MARKET COLLAPSE
HAS NO MYSTERY
Slump Outcome of Reckless
Pool Manipulation and lg-
noring Caution Signals

II was moving day In Wall street ana
the market community took an extra
holiday today and banished from their
minds until Monday morning the aliur-
ing siren song Of the stock ticker. Ihey
may have forgotten about the ticker
but every one interested, big and little,
are giving a more serious thought con-
cerning the market and its future than
at any other time in the annals OF the
Street. This is partly because more
people are interested in stock market
affairs today than ever before. lt is
also due to the mental confusion which
seems to pervade every nook and corner
Of the market world. The market Is
harder to read today than at any time
since the great bull and bear game
started. This Is admitted by some OF
the shrewdest experts on the street.
Under such circumstances, the unex-
perienced layman stands poor show
Of making what is popularity called a
lucky strike.
The recent drastic fall in security
prices has tended to intensity the men
tai confusion OF the market world. In
every nook and corner one is confronted
with the constant interrogation, What
| is Wall street discounting?' No one,
as yet, has been able to give a clear
and satisfactory explanation. 1t is
widely believed the eye OF the market
has detected in the financial horizon a
speck, not yet visible to the naked eye,
that does not portend good for either
the financial or business world. Every =
body seems to agree the market is
slowly drifting into troubled waters. In
fact, there are many observers who
claim to have found close analogy be-
tween the recent market movements
and that Of early movements which pre-
ceded the violent collapse OF the 1907
market. There is also increasing talk
to the effect that the crest of pros
perity has been reached in most lines
of business, but it is doubtful IL the
recent slump in security values has
not already pretty we'll discounted the
immediate outlook from this angle OF
the general situation.
A certain element has been untiring
In its efforts to create an air of mys
terry in connection with the collapse OF
the speculative structure. Events oi

.BARNEGAT LIGHT
CAN YET Be SAVED
Few Thousand Dollars VIII
Guard Beacon Doomed With
First Hard Storm
400 FOOT JETTY NEEDED

few thousand dollars will save the
Barnegat Light. which Is in immediate
danger Of falling in the first hard storm
that sweeps that section, Of the coast,
since the keepers dwellings. which pro-
tected it. have been sold and are being
razed. thus exposing the foundations of
the light tower.
When the light goes the government
Is planning to raise an appropriation
of a half million dollars to establish a
lightship service to take its place.
Forty thousand dollars was spent last
year in the building of n small pro
tective wall placed on mattresses, >
which was destroyed by the February
storm.
The suggestion has been made TO the
bureau that to erect another and larger
wall for this purpose the expense would
exceed 81 100000. The government
however. can make no appropriation
for the Barnegat Light until next year.
IL then. by which time the subject under
discussion will doubtless have been
swept away. il is said. should any Sc
we're storm arise
1t has been demonstrated by expert
encc elsewhere that the building Of two
hooked ietties, one on each side of the
light. will not only safeguard the struc
ture. but will result in the rapid build
ing Of n protective beach for hundreds
Of feet around the tower and the az
tached buildings. which must be de-
molished within three weeks.
About 400 feet Of jetty in all would
suffice. and few thousand dollars
would mean the saving of this first
order" light and at least a half million
for the government.
The Barnegat light has a range OF
twenty two miles across the bag as
we'll ms offshore. 1t sccomplishes the
work that lightship of half the range
could not do at twice the expense OF
operation. The present light is not
only guide to ships outside. but a
great means of safety TO the bay fish
ermen. and yachtsmen on the interior
waterways of New Jersey.
Although there are fewer than hun =
dred all-year round residents of the
region at Barnegat City, they are
making every effort to raise part
Of the money necessary from their
limited resources to preserve the pres =
ent tower So essential to commerce.
They are practically all fishermen. bay
sailors or rurveyors with their families
and know the immense protection and
need of tho light at this inlet, on such
a treaCherous coast.

ASPHALT HAS GOOD YEAR
company's Gross Profits Were 50,
3tt,37o, With S1,t66,3t5 Net

The General Asphalt Co., in it's annual
report for last year. shows a gross busi-
ness of sl4,755,6lo. from which the gross
profits were s2,S11,S7o. After all de-
ductions, tho net earnings available for
dividends we're s1,1ss,315. or the equiva-
lent of s3o5 share on the common
stock after providing for preferred dis
bursements The net for dividends Is
practically the same as in the preceding
year. when the amount available for this
purpose was s1,1sS,207.
The report does not go extensively into
oil operations. but deals at great length
with road building conditions. Lack OF
improved roads, IL Is asserted, Is causing
an annual wastage Of over $500, 900, 900
yearly on 100000 miles OF surveyed
public highways, outside of the ,corpor-
ate limits of cities, Of which approx.
mately per cent are dirt. In some
instances II s asserted that road build
ing plans are being held In allegiance
pending a more propitious time for the
sale Of bonds from which public i'm
provements are to be paid. A vast
amount Of road building is, nevertheless,
said to be in progress at the present
time.

GRAIN MARK EFT

Chicago, May 1.--Improved weather
for farm work tended today to give
some advantage to bears in the corn
market. Tightness Of money counted
also as n depressing factor. Trade,
however. was mostly in small lots and
there was but little hindrance to raj
lies. Opening quotations, which ranged
from u cent to 4 cents lower with
July ST "a to 81 1.6ih, and September
S1.57 to ISIS, were followed by up
turns all around.
Oats, like corn. were eased somewhat
by sunshine and warmth. After opening
q lower to 1sc advance, including July
at SSLc TO SsSsc. the market hardened
a little.
Heavy deliveries on May contracts
forced the provision market down grade.
Lard and ribs were especially affected.
