CHARTERED while volunteers are trying

Governor Gardner gave out a brief

Business and Finances

New York, Aug. l6.-Between the
e-st week in February and the CORES
bonding period IN August, the aver
age price OF the industrial stock list
of the New York Stock Exchange ad-
Uanced SO points. This is an extra
ordinary record, and emphasizes more
clearly than by any other method the
charitable activity in the stock mar
vet since the turn in the year.
Rut since the middle OF July the
heavy wave of liquidation, induced en-
t;relv by uneasiness over the financial
and economic outlook, has subtracted
over II points from the advance re
ferred TO above. elimination of this
foundation was caused by the amazing
demand of the railroad brotherhoods,
being no less a proposal than the con-
f;scation of railroad property for the
benefit of labor and politicians who
are its advocates for their own ends.
Verv little time and effort was needed
TO show the average man that the
"Plumb plan" was proposal tor the
most audacious grab by the union
railroad men at the expense of the
rest of the country, and OF other work
men in the country, that has yet been
devised.
II can now been seen that the liqui-
dation process which has been taking
Mace since the middle of July has in
reality been one of the most thorough
shakeouts that Wall street has had in
the war period. AS rule margin &C
counts have been we'll protected, but
the abruptness of the recent decline
has uncovered many accounts and
forced them into the sellers column
before anything could be done after
the cause of events. The following
list of prices of active stocks illustrates
the extent of the July decline:
