number of folk begin to buy stock,
not because they think it is worth
the price they pay, nor to hold Cor
the dividend, but simply in the hope
of being able to sell to somebody
else at still higher prices. The pur
chasing is almost wholly on margin.
The buying Of automobile stocks
had recently been of this sort. rhe
spectators did not buy stocks, but
prices, and as prices might 60 the
other way, they thought to protect
themselves by placing "stop-loss

stocks If the price goes down to the

The presence of a large amount
Of stop-loss orders In a market In,
dcates the presence of large
amount of gambling. The stop-loss
order is wrong In principle. If a
stock Is bargain at 100, it Is sure
ly more Of bargain at 98, unless
there has been some special news
or development to affect its value.
But the precise purpose Of the stop
loss order Is to sell regardless Of
news developments. This inhecent
illogic of the stop-loss order has
nothing to do with the danger II
creates for a stock market in pro-
portion as it's use becomes wide
spread. Then the market is an
easy prey to attack.

ON
WHEAT BILL
Proposition to Guarantee Price to
Farmers, is Denounced as
Piece of Vicious Legis-
Iation.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. f.
Gates. OF the Chicago board of trade,
today told the house agriculture
committee that he regarded the ST.
25O, OUO, 900 bill to guarantee wheat
prices to farmers of the country as
a piece of vicious legislation"
1T is SO vicious that if the bust
ness interests possessed full know
ledge of it's character, or had any
idea that it was likely to pass in Its
present form, the temporary build
ings erected near the capitol would
not be large enough to accommodate
the men from every part of the coun-
try who would camp here to protest
it." said Gates. The bill was drafted
by VIM. A Glasgow, of the food adj
ministration, and has been submitted
to the chairmen of the senate and
house agriculture committees.
A. e. Reynolds, Charlottesville, In
diana. representing the Grain Deal
ers National association said that
the guarantee to the farmers for
the 1919 wheat crop should be made
good"
Reynolds and others of his asso
ciates agreed with Gates that the pen
ding bill in it's present form is object
ionable. They were in accord, howev
er, in the belief that the government
should live UP to its agreement in re
gard to the guaranteed price.
Blanchard Randall, Baltimore, 8
grain exporter, said there was wide
difference Of opinion in regard to what
methods the government should adop!
in CARVING out its program
Chairman Lever of the agricultural
committee, said that the members will
not pledge to support the measure anG
may possibly frame bill that will diff
fer from 1t materially.
1--WE have several propositions il
view" said Lever. "One is the restor
alton Of pre-war conditions. Another
is to promote the grain corporation t.
continue its jurisdiction and a third
plan suggested is the government IL
censing of wheat exports and imports.
