Those hopeful "wets" who have been

that the total Of such paper. against

aggregates at most not more than
S25. 100000, and it is doubtful If 1t

compiled from the reports received by
the Comptroller of the Currency at
Washington as of September show that
the national banks of tho country

The Line of Least Resistance

One of the largest operators In the

liquidation in business is impending.
1t may not come in six months, but it
is on the way. There must be a re-
adjustment from present high prices
of commodities and the sooner it comes
the better. Most of the nations of
Europe are bankrupt. We are not in
the position to grant them the credits
they seek, and should not, in my opin-
ion, for to do SO would only mean to
postpone the collapse of the price
structure. This is not the only un-
favorable factor in the equation. There
is the great mass of undigested secur-
ties to be reckoned with. In the last
year some s12 900, 900 of new secur
ties have been sold, the b TX Of which

Prices Firm i'm
Listless. Markets:
Money Rate Drops
Ease of Demand Loans
Fails to Stimulate Trad
ing; Copper and Sugar
Shares Show Strength

Forces Of sufficient weight to sway
prices much in either direction were
conspicuously absent in yesterdays
stock market. and as a result dealings
consisted chiefly Of the exchange Of
counters between professional specula-
tors. Tho demand for stocks was light,
but selling pressure appeared to be
even lighter, so that prices held fairly
we'll, and even advanced little IN
some cases.
Those who were bullishly inclined
were satisfied with this showing, in
asmuch as some Of them had feared
might upset the stock market. Traders
paid little attention to this develop
ment, however, since it was generally
realized that the recent sharp recov-
cry in the pound, the franc and the
lire had been based chiefly on short
covering, and, with the short interest
out of the market, the slump was
bound to come rs soon as the offerings
Of new bills increased
Copper and sugar shares did rather
better than the rest Of the list. The
strength of the coppers reflects i'm
provement in the demand for the metal,
which has sold more freely of late and
at prices up somewhat from the recent
low level. There has been some ac-
emulation of copper stocks since this
group scraped bottom about ten days
ago. Failure of the sugar control bill
to pass the Senate was responsible for
the renewed strength of these shares,
which scored sharp gains in the early
trading. The advance caused some
proflt-taking, however, and at the close
prices were we'll below the highest
levels Of the day, although still show
ing gains over Wednesdays final quota
tions.
Call money was quoted at 8 per cent
most Of the day, but toward the close
the rate dropped to per cent, the
lowest point touched in some weeks.
The ease of money failed to stimulate
the market. Indeed, the decline in the
rate was simply reflection Of the
stagnation Of trading in securities
rather than Of change in the funda-
mental money position. 1t is doubtful
if a low money rate would cause any
substantial Improvement in the de-
mand for stocks unless it we're ac-
companied by some assurance that
rates would not jump to cxorbitant
levels if the market should become ac-
tive.

Ziegler will present the purpose of this drive to the men at the Kennecott mines next week when he visits their camp.
 An orphan may be kept alive on IT cents a day or $5 a month. How many days will you keep a child alive? If it were your child how long would you want a friend to aid it? Let us practice the Golden Rule. Every contribution will be appreciat, ed. Every dollar goes directly to the support of the orphan, as all office and overhead expenses are met by private contributions and not taken out of money collected in the drives.

MOURNING AT NOME AT PROSPECTS OF
 ABANDONING POST

Fort Davis, few miles from Nome, one of the five army posts in Alaska, is to be abandoned, accord ing to word just received. Next to Fort Gibbon, at Panama, Alaska, Fort Davis is Uncle Sam's farthest north ern army station.'
 The soldiers at Fort Davis are to be transferred to Fort St. Michael, Alaska, which lies near the mouth of the Yukon river. Washington prob ably thinks St. Michael a better place for the men, as the point is busy during the summer month with the transferring of passengers and freight from ocean steamers to the Yukon river steambOats.
 Nome does not want to see Fort Davis abandoned and a number of pro- tests have been sent to Washington. The order to give up the post was made in line With the governments new retrenchment policy, it is be- lieved.
 Fort Davis is located closer to over- seas foreign shores than any other American mainland army post, it has been pointed out The Nome Nugget speaks of the sad plight fOrtless Nome would be in if a sloop-load of hostile Bolsheviki should sail across from the eastern Siberian shores.
