PUBLIC IN MARKET
ON NALARGE SCALE
MiIIion-Share Days Have Be-
come the Rule on Stock
Exchange.
ASSETS OF INDUSTRIALS
SHOW AMAZING GROWTH
Railroad Issues Continue in Strong
Demand, Despite the Many
Perplexing Problems.

NEW YORK, September 23. - Wall
street may very quickly accommodate
itself to varying conditions in the in
vestment and speculative markets. and
most of all to prosperity. 1t is now
very apparent that the American pub
lie has returned with increasing vigor
to the speculative markets. and mil
lion share days have followed in con-
secutive order without a single break
since the opening of the week OF sep
tember II. The operation of a Dull
market is nearly always the signal for
an upward swing in the stock list, for
at such a time the bears are afraid to
sell short. and as consequence the
amount of stock on the selling counter
is proportionately reduced.
1t is the simple oteration of the old
law of supply and demand emphasized
in the case of certain specialties by
the big addition to earning capacity.
Experienced traders in Wall street
have expressed surprise that the recent
upward movement has been carried SO
far without a sizable reaction for a
breathing spell. Had the public par
ticipation not been genuine, the pro.
fessional element would have found
an opening or weak spot to enable
the downward movement.
Incentive to Buying.
Those who have been closely following
the trend of events in the commercial
and industrial world must admit that
sufficient incentive has been given to
purchase prime securities as permanent
investments This incentive has includ-
ed the extraordinary earnings or the
more important industrial organizations,
in many instances translated into imme-
date dividends for their stockholders
Others, however. have not been SO Tor
tunate, and many anticipated profits
have never been realized. though hopes
for the future are still very bright.
The latter deduction is the one which
calls for a greater degree of caution and
conservatism than many people seem
willing to exercise at this time. for there
is no positive method OF determlning
when an upward movement has reached
it's climax 1t is always safer to make
haste slowly than to be compelled 70
hasten precipitously in an opposite dt-
rection.
Losing Sight of Assets.
People who are entering the stock
market in the present time of excite
ment should remember that prices now
are based upon two valuations-assets
and earnings: and almost daily assets
are being forgotten while war earn
| ings are being reported. United States
Steel is the big war stock and has both
asset value. leadership in earning pow
er and tremendous war earnings.
The approach of Bethlehem Steel tc
| it's former high record price of $500 pei
share has naturally stirred the emo.
! tions of Wall street. Bethlehem Stee
heads the war babies in earning power
and is rapidly converting earnings into
asset values. Whatever the stock wal
| worth a year ago, it is worth between
! $500 and $500 per share more today, FOL
| it adds this year to it's assets between
| $500 and $408 from earnings and has q
| practical gift in the Pennsylvania Stee
| Company. which it bought for very lit.

NEW ORLEANS, September 2s.-
While cotton felt the pressure from
weekend realizing and no little hedg-
ing during the short session today. the
tone remained steady and, after a re-
cession of IA to IS points in the early
trading, recovered and went L to 4
points over yesterdays close. Last
prices were unchanged to points up,
compared with the last quotations OF
yesterday.
Fresh buying for long account met
the decline and prevented much fall
ing off in values. The demand was
stimulated by continued reports of a
good spot inquiry, fear that the tropi-
cal weather disturbance near the Ber-
mudas might swing toward the cot
ton belt and by prospects of more or
less rain in the belt over Sunday as
the result of the low pressure area
now crossing the country and nearing
the cotton region.
While reports from the interior told
OF great progress being made with
picking and predicted heavy ginning
returns in the next report, the erect
Of such features was offset by the claim
from many districts that the erop

If you are to fat and want to
reduce your weight Is or 20
pounds, don't starwe and weaken
your system, or think you must
always be laughed at on account
of your fat, but go to any good
druggist, and get a box of Oil

after each meal and one before
retiring at night.
Weigh yourself once a week
and note what a pleasant and
reliable method this is for re-
moving superfluous fat from
any part of the body.
1t costs little, is absolutely
