It happened when Percy Guard, a brother of William J. Guard, of the Metropolitan Opera House manage- ment, appeared with orders to sell several thousand shares. Mr. Guard’s entrance into the market was unex- | pected, and when a scramble for the stock ensued some of the crowd be- came excited. 4 Chester Gumperts took exception to something done by a broker known to his associates as ‘the Butcher Boy” and laid his fist alongside the latter’s ear according to the story told afterward. Whereupon *“‘the Butcher Boy,” a large man, hit Gumperts hard enough to draw blood and stir the general excitement con- siderably higher. Mr. Guard stepped discreetly to one side, declaring that business could wait. It did wait un- til William Gallegher, the Curb pa- cifist, conducted Gumperts to a near- by office and calmed him. Guard sold about 40,000 shares of Old Emma Leasing for cash from 67 to 75 cents a share, compared with a price of 50 cents a few days ago, and also disposed of 11,000 shares of Smma Copper from $3.25 to $3 thereby enabling some of the sho to get stock for which they had been bidding urgently. Guard id the stock sold was his own and denied | that George Graham Rice was letting DR. J. CLINTON HYDE.

The pep arrived as soon as she did. It took only a few hours for her to start something. She delivered an inflammatory speech to the wives and other women relatives of the striking car men, and they did the rest. A surface car was passing, and the wo- men attacked it with fury. “Mother” Jones is widely known for her activities in behalf of striking miners in various sections of the country. She declares that the na- tion was face to face with the ‘“great- est industrial revolution the world has ever seen.” GUNNERY SCHOOL CELEBRATES. Observes 100th Anniversary of Birth Of Founder.

The annual report of the New York-Clea ing House showed gros the year ending September 30 of 147 billions, an increase of 57 billions over last year. Conditions favor ued activity in the Industrial concern: such big profits rent quotations for many of them ap- pear still comparatively low. This is especially true of the steel com- panies’ stocks, which show profits ranging from 20 per cent. to 60 per cent. Many other industrials are also reporting very large gains in business, much of which is due to the prevailing high prices for all com- modities. The steel companies are overwhelmed with orders, some ex tending far into 1918. Railroads are placing liberal contracts for cars, lo- comotives and rails at high prices without hesitation. Our exports of steel in August again touched a high record. The acti and advance of dustrials which has long been spicuous is now extending to the rail- roads, which are aisplaying great strength in consequence of increased earnings. The remarkabl: annual re- port of Union Pacific showed largest earnings in its history, cluding income from investment over 15 per cent. on stock, against about 11 per cent. a vear ago. Still better evidence of railroad prosperity, however, was the August § now earning in- in- which gave net earnings of 126 lines at $82,000,000, compared with $65,- 000,000 & year ago. The nation’s gen- eral trade is active. War inflation is the chief stimulus. The extradrdinary demand for many commodities, the actual scarcity of others, the flood of gold, the Federal Reserve system and the abundance of credit which these last two factors provide are giving an tible upward impetus to values. New profits thus accrued naturally seek investment and stimulate enterprise. Speculation is highly ex- cited by such conditions, this being proved by daily observation appearance of many new operators from all parts of the country. Here and there may be symptoms of over- buyving and flotations able character; all of which that, in view of present high prices, purchases whether for investment or speculation, should be made with in- creasing discrimination, favoring the better grade securities which have not vet had their full rise.
