declined "A to q points on moderate

so much affected by the foreign situa-
ton as they were by domestic develop
ments, such as the Federal Farm
Boards announcement that it intended
to adhere to its plan to sell 5000,000
bushels of wheat per month and the
fear that the Treasury might announce
financing plans over the holiday.
The corporation list was lower, but
not Importantly so. While there was
little inclination to push prices of rail-
roads and industrial bonds higher there
was an almost entire absence of liquida-
ton. Speculative carrier issues, such as
Erie SIS, Nickel Plate IS and Allegheny
SIS, and industrialS like McKesson &
Robbins SIPS, Dodge Bros. IS and Ma

lower. Utilities of the better grade

In the foreign department, japanese
bonds were about point below Fridays

exchange, following the renewal of Sino-
Japanese hostilities at Shanghai, brought
about the pressure.

fited from what has transpired in the
past Once again Hegel is right. We
learn from history that we learn moth
ing from history.
Measures to curb short selling were
adopted almost three and quarter CEN
turies ago They did not work and had
to be made more rigorous. 1t Is OF in
terest to recall that when rulings put
into effect by the Amsterdam Bourse at
the instance of legislators, who were
convinced that the continued down.
ward trend was the work Of few bear
spectators, did not accomplish the
hoped-for results, the government was
requested to levy tax upon short SELL
ing.
Prompted by the conviction that the
existing laws prohibiting short sales
could not be enforced a Dutch jurist,
Muys van Holys, recommended the levy
ing Of a tax on short sales. In study
written in 1857, wherein he sets forth
hts reasons for the enactment of such
law providing for the imposition of
levy on short sales, Mr.. van Holys
makes the following remarks:
Spectators for the decline operate
with large sums Of money and impair
rather seriously the credit standing OF
companies by spreading reports of an
unfavorable character. They delve into
the deepest state and business secrets
and do not hesitate to attack even the
government and excite the masses in
order to profit the more widows,
orphans and institutions are seriously
hurt by the speculatcrs la Baisse.
What should be done to cure this evil?'
The tax referred to above is the remedy
which Mr.. van Holys suggests.
Accused Of Self Interest.
It is of interest to observe the COM
ment made by contemporary of Mr..
van Holys early in 1888, which ran
as follows:
"If Nicolas Muys van Holys knew as
much about commerce, the backbone Of
the country's economic and financial
structure, and upon which Is based the
nations prosperity, as he does about
corpus juris he would not have pro-
posed new tax in addition to the
many which are already interfering
with the countrys trade and industry
1t is reliably reported that Muys
van Holys had confded to we'll known
broker on the floor that he had pub
lished his plan concerning the levying
of tax on short sales primarily for
the purpose of depressing prices and
reaping profits by the recession"
On January 81, 1889, the Law taxing
short sales was passed.
