's
about all that can be said, other than
that foreign conditions are otherwise
as unsatisfactory as ever.

Blind pool victims do not deserve
very much sympathy from their
friends, especially in Washington.

No banker in Washington ever recon-
mended blind pool operations on
the New York Stock Exchange, or
elsewhere.
The losers are not shouting their
losses from the housetops. but when
two in this city admit $2.500 loss 1t
is not going too far to estimate the
losses Of the city at large at some
where around $260.000. Any guess is
perforce wild.
When you buy or sell stocks

DEVELOPS FEARS
Buyers Hesitate to Place
Large 0rders-Copper
Quiet, But Steady.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 9.-The i'm
provement in the fuel situation has
caused steel buyers to hesitate about
placing large orders for forward de-
livery and the undertone of the mar
ket has been nervous. Production Is
producers are behind in their orders
prices are firmly held. and In some
cases have advanced.
Pig iron is very firm for immediate
delivery, but buyers hesitate about
booking ahead, as they expect re-
duction in fuel costs. More blast fur
naces are resuming.
Copper has been quiet but steady.
There has been a little more export
business and domestic consumption
has been sufficient to maintaif prices
have little metal to offer, and pro-
ducing interests are Influenced by a
firm statistical position and improv-
ed fuel and transportation conditions.
Production Is still somewhat restrict
ed by lack Of labor
Tin is slightly easier owing to
poor consuming demand. suggesting
a liberal increase in stocks at the
month end.
Lead has a firmer trend, but with
out higher prices. Demand comes
who anticipate broadening of con-
suming activity.
In zinc there has been a fair de-
mand for later deliveries, but traffic
conditions have affected shipments.
Producers are holding firmly.

suit Of tariff developments.

Build a little fence of trust
Around today;
Fill the place with loving work
And therein stay;
Look not between the sheltering bars
Upon tomorrow,
But take whatever comes to thee
Of joy or sorrow.

the service in Westminster Abbey were not only
members of the nobility but delegations from the
working classes in England. hidden by special re-
quest of King George The fact that Princess
Mary chose so-called commoner for her hus-
band struck responsive chord in English hearts
the world over. adding UNNECESSARILY to her popu-
larty. British royalty is rapidly absorbing demo-
cratic principles and democratic lines of thought.
largely through association with Americans of cul-
ture and refinement whose example has undoubted-
ly had an influence on public thought in the Brit
sh isles. But England has not yet even thought
of abandoning her monarchy for republican form
of government nor is such departure likely in
this generation. Britishers, the world over, love
their king and country with patriotism so intense
that it puzzles the average American to know
why it should be so. Which reminds US that we
Americans are too prone to go to the other ex-
treme

Yam Sims had all eyes turned on
him at Bounding Billows Saturday af-
terncon, and bids fair to yet be some
sort of public man. He had gather
ed up to hear the brass band play,
and while he was not noticing, he
stood too close and was accidently hit
by the bass drummer who was making
a fine run on his instrument. Yam i'm
mediately apologized to him, and no
hard feelings were engendered.
1t is now freely predicted that Little
Fidity Flinders will same day make

The winter days are flying. the tempests feebly
roar; so let's have done with signing, for spring
is at the door; the grass will soon Be springing,
the jazzbirds will be singing, and poets will be
singing their timbrels as of yore. When l was
young the winter had many joys to show, and like
locoed sprinter | cantered through the snow;
but now that l am older, with twinges in my
shoulder, and heart and feet grown colder, the
season seems all woe. Before the winters over
I'd give nine tons of snow, to scent the smell of
clover where vernal zephyrs blow; I'd swap all
sleets and slushes to see the nodding rushes
where yonder streamlet guahes in bright ecstatic
flow. All life seems vain and hollow when winter
chills the air; I'd rather chase a swallow than
ride polar bear / long to hear a sparrow
among the braes of Yarrow; yearn to toll a
harrow behind an old blind mare. And now the
spring is coming with healing in its wings, and
soon wen hear the humming OF hens and bees
and things; the SHOWS no more will cloy us, the
billiards won't annoy US, SO let US be as joyous
as hfty-seven kings.
