Bankers Take Steps
To Preuent Panic
Fina1,ciers Realize That
Federal Board Means
to Check Speculation

While there appeared to be no alarm
tic liquidation in the speculative secur-
tiles market and in cotton, informal
conferences took place during the
course of the day. At the conferences
the credit situation was thoroughly
discussed and it is understood the
bankers considered ways and means
tentatively at least for meeting the
situation should it get out Of hand.
The head of large banking insti-
tuition in Wall Street when asked what
he thought about the break in the mar
ket, retorted with the question:
"Well, it was coming to the market
wasn't it., after the speculative ex-
cesses of recent weeks ?"
r. There was general realization in
financial circles that the Federal Re
serve Board means business this time
in its effort to check the growing>spec-
ulation in securities, commodities, real
estate and anything that offers the OPP
portunity to make a turn. and that the
banks in following out this policy of
the central banking mentors of the
country will keep money rates at high
levels until the desired amount of liqui-
daton of loans made for speculation
has been forced.
Borrowing Limit Nearly Reached
1t also was pointed out again yester-
day that the banks have about reached
the end of their rope SO far as bor-
rowing at the Federal Reserve Bank
and it is imperative for their own well
fare that they force a pairing down of
speculative loans. SO far as possible
nothing will be done to interfere with
the normal flow of credit into legiti-
mate business enterprises, it was made
clear in authoritative quarters.
The fall of stock prices since the lat
ter part of last week already has re-
suited in a material reduction in the
speculative loan account, it devel-
! oped Yesterday.

Some Rediscounting Reported
The Strong Points

A few stocks stood the storm OF
selling yesterday without being shaken,
but they were rare, indeed. Movements
against the general current Of prices
were so exceptional that the rise of
almost five points i'll American Smelt-
ing and Refining common in the fore
noon presented a striking contrast.
Smelters certainly lived up to its repu-
tation as peculiar actor. A week or
so ago when the general market was
booming along at great rate with in
dustral stocks rising to new record
levels Smelters suddenly went into
decline that broke the price several
points within two days. At the time
the Street was told unofficially that
the dividend would be passed. It was
generally known that the dividend had
not been earned. Such rumors fur
nished the basis for active selling Of
the stock short. Last week the direc-
tors came along, and, contrary to ex-
pectation, declared the usual quarterly
dividend. Some of the shorts ran to
cover and the rest were badly fright
ened yesterday when Smelters failed to
join the downward procession. 1t closed
at net gain sof 3s, at 681a, after sell
ing up to 1878.

Plans for Housing
Curb Are Approved

Plans of the Stock Exchange author
tiles to house the New York Curb were
definitely approved by the governing
board at a meeting. Yesterday. The
report Of spec.ai committee ap-
pointed last July to investigate tbs
feasibility Of placing the Broad Street
open air market under roof was in
dorsed under certain regulations that
will conform to the rules Of the "big
board"
The curb market, as it is to be con-
stituted under the jurisdiction of the
Stock Exchange, will probably have as
joining the exchange on the south
west corner of Wall and Broad
Streets. The lower floor of this build
ing now houses the banking firm Of
Kidder, Peabody & Co., and until
their lease expires it is likely that
temporary indoor quarters will be pro-
vided for the market. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the exchange to erect new
building on the Wall and Broad Streets
site which was purchased few months
ago.
Leading members of The Curb Mar
ket Association have approved the
plan of the Stock Exchange to place
the outdoor market under roof I'm
der the plan having this in view mem-
bers of the curb in good standing will
be admitted to membership in the
new curb" in addition to the rep
resentatiycs Of Stock Exchange firms
who are now members of the Curb
Market Association. In the belief of
some this will result in continuation
of the Broad Stree. market bv those
who will not be admitted to thu in

u. S. Seeks to Check
Speculation abroad,
Is Gossip in London

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The suggestion
Of another advance in the bank rate
caused a break to-day in gilt edged
securities and recently active specu-
lative issues. Although Lombard
Street was disposed to the belief that
no further advance would take place
in view of the serious effect upon le-
gltimate trade, the gossip was that
America was putting pressure to bear
on the authorities in an endeavor to
check speculation while such huge
debt IS owing to the United States
The s per cent rate admittedly has
been ineffective in checking specula-
ton or in bringing in as much money
I as had been anticipated

Gobs of Gloom in Wall Street

1t would have been difficult to find a
gloomier place than Wall Street after
the close of yesterdays memorable
stock market. Those who have been
emphasizing the great asset value Of
Republic Steel, Baldwin Locomotive,
Crucible Steel and other speculative
favorites, giving this as a reason for
their high selling prices. We're silent.
There had been no real changes affect
ing the financial condition of companies,
but there were none to herald that fact.
Such is the way of Wall Street. "When
they're up they think they're going
higher, and when they're down they
think they are going lower"

Break May Help Bonds

While the bond market is described
S who are pretty close to the saps
in that particular department of the
security markets, predictions were
made yesterday that the sharp fall in
speculat tive issues on the exchange
would have the effect of bringing in q
better demand for investment securi-
ties. This, it was pointed out, is
usually one of the collateral effects of
a stock market break. A great element
of psychology enters into it, as the col
lapse in stock prices tends to cause
people with surplus funds for employ
ment to seek something more stable.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-13
Railroad Bond Market Weak

The bond market, which has been
dull during the big speculation in
stocks, did not fail to reflect yester
days precipitate fall on the Stock Ex
change. Although the declines we're bv
no means as sensational as those in
stocks, they nevertheless We're sub
stantlal. FOR example, bond men re-
ported that Erie general ljen 4s dronnoa
from 4s to 46, B. & o. Southwest1ern
3 12 from 1875 to 7S and B. E. O. con.
vertible 5s from 93l4 to S21s. Of course
the Southern Pacific convertible IS
broke with the stock, which closed at
104, off 312 points.

In Wall Street
"What Do You Think of the Market"

w Udt UC lou IulHh VI eHC "A"'"~~'
A bank presidents: II think the
drastic liquidation Of the last two days
in the stock market has done much to
correct the loan situation. Loans by
Tow must have been substantially re-
duced from the inflated levels of pre-
vious weeks. Accordingly, the technical
condition Of the stock market must
have been materially improved, al
though ] do not look for any pro-
longed continuation Of whatever re-
covery in prices may take place"
Some Rediscounting Reported
Brokers on the floor Of the Stock
Echange who keep close tabs on the
money situation declared that yester-
days acute stringency would proba bly,
have been much worse had not the
banks resorted to considerable
amount Of rediscounting at the Re-
serve Bank. At the end Of the day,
however, it was believed that the Re-
serve Banks reserve against gold was
considerably higher than was reported
last Saturday, when it was seen it was
down close to the statutory limit. Re
ports that money was in good supply
on the floor of the exchange at the
I'igh rates Of the day were denied. In
some banking quarters it was predicted
that rates would not go much higher.

afternoon began to advise the purchase
OF stocks IN the belief that a recovery
in prices Is due for technical reasons.

go further A considerable amount Of
scale buying was reported from these
quartArs. Stocks paying good dividends
were singled cut as likely to rally first.
In this list were included United States

Call for More Margin

Mails leading out of Wall Street last
night were swamped with hurry up
calls for more margin. Margin clerks
worked late into the night The sound
ness of the reasoning of brokerage
houses which have been compelling
traders to put up a much larger margin
of protection against their speculative
commitments was clearly demonstrated
by the violence of the decline. Thinly
margined accounts, if there were any,
were wiped out quickly. Bucket shops
reaped q great harvest from the top
ping of the speculative pyramid

Cotton Tumbles $40 a Bale

Over ON the Cotton Exchange the
forced closing out of speculative ac-
counts resulted in selling of enormous
volume under which prices tumbled
the full maximum of 200 points, or $40
a bale, allowed under the rules of the
Exchange.
When the closing bell rang it was
estimated that uneyecuted selling or
ders still in the hands of brokers
trades were at bottom prices. cotton
for delivery in January being 35.16
cents pound. The drastic measures
adopted by the banks to check specula-
ton in stocks were said to have been
applied with equal force to cotton.
Prices for basic cotton goods in
which there also has been active specu-
lation in recent weeks, dropped about
one-half a cent yard.

A Fine History Of the Rainbow Division

fight; on March it made its first raid, ON
March IL two officers and fifty men Of the
165th Infantry fought the Germans out Of
strong point and destroyed it. Then Ii
was booked for rest, but since the relief
never came it has been suggested that the
title Of the Rainbow Divisions story ought
to be "Rests We Never Got" From the
time the German offensive Of March 81
began until our army reached Sedan the
Rainbows never knew what rest was. Mr..
Tompkins tells stirringly Of its fighting:
before Chalons-sur-M arne-quite the best
account yet written Of this great battle;
in the Chateau hierry salient; at st.
Mihiel, and through the Argonne Forest
to Sedan. And the day of the armistice
found the Rainbow out of the line in the
region of Buzancy.
But that was only temporary respite
from hiking. Until November 20 it rested
at BrandeviIle, being equipped with new
uniforms the while and getting its trans
port into shape for the advance into Ger
many. For, as we read: "The German
army had planned to march into Paris
wearing brand new spiked helmets. The
Rainbow would march into Germany, all
in holiday duds. It had a terrible time
for a while, though, with its new pants.
Some muddled quartermaster had sent the
division lot Of clothes built for an army
of fat men, and the stuff had to be sent
back while the division waited" And as
the division went forward the country was
much like New England, much like
France, but with this difference:
"This was the other side of world that
The sun., 1919-09-07

had been divided for four years-divided
as though by great wall SO that neither
side could look over and see what the other
side was doing. Here, suddenly, was the
other side, disclosed to view mile by mile.
Exhilaration grew out Of this situation.
The foot soldiers felt it. On their backs
were the same heavy packs they had car
ried on night marches through rain and
mud toward morning that would bring
q battle-when no prospects stretched
before them but more night marches and
more battles, more rain and more mud.
But this was bright sunny daylight, and
there lay ahead good billets, sound sleep,
leisurely going the River Rhine. So
they were fine looking bunch as they
swarmed through the valleys and over the
hills-fresh faced, clear eyed, with pep
instead Of slog to their gait"
The attitude of the soldiers as to fra
ternizing with the German soldiers was
pretty well expressed by 90 little black
eyed soldier with curly black hair and
high curved nose" He said: @Tell yuh
what bet about those Goimans. Bet yuh
they've been told to try to get In good with
the American Army so people won't be-
lieve these stories about KILN >babies and
boinin' choiches. Well, they gotta do
somethin' more'n bow to get m good with
me- Cap'n says don't frat-nize with 'em
and y amt going to see me frat-nizin'."
