RAPID TRANSIT CERTIFICATES MAKE
GOOD ADVANCE ON SMALL TURNOvEp
American Locomotive Is Marked Up More Than Point
Trading on Local Exchange Dull, With
Few Changes in Prices

Trading on the Philadelphia Stock EN-
change during today's short session was
very dull and, with few exceptions. uninter-
esting. There was no turnover OF conse-
quence in any issue and, with the eXcep-
tion Of Rapid Transit certificates Philadel-
phia Traction and American Locomotive,
price changes were unimportant.
The transit certificates attracted consid-
cradle attention when they scored an ad-
vance of a full point to IS, with the sales
unusually small. Philadelphia Traction lost
points on a trlfling transaction. Amer
lean Locomotive advanced more than a
point to Sly. The turnover in Steel COM
mon was much below normal, but the price
was a little higher.
Insurance Company of North America,
Lehigh Navigation, Lake Superior Phila-

and Lehigh Valley were unchanged.
Liberty Bonds were the feature of the

COTTON IS ERRATIC
IN NERVOUS MARKET
Approximated Report on Gin
ming Causes No Revision of
Estimate of the Crop
NEW YORK, Nov. IT.

There was a reaction from the nervous
ness noted yesterday In the cotton market
TODAY and the tone was firmer In the main,
although price movements were erratic at
times.
AS far as could be learned the approxi-
mate report Of the Census Bureau on gin
ming, which will be made public at the be-
ginning of business next Thursday, has not
nor does there appear TO have been any
nestle mill requirements as suggested by
the bureaus statement on consumption of
the staple last Wednesday.
A renewal Of confidence was shown at the
opening on the part of traders because of
the fact that the rumors. late on Friday, of
a possibility of price fixing by the Govern
ment were said to be unfounded, and the
tone was strong. with advances Of 2l to "a
points being recorded
The buying was principally by those who
had been the heaviest sellers on the previous
day. and included room traders and some
uptown interests. Wall street purchased
the early position and sold the late options
and Liverpool was moderate seller of
May. but at best the supply was scattered
on local and advancing bids did not bring
out large line.
After the call. the higher prices brought
in a supply mainly from commission firms,
and within few minutes January reacted
23 points. only to be followed almost i'm
mediately by rally of s points. Other
options moved In sympathy with January
which was the steadiest. although the

lie used to the full these opportuni-
tiss which were his, and in so doing,
! like General Wood, he showed the ma
ton that the rules of a military hiec-
archy must be broken at times if the
nation is to avail itself of the eXcep-
ti0naI gifts Of the rare leader. Fun
ston leaped over the barriers because
he was a popular hero. His reckless
Iaudacity and resourcefulness so en-
deared him to the millions that his
progress could not be blocked
The lesson of Funston's usefulness
fought not to be forgotten Especially
should it be remembered at this time
when the nation is considering the re-
construction of it's armies. The lament
ed general proved once more that the
road should ever be open to talent.
Advancement in the army should be

West Point should not be disregarded

be only one of several principal routes

MAN VS., BOOTS.

They say you can tell mans occu-
patton by looking at his shoes, Just
as you can sometimes tell how good a
customer Of the bath tub he is by
standing within two feet of him; but
it remains for an editorial friend to
compare the man himself with his
boots
Boots, he says, are sold; so are men.
Boots have soles; so have men: Boots
sometimes lose their soles; so do men.
You can find whole-soled, fine-soled.
coarse-soled boots, and boots with no
soles at all worth speaking Of; you
can find men with the same kind of
souls.
Boots are tanned; so are men-in
their youth. Boots sometimes get tight;
SO do men. Boots were made to go on
feet; SO were men. A boot, when
well soaked, is a hard case; so is a
man. Some boots can't stand water;
neither can some men. Some boots
have red tops; SO have some men,
Some boots are imitation calf; so are
some men. The less understanding
there is in boot the bigger it feels;
SO it is with man. A boot will shine,
if polished; so will man. A boot to
be of much account must have a
mate; so must man. A boot, when
old, gets Wrinkled, and sometimes
homely; so does a man.

PREDICTS END OF WAR.

The last public message of Prof
Huge Munsterberg, who died suddenly
in his class room in Cambridge, Mass
contains q vision OF Deace and GOOD
will, and in it the writer indicated he
believed such peace was near. The
message was sent to a weekly maya
zine at New York City and made pub
lie upon receipt of the news of his
death.
after the war;, the message said
"No trace will remain Those who
hated most holly will forget most
quickly. Men will look one another
in the face with establishment. The
spell will be broken They simply
will not believe that they could not
misjudge and maltreat their friends
SO grossly. The subtle power of our
mind will become mankind's blessing
"As soon as peace is secured, we
shall keep the peace not only by the
harsh method Of enforcing it, but by
the hundred times better method OF
making it natural and it can become
natural because all the scorn of today
will fall off like the scab of a healing
wound. Unless all psychological
signs deceive us, after this war ends
peace will really be lasting and ]
feel sure that end of the war is near
the world Christmas tree will be glis-
tening tomorrow, the fragrance of its
candles already pervades the world"

A UTOPIAN SCHEME?
