C., Albertaâ€"6. 84 10 200 Large Arena and Two Adjoining Houses Burned. | A despatch from Brantford, says ; â€"Brantford‘s Skating Arena on Waterloo street, the largest of its kind in western Ontario, caught fire at 7.15 on Thursday morning, and within ten minutes was a roaring mass of flames and smoke, the fire spreading to a dozen houses adâ€" joining, two of which were entirely destroyed and a half dozen others badly scorched. The firemen were for some time utterly unable to conâ€" trol the flames, which spread in four directions from the very hot blaze which the <+big wooden . structure made. In additton. two frame barns within the block also were deâ€" stroved. FEarlv renorts of the damâ€" ase place the loss at ©~ 090, parâ€" tially covered: by insurance BRANTFORD‘S RINK BURNED. A Satisfactory Test in West Oxâ€" ; ford. A despatch from Ingersoll, says ; â€"A highly satisfactory test with Hydroâ€"electric power was made on the farm of Mr. John Prouse, West Oxford, when a large number gathâ€" ered to witness the process of siloâ€" filling by the aid of the current. Among those in attendance was Hon. Adam Beck, Chairman of the Hyaroâ€"electric Commission, the Inâ€" gersoll Power & Light Commissionâ€" ers, and a number of representaâ€" tive farmers. Mr. Prouse has inâ€" stalled an equipment which is beâ€" ing operated by Niagara power, and which worked very satisfactorily in Friday‘s test. Mr. Prouse has had his.residence wired, as well as his barns and outâ€"buildings, even to. the milkâ€"house, probably being the first farmenr in western Ontario ‘toJ adopt the ‘"‘white coal"‘ for agriâ€"{ cucultural purposes.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS. A despatch from Madrid says: The Government, acting under the Royal decree of Tuesday suspendâ€" ing the constitutional guarantees because of revolutionary activity, has ordered the arrest of workingâ€" men‘s committees and political agiâ€" tators in the disturbed districts. Three hundred persons were imâ€" prisoned in this city on Wednesâ€" day night. Among those arrested here was Senor Largo Caballero, general counsel for and Viceâ€"Presiâ€" dent of the General Union of Laâ€" â€" Then, suppose Mr. Morgan and all others were not influencing the market, you have to judge how general condiâ€" tions, money markets in London, New York and France are going to affect things; what the crops will be; how inâ€" dustries are doing. You may judge corâ€" rectly to findâ€"as at presentâ€"France and Germany at each others throats, and the market collapsing through fear of the effects 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 lose are those who know what is going ouâ€"directors who take adâ€" vantage of advance knowledge, managers familiar with the businesses in which Strikes Are Spreading, and Numerous ArrestsHave Been Made. FHRKAT UPHEAYAL NN 8PA But even if you guess what one group of New York‘s financial giants want to do you may find you lose because anâ€" other and stronger group want to do the opposite, and the upper and nether millâ€"stones grind your margins out of your pocket until you give up in deâ€" spairâ€"perhaps to see that your judgâ€" ment is right and that had you had the ability to ‘"stay by the game" you might have won out. ‘"Yet," you say, ‘"Morgan and Rocke feller often make & million ‘dollar ‘clean up,‘ and why couldn‘t the small specuâ€" lator make a few dollars?" Unauestionâ€" ably, if the small speculator knew what Mr. Morgan was doing in the stock marâ€" ket he could make nfoney and "big" money, too. But that is the whole diffiâ€" culty. The game is to guess what Morâ€" gan, or some one else, is doingâ€"and your guess is as good as mino. Mr. Morgan is either going to put prices up or down â€"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 pea is under one of the shellsâ€"or between two of the operator‘s fingers. Quite recently, a New York broker careâ€" fully analyzed a large number of accounts on his books and 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. _ Now, unfortunately, many speculators find . that the old proverh, "Distance lends enchantment," equally applicable to speculation, and, therefore, dabble in the New York market. As a matter of acâ€" tual experience, in the long run it is quite as profitableâ€"and probably less expensiveâ€"to put your money on a horse race. You 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 busiâ€" ness before taking to the more modest but less nerveâ€"racking business of writâ€" ing and can speak with some authority. But, of course, the reader will not acâ€" cept such a bold statement without someâ€" good reasons being advanced. In the last issue we saw in what points speculation . differed from investments. The practical difference between investâ€" ment, it was seen, was largely one in chance of gain, whereas the investor al most always insists on great safety at the expenso of probability of largely inâ€" creased value of his holdings, the specuâ€" lator sacrifices everything to bis chance of profitâ€"or loss. â€" A Further Digresslon from the Subject of Pure Investment to Give Some Interestâ€" Ing Facts on Speculationâ€"The Best Adâ€" vice to Prospective Speculators is Don‘t.
