HEAVY LOSSES
UNDER BEAR PRESSURE

NEW YORK. October 31.-Wan street
has few friends these days. They are
barren times for the public traders
who. despite the years and years of
warnings. cannot bring themselves to
assume, even occasionally, the guise of
bear. and thereby take advantage of
an apparently. almost obviously, bear
market.
Naturally bulls. they seek but the
time to buy. and leave the time to sell
TO exhausted margins and the calls of
necessity. when unable to further re-
spond.
These days an apparently fine bar
gain one day is shown by the action of
the market the next day to be a bur
den instead of bargain.
If one could count on a continuation
of dividend payments and of reason
able prosperous conditions, for one is
dependent ON ohe or the other, some OF
the bargains offered today. to 10
to Is per cent net, could well afford
to pay increased income tax, excess
taxes and inheritance tax as well.
But even holders of stocks paid for
and laid away do not feel comfortable
as the paper losses mount and mount

more encouraged to run riot, fearing

The commission consisted OF Rear

W. l.. Capps. Civil Engineer ii. ii. Rous-
seau. Captain G.. w. McElroy and COM
mander c. L. Hussey.
Every Navy Yard Needed
In regard to navy yards, the commis-
sion saws that full consideration OF the
present and prospective size OF our
navy, its requirements not only III
peace. but during the far more eNactlhg
conditions of war, should bring conVlnc-
ing evidence that the adjustment AT
this time of an existing navy yard or
naval station within ,le continental
limits of the United States would be
quite without justification" -,
The REPORT explains that this should
not be taken TO mean that there might
not be transfer of work from one yard
to another, or changes in methods OF
handling work at certain plants. IL de.
clares that the present equipment OF
many yards is inadequate in drydocklng
facilities, berthing space and storage
facilities.
at is not only unequal for the re-
ouirements of the feet" says the re-
port, "but will be seriously inadequate
for its proper maintenance when the
feet is completed to its present author
lied strength"
Economy Not Only Question
The report says IN answer to the
statement that a greater concentra-
ton of yards would be economical that
"the question of economy as determined
by concentration of naval repair estab-
lishments must yield absolutely to the
far more serious necessities Of the fleet,
as undue concentration of such naval
repair establishments might very easily
involve in time of war military dlsas-
ter"
The commission is unable at this time
to determine locations for aviation or
submarine bases.
Shipbuilders Meet Committee
The five big shipbuilding companies
with whom the Navy Department has
negotiated unsuccessfully for construc-
ton of battle-cruisers laid their side
Of the controversy before the House
Naval Committee to-day. They de-
clared that. whether the vessels were
built at private or navy plants, the
S16,500,000 limit of cost set by Con-
gress eventually would have to be in
creased.
The committee was told that the
cost of ship for hull and machinery
would be nearer Sl9.000,000 than $780,
100000, and that the larger figure
would give the builder profit Of
about 81 100000, which the companies
representatives declared was only a
fair margin.
None of the builders would estimate
at less than forty-six months the time
required to complete the first ship,
and all insisted that shortage Of
skilled labor was the governing fac
tor. Equipment of navy yards, they
argued, would create further demand
on ship trades labor. already made
