A Satisfactory Test in West 93 fo A despatoh from Ingersoll, says; highly satisfactory test with Haiigly power was made on the farm of Mr. John Prouse, West Oxford. when a large number gath- ered to witness the process of silo- filling by the aid of thé cutrent. Among those in attendance was Hon, Adam Beck, Chairman of the Hyaro-electric Commission, the In- gersoll Power & Light Commission- ers, and a number of rep tive farmers. Mr. Prouse has in- '| stalled an equipment which'is. be- ing operated by Niagara power, and which worked Tory satisfactorily in Friday's test. Mr. Pronse has had his residence vired, 2s well as his ngs, the milk-house, prob first farmer in w - otarn. 0 hE {adopt the hia i 1 euchltural Purposes. even SHOWING THAT ® PER CENT. SPECULATORS LOSE MONEY, pron A Further Digrassion from the Sublect of |, Pure. investment to Give Some Interest: - ing _Faots on Speculation--The Best Ad- vice to Prospective Speculators is Don't, (By Investor.) In the last issue we saw dn, what poluts speculation 'differed ' from investments. The practical difference' between invest ment, it was seen, was largely one in chance of gain, whereas the investor al: most always insista on great safety at the expense of probability of largely in- creased value of his holdings, the specu- lator sacrifices everything to his ohance of profit--or loss. Now, unfor tely, many sp find that the old proverb, "Distance lends enchantment," equally applicable to speculation, and, therefore, dabble in the New York market. As a matter of ac tual experience, in the long run it. is quite as profitable--and probably less expensive--to put your money on' a horse, race. Youn probably know something about horses. You can never know enough about the New York market to make it worth while. The writer bas been a number of years in the stock busi ness before taking' to the more modest but less nerve-racking business of writ. ing and can speak with some authority. But. of course, the reader will not ac- cept such a bold statement without some good reasons being advanced. Quite recently, a New York broker care fully analyzed a large number of accounts on his books aud discovered, much to his surprise, that eight out of every ten of his clients lost money; eighty: per cent: of speculators eventually lose, is what he learned. "Yet," you. say, "Morgan and Rocke feller often make a million dollar 'clefn up,' and why couldn't the small: speci lator make a few dollars?" TUnquestion- ably, if the small speculator knew what Mr. "Morgan was doing in the stock mar ket he could make money and "big" money, too." But that is' the whole diff: 'culty. The game is to : pdx 'what' Mor §an, or some one. your guess 1s af good 'as --. organ is either going to put prices og or; down --or he is leaving them to the will of natural conditions. There is the old shell game of the country fair to the life.' The pes is under one of the shelle--or between two of the operator's fingers. But even if yon guess what obe group of New York's financial lants want to do you may. find you lose, bepause an: other and stronger group want. to do the. opposite, a the upper and nether mill-stones grin "your "margins out ot' your 'pocket until you give up in de. spair--perhaps to see that your judg: went is right sud that had you had the ability to "stay by'the game" you might have won out. | So Then; suppose Mr. Morgan and "all others were not iufluencing the market, you 'have to judge 'how general condi- 'tions, 'money markets in. London, New York 'and France are going to affect things; what the 'crops will be; how in. dustries are doing. You may judge cor rectly to find--as at present--France and Germany at each others throats, and the oll Through fear of 'the efteots on business of a war. | Verily 80 per cent. of losers is surprisingly low; and remember: of the 20 per cent. of those who don't Jose are those who know | what, is Boing ov~directors who take od and by far the most important, YOU ARE ON 'THE SPOT. You ean, if casion demands, go to-the office of the companies 1n whose shares you wish to. speculate and find out for yoursslf, per haps, what the prospects are. Or your broker may know from first 'hand infor. mation. In short, your chances are bet ter. But in speculating, this should . be borpe in mind. Bemember that the smal. .- ler the margin the greater the risk.. A two per cent. margin is only accepted by "bucket-shops" who can only make money if you lose. Legitimate brokers will not o busi on a less than ten point mar gin, and very few even at that. Twenty points is fairly safe, but only within the past few months, one popular Canadian stock. hag dropped 12 points, and CO. P. R. over 25. Therefore, when you speculate do s0 on a substantial margin and be prepared to back up ycur first margin with more; otherwise, although your judgment may be correct in the long run, you may never have #& chance to give it a fair test--you may. be forced to sell on some unexpected drop due to eon. ditions which no one could foresee, and" whose 'effect would be merely temporary. However, the best advice 'to those whe are thinking of - speculating is this: "Don't," emi I ees $32,%0 REWARD, OFFERED. Discovery of Bank 1 Looters Will En rich Some Ono.
