Bear Year SO Far
IT 1919 was, broadly speaking, a bull
year, then 1920-at least up to date,
in the major movement on the stock
market has been distinctly a bear
year. The principal downward swing
started last November and, DESPITE
recoverles and rallies, the main move
ment since has been downward. The
recent recovery Of the stock market is
Interpreted IN some quarters as an in
dlcatlon that the main forces Of reac-
ton have spent themselves, and that
the turn for the better has unmistak-
ably come. That is an opinion.
Events, will test its validity: How
ever, the recent turn in the market at
ieast gives one vantage point to
look back with some sense of perspec-
tive on the great bear movement which
the Street has gone through, and to
compare its human side with that of
an extended bull period.
In times of downward reaction there
is no dearth of excitement, especially
during the days of precipitate decline,
when the false values of imitation are
effaced with startling rapidity The
fluctuations of a particularly full day
often remove the margin which sep
arates spectators from poverty, and

less stimulating to the emotions than

perpetually challenging the predic-

Answer-German city bonds are
not speculative investment; they are
a gamble, and there is no more than
what the chemists call trace Of safety
in them. If and when the bonds are
paid they will be liQuidated in German
currency as it exists at the time. If
i: is worth moro then than now, YOU
win; if not, you lose. That is, provid-
ing the government stands up and the

then, is Germany going to make the
mark worth anything near par? In
doubtediy her 60,000,000 people possess
tremendous recuperative power, but
they need all of it, and redeeming and
putting value behind the mark is not
the first charge on their efforts. We
DO not believe marks are as cheap as
they look. Earlier in the year there
was wave of speculation in them
here which carried the price up. Now
that has subsidized. and the quotations
are falling off. Lots of outside spccu-
lators are loaded up with marks at
close to 3 cents.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Small Town People Had Great Idea,
but It Was Disappointing to
the "Drummer."

A commercial traveller arrived for
the first time at small country town
one evening. Early next morning he
was awakened by great blowing OF
whistles, steam sirens, buzzers, etc.
Rejoicing in the thought of doing a
lot of business, he asked the hotel pro-
prietor later on:
''This is quite a manufacturing
town, isn't itT
"Oh, yes; we're pretty busy" was
the proud reply.
what kind of factories have your
'Well"-this time more slowly
flour principally"
only flOur?"
Eyes, that's all as yet. But our flour
mills good one"
'sBut heard at least dozen whis-
ties going this morning."
'You did" agreed the proprietor,
dropping his voice, confidentially, ''but
they are all at the -four mill. You see,
we got the whistles we should want for
the factories we are going to have, and
put them In to make the town sound
more lively. Quite 'citifled,' amt it?"
