LABOR AND PRICE
WAR HIT MARKET
Conservative Financial Cir
cIes Not Sorry for the
Decline.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE LOW
FOREIGN EXCHANGE LOW

NEW YORK, August 16.-Labor con-
ditions and other Indications OF social
unrest, notably the nationwide price
agitation. accounted mainly for the
further break in stock market prices
this week.
The decline was not unwelcome in
conservative financial circles, how
ever. since it had the effect of cor
recting to a considerable extent the
fictitious or unstable position OF many
of the more speculative issues.
Another factor which doubtless
would have given a check to bullish
operations on anything like the recent
scale was the complete collapse Of
foreign exchange. French and italian
rates fell to unprecedented discounts,
with fresh weakness in sterling re-
mittances.
Steps were taken during the week
to ameliorate conditions by the or
ganization Of the credit corporation.
whose chief function will be the plac-
ing of funds to meet foreign obliga-
tions in this market. 1t is generally
recognized. however, that readjust-
ment of exchange is well nigh impos-

Easy as to Call Loans.
The money market was unusually
easy as to call loans, supply most
often exec eding demand. but this con-
dition resulted more from reduced
stock dealings than from any more
important reason. Bankers, realize
that the money market will be put to
its severest test in the impending do
nestle and foreign demands.
Apart from the unSettlement created
by labor disturbances the industrial
situation was rather mixed. Better
conditions prevailed as to iron and
steel. in which greater production
was reported, while the leather and
textile Industries Were measurably at
fected by the high cost movement.
Growth of the campaign against
high living costs, which had its most
striking manifestations in food seiz-
modify prices, also served to under
mine the list, the impairment en-
bracing many high-c issues.

Prepared to Do Greater Work.

This is the first time tho univer-
sity has turned to her sons as a
whole. The dear old mother is sitting
there ready to do a greater work
than she has ever done, for the coun-

Carthage was a great commercial
power. She was the mistress Of the
Mediterranean, but she has left abso-
lutely nothing in thought. Of which
we are aware, of any consequence to
affect the progress Of mankind.
There was another maritime power,
not 50 large, not SO powerful, that
also was overcome by Rome. but that
place has stamped itself upon the
civilization of the whole world in
such q way that we cannot think
apart from the thoughts Of Athens.
eat the present day America has
her choice as to whether she will be a
Carthage or an Athens in the future

ply a great commercial nation, or we
can make ourselves one of the great
leaders of thought in the world.
