The speculative attiude fs one of waiting and this disposition was iIntensified by the three-day holidey interval in prospect al the end of the week The narrowness of (he public Interest in the market was evifenced in numerous ways. Once or twice during the week there was Wquidation going on of what looked like large individual accounts In a few stucks. The rapld yielding of the prices of the securities thus affected indi- cated the iudifference of the demand which lud to be contended with. On the other hand, In the intervals of those liquidating cplsores, a very light demand was ef- fective In lifting prices rapidly, thus in- dicating the small floating supply of stocks in the market. Efforts to analyze the causes lying behind thess manifestations gavglarge importance to the extent of the operations by market pools and elaborative speculative organizations, which have fig- ured in the advance in prices for many months pas Avwakenin lie Interest. The objective point of these organized operations has been the awakened public demand for securities and the progress of the restoration of trade and Industry to the activity obtained before the panic of 1907, or even beyond that. Men of recog- nized judgment and authority in the finan- olal world have volced the conviction without reserve that the coming era of trado and industrial activity and accom- panying prosperity was to rise to new high levels. It has been common for such opin- jons to point ont the completion of the struggle over the revision of the tariff as fix(ig the Perjod of the springing into ani- mation of all sorts of enterprises held back for that event. The estimate acoepted for some time past in Wall street for the probable enactment of the new tariff law were for the first of June or thereabouts. The approach of that date with the de- bate on the tariff measure dragging out to an undefined future, leaves the specula- tion in & suspended state. Meantime there is a continuous flota- | stimu- | tlon of new securities Kolng on, lated by the abundance of banking forces left unemployed by the moderate require- ments, as yet, of the mercantile demands. Railroad and industrial corporations both figure in this new financing. Some of it glves rise to conjecture of plans to launch into nmew flelds of combination and con- solidation of industrial enterprises. public offering of stocks of the United Drygoods companies was made the text for discussion of such a likelthood.

These returns were striking, nevertheless.

C. €. George, now an active factor the upbullding of the City Is destined to become an officer whose time will be required largely in the in- terests of the bank. This will not, however, detract from the importance of George & Co. in real estate circles. A new location, not as yet se- lected, will be secured by the company, glving more room. At present, George & Co. have a lease on the rooms, but C.| W.

Now Want to Save Masauredis in Supreme Court Effort Will Be Made to Keep Greek Found' Guilty of Murder from Gallows. in A hard fight will be put up to save John | Masauredis’ neck from the noose. It will be waged before the supreme court, though, of course, a motion for & new trial will first be argued before Judge Sutton There is little or no likelihood that the | district court will sustain such & motion, but for the record's sake it will have to| be made. The chief point which will be argued to the supreme court is that the written | statement of Lilly Breese, made to the | county attorney, was inadmissible and also that the question put to her about her evidence before the coroner's jury was improper. The supreme court can do one of three things: Sustain the verdict as It stands; | refuse & new trial, and commute the sen- tence to life imprisonment; grant a new trial.

FOUNDATION RESTS ON CHRIST In Memorial Day Address to Union Carpenter's Son fs Credited with Urging Organization and Brotherly Help. Telling his hearers that he would not talk of the dead, but that he would talk to the living, Rev. Frederick T. Rouse, D. D, in the annual nemorial address delivered Ean- day afternoon to Typographical union No. 1%, pointed the advantages of unionism and declared that Jesus Christ, the Car- penter's Son, was the first exponent of or- ganization for labor. Dr. Rouse took hig text from Isiah, xIi, 6-7: “They helped evpry one his nelghbor, and ‘every one sald fo his brother, be of £ood courage. So the carpenter encpuraged the goldsmith, and h§ that smootheth with the hammer him thel smootheth the anvil, saying, it Is ready’ for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails that it should not be moved." #The general trend *dken by the minister I Ris discourse wad-that humanity s a great brotherhood, a great family, and that every member has a right to exist. He then went on to point out the wrongs in life, the hoarding of capital by “promoters,’ the bacillus of graft fostered by great cor- porations, the pirit of war between na- tions and the shattering of that bond of human sympathy which should exist be- tween all men “I belleve the time will come when we will see that for the necessities of man- kind, for public improvement and for the |improvement of mankind, that every man shall have work,” said Dr. Rouse. ‘‘Wealth |should not be hoarded here and public for the want of work. Graft Germ Must Die, reat corporations say there is no way to live but by graft, but graft is a great moral ehemy. What we need is a hyper- dermic injection of moral stamina to with- stand this microbe and to tell the corpora- |tions that honesty Is the best policy. Une |of the greatest voctories of modern medi- |cine was the erradication of the Yellow fever microbe and the driving of this dis- ease out of the tropics. So small are these yellow fever germs that forty of them can hang inside & mosquito's stomach and not crowd a bit, but Infinitely smaller s the bacillus of graft. “It is the duty of organized labor to fight this bacillus. It Is the duty of organizod labor to insist that there shall be no wur betwpgen natlons and between men. And that which we most need Is that element of human sympathy which will be broad enough to take In others not members of work neglected and men allowed to starve | | vears.

Led Indian is SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., May 30.—(Special.) ‘The guide rode often at the head of the column, and we found him full of infor- mation about the country. We began also to listen for a new domestic disclosure every time we approached an Indian vil- lage. He was the most married of any mun 1 ever saw, for in every tribe he had a wite.” This was the reference made by Mrs. EMzabeth Custer, widow of General George A.
