In several districts there were violent disorders, which indicated that professional agita- tors were again at work. At Creil, thirty-two miles north of Paris, barricades were formed with tele- graph poles. One of exceptional strength was built around a huge boiler surmounted by a red flag, and it required a large force of A despateh from Kiev, Russia, strys:---Prep1ier Stolypin was at- tacked an; seriously wounded dur- ing a, theatre performance here on Thursday night. His assailant was arrested. There was a, gala per- formance at the opera in the pres- ence of the Emperor of all the Rus- sians. Two revolver shots in rapid succession electrified the audience, and Premier Stolypin sank to the floor. Those who were near by saw Central Canada Railway to Build From Montreal to Ottawa. A despatch from Ottawa says: According to a, director of the Cen, tral Railway Company of Canada, the Railway Company, which is said to own over a million acres of land in the Ottawa Valley, and contemplates connecting Montreal and tho Georgian Bay by a, new line, work will be started on the Montreal-Ottawa section of their road this week, and forty miles of a track will have been graded be- fore the snow falls. The work will oommence at Hawkesbury and will so in two directions. Track-laying will not start until Spring, when the work will be pushed vigorously. Stolypin Was Seriously Wounded at a Theatre Performance. Good Yields Reported-Wheat Grades High. A despatch from Brandon, Man., says: Thrashing is well under way. Some excellent crop reports are coming in. Mr. John Clark, one of the big farmers in the Roseland district, finished thrashing on Tues- day night. From 119 acres in one field he has 3,317 bushels of fine No. 1 Northern, twenty-eight bush- els to the acre.

Charleville also was the scene of serious disturbances on Wednesday. Crowds of people from the country around, armed with pitchforks, attempted a regular in- vestment of the town. A regiment of dragoons, hastily summoned, charged down upon the manifest, ants, scattering them in all direc- tions.

There was tremendous excitement in the theatre, and in the excitement it is impossible to obtain the least de- tails at assassination. It is report- ed that Stolypin’s wounds are mor- tal. The Czar left St. Petersburg a few days ago, accompanied by Premier Stolypin, to review the statue of the Emperor Alexander II. at Kiev. It was the first public ap- pearance of the Czar outside of the capital in some years. Germany's New Dreadnought Dc- velops Phenomenal Speed.

In the ilrst of this series it was shown that "distribution of risk" is an import. ant principle ot investment. It is a very Mmple one, however, involving no very coniused ideas. There is answer prrin,ti pie to be borne in mind when making in- Vestments which is ot no less importance, b.at it is, however, considerably less ob- Wous.to those whose investment experi- ence is tsmall-and even to many who shqulri understand its actions thoroughly. This is the principle of investment "in accordance with actfui requirements.” The dividing line between speculation and investment is not always clear, and in discussing investing it is not tu1profit- able to digress somewhat to go into the field where “safety of principal" is held in small esteem in comparison with “prospect of appreciating in value"; and “rate of income" is a decidedly second‘ ary consideration. Ot course in general it is understood that one who buys mining stocks "specu- lates," and one who buys bonds "invests." But where one man buys high-class stocks outright as a. speculation it is hard to separate him from the investor, and for practical purposes he is such. When one buys a stock on “margin" it is customary to go to a. broker who takes the order and makes the purchase tor a small commission of a quarter of one per cent. on the par value. The broker, being a responsible person, as his possession ot a seat on the Toronto or Montreal Stock Exchanges, costing as they do some $20,000, would indicate, the client, as soon as he is notified that his stock has been bought pays the broker titteer1 or twenty per cent. of the market value of the stock. This 20 per cent. is the "margin." Sometimes it is allowed as low as 10 per cent, but "narrow" mar- gins are most dangerous. The broker takes the stock purchased to his bank--. let us say it is Toronto Street Railway of which he bought 100 tshares-and there makes a loan on it. The stock cost 1315.- 800, as the market in "Toronto Rails" at this writing stands at 158. The bank will loan 80 per cent. of this amount, or $12,640. The client's margin amounted to $3,160, so that the broker is not out of pocket. The broker has received $25 commission tor buying the stock, finding a bank to loan money thereon and be- ing responsible for the loan's repayment when demanded, for banks loan on se- curities "on call" only. This means that the loan must be repaid at once when asked for. As the loan is not very stable, being used for keeping active surplus bank funds not required for the moment, and may be called at any time, the bank generally charges a lower rate than that charged on general discounts. So the broker pays. at the present time, 51-2 per cent. and charges the client 6 per cent, the difference being considered a fair charge for looking after the loan, par ing the interest and handling the client's account. Speculation takes many forms. In general, however, it is done on "margin," unless mining shares are bought. The latter are subject to such violent changes in prices in the market that no broker who has any reputation worth consider- ing will buy them except for clients who are prepared to pay tor them outright. Now, supposing that while waiting for an advance in price the client has to hold his stock for a year. The interest will amount to $758.40, of which the bro. ker gets $63.20 for handling the loan dur. ing that time. And generally in tho course of a year the broker amply earns bis money; for the loan may require shifting a dozen times, when as many banks want it repaid. And sometimes loans are hard to make. The client re. rah-es. however, dividends on his put" chase at the rate of 8 per cent on the par viAurs-in the case of Toronto Rail- way-and so at the end of the year he has received $41.60 more than the ia.

BANK OF illilliffl% ROBBED A despatch from New Westmin- ster, B.C., says: Two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars was stolen early on Friday from the branch of the bank of Montreal in this city. Five burglars entered the bank by the front door, broke through the metal coating of the vault, blew open the safe by charg- es of nitro-glycerine, and got clear away with their booty without be- ing seen, except by a Chinese care- taker. They probably escaped down the Frazer River iru,a launch, or else by an automobile toward Vancouver. Actual figures of the losses were obtained in the after- noon from Manager G. D. Brymer, who has been in charge at New Westminster for twenty years. There were $338,000 in the bank, and of this $253,000 was taken. Of the amount taken $150,000 even were in five and ten dollar bills. These were all new, and the bank Bo that the client receives back his mar- gins and about $500 of profit. or course, in this example, the client was quite fortunate. He had only put up about 31 points on the market price of the stock which, however, might have de. clined that amount. But before it had gone down very tar the broker would have written a polite but firm note ask, ing for further margins, and the lower the price went the greater the amount of margin required. Finally. perhaps, the client would sell out at a substantial loss, as he could not raise further mar- gins. For. remember: this, in speculat- ing on margin, the margin does not lim. it the risk. Legally you own the stock and the broker only loans you the money to pay for it, and keeps the stock as security. The fact that he in turn bor- rows from the banks does not alter this fact. And so, if your stock should drop down to nothing in value you would have to stand the loss and the broker could Safe Crackers Blow Open Safe at New Westminster, B. O. terest charges.
