works, O Nature !—Tig “LIFeC Wz. Our Financial Column M°nEY was needed last week in many quarters. On the whole, however, money was conservative and still showed that characteristic aversion to democracy for which it has now become famous all over the world. A number of department stores report sales at many of their counters and some of these sales ran up into the dollars and cents. This is much better than it has been in other weeks. A specially healthy demand is reported for remnants, ravellings and rubbish. The lowering of the mercury is also claimed to have resulted in a raising of the demand for wash underclothing. Be that as it may, the Bank of England is reported to have been examined on Monday by a duly-authenticated crowd of Cook’s tourists who report, in a wireless cable- gram to Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, that the Bank of Eng- land from turret (if any) to foundation stone, is steady and, if possible, is breathing (metaphorically) with greater freedom than heretofore. This is expected to have a quieting effect upon the Daughters of the American Revo- lution at their next annual meeting. Thus does the Bank of England once more prove that it is not only the gang- lionic center of the vaso-motor system of the financial physique, but that it is none the less the magnetic pole by which the financial pilots steer their timid craft upon the treacherous sea of proletarian unrest. However that may be, there is no doubt but that we have managed to pull through another week without know- ing much more than we did the week before. This, of course, makes writing a review of this kind very difficult, but it has to be done, because the average reader would hardly know whether to buy ice or coal with the money he had saved for a yacht, unless his favorite periodical told him just exactly how everything was getting along in the opinion of some particular writer. But in spite of all that, the future can be reliably de- pended upon to furnish many surprises of the most un- expected, not to say unlooked for, character. These, of course, will have their joint and several effect upon the commitments to which we are already, or may hereafter become, committed. It is doubtful, however, whether this effect will ever be known in its complete entirety. “SAY, BILLIE, GIMME A RITE 0” YER CANDY, WILL YER?” “NAW, I Won't!
