Making allowance for the critical state
" relations between this country and
Germany, which supplied an impulse
for the tremendous activity In the stock
market. II is evident that no such churn-
ing about OF speculative commitments
could have occurred within such n mar
row range unless the market had been
a thoroughly abnormal one. The mar
kct Is an abnormal one. for one reason
because II is In control OF the public.

nina the advance I'm Steel TO 77S, and
II was the public that was waiting its
nance and bought stocks In the last
rev days. when the necessities Of the
purely speculative element forced prices
doWn. The activities of the big opera
tors and Of the professional and semi
professional element have their effect,
hut they exert only a surface influence.
Consequently this Is a time when all
signs fail. The prospect can only be
Judged In the light OF the public's de-
sire to speculate and the present peculiar
conditions that lend themselves to such a
speculation.

VIEWS on McADOO PLAN

Cation showed a much steadier under
zane Yesterday and prices closed at a

s,,,led state OF sentiment, owing to the
,,sbic incident, was probably respon-
.,b,e for the moderate extent OF the up
turn.
Among the bullish influences which
nigh, be enumerated was the McAdoo
ola, TO furnish $40. 900. 900 to Federal
,sssrye banks in the South to be loaned

Another rumor going around was 10
the effect that large interests were buy

The McAdoo proposal was greeted
with rather conflicting opinions. II Is

MADOO'S COTTON
PLAN CRITICISED
Bankers Say Money Needed
Could Easily Have Been
Raised Here.
$50, 200, 900 NOT ENOUGH

Wall Street was extremely critical
yesterday OF Secretary McAdoo's plan
to deposit $50. 900. 900 in gold In the
Federal reserve banks in Atlanta, Dallas
and Richmond for the relief OF the cot
ten crop. Bankers generally held that
the proposition was an unfair one In
that the banks In the South were to get
the money from the reserve banks with
out having to pay any interest for II,
while the opportunity for the New York
banks to make loans TO the South on Its
cotton wareh use certificates Is thereby
blocked The New York bankers are
d~lspleased In that 1t has always been
the banks q this city which have cared
for the South In times of stress and local
bankers feel that they have always
handled she problem satisfactorily
Last year when the cotton situation
was particularly acute 1t was the banks
OF New York city which at cncc raised
$50, 600. 900 for the relief OF the south.
while the Secretary OF the Treasury en-
perienced great difficulty all over the
rest OF the country in inducing the In
terror banks to raise their required quota
Of $4,000, 600 or more.
New I.ork bankers hold that the sec
rotary of the T%reasury's action was
unnecessary. as the banks here are
possessed OF ample funds to go to the
relief of the South and s;ill have enough
money left to meet any emergency which
may arise. They also believe that the
$50. 600. 900 which secretary McAdoo
has agreed to deposit in the three Ed
eral reserve biGks of the South viii
not prove sufficient to meet the needs
in case that any real crisis In the cotton
situation arises. II was generally felt
In banking circles that the oner II
largely of q political nature and was
intended as such to win appreciation in
the South.
The cotton trade was not disposed
to look upon the Sscretary's ofrer favor
ably either. I: vas pointed out that
last year a cotton pool OF sl3b. 600 600
was raised and was proved cumbersome
and unnecessary. and there is serious
doubt as to whether the operations OF
the pool, had IL really been called upo
woul have been such as to AFFORD
adequate relief to solve the problem.
the situation said that should any real
crisis arise as regards the cotton crop
and its marketing the $50. 600. 600 would
be sufficient TO care for only 1000, 900
bales at & cents a pound.
