The bank statement last Saturday 
showing a very small excess reserve 
at a time of year when money for 
erop-moving is becoming necessary 
cast a temporary chill over the mar- 
ket. The bears tried to make use 
of this as an argument for lower 
prices but with very little success. 
They were able to depress the mar- 
ket but failed to bring out stock on 
which to cover their contracts. It 
is becoming increasingly evident that 
real owners of stocks refuse to be 
seared by any political news or by 
prospects of high money. Probably 
the fact that scarcity of money is 
not due to over-speculation but is 
merely a proof of unusual business 
activity and prosperity has much 
to do with their attitude. All lines 
of husbandry and industry are mak- 
ing wonderful showings and the tide 
is not yet at its highest. Orders al- 
ready booked by the mills of this 
country are sufficient to keep them 
running full for five months and 
new business is coming in in increas- 
ing volume in spite of the higher 
prices forced by the competing de- 
mand for early deliveries. 
In the face of such conditions no 
wonder political conditions are ig- 
nored. Politicians as a rule are not 
men who would cut their own throats 
for the sake of an opinion. They 
advocate the policies that will get 
the votes and in view of present 
prosperity would hesitate to actual-

ly jeopardize it by destructive legis- 
lation. They preach high-sounding 
nostrums but actually do very little, 
for the cry that a politician fears 
most is the ery of the empty dinner- 
pail. 
Even Wilson does not expect to 
see complete free trade during the 
present generation and advocates 
eutting the dog’s tail off by inches. 
So why worry about tariff reduc- 
tions which at the worst can only 
begin to be operative in two years. 
The activity in the copper stocks 
continues with New York much more 
enthusiastic than Boston. In fact 
the local market lacking leadership 
is merely following New York. It is 
a new experience for Boston not to 
be the whole show in a copper boom, 
but the large investments in the 
porphyries and the listing of many 
issues in New York has shifted the 
market away from Boston and local 
interests and trades are only just be- 
ginning to realize this. Up to now 
they have been sceptical of the move- 
ment in coppers because it did not 
originate according to precedent in 
the time-hallowed halls of the Bos- 
ton Stock Exchange. Increased divi- 
dends are beginning to show that 
estimated earnings are not mere 
stage money and a buying movement 
is beginning to develop. So far cop- 
pers have not discounted 15 cent 
metal but we are confident they will 
very shortly do so.

Joseph L. Nelson, room-clerk at 
The Oceanside Hotel, Magnolia, New 
England’s largest summer hostelry, 
was one of the guests of honor at 
the meeting of Tyrean Blue Lodge, 
A. F. & A. M. of Gloucester, Tues- 
day evening. A special entertain- 
HELP THE BLIND TO

ment, followed by a banquet, had 
been arranged and, before the even- 
ing was over, three candidates had 
been initiated into the third degree. 
Tyrean Lodge is one of the oldest in 
this country. Paul Revere was one 
of its charter members and Col. Jo- 
seph Warren, who fell at Bunker Hill 
was its first master.

Gnat Wins Again 
Six boats were out Saturday for 
the race of the Manchester Yacht 
club one-design class. The Kiowa got 
the best of the start, the order being 
Minx, Gnat, Bluegrass, Clarise and 
Shad. It was a beat out to weather 
mark and the boats split tacks, the 
Minx, Kiowa and Bluegrass going 
over on the Baker’s Island tack and 
the others taking a long seaward 
tack. The Gnat gradually worked 
up to first place and finished with 
a lead of almost two minutes on the 
Minx. The summary:

‘‘The Quaker Girl’’ at the Colonial 
Fresh from its all 
year run in 
New York, ‘‘The Quaker Girl,’’ 
daintiest of musical comedies, has 
settled down for a long stay at the 
Colonial Theatre, Boston, and has 
taken the city by storm with its 
hiting melodies and fresh untainted 
comedy. Headed by Ina Claire and 
Percival Knight the big organiza- 
tion of 100 singers opened the Col- 
onial’s season Labor Day evening 
and was welcomed by an audience 
which packed the theatre and since 
then there has not been a single per- 
formance that has not been sold out. 
All Boston is whistling and hum- 
ming the eatehy, dreamy ‘*‘Come To 
The Ball?’ waltz and is enthusing 
over the fresh beauty of Ina Claire 
The Quaker Girl who was last sea- 
son’s ‘‘find’’ in musical comedy and 
is conceded to be the legitimate suc- 
cessor to Edna May, having all the 
demure charm and elflike grace of 
that famous artist. Seldom have 
the Boston eritics been so unanimous 
in their praise of a musical play and 
the fact that seats are already on 
sale for the next eight weeks and 
going fast insures a long and _ suec- 
cessful engagement for the newest 
musical comedy triumph.
