—THE LEADERS STILL HAVE
6T0CK8 FOR SALE.
SEW YORK. Dec. fi—For iome tlma
past It has been evident that the rise
la stocks had 1>een excessively pushed.
The big trading element, which now
carries a much larger share of float
Ing stocks than In generally suppos
ed, showed no disposition to enlarge
Itsscommitment* on the long side;
while the Investing and speculative
public profiting by past experience,
could not be Induced to absorb any
Important portion of the stocks offer
ed by the big holders, who have been
energetically lifting the market
since the panic. With this cessation of
home buying came free foreign sell
ing London openly encouraged real
ising upon American stocks, and
aervatlve foreign bankers have been
very explicit In their disapproval of
our stock market manipulations. To
their clients they freely expressed the
Opinion that the rise In this market
had been altogether too rapid and
Otit of all proportion to the Impro
mint' In business conditions on this
side of the Atlantic. In consequence
there has been a return of American
stocks end bonds at a considerable
profit to the foreign holders and
scAle not witnessed In many months.
happened that some of
lending bankers held similar opinions,
though possibly from different motives.
They hud no desire to see nnother
speculative debouch such as preceded
the collapse of 1907; because they
recognised that a second panic would
not only Indefinitely postpone
try. but might Invite a wider, deeper
•nd more lasting depression than the
first.
Lack Credit Hurt Roads.
Moreover, last year's violent de
rangement of credit had brought to
an abrupt standstill many of tho ex
tensive railroad Improvements render
ed Imperative by Inadequate transpor
tation facilities. For these Increased
facilities there was a most urgent de
mand. which could not ho satisfied
until the money market and the secur
ity market admitted of fresh capital
Issues which had been temporarily sus
pended. It Is well known that our
railroads mush now come into th** mar
ket with many Important Issues, which
could not be successfully floated In an
excited and dangerously high stock
market. All conservative forces.there
fore. were united In discouraging a
speculative furore, and It Is to bo
hoped they will succeed.
Urges Tsking of Profits.
Even many of the speculative lead
ers have wisely moderated their ef
forts to force prices to a higher level
at this time, recognizing $ hit It is
more prudent to wait until the present
level bus boon weil established or
until a further Improvement In con
ditions warrant still better prices. One
thing Is certain, there lire few. If any,
bargains In the New York stock mar
ket. and shrewd Investors who usual
ly begin to look «iround at this season
likely to pick bp many stocks
for their strong boxes at present prices,
bonds and some of the new Issues be
ing more likely to receive the prefer
ence as affording safer and more prof.
Itahfe returns on their money. The
difficulty of engineering a January rise,
which often starts In December, will
thus be greater than usual, and It
may be that some time will clnpso
before another prolonged bull move
ment can be successfully Inaugurated.
Meanwhile, we should advise the tak
f profits on all good rallies, for
the market leaders In spite of lessen
ed holdings still have stocks for salo
anil will no doubt keep up an appeaf-
of strength notwithstanding weak
ened technical conditions. This was
shown In the effort to advance second
class stocks as a cover for spiling lha
high priced Issues.
Monty Still Too Easy.
The money market, while (Inner. Is
still too easy to please Inrge lenders
who desire more profitable employ
ment for their surplus funds. The
prolonged ease In money was not en
tirely satisfactory. It Is one of the
usual sequences of panic and Indicates
ntinued Inactivity In torn# llpes of
finitely more appreciated In the future
than at present. The dose he admin
istered was n bitter one. but the pa
tient needed It The period for agi
tation, however. Is now over: air.
Roosevelt has done the work for
Which he was best fitted, and the work
of crystallizing an awakened public
oplhlon Into Intelligent and equitable
‘ fi regarding corporations
•e begun. It should be
left to the Judicious action of con-
groan. aided a« far as practicable by
the tactful Mr. Taft, who stands
pledged to the Roosevelt policies of
reform.
Tariff Main Issue.
The tariff, however, is sure to be
the main issue of the coming session
of congress; also of the special ses
sion which Mr. Taft will very likely
call. In all probability the tariff dis
cussion will be complicated by the
rapidly growing government deficit,
which If not checked will cause no
little embarrassment; for Qlther na
tional expenses must he checked or
further sources of revenue provided,
tho latter having suffered from butd-
nesg depression find the prohibition
campaign. Last year the government
reported a surplus of $84,000,000; this
year there Is a deficit of $58.000,000. a
loss of $142,000,000 In twelve months.
The tariff battle wdli chiefly center
the steel schedule, especially as 1
Carnegie hax said the steel duties
nre unnecessary and many American
manufacturers wish to buy their raw
materials In shape of steel In the
cheapest market. More or less hesi
tation Is sure to accompany tariff ag
Itatton. but the derangement to busi
ness will bo much less than on for
mer occasions, because many of
Industries arp much less dependent
upon ft tariff than formerly and there
are rnnny Industries that wouTd be
positively stimulated by gaining
cheaper raw materials and wider mar*
kets under adequate tariff revision.
In any case there Is no serious dls
turbance to business In sight at pres
eftt arising from new tariff legisla
tion. The business outlook Is slowly
but surely Improving and the main
difficulty with tho stoek market *"
that It has discounted such Impro
ment probably too far In advance,
hence It Is now trying to resist the
•natural reactionary tendencies. Fri
day's outburst of strength was one cf
those displays which may be expected
nt almost any time while the market

powerful manipulators.

Mr. Harper stood at the fountain
at the Taylor-Bayne drug store yes
terday morning, taking a drink of plain
water. Mr. Bob O'Neal saw him shiv-
ei*a little as if cold, and always look
ing out for the comfort of his pat
rons, ho turned off the Mg electric fan
that was running, and which was di
rectly over Mr. Harper. Just as he
turned the button to *hut off the cur
rent tho fan dropped. One of the pad
dles struck the hat Mr. Harper was
earing, cutting through and Inflicting
slight bruise on the left temple.
Had the entire fan fallen on him his
Injuries might have been serious. As
was, his hat saved him perhaps from

The motor of the fart fell upon the
onyx counter of the fountain, break
ing It ns well as the onyx railing, doing
damage to the amount of about throe
hundred dollars.
Mr. Harper's escape was tin exceed

which the large Iron bolt had been
screwed had decayed nod thus allow
