A Professional Opinion

Speaking of the copper stocks. a
Broadway Stock Exchange house has
this to say: off over-expanded credits
are not followed by general liquida-
ton, it will be something new in the
worlds history. and the attractiveness
of coppers, which is for the long pull
rather than for the moment, is that
thhaeiir liquidation has already gone
very far toward completion Even the
question of dividends is perhaps less
important to the patient than the fact
that copper shares always come back.
They are bound to do so because cop
per is one of the chief materials of IN
dustrial expansion. While we see no
promise of immediate speculative
profits in these stocks, we believe that
they are cheaper than the majority Of
other industrials, that from the pres
ent time until the general over-expan-
sion Of credit is corrected they will
decline less both in points and per-
centages."

German Exchange as a Speculation

Is mark exchange cheap specula-
tion?. A lot of people who are willing
to take chance would like to know
In fact. there has been and still is
considerable speculation in exchange on
Berlin. Marks at ~ cents apiece look
to be on the bargain counter when they
are compared with their normal gold
parity of $50 cents. But bankers will
say that the risk involved in the pur-
chase of marks for speculation is great.
because there is strong possibility
that in ne course of time the new re-
gime in Germany will cancel the war
time paper money and put out new cur
rency based on different gold value
for the mark.

Salt Water

Wall Streets little group Of amateur
biologists had something to bite on
yesterday when one Of the news tickers
printed story to the effect that the
Mexican Petroleum's Juan Casiano No,
7 gusher, that has spouted 100 900 900
barrels of oil since it was brought in
in 1910, is running per cent salt
water. Not long ago one of the Mex
lean Eagle wells completely stopped
gushing petroleum and went to produc
ing salt water The comment around
the street with regard to the Casiano
No: was that it had done pretty we'll
in its life of nearly ten years, and had
earned a pension. What the oil geolo-
gists have been worrying about with
regard to the Mexican fields is the pos
sibility that all of the big producers
there might eventually go to salt water.
The theory is held by some biologists
that the oil pools there float on salt
water, and with the exhaustion of the
petroleum supply in a given area the
salt water begins to come up. It is
stated that Mexican Petroleum's Cerro
Azul No. 4 WE'LL the biggest in the
world, which started with an initial
flow of 275,o00 barrels a day, has
shown no signs of salt water.

prospect. Yesterday Northern Pacific

teed, but which is obtained from
sources believed to be reliable" indi-
Gates that the road has a small we'll on

"What Do You Think Of the Market7"
A bank officer: ut would be rash to
assume that because Of the moderate
improvement in security prices this
week the way Is open to resumption
of wild speculation. The market was
due for something Of rebound from
the decline. Personally, don't think
for some weeks. As to next year, it
would be foolish to try to predict what
the course of prices will be. 1t must
be kept in mind, however, that prop
erty values back Of stocks are much
greater than ever BEFORE"
Sugars Lead
Professional traders concentrated
their efforts on the sugar stocks yes
terday, and that accounted in large
measure for the shifting of interest
from the oils into that group. Cuba
Cane Sugar common was easily the big
show in the short session. When it
crossed 81 it got the nearest it has in
long while to the levels at which
many folks loaded up with the common
early in the life Of the concern. Buy
ing Of the stock came largely from So
called "insiders," the Street heard, and
was based on the sensational rise in
the price Of raw sugar in Cuba. A
week or so ago raw Cuban sugar was
selling around cents a pound f. o. b.
the island. To-day it is 10A cents a
pound T. o. b. Cuba for delivery from

RUSSIA

LLOYD George thinks that Russia must solve her own domes-
tic problems, and bring about some sort of order before any
thing can be done for her. This should be discouraging to
Russians. They have Lenine and Trotzky in place of the late
car, and this sorry pair Of despots seems to be the best they can
dc. The allies have not recognized them, and are not likely to,
but as there seems to be no hope OF dethronlng them, Russia IS
in a bad way, and must continue in a state of unrest.
The Bolsheviki have murdered or driven off every man Of
ability belonging to the old regime, and among the new forces
there seems to be no one but adventures like Lenine and
Trotzky, whose ends are personal. Russia has the land, the
food and the climate to become a great nation, No deblitating
malaria there. The air is pure and the people are healthy. They
are good workers and can raise an abundance of food, and with
these advantages should soon become capable of governing
themselves, They can never do SO under such leadership as that
OF Lenine. He wants to destroy all existing forms of govern
mcnt the world over and make Bolshevism universal. If he
sought merely to destroy privilege we could all join him; but
governments, no matter how imperfect they may be. must be
preserved. They represent such civilization as we have after
d struggle of several thousand years, The vice Disrael
observed: Assassination has never changed the history Of the
world" But Leniue and Trotzky believe that assassination is
the only open thoroughfare of progress, and will have no other
The problem is a knotty one, and how to solve it is giving

When Muscovite cunning and Cossack and kurd cruelty are
turned loose to do their worst, woe to the people There is one
mitigating circumstance, and only one: such lives as the people
are leading at this time would not be much to lose, and the loser
would-be the gamer.
The Russians would not let the Ronanofi dynasty govern
them, and they must govern themselves or submit to adven-
