Some newspaper advertising will bring

It's Results that the advertiser wants.

The day after it appeared, a solicitor
who always seeks TO play return engage

Reaching The People Who Buy

II brought more than returns" was the
reply: 1T brought results"
His Returns were mere inquiries at the
store. Often they are from mere curiosity.
His Results were sales.
This advertiser has been in the habit of
looking to his advertising for returns; to
his statesmen for results.
The Times did a full days work by
bringing both.
And the only newspaper that produces
Results is the one that reaches the buying
class
In Washington, that paper is The Times.

WHY THE UPHEAVAL IN
WALL STREET?

The Generalization in prices on the
New York Stock Exchange has been
brought about by conditions peculiar
to that center, and does not reflect
any radical change in conditions gov
erning the general business situation.
Even in the steel trade, which is ad
mittedly suffering from lack of buy
ing orders, conditions are no worse
than they were SIX months ago. Then
why the sudden Upheaval in Wall
Street? The answer Is that the men
who inaugurated the upward move
ment IN prices last spring have I'M
iloaded their holdings at advances
ranging from ten to eighty points, and
are now enjoying their profits. while
the novices of speculation arc trying to
solve the mysteries of stock gambling.
The mistake steel manufacturers
made was in ignoring economic con
ditions until the last minute, and then,
in desperate effort 70 stimulate buy
ing, declaring an open market"
which means going after business re
gardless of price. 1t IS unfortunate
for the whole business structure of
The country that these interests stub
bornly maintained prices during
period when the tendency naturally
was downward and then finally re-
sorted 10 tactics that could not be
otherwise than destructive to a branch
of business that meaus 50 much to
the material progress OF the country
Steel men missed their chance when
they refused to get together upon a
uniform plan for lowering prices OF
their products, and they are now pay
ing dearly for their shOrt-sightedness.
Nearly every line of manufacture
has made gratifying progress in re-
covering from the long business de-
preston. except steel. iron and kin
dred products; but the industries
which report greatest revival are
those which seized the opportunity to
reduce prices of their wares to con
IOEm 10 the HtN tpIuibipll>. Ahtoe
lines went about it in a businesslille
way, and the lowering OF prices was
not accompanied by any Of the dis
JurbIng elements which came to the
steel trade when the open market
was declared.
As ter the generalization in tho
stock market, that Is the penalty
which results from mwise specula
ton. For months conservative bank
icg houses had warned the public
against taking the bait thrown Al
them by professional spectators
Prices were soaring, and the specula
tive fever was 50 rampant that no ad
vice. unless il be to buy stocks, wa
I.eeded. The result was that month
ago quotations passed the limit 0
safety. and the heavy liquidation nov
in progress Is simply housecleaning t
get rid of the little fellows who canno
or viii not maintain their position.
