EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Lessons i'm w. & l.. f. Incident.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

There are a number of instructive
lessons in the recent excited specula-
ton in low -priced railroad stocks cul-
minating in the Wheeling & Lake Erie
incident.
II will be remembered that before
the announcement was made that two
large systems had acquired a control
ing interest in this road party OF
hardy bear spectators had sold the
stock short, basing their action on the
undeniable proposition that from an
asset and earnings standpoint it was
far too high But unfortunately for
them 50 many shares had been taken
ont of the market that the floating
supply was very small, and when they
lost courage and started to buy back
their stock they found there was al.
most none TO be had. 1t was then that
the stock, which had sold within the
preceding i've weeks at 2712, changed
hands at 1870.
AS long us that price remains the
record IL will be a means of mislead-
ing uniformed and inexperienced
spectators or perhaps even investors.
For there are a good many buyers of
stork who think 1t a guide TO the in
trinslc merit Of security to know its
price range. 1t is a common thing TO
have inquiries as to just what was the
high and the low Of particular stock
the idea being that ii a stock has once
sold at a certain price 1t is likely to
go there again. If it were worth 1870
once. why should It not be worth 1870
again. they ask.
The trouble is the tabulated record
of high and low prices gives no hint
as TO the circumstances under which
these records We're made. Wheeling s
Lake Erie stock would never have
sold where it did in the second week
Of Febniary If ii had not been for a
technical market position which had
no bearing upon its value. past, pres
ent or future. II it ever sells there
hereafter, or higher, it will be because
of some new condition, and no heIu
will be derived from the record of the
past as far as deciding whether or
not the stock should be bought or sold
in the future.
Similar instances, although not Sc
frequent, could be cited where an ex.
traordinary low price for "a stock haG

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.


In the encyclopedia of bunk, on
which the financial propaganda
draws heavily for his inspiration,
much appears about injustice to the
widow and the orphan. Every time
a IaWmaker seeks to wreak vengeance
on corporate entity. the defenders of
things as they are ciamor loudly
about the poor widows and orphans
who will suffer from unwarranted
punitive efforts
OF course, if well advised. widows
and orphans Will avoid speculative Sc
curities which are sensitive to the
eDb and flow of commerce and the in
fuence of politicians. Such inn
munity from the risks to which all
business is subject can be attained
only i'll a relative sense.
This discussion is intended only for
widows and orphans of comparatively
small means-not for orphans of the
immense resources of the late Lord
Leverhulme, who was the leading
British soap manufacturer, nor for
widows of the financial strength Of
the late Mrs. Russell Sage.
Compelled to live on the return
from relatively small reservoirs Of

NEW YORK, February 23.--The
cotton market opened steady today at
an advance of TO 10 points. Early
estimates placed the notices issued
against March contracts in the neigh
borhood of 10000 bales, but brokers
supposed to be operating for impor-
tant trade interests were ready buy
ers of March against sales of later
deliveries at about the recent differ
ences. This absorbed the near-month
offerings, while there was buying of
later months, promoted by reports of
flrmness in the Southern spot market
and the firm ruling of Liverpool over
the local holiday.
May sold up to 14.10 and October to
1854, or about 16 to 20 points net
higher, and the market held within
point or two of the best at the end
of the first hour.
A feature in Liverpool was the
larger volume of spot business, sales
of all growths of cotton there being
reported at $4,000 bales today.

KING CERTAIN HE

Utah Senator Puts Case Before High Commissioner Russell

Washington. March IS Hps-With President Borno apparently holding fhe trump cards and considering as trrevocable his refusal to permit Senator William H. King, of Utah. to enter Haiti, the senator still is hopeful Of obtaining permission 10 visit that country 10 study condi- lions.
 Now at San Juan, he proposes to reach Santo Domingo before docid- ing whether he will proceed to Haiti + President Borno still opposes his visit. He announced he had notified John II. Russell. American high commissioner to Haiti that he was sailing for Santo Domingo, adding;
 President Borno does what Rus Sell says. + Russell wants me to enter Haiti, Borno will say the word"
 President Borno informed the Associated Press correspondent at Port Au Prince that the decision of the Haitian government was iTreloc- able, while ii also was learned that orders have been issued 10 prevent the senator's entry into Haiti from the Dominican republic. While the state department knows nothing il can do, the Haitian legation in Washington has made clear that the ban applies only to King and 10 no other senators who have criticized President Borno's administration.
 The legation said that the Utah senator before departing from New York had telegraphed leaders of the opposition party of his proposed visit and, while the legation an nouncement went no further, 1t is believed by some that this incident more incensed President Borno than Kings criticism.
