" Tho rush to sell t ho so-called " I'lowet "stocks, es soon iih tt wns known that Mr I'lnwcr lind Li died, nnd the methods adopted to check it, II- 77 & lustrnto the curious way in which tho minds of Of H stock speculators work, nnd tlio motlvo", by J MB which they nro Governed. In this case, tho ((mP panic-stricken sellers must hao hupimisciI 1 cither that Mr. 1'lower's holdings would sud denly bo offered for salo In n block. In conse - """ quenco of his death, as was the case, threo )cnrsni!o, with Mr. Austin Corblu's Long Island llftllrond stock. or that tho prices they had ) previously commanded had been purely tho t result of his persounl mnnlpuliition and must, i therefore, trlve way because, his Nustnlnlnu hmd was withdrawn, Whlchovor supposition was the dominant factor In tholr conduct great , credit Is Klvcu to em tain stock oporators nnd ' heads of flnnnclal Institutions for liav- Inc arrested the declluo In pi ices, and of havlnc "supported" thn market by their j X purchases. One. larco opeintoi Is said to hno 't ' employed linlf-a-do.-nn brokers to buy nil tho ff toeks that were offered of tho class especially U,' attneked, nnd his efforts were followed by an B', n'nnouncoment in thn newspapers that n niim- B, brof Icadlnir bankers nnd bank oflleers bad H'i met and nitrecd to lend for the ratrnj purposo Hi, n'.l thu hionuy that should be ueoded. By tlioso H means coulldeueo was rebtoied, tlio ftiuliU'iiad H7 holders of stocks wcio reassured, nnd piices H went back, not entirely to tholr former le el. Hi! but sufficiently nonr It to be comfortable. I., The financial leaders who thus Intervened to nrcrt tho crah that seemed to bo Impendinc are very cnnornlly lauded a publlo benefac , tors, nnd, if they had been unsuccessful In Tja, their efforts, thno who defeated thorn T? would have been rcKarded ns public enemies, not only by thoo who would have lost moi.ey r by tholr operations, but by nearly tlio entire community. Tho conviction that hleh prices for ovory kind of property nro n sign of pros perity nnd that low prices nro the reverse, nnd a calamity to bo nerted by every means possi ble, 1ms trained so firm a hold upon men's minds that no nruument can overthrow It. Jfoarly every trader makes his ll Itm by selllnc the Roods ho buys for more than ho ulvcs for them, and, therefore, wants prices to udvnnco; working men nnd women nro constantly strlk lnc for hlKhor wauus, nltliouicli they know that hlchor wnires all round lead InoWtnhly to a hlchercost of tho products of labor, and consonucntly to n lessened mirchaslm: power of tho money received for wnces: and. threo yenrB aco, wo saw nearly half tho voters of tho country voting for thn silver standard purely on tho ground that prices reckoned according to that standnid would bo higher than they nro under tho gold standard. It Is useless to point outtosuchpooplo that tho agriculturist who cots moro In this way for his wheat nnd his cotton, also pays moro for his sugar, tea. coffee, shoes, clothing, and ovory othor necessary of life, and that tho worker for wages, when prices nro high, prnctlcally gets less of every thing tho agriculturist produces. Tho bubblo i of high prices floats before their eyes and they can boo nothing clso. In tho stock market, this predilection for high pricos ts strengthened by tho fact that tlio great n majority of operators buy to sell again, and ., N therotoro whllo ariso In prices affords thorn a profit a fall causes thorn to suffer a loss. To 4 satisfy thorn, prices must always go up and never go down. Even tho suggestion of a pos sibility of a fall is disagreeable to them, and tho men who. In tho newspapers or elsewhere, give utterance to ltaro unpopular with them. If they hnd lived in tho time, of Noah they would havo scouted his warning of the Im pending flood ns "boar" talk, and would linvn preferred to llston to tho cheerful optimist, who after tho windows of Heaven had opened and tho rain had begun to fall, Insisted that there was not going to bo much of n shower. Furthermore, it tho buyers of stocks whon Mr. Flower's doath wns announced had been Investors looking solely to getting as much vnluons posslblo for their money, thoy would have lot prices drop ns far as tho sellers would permit them to go. If. too, tho sellers bad ownod tho stocks outright and held them morely for tho Incoino thoy yielded thoy could not have been frightened by tho s.imo ovent Into soiling them for less than they thought they wore worth. Thus, the pricos llxod by tho transactions botween sellers and buvors would not havo gono much below nor much above a reasonable level: a panic would havo boon Im possible, and no effort would havo been re- qulrod to prevent one. It was because so many holders of stocks woro In debt for the money with which thoy bought them, nnd so many f lenders had lent tho money with which they worn bought neither tho ono nor the other hnvlng any fixed conlldonco in the stability of the prices thus mndo that the panic started, and that special moasuies oro needed to ar rest Its progress. It nover senilis to occur to the multltudo who applaud as disinterested benevolence thlsar tlflclal supporting of the stock maiket whon it is throatoned wlthn panic, that tlio uuderljlng motive of giving tho support Is to enable tlio holdors of stocks ultimately to get from buyers higher prices than they otherwlso would. Tho magnates of tho Stock hxchnugo nront present notoriously loaded with Iminensn amounts of things which thoy bought a fovv months ago at much lowor prices than nro now quoted for them, nnd which thoy deslrn to hell ns hoon ns they can to purchasers who will take them and I J lay thoin away as permanent Investments. So M Mi fat as thoy huve mndo thuir purchnsos wisely, K f t,icy ar0 cn'lt,l!l1 ,r tho profit which they will H W get from thorn. They had the sagacity to H7 forosoo tho improved piost-nt conditions nnd H futuro prospects of business which now pro- Bj vail, nnd they deserve to rent) thn reward of acting upon It. Nevertheless, when they ere. ato by artificial menus thn appearance of a de mand for tholr stocks which does not exist, - and obstruct n supply f I oiu nthernoiiices which but for their manipulation would counteract tlio effect of that demand, they praetlco nde. coptlon very llko that of employing b -bidders ' l at an auction or cnppois In a liorso trade. ( Nor do tho means uied to suppoit tin stock ati-ft market when a panic Is threatened differ In pC' prlnclplo from those used In bnli.ilf of mnv Issues H and am of an equally dubious mora! character. H Take, ns nu illustration, tho $7.".(00,000 of W& i Amalgamated ('opii'i stock which was recently ollered for Aubherli tlon hi till-, city nt par. For H a week before the subcilption closed thn bid H for tho stock "when Issued" was reported on t every hand to bo 140, and many unsuspecting B porsons. in dcllnnecot tho dictates of common H t-ense. put in their applications for Intgn M amounts of it, thinking th.it thny were suro to I sell it at n largo ndvatiiv 'I'lieeonseiiuence J w was that when the subscription w.iscli -ed thn H applications foi the f'. Ti.ih ti.tJOo oiTcied B liiuountod to II. "Mil ii l.i ii ii i, upon which the B allotments were but Is er cent. Hern H wns apparently a demand for moro than live times tho quaiitlty of the stock to I e hnd. Bk nnd. yet, whon the siun-.'.fu.i idlattoes at- BW tempted to sell theirallutmnuts the purelinsuis S woro so few that some of them wercobligul to HI accept If.) for stock for which they hadohll- Hj gated thomselves to pay par The stock has flt t-inco ndv.iuceil P a Mttle above i.ir, but no- H . body bilevei that the advance is due to any- HJf, thing but buying by the oiiglnul promoters of W' lb thn scheme, who thin "support" the market, V 'f sad prevent tho stock from falling ton heavy H ' 1 discount. What It is really worth on itb dlv ldend- im HiHr "' - ... . .,;jjr paying merits Is a different matter. It mar provo to bo another bonanta, llko Standard Oil Trust shares, whloh, fourteen years ago, wre selling nt 00 and now command nonrty COO, or. ngaln, it mny be like National Cordago stock, the promotors of whloh ruined themsolrrsla "supporting" it at 75 and which Is now worth less than nothing. Tho interost which officers of banks, trust companies, llfolnsuranco companies nnd othor great money londors have In supporting the stock market nnd protecting it against panics is, up to a certain limit. Idontlcnl with that of thoownorsof tho stocks. It Is notorious that of the loans of tho flnnnolnl Institutions located In Wall street and Its neighborhood moro than ono-hair, or nearly $3lK),0X,000 altogether, nre made upon tho pledge of stocks dealt In nt tho Htock Exchange or In tho Street. Thoso Institutions nre. In turn, debtors to their de positors, who havo tho right to call for payment of tholr deposits on domain!, or st short notice. A widespread nlnrm resulting fiom n panic In Mocks hns a tendoncy, first, to reduce tlio mar gin of snfoty of tho loans secured by them, nnd, next, to create a necessity for calling In tholr loans to moot the demands of depositors. This compels forced sales by the ownors of tho stocks pledged, nnd so tho process goos on until the panic exhausts ltsolf. In this nspect. Indeed, the checking nt a panic In tho stock market nt Its beginning ts a wlso proccodlng. Thn measures taken for tho l urposo aio required for the protection pot only of borrowers upon stocks but of tholr creditors, nnd. when tho oondltlons favorable ton panlo In stocks provall ns they did In lWKt In all other business, for tho protection of the wholn country. Nevertheless, tho disinter ested obsorver cannot help asking why our great llnanclers perpetually keep thomselves in the peril of such n catastrophe, nnd why the) need tie so constantly on tho alert to pre ent it. The answer can tie only that they find It, In tho long run, pecuniarily profitable. Tho Interest thoy iccolvo on their loans and tho gains thcymnko by buying new securities ut low pricos nnd selling them nt a largo advance, exceed tho losses thoy occasionally sutler by pnnics and by bad bargains, just as tho ownors of the gaming establishment nt Monto Carlo tnko In from Its patrons vastly moro money thnn they pay thorn, nnd nro thus ablo to divide Immense sums among themselves.
