Of the fre zone were again startled
yesterday when an incendiary fire
destroyed the three-story brick build

a loss Of between 100000 and 100000.
William Pentelos, proprietor Of one

property. Weakness OF Smelling to-
day had an unfavorablc sympathetic
effect on the rest ~ the copper group,
end almost without exception they
registered fractional recessiOns.
Weakness OF Crueible failed TO un-
fnvorably effect the rest Of the steel
group and neither did the weakness OF
Atlantic Gulf affect other shipping
shares. II could not be said that
there was any pronounced increase In
buying power, but there was increas-
ing evidence of a scarcity of stocks.
This scarcity Of stocks was particu-
larly noticeable In the rails. II needed
only a comparatively small volume Of
buying to cause advance of a point or
more. Reading at one time showed
an advance Of two points. There is
considerable speculative buying Of
this stock in anticipation Of an an
nOuncemont Of plan OF segregation
next week.
Ono reason for current market dull
ness Is easily understood. There Is a
huge short interest in the market. II
probably amounts 20 not less than a
million shares. These shorts have
built up tremendous paper profits. But
they are reluctant 20 convert these
paper profits into cash, for the reason
that II they do 20 before the end OF
tho year they wtr have 20 turn over
the bulk Of their profits 10 the Govern
menE
Rather than do this they arc con-
tent 10 wait until after the first Of
the year before buying In the stocks
they are short OF. even u they have
10 pay higher prices for them. They
figure that any such higher prices
they may bo forced 20 pay will not
cut into their paper profits as much
as income taxes would.
Money to-day continued 10 rule at

decidedly weak, with all options max

were slightly lower. Foreign ex-

much about II. His concern. he said
had never seriously considered the
field OF foreign-born wage earners as
ono Offering possibilities OF profit.
An outline Of the evils that The
Evening World has discovered In It's
investigation OF the exploitation o.
immigrants moved the banker TO ex-
pressions of astonishment. He is
very prominent in "AmericaniEation"
movements, served as an ofhcer with
the A. T.. +. in France and elsewhere
In Europe, and is supposedly in close
touch with conditions abroad.
He sent TO the newspaper file room
OF the bank and gathered all the
articles The Evening World has pub
lished on the subject. He looked over
some exhibits which The Evening
World has gathered, but which are
not yet in shape for publication. and
his wonder grew.
"It appears to me-" he said, finally,
"that It Is UP to the responsible banks
TO do something about this matter. ]
am afraid that the lack of confidence
in American institutions which
prompts immigrants TO deal eNclu-
sively with people Of their own blood
is a symptom that menaces the well
being of the nation. Give me day
or two for consultation with officers
of this bank and with officers of other
banks and think we will be in shape
to suggest something.
/ Certainly, II the foreign born peo-
pie OF New York and elsewhere have
learned thai sending money TO starv-
ing relatives in Europe Is a gamble
II Is up to the banking interests to
show them that they can either send
money safely or they can save their
money when It cannot be sent safely.
The moro think about this thing
the bigger It looks TO me-"
The banker was interested In the
news that tho Bank Of Naples, which
has branches in this and other cities
transmitted 20 the home bank In
Naples, italy, during the first nine
/ months OF this year $780, 74l, 900, mostly
in rcmittances Of less than 500 and
practically all in remittances Of less
than $780, During the corresponding
period in 1919 .he remittances TO the
Bank OF Naples amounted to only
So, 600, 900.
THIS one bank handles but a trifiing
part Of the vast sums that are sent
to Europe American banks end trust
companies which have sough. and at
tracted the custom of the foreign born
have found the business profitable
and they have also found that the
