New York, Dec. 26.—Town Topics;
We look for a trading market for the
next couple weeks or so, with a con
tinuation of liquidation for the time
being on tho part of weakened poola.
Until tho stronger interests feel per
fectly securtv concerning the money
outlook, no aggressive bull activities
can be expected. London Is feelins
the mpne.v pinch more seriously than
ever, and that market will be fortunate
If the Bank of England does not feel
compelled to follow the example of
Berlin’s institution In advancing Its
discount rate of 7 per cent.
Next month the annual report of the
Steel Corporation and the Amalga
mated Copper dividend action are look
ed forward to,an factor* of bullish In
fluence, but liquidation In these issues
Is probable for the defense of less
secure account*.

BLUFFING.

An’ ye hold a bobtalt flush an’ raise

you don’t give in—not yet.
But Jes' keep on a-ralsln' till the reet

Tou hold a thrill of pleasure aech aa

Life's (olden dream of glory when yer

We're all a-bluffln’ more or less fur big
or little stakes.
We keep a face that’s smilin' an’ con
real the heart that aches,
As we risk our time an’ money In the
hope of ease or fame.
You dasn't show you've weakened
when you start to play the game;
But now an’ then you miss It; It may
be a railroad deal
Or.some little hope you cherished that
goes wrong, an' then you feel
As sick an' sore ns If you’d Jes' been
