IAD RUSH FOR FORTUNES
The Unprecedented Speculative Movement
in Wall Street Continues,
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS BROKEN
rremendons Activity In Special Stocks ?
Brokers, "Swamped" by Orders, Have
to Refuse Business?Something Abou*
the Boom and the Immense Fortunei
Now Being Made lu Wall Street.
New York City. - The Stock Exchange
had another day of record
smashing on Tuesday. Recorded transactions
ran up to the enormous total
of over 3,200.000 shares?to be exact,
? - tun*, enn iwi
B,-70,Sol?wnicn is more mau uw.ww
shares greater than the record established
on the day previous, and almost
1,000,000 shares greater than the record
previous to that.
The clerical forces of the Street are
demoralized, the Clearing House is
having all-night sessions, banking and
brokerage firms have had to seek
larger quarters, and mechanical contrivances
are at length the last resort
of the board room of the big bourse
adopted by the over-strained brokers
to keep up with the orders of a frenzied
and stock-mad public.
Wall Street is one big vortex in
which the speculative interests of a
country whose people have recently
been handling more money than was
their wont are seething and eddying in
a style the hardiest financial veteran
cannot explain, and that casts every
ordinary maxim to the winds. The
orders come from all over the civilized
world, some of the big firms buying
on account of Russia, France and
Germany. Canada felt the contagion
thpre was considerable buying for
men who live in Ontario and Montreal.
One of the significant features of
the market, which perhaps was not
caught by the outsiders during the
tremendous business, was the fact that
the bankers put up the rate of interest
to six per cent. It has ruled between
three and four per cent. It was whispered
that 6ome of the great bankers
have grown wary, thinking that the
market has passed all sanity, and propose,
if they can, to repress the fever.
The brokers cannot complain that
the public is not in the market. Interest
in stock speculation to-day Is probably
more widespread than it has ever
been before. For months there has
been more or less of a short interest in
the market and the powerful manipulation
aided by the public, has driven
the bears to grief not once, but many
times. As usual there was an absence
of news to account for the fluctuations.
The question arises: Who Is making
all the money in Wall Street to-day?
The reply seems to be that every one,
pretty much throughout the country
la participating in Wall Street's prosperity.
; ever before has speculation
In stocks appealed to so many persons.
Men are speculating in Wall Street
who live as far west as Denver, San
Francisco and Seattle. They arrange

receive them at periodic Intervals during
the day. Then again, Chicago,
with its many important commission
houses, tapping by wire the numerous
rich and populous cities of the middle
[West, is doing an enormous business.
Of course in the enormous growth
which has resulted in giving Wall
Street the unique position that it en|oys
as in some respects the first
money market of the world, the Stock
Exchange has perfected one of the
finest monopolies in the world. While
Wall Street does not possess the farreaching
lines of Lombard Street
througnout the world, it is acknowledged
to be the money market leader
in that it possesses wealth in the
form of more gold than any other
monetary centre.
This growth is reflected on the Stock
Exchange by a dazzling increase of
business without any corresponding
increase of membership. The Stock

as It has for years. A recent proposition
to increase the membership forty
was adversely decided. Memberships
have advanced in a year from $35,000
to $75,000, and if the present business
is maintained tney will soon be quoted
at $100,000. To say that Stock Exchange
members are growing rich is
putting it mildly. They are growing
wealthy so fast that they have to refuse
business. Many young men under
thirty-five years are earning money
at the rate of $25,000 to $100,000 a
year.
The great boom brings Into sharp relief
the commercial genius of many
men. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan stands
out as the leader of American finance.
A man would be blind, however, who
shut his eyes to the great money-mak

manent residents of this city. They
have startled conservative Wall Street
with the force of their constructive capacity.
and are destined to be prominent
figures in Wall Street in the year
to come.
Volumes could be written of recent
events. A great many speculators
have been sadly deceived by the securities
market, and the conservative
Wall Street man is practically speechless
by the stock market results as
measured by prices. Ask him what he
thinks of the market and the speculative
public, and he will most likely tell
you that he has quit thinking about it.

JURY ACQUITS CALLAHAN
Says He Had No Part in the Kidnaping
of Young Cudahy.
Court Rebukes the Jnry For Its Action-*
Chief Uonohue Says Case Against
Crowe Is Weakened.
Omaha, Neb.?After considering over
night the guilt or Innocence of Jamea
Callahan, the jury announced that he
was not guilty of complicity in the
kidnaping of Edward Cudahy, Jr. The
verdict was an evident surprise to the
Court, and Judge Baker expressed his
disgust in emphatic terms.
Callahan was arrested on two other
counts, which the State is not now
prepared to say will be made use of,
as no new evidence Is at hand, and the
expense of going over the ground
An Mn
10 vuuoiuciai/ic.
The jury notified Judge Baker at 9
o'clock a. m. that It had settled upon a
verdict, and the news spread among
attorneys and interested persons, so
that an audience of fifty awaited the
twelve men as they filed into the courtroom.
Callahan's face was a blank as he
watched tlie verdict unfolded and read.
As the words "Not guilty" were pronounced,
however, Callahan half rose
to his feet, his lips parted in a smile,
and be turned his eyes gratefully toward
the jury.
Judge Baker studied the wording of
the verdict for several minutes in silence,
as if he doubted the evidence of
his ears. Then, addressing the jury,
he rebuked them in most vigorous
terms.
"If Callahan had made his own
choice of a jury," the Court said, "he
lould not have selected twelve men
who would have served him more
faithfully. If the State for its part
had made the selection, I know of no
men it could have named who could
have been less careful of its interests.
The jury is discharged without the
compliments of the Court, and the
prisoner is likewise turned loose as to
this trial, I presume to continue the
criminal practices in which you have
failed to check him. I do not know
what motive actuated you in reaching
this decision, but I hope none of you
will ever appear again in this jury
box."
The jury evidently was ill at ease
during this arraignment but did not
make any response, and filed rapidly
from the box as soon as it was at liberty.
In the hallway Callahan mumbled
his thanks and shook the jurymen's
hands.
Chief of Police Donohue says he
will urge Mr. Cudahy to at once withdraw
the proffered reward of $5000 for
the apprehension of Pat Crowe.
"Crowe might easily make an appearance
and claim the reward himself,"
said Chief Donohue, "as the evidence
against him is no more direct
than that against Callahan. In my
eighteen years of experience with
criminals I have never heard more absolutely
convincing evidence than that
presented against Callahan. There
was not a single flaw In the testimony,
and the evidence of guilt was overwhelming.
"From the information I 'have secured
as to the sentiment of the jury,
I believe that its decision was based
largely on the theory that the victim
of the affair was a wealthy man, and
as such is able to suffer. Two of the
jurors, I am informed, expressed their
opinion that no kidnaping had occurred,
and they had taken their oath
as jurors with this conviction in their
minds.
"The $50,000 offered for the conviction
of the three men concerned in the
crime, however, will stand."

who was deposed on August 31,
1870, on grounds of ill-health and mental
incapacity.
The committee proceeds, in part, as
follows:
"The deposed Snltan is undergoing a
martyrdom in prison in Tehiragan
more cruel than the sufferings of the
victim of Devil's Island. He was imprisoned
on the pretext of madness.
He has not seen a human face, except
that of his jailer, for twenty-five
years, nor a letter, a newspaper or
book. He is not allowed to leave his
rooms, and thus is buried in a living
grave."
The committee urges that, if he is
really deranged, he should be treated
scientifically.

has been accomplished by the purchase

on the purchase money has been paid.
The officials of the Leyland Line confirmed
the report of the sale. It is understood
that the shareholders will receive
?14 10s. for each ten-pound share.
It is learned that the purchase of the
Leyland Line is tantamount to its consolidation
with the Atlantic Transport
Line. For the present the Leyland
Line will retain its name and be under
the same management, though changes
in the directorate are likely to occur
shortly.
