MARKET HES|TATES,
DECLARES CLEWS
Is Hampered by Prospective
Tight Money; Bank State
ment Encourages.

Henry Clews & Co. in their weeks
summary of the stock market say
The stock market during the weak
was one of hesitation due to labor
troubles, especially those which fndi.
Gated a possible strike by the en-
ployes of the steel companies and the
situation made the stocks of these
companies erratic in their price
changes. One hour it was believed
there would be no strike. The next
hour strike was almost certain 20
take place. The latest news ind1-
Gates that the radical element in tho
conference is in the majority and will
be able to bring about a temporary
| cessation of work in many. and pos
sibly all. of the large steel mills.
Those in a position to know are con.
union have not outside backing and
that if they succeed in forcing
stoppage of work they hope to compel
President Wilson to come to their
aid. Public opinion is against them
in trying to force an issue now, in
conference in Washington on Octo-
Der 6. There is no question that the
situati is critical one and may bc-
fraught with serious consequences.
More Confidence Seen.
'1t is well known the market has
been hampered for some time past
through the fear of prospective tight
money during the crop-moving period,
but last Saturdays bank exhibit
showing surplus reserves of $46s-
100000 is calculated to strengthen
the confidence of the investing pub
lie in the value of securities at, go-
ing prices.
ITO be sure a number of specialties
have been marked up to extreme
heights which seem incomprehensf-
BILE, but owing to the fact that tho
floating supply of these stocks -
kept comparatively small it is not a
difficult matter for those on the inside
to mark prices up to any hguH3e
they choose.
There may be money still in buy-
ing some of these stocks for. QUICK
turns. but it goes without saying
that they are risky propositions ana
require careful watching. But the
railroad shares, especially the dit~
idend issues, are beginning to l0ek
cheap again. In all probability wnen
the railroad situation is earnestiy
taken up by Congress a compoette
bill of some sort out OF the meny
which have been introduced Will pe
passed which will protect the secur-
ity holders Market sentiment on tne
street is divided at the present time
but the preponderence OF opinioe
seems to favor picking up the goCo
dividend stocks when onered at con-
cessions.

NJ. Klotz, French minister of finance,
has introduced into the chamber pro-
posal for a provisional vote Of credit to
cover the cost Of civil services for the
fourth quarter Of the year.
The amount involved is 5,767. 100000
francs ($1.113.031. .000). a reduction of
1,200, ,0O0, 900 francs 1921 600, ,000), as com
pared with the third quarter. Military
credits for the same period will
amount to 2.9S4,000. 600 francs ($575.-
912.00O), a reduction of $4,000. 900
francs ($162. SOC, ,000). on the last quar-
ter. The reductions are principally
on account OF pay and maintenance of
the troops and material and are due
to rehabilitation.
iseThe aggreSate. total for the whole
year asked for IN votes on account
under the heading of exceptional ex-
penditure is lower by 1859, ,000. .0o0

Press for Direct Routing.

Richmond next pressed for direct
routing, insisting that Charleston
should mail items direct to Columbia
and vice versa, requesting acknowl-
edgement OF the account to Richmond
and the reserve bank erediting Charles
ton in the reserve account.
Elsewhere and throughout the en-
tire district efforts to lessen the
'.noat" were made by this direct rout-
ing. Efforts to extend this system
into other districts were met with de-
mands for exchange charges that pre-
vented its adoption.
Richmond was ahead Of the sched-
ule, but, on the theory the saving OF
time Is a most important item. eco
nomically, 1T was a sound method of
progressing-the direct interchange.
That checks calling for large sums
Of money should be sent by round
about routes and not the shortest dis
tance between cities would be folly
andendanger the loss of much money,
while at the same time extending the

The News ScImltar's Special coFfss


, ABOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, Sept. l1.-More sim
lister than political chaos abroad Is the
menace Of Industrial revolution, more
vital to America in a mere choice as be-
tween foreign policies is the prospect Of
trying to do business with a Europe in
disorder. financially feeble and physical
ly decrepit. That Is the new tack on
which President Wilson launched as he
passed through Minnesota and the
Dakotas. For there where foodstuffs
are produced to feed the world the peo-
pie are interested in foreign markets
and. the ability Of foreign countries to
pay for their purchases.
The president sought in his speeches
at Sioux Falls and before the Minnesota
legislature TO show that the cost Of
living Is related to the disturbed eco
nomic situation OF Europe and that the
economic turmoil in Europe cannot be
quieted until the people there know
what kind OF a peace Is to ensue and
who Is TO guarantee it and finally, the
president insisted that Europe cannot
tell the immediate direction of her trade
winds and welfare until she knows
whether or not the United States means
TO assist her or stand aloof.
Mr.. Wilson did not need to make an
analytical argument for the league Of
nations or treaty Of peace In this re-
ingly In favor Of the idea. II reserva-
lions do not mean textual amendments
then there Is no particular objection to
them. As between o league without
reservations and no league at all, the
people would vote an unqualified cove
nant But they will follow Senator
Knute Nelson on that point.
