RECENT REVERSAL
 EXCEED LIMITS
 OF SAFETY, BELIEF
Further Sporadic Selling of Motors, Shippings, Leathers and Food Shares De-
 veIops Yesterday
By Associated Press

New York;, Cept 20-Variable recover ies in the stock market today were att tributed not so much to any change of technical conditions as to an impression that the recent reversal had exceeded the hints of safety.
 This at least seemed to be the con- clusion reached by a considerable faction of the professional element who covered or took profits in the course of today s session, especially in some of the more stable leaders, notably rails and oils.
 There was further sporadics selling of motors and their subsidiaries and also shippings, feathers and foods shares. Some of these issues added 1 to points to recent declines on fairly large ofer- ings and indifferent support.
 Rumors and board room gossip dealt mainly with industrial conditions and their relation to existing market values. Emphasis was given to this phase Of the situation by additional cutting of auto mobile prices and further signs of re- duced activity in many branches of that industry.
 Stels, equipments, and associated shares were less cratic, but the opinions voiced by trade authorities were mostly to the effect that new business continued dis appointingly small. Similar reports 1s- sued from the metal trade, accompanied by intimations of private price conces- sions.
 Among rails, the usual eros currents were again operative, strength and acti- vity being confined to low prices coalers and grangers, also cotton carriers, whiie representative transportation moved with- in relatively narrow groove, exceptihs the transcontinental division.
 Successful flotation of the $2O,UOo,Wo loan to the government Of NorWay strengthened exchange to that and other north European countries but other re- mittances were barely steady, the Parls rate reacting
 Liberty bonds contributed very large proportion at irregular prices to the day heavy trading in bonds. Foreign issues were again featured by United Kingdoms of 1897, at a further advance of points Total sales par value aggregated $2, eoo,OOO old United States bonds wer un- changed on call.

speeding and reckless driving are on the increase, judging from the mum Der of automobile accidents during the past few months All traffic regula- tons should be enforced and heavy fine should be imposed on persons guilty of this offense. Additional of- ficers should be stationed in the va rious sections of the city where this practice is most frequent and if the same person is arrested for the sec ond time the fine should be increased and licenses cancelled, if this couid be done.
 q have noticed very many drivers passing street cars with the gates open and on several occasions l nave nau narrow escapes by stepping off the car at my home and having speedlns ears pass as I do so. The city snouio make drastic efforts to put a stop 10 this practice"

 New York. September 2s-The local market for raw sugar was weaK ana about % cent lower for full duty sugars on sales of 1000 bags in port at S% eff. There were no sales on c,has hut they were offered at 9 cents cost and freight, equal to lo'oo for centrifugals. There was nothing new in the refined situation. and prices were unchanged at IA cents for tlne granulated. There was no increase noted in the demand and secondhand snoars are still available at below refiners' quotations.
 The weakness in raws lead to fur ther scattered selling in sugar futures and prices were lower, closing at 20 10 34 points decline. Trading was quite active and the selling included houses lswith Cuban connections and local trade interests while the buying seemed to be principally short cover ing.

WALTER BRowER

"In my opinion one of the most effective ways of stopping speeding and reckless driving will be to require stand an examination before they may secure a license. Teachers of our state must stand an examination before they secure license to teach the children O. the state and yet no restrictions are placed on automobile drivers which are daily killing people. Whether the vehicle is private or for commercial purposes all drivers should have a li- cense. This would, in my opinion, greatly decrease the number of acci- dents, fox then only persons competent of passing the examination would be allowed to drive. If such was the case and they are arrested for these of lenses then their licenses should be cancelled"

COTTON MARKET IS MARKEDLY VIOLENT

 the recent severe decline was in evidenes from the start. First prices were U 30 points higher and while the south was a conSid. rable seller, the market con tinued to improve until active positions showed net gains of 65 to 1l5 points. Oc- tober was relatively easy on this move ment although only six notices were re- ported in circulation and the advance Ill the later months met increased offerings which suggested continued pressure oi spots in the south This caused declines
 as soon as the early demand had beeh satisfied and some months made new low ground for the movement on a late forenoon break which carried December

 The threat of the storm in the gulf and bullish private crop reports led 10 re' newed covering on this level of prices however. and the market firmed up aSa.n with October leading the advance. Shorts evidently found few near month con tracts offerings and later months soip into new high ground for the day Wi.n i December touching 23.0, and JanuaIs y l 22,25, or 40 to 160 points net higher.

'.Enforcing the traffic regulations with a comparatively small police force ana fifty square miles of territory to cover, is no small problem," said Charles L. Harold. Speeding without regard to the life, property or rights of others mas therefore become a menace to the pup lie safety and the most common form of law breaking in which we indulge in these days of high-powered motor cars.
 .yarv few people seems to think of the fact that every time they go down city street about twice as fast as they are entitled to under the law tney are infringing on the rights or over 17S, 900 others. ,...
 saThe only remedy for this condition, which menaces our peace of mind ana safety, is to increase the number or policemen and arouse in the lndlVldual citizen a feeling of personal responsi- hility for the graveness of the situa- tion.''
