On Market Conditions
In His Regular Weekly Letter This Noted
FinanCicr Gives Many Reasons for
Belief in Lower Prices

NEW YORK. March 3.-The specu-
lative situation fails to show any inn
provement. There has been notice
able dwindling of numbers in the bull
ranks and a waning courage on the
part of those who have beeen CON
spicuous on that side of the market.
The impression that the top wave in
the securities market has been reached,
for some time TO come at least, is
steadily growing, and from day to day
il becomes increasingly evident that the
technical situation has been materially
weakened by liquidation quietly effect
ed when the market was at its best
in December and January. As prices
decline there is a singular absence OF
inside support, even from the prom
inent leaders or insiders. who are popu-
larry supposed to be on the bull side
of the market. As a matter of fact.
many of these gentlemen are convinced
that the market must seek a lower
level before any substantial induce
ments can be found for reinvestment
or for. the conducting of d fresh bull
campaign.
Dislike Investigations.
At the moment the market is suffer
ing somewhat from absenteeism; a large
number of wealthy operators taking the
respite from business responsibilities
which is becoming so customary at the
end of the winter. The absentee list.
moreover, has been considerably swelled
by the quiet disappearance Of numerous
individuals who wish 10 avoid testify
ing before the various investig5 ting
committees. which are not confined TO
New York alone. but are al " rk in
W aShingtOn and other political CenteTS
The investigation fever has had not a
little to do with the present reaction In
Wall Street. 1t has not only caused a
good deal of personal anxiety among
many Of the responsible heads of cor
porations. whose doings would not stand
the glare of sensational publicity; bu. II
has also made more difficult the pro-
motion OF new financial operations and
is breeding spirit of pessimism and
personal animOsities in he financial dis

spirit of harmony that has prevailed
during the last three or four years.
The money market situation is still a
cause Of apprehension. Last week the
surplus reserve was down TO about
s. COO 000-the lowest at this period in six
teen years. The loan account continues
to show much expansion. and apparently
nothing but enforced liquidation in the
stock market will strengthen reserves
The interior demands for currency are
large, owing to the activity of business.
while farmers both South and West are
holding on 10 their crops longer than
usual The result is funds are not re-
turning with their accustomed freedom,
Very shortly the demands incidental 10
the April settlements will be enforced
and the money market is in no sense
prepared. The chief difficulty Is not In
the supply of money. for thug has been
largely augmented during the last few
years, but in the large sums locked up
In speculative operations and In the
financing of various deals.
Unoigested Securities.
Another demand upon the money mar
ket is the increased offerings of new
securities. Since January l over $40o,-
600 600 of new securities have been issued
and a much larger quantity authorized
Just now We are suffering from on over
supply of securities also the over-ex-
pansion in loans In addition to other
drawbac ks. which of themselves are
sufficient to depress the market The
wonder is that values stand up so well
against such tremendous odds; and
there is no doubt We're il not for the
confidence inspired by satisfactory busi-
ness conditions in all parts of the coun-
try, we should stand exposed to a pretty
severe reaction in Wall Street
The coal situation is anything but sat
iSfaCtory and the wages agitation is
also an element of disturbance. Rail-
road earnings continue very satisfac
tory The crop outlook however. is I'M
certain. the winter wheat crop being
more exposed than usual to injury from
frost: mild weather having put the
plant in a forward condition but at the
same time deprived ii Of the protection
from snow. Political tendencies at home
and abroad are adverse.

Letter from Aid. Jordan.

Editor Herald According to
promise l will endeavor to tell you
how favorably I was impressed with
s. Dakota. From the't time I crossed
the Sioux river till I reached
Platt there was nothing but large
fields Of waving grain, mammoth
corn fields all in silk and tassel, and
large herds Of cattle grazing on the
luxuriant grasses. PlatU is the termi-
nal point Of one Of the branches of
the Milwaukee road. Platt is q
thriving town.
In looking over the town I found
there We're three banks and upon
examining the statement Of one of
them they had on deposit 1923, 600.
All other branches are in harmony.
It takes five warehouses TO handle
the grain raised on the large nndu
lating p~airies. If the spies that
were sent out to view the promised
land had STRUCK S. Dakota they GER
tainly would have found a land
flowing with milk and honey. I had
the pleasure Of surprising my
brother-in-law and family and found
them all well, and as harvest is in
progress it gave me an opportunity
to see headers and push binders at
work. Aside from farming Mr..
Pearson is doing a prosperous bust
ness in blooded stock. We We're out
two days riding over the prairie and
one day crossed the Bijou hills.
While on top Of these hills l had a
fine view of the surrounding
country. The next day we went to
the Missouri river and drank OF its
water. I must say I travelled over
some pretty country.

Obituary-Hickok.

Edna was the devoted and helpful
companion of her mother, Vas much
loved by all relatives and held in
tender esteem by teachers and
school-mates. A little brother and
sister remain to tighten the burden
of grief in the darkened home. The
sympathy Of large community
was manifested by one Of the largest
funerals ever seen in Blakes Prairie
and fowers-thOse beautiful en-
blems Of youths lovliness- covered
the snowy casket, and their rich
profusion softened the gloom of so
sad an occasion.
NJ. and Mrs. Hickok are deeply
appreciative of the many kindnesses
shown during the illness of their
daughter and very grateful for the
manifold tokens of sympathy IN
their loss.

The happlest man IN the world
is the common, every day chap who
makes his own board and has the
respect of his neighbors. He saves
little money as he doesn't try to
get a corner on he local output,
and he is a slave to neither ambi-
ton nor society. He never expects
to wear out the seat Of his pants II
the senate and when he slides into
his clothes in the morning he never
wastes any time trying to pick out
the right kind of sox, suspenders
and neckties that will blend with
the general effect. He wears
billed" shirt when he feels like If,
and when his pet corn begins TO
jump he whips out his pet jack
knife and cuts four inch cash IN
the side of his boot and nothing is
said about it in the papers. He
has an appetite like cyclone and
never has to sit up nights to pOul-
tice his conscience. He believes in
the doctrine OF live and let live.
When he encounters one of the
needy he does not stutter with his
pocket-book. The plain plug of
man is happy because he is satisfied
and doesn't spend the best part of
his life in yearning for something
about four sizes too big for him.

SWITZERLAND-A
POLITICAL EXPERT
MENT STATION

The great Republic of the West has
Alps.
Switzerland is less than half as ex-
tensive as Ohio, and lacks, by mil
lion as many people. But in the pur-
ity of her democracy there is no state
Of our union which is to be compared
Oregon.
This little republic has no standing
army, but she exerts in the world a
moral influence greater than the might
Of armies Her influence counts es-
Decially for two things. One of these
is peace.
How has she managed to escape the
slavery Of militarism, when the ma
lions that surround her are stupendOus
camps Of fighting men? Because.
after the battle Of Waterloo, these ma
tons agreed to make Switzerland neu-
trail territory. Why not enlarge that
whole Of Europe?
The Lion of Lucerne sleeps on these
Swiss hills; the velvet valleys are
sacred with the shrines of Margarten
and Sempach and Nafels; the legend
Of William Tell and the spirit of Ar
mold Winkelried abide in the forest
cantons, and every mountain is a
monument to the deathless courage of
the men who fought for freedom on
that great battlefield of Europe
But these mountains that keep the
Of al no
Sentinels Of a. more glorious peace
What was the battle ground of Europe
has become the pleasure ground of
all the world, and the Alps that stand
guard there seem to be watching the
surrounding armies, resolved that
never again shall human blood defile
their mountain torrents nor the curse
Of war profane their solitudes. How
beautiful upon the mountains are the
feet Of the Swiss republic that bring
eth good tidings, that publisheth
peace.
But there Is one thing greater than
peace, and that is liberty. In the quail
ity Of her liberty as we'll as in the
example Of her peace, the Swiss re-
public is evangel among the nations,
OQlanCQ
tween two principles; between fedora
ton and self-government. Federation
without self-government is tyrrany.
Local independence without federation
is anarchy.
Our own republic taught the world
the lesson Of federation. The Swiss
deliberately copied our federal constl-
tuition. But the old town meeting was
the cradle Of our liberties, and that
in our scheme Of government has been
lost. In the Swiss system, however.
we find a great problem solved. They
have saved the essential democracy of
the town meeting without losing anv
Of the blessings Of federation. In his
Rise of the Swiss Republic" Mr.. Nc
Crackan says:
1T will always remain the chief
honor and glory Of Swiss statesman
ship to have discovered the solution
OF one of the greatest political prob
lens Of the ages; how to enable great

ORIGIN OF THE STRIKE FUND.
The earliest mention Of strike fund
occurred In the strike Of the Partisan
stocking weavers in 1924, when a
crown a day was subscribed for every
striker and all blacklegs were merci-
lessly boycotted. But the biggest strike
under the ancient regime was that
OF the silk factory hands at Lyons in
l744, when 10000 men went on strike
and so alarmed the mayor that he con-
ceded everything they asked and wrote
to his brother that he had ia tete cas-
see par cette vile canaille." The "v1le
canaille," however, had had their mo-
ment, and 1t was no longer theirs. Two
months later the king sent down TO-
900 soldiers pour remettre rordre dams
Ia bonneville de Lyon" and we hear
no more Of strikes till the supreme
strike Of 1789.-London Chonicle.
