would have been cushioned.
OF course the break was due Z
none of these things. Wall Street
and the market is, of course, one Of
the most complicated things in the
world. But explanations of move
ments there suffer from being
over-complicated. The present
business is simple enough.
EIRST of all, stocks went very
Il low in 1888 and 1884. AS a re-
suit, a number of persons and
groups accumulated large blocks of
shares. In many cases these shares
were thrown upon their hands to
liquidate loans or other business
arrangements. Toward the end Of
1884 a large number of persons be-
gan accumlating shares because
they believed imitation of some
sort was ahead and shares were a
good thing to hold for a specula-
ton.
For the last year, this expecta-
ton of inflation-of moderate
sort-was welded in the public
mind with a kind of confused no.
ton that recovery was on the way.
1t looked that way. This was a
perfect setting in which those who
held large amounts of stock could
unload them.
The market therefore had had
support from various groups hold
ing shares they wished to distribute
1t Is obvious there have been no
such pools as we saw in 1888 during
the first Roosevelt market boom.
The manipulation has been milder
support rather than manipula-
tion-while the holders of shares
quietly and without too much haste
fed their holdings out to the public
THIS involved sales of many
l. shares which had gone to low
prices-favorites with amateur
speculative investors. Such sales
were largely for cash. So this
accounts for the low volume of
market credit.
There is good reason to believe
that this distribution has been
more or less affected. Certainly
1t is plain that support of the
market disappeared a few weeks
ago. There being no groups in
the Street to support shares. they
naturally collapsed on the first
sign of trouble.
This is borne out by the fact
that the heaviest declines were
not in the large market leaders
subject to public trading, but in
many little observed stocks. All
the declines of more than five
points on Monday were in shares
like American Chain. Amerada
Corp, Auburn Auto, Clark Equip
ment, Rubberoid Co., etc. An
exception was Case Corp. with
nine points decline.
This is a dangerous market for
anybody but the insider.

The mine, the famous Lost
Dutchlnan," was projected back
into the newspapers recently when
a New York brokers' clerk, pros
pecting in the forbidding crags
fell from a cliff and was injured
fatally.
The mine derived its name from
Jacob Walsz, the last man believed
TO have found it and taken its
rich ore. Walsz, who died virtu-
ally penniless, and whose unmark-
ed grave is in an old Phoenix
cemetery, confessed on his death
bed, according TO local legends
that he killed four rIen TO pre-
serve the secret of the mine.
George Holmes. of Phoenix, told
his father. the late r. j. Holmes,
that he was taken to the mine
by Aqua EscondidC, a distant rel
ative Of Don Pedro Peralta, the
original discoverer. Escondido had
a map showing the location Of the
deposit Cf almost virgin gold,
Walsz repeatedly told the elder
Holmes.
Three Sayings Reported
At the rline. the story contin-
ued, Walsz and Escondido found
three Mexicans working the rich
ore. They killed them to prevent
wcrd of the mines location leak
ing out and to keep from sharing
the secret with them.
Some time later, as Holmes told
the story to his son, WalSz killed
Escondido in order to keep the
rhine tC himself.
Later, and before WalsZ's death
here in 1892, two prospectors who
were believed to be closely on the
trail of the famous mine were
