as he is at writing one. Some time

tlemen," he said, "being present at a
gathering in which art is so largely
represented, l feel it incumbent upon
me to say q few yOrds concerning the
subject of painting. Speaking person
ally, my only efforts n; that direction
were on an occasion when 1 enameled

dear fellow, it's no good your going in
for painting unless you're prepared to
stick to your work. Well" concluded
Mr.. Pain, amidst the laughter of his
audience, 81 did."--London Tit-Blts.

and Should Be Cheap.

Toledo, O.-Dry onions should not
sell above a cent a pound this winter,
declared members of the National
Onion Growers Association, who were
in session here. The members say the

winter dry onions brought 13 cents in
the wholesale market, the highest
price on record.

to fight until world terrorism had been
Overthrown at a patriotic rally held
here by the National Security League
for the announced purpose of vindicat-
ing Chicago of alleged intimations of

speaking and writing and printing
arguments against everything that is

rendering more effective service to
Germany than they ever could render
in the field with arms in their hands,"
declared the former Secretary of State,
amid cheers.
1T is impossible to resist the con-
clusion chat the greater part of them
at heart are traitors to the United
States. AS time goes on and the char
acter of these acts becomes more and
more clearly manifest, all who con-
tinue to associate with them must
come under theA same condemnation.
There are some who doubtless do not
understand what this struggle really

that we cannot see any ground for ex

"Who said wanted to be exempted? :?
I want them still to be dependents,
but want them to be dependent upon
themselves"
After little further investigation of
his case he was accepted.

During the excited period Of stock
market activity just experienced the
money market has been maintained
on an even keel. Money rates
scarcely moved at all last week, call
loans at the Stock Exchange holding
steady throughout the week around
4 per cent. In the market for fixed
date loans secured by Stock Ex-
change collateral rates were main
tanned at 81 to 6 per cent Com
mercial paper was discounted some
what more freely ana rates eased off
a bit TO 5A 10 515 per cent Bank
ers assert that the outlook for the
money market is satisfactory, al
though some heavy demands are to
be met within the next two weeks,
when the first large payment on the
second Liberty Loan subscriptions
has TO be made. The effect of the
governments financing on corporate
activity is shown in the fact that
new security issues in October fell
short of s50,O00,000, or about half
Of what they were a year ago. Since
January ! domestic capital issues
have decreased S425,000,000, COM
pared with the figures for the cor
responding period Of 1916.

Banks Held Responsible

Representative brokers hold the
banks responsible for the present state
OF the market. 1t would be difficult for
we'll established brokerage houses to
secure a $1,000 loan this week. The
few Montreal houses involved in diff
culties tried 10 sell stocks to cover
their accounts, but buyers were lack
ing. There was no recourse to the
banks. Canadian banks have been
frankly cautious about letting out call
loans during the last year. Call loans
in Canada have decreased sl7,000000
during the last twelve months.
Now that the market has adjusted
itself to the new conditions, the gen.
eral feeling is that the Montreal Ex-
change "muddled" into a safe solution
of its troubles. During the last six
months no heavy selling of stocks has
appeared, but buyers were almost en-.
tirely lacking. The result is that is
sues of undoubted merit have slrmpej
TO Unfortunately low levels. In spite
of liberal war profits taxes (which are
rot, however, as heavy as those which
United States companies have to pay),
representative Canadian industries
were never so prosperous. Leading
companies have accumulated large sur.
pluses and substantial reserves. and
have plenty Of untitled orders on their
books. In this respect conditions are
almost identical with those or the
Wall Street market.

Demands of War

This war has not only been the big
&c, IN history, and managed by botn
belligerent sides with the greatest and
most complete national and interna-
tional organization, both military, po-
litical and economic, but its demands
upon commerce have included articles
never before thought of as "contraband
of war" A study of the latest DEGREES
containing lists of contraband shows
how true this is. II has made its de-
hands upon the inventive faculty, not
only for war machinery and tools. but
in the most unexpected ways. A recent
report on Canadian production of min
erals states that the fine, long-hbred
asbestos of Canada has been largely
utilized in recent months in the manu-
facture of warm, soft. but tireproof,
gloves for use by artillerymen on the
war fronts. The latest war export to
be reported is electricity. The French
have discovered that 10000 kilowatts
Of electrical energy, equivalent to TO-
800 horsepower, is being delivered over
the Geyman-Swiss border by the Motor
Company, Ltd, Of Switzerland. to
company which the French say is iden-
teal with the eGschemikalen A. G..
War Chemical Company, Ltd in Ger
many This particular energy seems to
be used in the manufacture of war ma
terials.

If the new trading rules prescribed
by the Stock Exchange authorities
reduce short selling of stocks to a
minimum, as is considered likely,
Wall Street may before long have a
demonstration Of the effectiveness or
non-effectiveness Of short selling AZ
market stabilizer. Economists
have long recognized the value of
short sales Of securities as a sort or
gyroscopic bit of machinery for keep
ing prices balanced. 1t may be that
the new requirements of the Stock
Exchange in the form of the names
of all lenders and borrowers Of stocks
may scare many short sellers out Of
the market, thereby reducing the
short account, which represents just
so much potential buying power, to
O minimum. If that happens, it is not
improbable that we may have an in
teresting market test. Stock Elk
change officials emphasize, however,
that they will do nothing to stop
legitimate selling of stocks for the
decline. They are merely concerned
with those interests which have ma
liciously conspired to depress values
and so injure the credit of the coun-
try at large.
