CHECK SPECULATION
, BY MONEY POOL ACTON
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The New York money committee
took matters in hand yesterday and
enforced a check on the stock market
speculation that will materially tone
down trading from this time on.
The committee ordered that banks
require an increase to 80 per cent on
margins on brokerage loans. begin
ming November 4. as a measure of
conservation and also as a preventive
against trouble that was made prob
ability through 25 and 80 point fiuc-
tuations in strictly speculative stocks
even, during a session of five hours.
The market had broken away from
all restraint; the public came back
sfter months of absence, and. as usual.
it's entrance was the signal for con-
sentative traders to take profits.
Increased margins will eliminate
and avert disaster.
Trading should be adjusted to the
new basis within the next ten days,
and traders do not believe that there
will be any serious liquidation forced
as a result of the ruling.
The chief adjustment is expected to

market. Mexican Petroleum being the
one special, while Texas Oil, Royal
Dutch, Mercantile Marine preferred
and Southern Pacific and Reading in
the rails, which have been carried out
of line with the rest of the market
Some brokers interpreted the action
of the pool as Indicative that future
government financing would be con-
ttinued at "A per cent and that no
higher rates would be permitted. while
the government wishes to keep close
watch against excessive speculation
and absorption of money.
The letter from the money commit
tee to the president of the stock ex-
change was signed by Gov. Strong
of the Second Federal Reserve Bank,
and called attention to the fact that
credit resources of the country have
sustained an increased burden through
the fourth liberty loan, and future
financial needs of the government will
impose further burdens. Nothing was
said regarding financing essential in
dustries. etc. although estimates of
i. Sooo0o0.000 have been made as needed
within the next three months.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

+ CHICAGO, October 25.-New peace
moves by Turkey had a bearish in
fluence today on the corn market. The
effect, however, was tendency to re-
duce support for prices rather than to
enlarge selling. Besides. the likelihood
that Turkey would soon yield uncon-
ditionally seemed to have been to a
great extent discounted on previous
occasions. Opening figures, which
ranged from the same as yesterdays
close to IN lower, with November
124A to 1.241s and December 1.20ss
to 121, were followed by moderate
rallies and then another sag.
BullIsh estimates of food administra-
ton export requirements gave
strength to oats. Weakness of corn
was Virtually ignored. After opening
u off to a UP, with November 69M
to 6sA, the market reacted a little,
but then made a fresh upturn.
Commission house buying led to
sharp advance in provisions. Offerings
were scarce.
Subsequently. shorts met with diff

ding forced sharp upturn. The
close was strong, IN to IN net high

Big advances later were made on
January deliveries of provisions, on

PING BODIE IS HAVING
THAT LAST GLAD LAUGH

He who laughs last chuckles best.
Ping Bodie will tell you so.
For a good many seasons the laugh
has been on BOdie.
He has been made the butt Of col
umn conductors and a standing joke
among baseball writers throughout
the country. but particularly in the
big leagues where joshing would ruin
many a player.
when Ping broke in with the white
SoN il didn't take the scribes in Chi.
caEo long to find out that Pings stock
in trade was a mean bat, and that let
him out. Ping wasn't what might be
called a split-second thinker. He
wasn't any too proficient in covering
ground, either. They used to say that
Ping could cover more ground than
any other nelder in the big show
sitting down.
He Went On His Way.
But with all OF the joshing Ping
went on his fencc-bustinE way.
Turned back to the minors, he con
tinued to hammer the daylights out
Of the pitchers. He made more work
for the ground keepers in repairing
fences in the Coast League than any
other player who ever took picks on
a fast one in his favorite groove. So
finally Ping came back.
Connie Mack believed that Bodie
WAS not handled as well as he might
have been when a member or the
Sox- So he brought Ping back TO the
big show, and his record with the
Athletics last season shows pretty
well. lie slammed the ball around to
the tune Of POI, and nelded well
enough to suit Connie.
Now Bodie is a member OF the
Yanks- He has always wanted to
hook on with a New York club. and
the change in clubs this spring may
make a new ball plaper out Of him, as
a change Of clubs often does.
Now Only the Bell.
When Bodie heard that Mack had
let Bush, Schang, and McInnis get
away to the Red SoX, he said:
well. Philadelphia has two attrac-
tons left, me and the Liberty Bell"
So, II you want to take his word
for it, PhnIy is now down to the
Liberty Bell.
But Bodie has his laugh coming.

his back like water off duck.
