Producers Fear Competition From
Those Sold by Army.

BERLIN, September 80 (by the AS
ISOLATED Pressj.-The Germans are
fearful that thousands of the Ameri-
can automobiles sold by the American
expeditionary force to the French will
be struggled across the German Dor
der, constituting an undesirable in
-vasion of the German automobile in
dustry. 1t is said here that $4,000
American cars were sold to the
French.
Germany is reported to be short of
tires and tubes for automobiles and
bicycles. Experts say that Americans
have stored up quantities of tires in
the occupied territory. which can be
sent over into unoccupied Germany
and sold on the market at prices
which the German manufacturer can
not meet.
There is no question in the minds
of the Germans that there is an ade-
quate supply of rubber in the world
and the financial papers say that rub
Der production was more than dou-
bled from 1918 to 1918. They say that
lack of transportation prevented some
OF the rubber crop from being trans
ported from South America to the
industrial centers. where it is man
ufactaFed into tires, and predict that
this difficulty soon will be overcome.

THREE THEORIES
Of MARKET ACTION
Analysis of Various Facts,
Conditions and Influences
Prevailing.

(From N. 7. Evening Post Financial Bureau. }
NEW YORK, October 25.-A stock
market like that of Thursday. with its
abrupt and violent decline in prices,
was bound to occasion some mental
reconsideration Of the stock exchange
position.
The reaction in prices taken by it,
self was no more sweeping than the
enhancement of prices which has oc-
CURED in Some weeks on a single day.
Still it was decline at times of a
disorderly character, and with an al
most unprecedentedly large volume of
transactions. Therefore it revised
conjecture as to what is actually the
character of this present market.
That question is answered in Wall
one is by this time familiar with the
three explanations. The stocks are
going up purely on their merits and
because of their Unexpectedly great
and prospective earnings.
AS prices are rising on the stock ex-
change for the same reason as pre-
walls in the market for commodities
because of imitation" whereby even
an actual intrinsic value unchanged
from what it was formerly is
now measured in a deprecated money,
with consequent rise in nominal valu-
advance in stocks, particularly of
those whose real and permanent earn
ing power is conjectured, results
from the presence of an unusual num-
Der of people, suddenly and greatly
enriched by wartime profits which
they are ready to- stake in an inter
esting gamble and now completely
infatuated with the play.

mixed. The gradual collapse of the

HOPEF0R ELECTION
Several Candidates in Field
for Position Now Held by
CarranZa.
IN JULY SCHEDULED

By the Associr ted Press.
MEXICO CITY, October 4.-The end
of the present year probably will see
definite alignment of political parties
and presidential candidates in Mexi-
held next July. The situation now
presents these facts:
Gen. Alvaro Obregon. former right
hand man of President Carranza and
credited with being the directing
military agent who overthrow Villa
and made possible a Carranza consti-
tutional government. announced his
candidacy several months ago. AL
though remaining at Sonora. he has
established political headquarters in
Mexico City. has launched a daily
newspaper in his behalf and is press
ing his campaign so vigorously that
both chambers of congress now in
session have engaged in heated de-
bates. which were in reality intended
as tests of Obregon's power in con-
gress. His followers assert they are
satisfied with the results. From So
nora hel issues manifestos and ap
peals to the voters. He lays claim
to being the leader of the liberal
party.
Numerous Clubs Organized.
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, credited with
the capture of Zapata and the pacifi-
cation of the state of Morelos, is
recognized as a candidate. although
he has made no formal announce
ment. complying apparently with
President CarranZa's request that
candidates withhold the launching of
campaigns until the end of the pres
ent year. Numerous Gonzales for
president" clubs have been organized
in Vie republic and the newspapers
always refer to him as an aspirant.
When President Carranza left on
his visit to Coahuila, ehe withdrew
Gen. Gonzales from the state of
Oaxaca, where he was in command of
federal forces pacifying that region,
and made him chief of the forces of
the plaza, a position giving him vir-
tua1 command of all federal forces in
the republic. Political writer's saw
in the presidents aceon a favoritism
for Gonzales indicating Carranza
backing when campaigning actually
begins. Later. however, Gonzales
asked to be retired to private life, and
it was said semi-officially that he
wished few months seclusion in or
der TO make plans for his campaign.
Almost simultaneously Gen. Obregon
sent message to congress asking
that he be retired from the army.
virtually reducing him to a civilian
candidate.

Speculation Disturbing.

AS against this investment strength
the speculative situation has been
perturbed and dangerous. During the
latter part of the week there was
a sharp collapse among some of the
favorite shares, including oils and a
variety of Industrial shares, which
had been advanced to levels which
left them in an evidently 'topheavy'
condition. With call money in rela-
lively scant supply and likely to ex-
hibit firmer rates a number of stocks
which were in a technically weak po-
sition should be looked upon with
great caution and can be purchased
only when the buyer is in position
amply to protect himself.

UNDER DISCUSSION
Every Penny of Big American
Loan NeededHSome Facts
Not Understood.

From n. Y. Evening Post Financial Bureau
LONDON, October 25.-The size of
our new loan in America is larger
| than expected. 1t is believed. how
| ever. that every penny will be re-
quired to meet various governmental
| commitments. To borrow was proba-
bly, the only sensible course. But
| many are severely criticising the loan
as savoring of artificial support of
exchange rates. Such critics maintain
| that at all costs repayment Of our ma
turing loan should have been made out
Of American resources.
1t is not believed in conservative
quarters here that either your specu-
| lation in stocks or our own is 1usti-
fed. Naturally. however. the high

capital appreciation rather than for
i dividend income.

tainty as to what disposition the
treasury is making of the dollar Sc
curities" borrowed from English hold
ers to facilitate our payments in
America early in the war. Except
where the loans for which these Sc
curities are pledged as collateral are
dollar securities given as a pledge re-
main in the treasurers hands.
National Finances Considered.
Attention is at present concentrated
on the national finances.
| Possibly there will be no actual au-
tumn budget, though recently it was
expected that the chancellor would
submit such document. Instead
there may be a supplementary balance
sheet with a statement from the

with revenue and expenditures meet
ing without borrowing:
This, however, means increased taxa
ton. and present indications suggest
the possibility of a further drastic
retroactive tax on war profits. The
principal danger lies in Lloyd Georges
desire, for further prodigal expendi-
ture for housing and sother social
schemes. This might conceivably lead
ton lest parliament refuse to grant
monetary powers for such schemes
Larger Credits offered.
| Abandonment of special rates paid on
deposifS 0f foreign money at the Bank
Of England necessarily increases the
amount Of credits in the market, because
under the previous arrangements bal
ances could be withdrawn on three days
notice.
Consequently it was impossible that
the whole amount should go into treas
ury bills But while money is abun-
dant. long discount rates are likely to
harden further.
Belgium is apparently borrowing both
in America and England. but reports in
regard to this are curiousiy conflict
ing. The recent rally in French ex-
change was in sympathy with the better
news from Russia. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the francs must fall further,
while the dollar appreciates on funda-
mental conditions.
