cdating with them. The legislature defeated, however, a bill creating a mile dry zone around normal schools and universities.
 Governor Ferguson of Texas, hav- ing been elected on a platform op- posing all liquor agitation the ques- ton was left practically untouched in that state. He vetoed the only Ii- quor bill passed. The measure would have reduced the tax on wholesale druggists selling alcohol. In Della ware the anti-shippfng law passed in 1913, which prohibited the shipment of liquor into Kent and Sussex coun- ties which were dry, was repealed. The court having decided that the law could not keep out interstate shi pm ments, the result was that dealers outside the state could make ship
 nents into Delaware's dry territory, while dealers in New Castle county,
 which is license territory, were pro-
 hibited. Delaware has only three
 counties. An attempt to secure the enactment of a more rigid law affect also attended an effort to obtain fa- | vorabIe license legislation.
 At this writing the Wisconsin leg 1 islature was still in session. No pro hibition bill was pending in either ] house, but several restrictive meas | ures were waiting action. In those
 states, that have not been mentioned, | either no action was taken on the H- quor question or the legislatures | were not in session.

THE STOCK MARKET.
CT. L. Watson & Col

Perhaps one reason for the slowing down of speculative activity, has been the attention demanded of our leading bankers in the solution of the foreign exchange problem, more particularly relating to the pound sterling. De- preciation in European ~curr encies means premium on the American dollar Fluctuations in exchange are detrimental to financial business just as a constantly varying price (outside of a normal range) in coffee, grocer ies or cloth would be bad for commer- cia1 business. But there can be no question that whether sterling ex- change can be stabilized by some de- vice or continues to decline, the gold equivalent of what this country sells abroad will be received by it. And there can be no doubt that the out side world will long be in need of our agricultural surplus and of an inn mense proportion of our manufac- lures. Happily, so far as prospects have developed, we shall have a good surplus big enough to sell abroad at highly profitable prices. Part of our industrial machinery Is now overtax- ed by foreign demands; it is probable that full capacity of output will be required ere long to meet combined home and European demands. Our monetary supplies and our capacity of credit expansion are ample to meet all the requirements of American bus mess and afford margin for invest ment abroad where the security and the rate of interest return are sat isfactory And such a condition, en- tire1y new in our history, we may trust to be handled safely and con servative1y by our captains of finance and commerce. If there should be demanded some patience in waiting for the clearing away of few un- settled problems, we can afford to be patient in full confidence that all the fundamental influences are working gradually to enhance all American values.
