Recent Stock Market Depression Be.

[Associated rressi
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—Operations in
the stock market today were conducted
with an eye to technical conditions of
the speculation rather than with a view
to more , substantial considerations
bearing- on intrinsic values or earning
power.
The extent to which the recovery has
run and the rapidity with which it has
been accomplished plainly had an Influx
ence in Inducing some doubts and hesi
tation in the pursuit of the upward
movement.
The reactionary tendency of Reading
was of special influence In that direc
tion, owing to the leading part that
stock has played in the upward move
ment.
The absence of news developments
and the lack of confirmation of other
rumors which helped Its advance gave
encouragement to the supposition that
the necessities of an uncovered short
interest were playing an Important part
in the strength shown by the stock.
Suspicion was aroused, for that reason,
that running in of uncovered shorts
was the purpose of the aggressive bid
ding up of prices.
Additional information corroborated
the opinion that improvement was tak
ing place over the conditions dreaded in
the recent stock market depression.
The cheerful tone of the mercantile re
views voiced a conviction that fears of
a severe trade recession were ground
less.
The easing of the discount rate In
London, in spite of further shipments
of gold from there to South America,
gave promise of ease of the New York
money market, although further outgo
of gold from here also to South Amer
ica is looked for. The sharp drop in
the cotton market today has a bearing
on the International exchange possibly
owing to the large sales to Liverpool
Which are reported.
_ The nonexistence of the expected cash
gain in the bank statement and the
expansion of the loan account in the
actual showing combined to cause a
sharp inroad on the surplus reserve of
the banks. The weak closing of the
stock market may have been due to a
premonition of this showing.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value, $1,612,000.

THE BISHOP WAS GAME
", The bishop had what In the west is
called a "Pacific slope," for he had
not seen his feet for a goodly num
ber of years, which, while it gave his
words a weighty meaning, had some
drawbacks in other respects.
After a church service one evening
the bishop managed to get to the
homo of a good old sister where he
was to be entertained, but not reach
ing the place without a good deal of
puffing. Some time was spent in con
versation about the meeting, which
was followed by family grayer, after
which the bishop made his way up
one flight of stairs to his bedcham
ber.
Now the event here portrayed hap
pened at a time when bedsprings were
not in fashion, no not even "slats,"
but the. bedding was held up by the
use of rope'about "washllne" size.
When the bishop finally let himself
drop into his resting place the rope
gave way and down came his corpu
lent highness with a thud that shook
the house. The frightened sister hur
ried upstairs and .tapping on the door
of the bishop's bedroom anxiously
cried: "Bishop, Bishop, is anything
the matter?"
The bishop, Instead of being ex
cited, lay deep down in the center of
the bed, unable to move, but quiet as
a smiling babe, with fingers clasped
over his "Pacific slope" and twirling
his thumbs, calmly remarked: "No,
sister, nothing's the matter, but if you
don't find me here in the morning
please look for me in the cellar."Na

OFFICIAL HYPNOTIZER
Compulsory hypnotism must be
adopted. The divorce habit is increas
ing rapidly in the country. The decay
of fidelity in marriage, friendship, busi
ness or service Is one of the main fea
tures of the quick-change age In Eng
land, says London Truth. To suppress
smallpox the state compels the mem
bers of the community to be vacci
nated; misconduct can alone be pre
vented by compulsory hypnotism. The
Individual conscience is ceasing to be
effective; it must be replaced by the
state conscience. .
The authorities must compel the in
fant to be hypnotized, and, when under
the hypnotic Influence, the child should
be commanded to be obedient, respect
ful, truthful, honest and affectionate.
On attaining manhood or womanhood
the boy or girl must again be hypno
tized and ordered to be virtuous and
honorable. The official hypnotlzer shall
attend every wedding, and, having
hypnotized the respective brides and
bridegrooms, will order them to be
faithful, patient, unselfish and atten
tive. In the case of the wife will be
added the command to be discreet, sub
missive, industrious and economical.
