Dr. Dasker, the chess champion, in a
recent interview declared that chess
playing, not carried to excess, improves
a mans health. Most of the promt-
nent players" he added, "live 10 an ad-
vanced age. But nervous people
shouldn't play chess at night If they
do they can't sleep Nor in the morn
ing, or they can't work. They
shouldn't play at all, in fact. Chess is
beneficial to a normal man Just as
athietics is good for him. The chess
player lives longer than the athlete"

gradually disappearing in Wall stree;
and a more confident tone is taking Its
place. This is because heavy forced
liquidation Is over, and unfavorable de-
yelopments have been SO thoroughly
discounted that bear operations are be-
coming less profitable and increasingly
dangerous as evidences multiply that
values are down as low. IL not lower
than intrinsic conditions warrant.
Some of our very best securities are
now selling on to 51a per cent ba-
sis. and their market value has shrunk
fully e-ttird or more within few
short months. while their dividend ca
pacity, be 1t noted, remains unimpaired
Even if dividends on the best stocks
were reduced from s to or from ia
per cent, which is not all likely. the
declines would still be greater than Sc
curity reductions could justify. simply
because recent prices represent emer-
gency or panic sales. Undoubtedly tbs
strong have been protecting themselves
at the expense OF the weak; hence the
late decline has been not only abnor-
mally rapid but abnormally steep; anc
1t naturally follows that as soon as the
crisis is passed recovery to the nor
NAL will be in order.
One of the most favorable influences
towards recovery will be the forthcom-
ing improved financial situation; then
good stocks Will look very cheap Al
present prices. Before long funds sent
to the interior will begin to return, and
the increasing supplies Of grain, cotton
and security bills are almost certain to
continue bringing gold from Europe.
The present downward tendency OF VAL
ues in many Of the merchandise mar
kets has the twofold effect Of stimulat-
ing exports and checking imports. thus
strengthening our trade balance and
encouraging an influx of gold.

MEAT COSTS roo MUCH.
Drop in Hoof Prices Has Not Reached
Butcher Shops-Why?

Chicago. Nov. 23.-The Livestock
World says editorially: Hogs are
worth $500 car load less than year
ago, yet retail prices of pork show but
little decline. There has been a long
downward slide in beef values. yet
fancy prices on steaks and roasts are
still in effect. Producers are COM
planning audibly, consumption is check
ed by excessive retail values and the
livestock trade is in lamentable con-
dition. Sheep and lambs are selling
on the hoof at prices growers declare
subject them to heavy loss. yet the Sue
culent chop and the juicy roast leg of
mutton taxes the ingenuity of a mod
crate capitalist to provide. The whole
range of stock yard prices invite the
careful scrutiny of the housekeeper,
who, If aware of the fact. would at
least demand satisfactory explana-
ton of the market man. Good beef is
now wholesaling at $6G6.50 per hun
dren, pork loins at 8 cents per pound,
and carcass mutton at $8.60@7.50 per
hundred. All over the country an agi-
tation to discover the cause of present
exorbitant block values OF meats Is in
evidence. Beef, pork and mutton costs
the consumer in the United States 1T
present more than do the same articles
OF food in Germany, discrepancy that
at least needs an explanation.
