In several districts there were violent disorders, which indicat<'d that professional agita- t-jrs were again at work. At Creil, thirtf two miles nurtii of Paris, barricades were formed with tele- grajih poles. One of exceptional Btrength was built around a iiuge boiler siirinounte<l by a red ila>;, and it reijn.red a large force of troops to storm it successfully. lu the engagements large numbers ou both sides were injured. The streets of Creil are jiatroUed by soldiers. Charleville also was the jvcene of serious disturbances ou Wednesday.

A <!o.spalc!i from Kiev, Russia, say- : Premier Stolypin was at- ta<ke<| and seriously wounded dur- ing a theatre ficrforniancc here on Thur.sday night. His assailant was arrcHtetl. There was a gala per furmance at tlie opera in the ))re8- enoe of the Kniperor of all tlie lius- siatis. Two re\ol\er ?!iots in rapid Biiccession <!lectrified the audience, â-  n<l Premier Stolyi)iii sank to the fh'or. Those who were near by saw that he was gravely hurt. There was tremendous excitement in the theatre, and in the e.\citemcnt it is impossible to obtain the least dc- lails at assassination. It is report- eil that Ktolypin's wotinds are mor tal. The Czar left St. Petersburg a few days ago, accompanied by Premier Stolypin, to review the stattie of the Knijieror .Mexaiuler II. at Kiev. It was the first public ap- pearance of the Czar outside of the capital in some years. COrNTRV PEODUC'E. Beans Small lots of hand-pieked, $2.30 per buihel.

(By •'luvestor') In the first of this series it was shown that "distribution uf rl^k is an iuiport- ant pniiciplo of inve»tment. It It, a very Biujplu one, however, iuvoiviug no very conIu.'*ed ideas. There is aucier princi- ple to be borne iu mind when inukiug in- vcslmeuts which is o( no less imporlaiicc, but it Is, however, considerably less ob- vious to those whose luvcstmeut eiperj- eute IS small - and cveu to many who bhould understand its acUons thoroughly. This IS thu principle of laveslment ' lu accordaucu with actful rcijuiremeuts. ' The dividing line between speculation and investment is not always clear, and iu diseussing investing it is not unprollt- uble to digre.*s somewhat to go iuto tho fleld where ' pafcty of principal" is held iu small esteem iu comparison with "prospect of apprei-iatiug in value"; and "rate of income ' is a decidedly second- ary consideration. Of coursu in general it is understood that one who buys mining stocks "specu- lates," and one who buys bonds "invests." But where one mau buys high-class stocks outright as a speculation it is hard lo separate him from the investor, and for practical purposes he is such. Speculation takes many forms. In general, however, it is done ou "margin," uuleas mining shares arc bought. Tho latter are subject to sych violent changes in prices iu tho market that no broker who has any reputation worth con.sider- iug will buy them except for clients who are prepared to iiay for them outright. When one buys a stock on "margin" it is eustoninry to go to a broker who takes the order and makes the purchase for a small commission of a quarter of one per cent, on tho par value. The broker, being a responsible person, as his possession of a scat on the Toronto or .Montreal Sti.x-k l-'.\eluinges, costing as they do some $20,000. would indicate, the client, as sonn as he is notified that his stuck has been bought pays the broker fifteen or twent.v per cent, of the market valiir of the stiH-k. This 20 per cent, is tho "margin." Sometimes it is allowed as low as 10 per cent, but "narrow" mar- gins are most dangerous. Thu broker takes the slock purchased to his bank- let us say it In Toronto Street llailway of which he bought 100 shares and there makes a loan on it. The stock cost 815,- 800, as the market iu "Toronto Kails' at this writing stands at 168. Tho bank will loan 80 per cent, of this amount, or $12,640. The ellcuVs margin amounted to $3,160. BO that the broker is not out of pocket. The broker has received $25 coraniiiislon for buying the Bto<-k. finding a bank to loan money thereon and be- ing responsible for the loan's repayment when denuiiKleil. for banks loan ou se- curities "on cull" only This means that tho loan must be re .aid 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 al any time, the bank generally charges a lower rate than that charged on general discounts. So tho broker pays, at the present time, 51-2 per cent, and charges the elieut 6 per rent., the dilTerence being considered a fair charge for looking after the loan, pay- ing tho Interest and handling the client's account. Now. supposing that while waiting for an advance In price the client has to hold his Block for a year. The inleresi will amount to $758 40. of which the bro. kcr gets $63.20 for handling the loan dur- ing that time. And generally in the course of a year the broker ainpl.v earns bis money; liu- the loan ma.y require !>h< fling a doten times, when a:i many b-jnks want it repaid. And poinetirae-i loans are hard to make, Tho ilienl re. cei-.es. howi'ver. dividends on his pur- chare at the rate of 8 per cent, on the par value in the case of Toronto Rail- way and so uf tho end of Ilia year he has received $41 60 more than the in BAiK OF MiSTREAl BOBBED Safe Crackers Blow Open Safe at New Westminster, B. C. A despatch from Xe-w Westraia- ster, B.C., says; Two hundred aiid fifteen tlious.Tnd dollars â- 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 coatiiig of the vault, blew open the safe by chnrg- e.s 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 Fraz'-r River in a I'luiich, or else by an automobile Unvartl V'aiicouver. Actual figures of the losses were obttiued iu the after- noon from Manager G. I). Brymer, who has been in charge at New Westminster for twenty years. Tlie re were .«33S,000 in the bank, and of this .^2.53,000 was taken. Of the amjunt taken $150,000 oven were in five and "ten >.! >llar bills. Tliese were all new, and the bank still has the numbers and asserts that payinent on them can be st-jp- ped. There was $38,000 m gold, of which .$-20,000 was takei. and the reiraiuder left. An extra large amount of money was on hand for paying off fishermen and hands fioni the hop fields. The first known of the robbery was when the Chinese caret.-xker appeared at the police station at 5.30 o'clock siv.d gave the alarm. He had managed to work loose from the bonds with which he had been tied after liie robbers hud depart- ed. Chief of Police Brad.>)iaw hur- ried to the scene, aad all available oHicers were pressed into service, but the ouly obtainable clue was that given by the Chinaman. From. the thoroughness of the job and the tools with which the work .'was done the local officers believe the same gang â- which has been at work in Vancouver did the job here. tereat charges. Suppose at tho end of the year the stock has advanced to !6J and the client sells. The broker gets $16,300 for the stock and the client's ac- couul would look somewhat as tallows: Debit Credit 100 Tor. Rails g 158 ....$15,800 Brokerage 25 Margins $ 3.160 Interest 738 40 Dividends ...^ 800 100 Tor. Kails sold 16.300 BroKer-ige 25 (.'hcdue for bulauee . . . 3.652 50 »:0,260 00 $20,260 So that the client rreelves back bi!i mar- gins and about $500 el profit. Of course, in this example, the client was quite fortunate. He had only put up abont 31 points un the market price of the stock which, however, aight have de- clined that amount. But before it had gone down very far the broker would have written a polite but flriu note ask- ing for further margins, and the lower tho price went tho greater the amount of margin required. Fiuiilly, perhaps, the client would sell out at a substantial loss, as he could not raise further mar gins. For, remember this, iu speejilat- iug on margin, the margin does nut lim- it the risk. Legally you owu the stock and the broker only loans you the mouey to pay for it, and keeps the stock as ' security. The fact that he in turn bor- I 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 eouKt force you to make good the amouut through the law courts. You could, of course, limit your losses to a certain point, but that is seldom done, and ia not often satisfactory. Of course, had you been an iuvestor and bought the stock lo hold you would not have been worried by a drop la market price ; for while the' speculatoi sacril'aed safety to prospect of appr» elation, the investor would not hav« overlooked sur-h an important feature.
