THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC: MONDAY. MARCH 14, 1904. i LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR STOCKS, 'Apathy in Wall Street Reaches a Point of Almost Utter Stagnation. PUBLIC STILL HOLDS ALOOF.

Content to Let the Company Promoters and Corporation Administrators Work Out Their Own Salvation. HKPDBUC SPECIAL. New Tork. March 13. Dullness as a.

topic for consideration Is not entertaining, but when apathy reaches a point in here It becomes historical, reference to It becomes necossary. Such a stage was reached In the stock market of the week, particularly on Thursday, with Its meaner total of sales, falling under 71.000 shares. Wall street, has seen dull days and Intervals of stagnation before thl. but when taking Into consideration tho countrj's material prepress. Its Increase In wealth and the almost appalling multiplication of capital Issues in recent jears.

the record of stock sales on Thursday stands unquestionably for the dullest day that the Stock Exchange has known since New York became one of the world's great markets. It is surely unnecessary at this time to traverse tho events of the last few 3 ears and catalogue the Incidents of that wonderful period of prosperity and material dovelopment which has since rendered an entlro community suspicious. Tha prosperity was genuine, the material development actual and real, and much of it still remains. In time this will be fully and completely demonstrated. Just as it has ever been in the past.

SURVIVAL OF THE LEGITIMATE. What Is beneficial will survive; what is bad will go. The new capital poured out on old properties, when economically and wisely expended, will be a benefit, and when, scattered with spendthrift hand will prove a detriment, forcing dividend curtailment and interest default. The new corporations, honestly capitalized and wisely administered, will pull through, the swindlers and the semis in-dlers will go. and with tnem will go fortunes and reputation, honor and poer.

It is quite apparent to even a casual observer that tha community nati been standing aside, permitting the company promoters and the corporation admin.stra-tors to work out their own salvation. It Is splendid commentary upon the common sense of the public that they hold aloof, both from the speculative and Investment market. It is a recognition upon their pan. that every dollar of new capital on tna old properties, every dollar of new capitalization In the. new industrials has got to be tented by time or adversity.

DON'T LIKE THEIIt OWN WAKES. This is possibly an unfair list of property. No doctor likes to take his own medicine, a chef grows weary of the dishes he prepares and possibly the manufacturers of stocks and bonds clog of their own securities. These are really made to sell, not to buy and keep. Still, tnc public is Imitative, and.

finding both In dull business and pm.es. tnat tne men who know about wjcuriues decline to take more of them, even while painting tnelr earnings and luture prospects lu glowing foiurs, will buy none at a.1. It is penecuy logical on the public's part, pel haps the community argues that tnese men are waiting for tne sull greater bargains. We, too. will waitT AssureJJj Wall street has right to complain of the loss of public connaence, if it shews by its own actions that it.

too, has lost confidence in Its own wares. More likely, however, tho true explanation is that the financial interests are loaded to the guards with unsalable shares and can not buy more at tnls time. This wouid be another indication of over-posslble argument of why a shrewd purchaser should wait. He may be offered better bargains. SPECIFIC INSTANCES OF "INDIAN" OUTRAGES.

Continued From I'ngc One. Delmar and Taylor polling place graphically yesterday, and characterized these events as the most dastardly he had ever witnessed. K. 1CAVAIA.L'GH ivrnvEssEs oltraces. "Three times I was within hailing distance of the voting booth." he said, "when the 'Indians' would make a rush, break the line, and all would have to seek new places.

Their whole plan of ac-' Uon seemed to be to delay the honest voters. It seemed as if it was conceded that there were enough of the right sort of votes cast, and the only object in view was to see that none of the Folk voters got a chance. Expressions of dls-guest at the doings of thugs was taken as a sure sign that the person was against them and he was immediately slated for lemoval from the line. "Finally, I got into the polling place. I was shoved In with two men whose actions, prior thereto, left no doubt in my mind but hat they were 'Indians A few moments later they were ordered out.

A Judge said that one had been inside three times before and the other hid been inside four times. They raised an argument which stopped the ballot-casting for some time. It seemed that everything was being done to waste time and keep down the vote. "I stood in line neai S. Bent Russell.

1 guess we witnessed a dozen assaults upon unoffending citizens. In every instance the police refused to notice any thing that was going on. "A party of about thirty toughs were doing all the mischief. They would make rushes on the line of oters, after the style of college football plavers. Once the whole line of voters was sent sprawling by these thugs, and when the line was formed again the attacking party held all the choice positions.

"These positions were alwajs traded to persons who were said to be 'all Several times when men were shoved In line. In front of me I called the attention of the policemen. 'Oh, that's all right, Mr. the fellow said; 'but I didn't see I told hlrn that I had seen It, and-I called upon several men to prove It, bur he laughed, and that Is all the satisfaction that could be gotten. "I saw John C.

Dozens, It seemed, were -trying to hit him at once. They swarmed around him like bees and pushed him off toward the alley, away from the police, who Invariably turned their backs whan trouble was brewing.

"I saw a young man struck In the face. He retaliated, and was set upon by ten or twelve men. He ran and was followed. Thev caught him; knocked him to the ground and began kicking him. Residents In the vicinity raised windows and cried out to the man's assailants to desist.

It was terrible." Mr. Kaanaugh sas he has been a Democratic voter In St. Louis for twenty-five years. He said he would not vote the Democratic ticket again. Doctor Bruce Carson of No.

4379 Westminster place went to the polls Saturday, stayed several hours and then returned hom disgusted. "I got in line, he said, "at 3 o'clock. I noticed several friends ahead. When I got near the door I saw- several pulled out of lino and many rushed Into their places. I then held a position behind several "Indians.

'Twice I was pushed from my feet, and each time I found myself getting further back In the line. A big fellow, who seemed to know the potlce, was conducting things. I heard him giving orders to several persons who appeared to bo his lieutenants. 'Hold the he said several times. The policeman heard him.

but paid no attention. I think I would know the policeman again If I saw him. I remained until almost 8 o'clock, when I concluded that it was useless to try to vote, and returned home. "During the time I stood In line I saw-many assaults upon inoffensive persons. I saw a leaden shot "billy' flourished in the air, and saw a man trjlng his best to use It upon another person Charles McDermott, a builder, living at No.

O'Meara," he said. "I feel that the way the primaries were conducted has done the party irreparable injury.

Though Saturday had been an anxious one for political leaders, they did not re3t much jesterday. At the Southern Hotel, both Folk and Hawes conferred with friends In the afternoon. Mr. Folk departed last night for Lancaster, In Schuy ler County. Primaries will be held in Mississippi, Schuyler and Carter counties Saturday.

Folk will have for his opponent In Schuyler County, Mayor Reed of Kansas City Hawes will have tho task of beating Folk In the other two counties, according to the programme which is said to have been arranged The refusal of Mayor Reed to permit his name to be put upon the ballot In Mississippi County has aroused a great deal of Interest among politicians. Friends of Folk offered to pay the expense of getting his name there, but he wired to the county chairman to keep It off. The refusal of the opposition to Folk to enter the field together where primaries are held Is becoming one of the Issues of the campaign. It said that both Heed and Hawes will make the fight in Dunklin County, where township meetings win be held. This done.

Issues can be'pooled in the County Convention. Congressman Vanalver arrived i e3terday morning Irom Howell County and registered at the Southern Hotel, in the afternoon Circuit Attorney Folk called with his brother. R. Folk.

Mr. Perccbois says that ten Chinese exhibitors who landed at San Trnnclsco from the steamer China -it about th same time were not so fortunate, being detained by the authorities at the port. They have not yet arrived, and no word his ben received from them or about them by the members of the commission in St. Louis.
