Tho Natural Law.

Notwithstanding the latest Official ut
terances that restrictions will remain,
some students of financial affairs look for
an improvement before the end of the
year. One of these. a member of a New
York Stock Exchange Arm, in reviewing
the month Just past. found four reasons
why this should be 80. The end Of the
crop moving rush was his first, and re-
ports of full supply Of money in the West
seemed to him to bear out his position
The second was the expectation that in
dustry would decline sharply, freeing
capital for other fields The third was
that soon would come a moderate de-
cline In commodities In accordance with
an economic law. despite the continuance
Of officially fixed prices. The fourth, and
as he saw Il most Important was his
belief that It would soon become evident
that Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo's
estimates OF the Governments expendi-
lures for the next six months were
'billions' over what would actually be
needed. His conclusions found their
duplicate in many quarters, but the Sc
curities market would seem. had il been
less professional. to have looked rather
toward the Industrial than the specula-
tive prospects.

Close to the Company. =

The signature of the President upon
the agricultural bill was enough for the
speculative community, and Distiiiers
Securities dropped points. This IN
the face OF the oft-repeated dissertations
upon the indifference with which the
Interests close to the companye" were
supposed 10 have greeted several months
ago the prospect of nation wide prohib!-
ton during the war and the definite
knowledge that the distillinS OF whiskey
had ceased soon after our entry into
the war. Whence came the selling
And whence came the buying? The
former question may be left unanswered,
but the latter. where the gossip THAI
reached the ears Of brokers whose watch
upon the sources OF trading is close
would shed some light on the fractional
upward reaction from the law OF yester-
day. 1t would appear that Interests
close TO the company in this instance
were Az close as such interests could
we'll be and that they were buying,
Which led one shrewd tape reader to
remark that tho other extreme OF such
relation is the public. which does not
buy on the decline.

Control a Necessity.

Banking interests. however, asserted
that before a price reduction can occur
In industry there must be some defiation,
and that before any expansion of
brokers' loans could be considered local
borrowings of about $40. 5000 at the
Federal Reserve Bank must be cut in
half. And in other brokerage Offices the
conviction stood that the very problems
of industrial readjustment. OF lower COM
modities prices and what not questions
arising from the new future before the
world were the most pointed reasons
why strict control OF credit for specu-
lation were still necessity. Relaxation
in money conditions may come, but be-
fore speculation feels II Il Is believed
municipal financing and bond issues for
the industries of peace would be we'll
taken care Of AS to that. a leading
broker holds TO the belief that at the
peace conference Will come Considera-
lions that with our Industrial problems
would bear very seriously upon credit in
any activity.

The Money situation.

No meeting of the money committee
was held yesterday, though Wall Street
had talked OF che prospects of some re-
Taxation of the money restrictions in the
near future. But significant Of what con-
ditions will prevail for an indefinite pc
ROD was the fact that Benjamin Strong,
Jr. governor OF the New York Federal
Reserve Bank, was going to be absent
from his post for some time. Mr.. Strong
conferred yesterday with Gates w. Nc
oarrah, Albert II. wiggin and James
6. Alexander. No official statement was
forthcoming at the end OF the confer
ence. but the assumption was that the af-
fairs OF the Reserve Bank and the gen.
eral financial situation had been the
subject OF discussion. It was presumed
that the governor OF the Reserve Bank
had left with his associates direction
for The management of the banks bust
ness. And since II has been the banks
business to restrain speculation by the
regulation Of brokers' loans the deduc-
ton that no drastic change in the re-
strictions would occur until his return
was thought logical.

The Decline in Coppers.

There was a downward definite
trend to the list OF declining values In
Yesterdays markets by the further SELL
ing OF the coppers. What was the basic
reason for their decline? Previous TO
the signing Of the armistice they had
experienced a good advance because
their comparatively low prices and high
returns had inspired the speculative fra
ternIty. which has always been some-
what fearful OF the short side of the
market in these issues. When poor re-
ports from the various concerns weN
followed by the ready belief that aft e.
January the fixed price OF copper
would not be maintained, the copper
shares were weakened in position by the
heavy long holdings and the lack OF
short interest Wall Street all this week
had been feeling its way for a definite
trend for securities, so that the weak
technical position OF the copper shares
made them most vulnerable to the test
