their business almost entirely sus-
pended and are compelled to send
postal cards to customers notifying
them that shipments cannot be made.
Hundreds of millions Of dollars
worth of commodities of all kinds
have been started from sellers TO
byers and are piled up along the side
tracks of the country where they are
bankabie assets for neither buyer nor
seller.
The business credit OF the coun-
T try has been decreased just so much
and the federal reserve board banks
instead of recognizing this situa ton
| and making allowances for it have
selected this particular time to in
mercial credits. The beleagued bus
mess man must maintain his stand
ing at his bank SO he is forced to
sacrifice his stocks and bonds.
1t is astonishing that the stock
market has been so orderly under
these adverse. circumstances. The
reason for the stability is that the
country is extremely rich and there
exists an unsat isfied demand for
more goods than can he produced in
three years even If everybody went
to work.
Put an end to parades and the
drives for money and the country
will be alright and the market will

BY settling the STUFF fight the
New York stock exchange has proved
once more that a contract made on
the floor of that exchange is inovil-
able The settlement will help the
stock market materially by cutting
off the flood of reform measures

The real truth OF the StutZ corner
has not been published. II is be-
lieved in Wall streets that the raid
was made by some big interest that
split the sales UP into small lots in
the hope of copcealng its identity.
Mr. RYAN apparently discovered the
real raider and by so doing has con-
ferred a great favor on Wall street
and has made il safer TO invest in.
