Financial Review
By ERIC KoBBE Of Blyth, Witter & Go.
The Consumer Strike

It is really quite remarkable with what orderly and calm composure the process of deflation is going on. With the sudden shocks of lowering prices; commodity markets becoming bare of buyers; deep dents made in the gen eral confidence in large and we'll es- tablished concerns who have been forced to fall back on their bankers it is very reassuring to see how well all of these things have been taken by business in general. The Review hopes that the peak of the disturb ance has been reached if not passed, and although it is expected that the first of the year will show an increase in business failures over present fig ures which are already high. these failures will in the end react to the benefit, rather than the detriment of business in general This is due to the fact that the majority of the com panieS which will be forced to iqui
 date will be those born of the false prosperity due to the war emergency, companies which are not now and never were, fundamentally financially sound, and their end will benefit the legitimate companies through the elimination of undesirable competition.
 The situation is still difficult and later on, on the surface at least, con- ditions will appear more disturbed. However. with the large crops; the transportation situation being strengthened out, and the railroads being put on a sound financial basis; the election over and victory won; our financial system working well and our banking system withstanding the hard est strain ever put upon it; the mar kets of the world demanding our pro- ducts; with no over-extension of our underlying activities-who will say that we have not every reason to face the future with confidence, if not with optimism?
 But like everything else, there is a catch to it. The catch this time is the Consumers Strike;' one of the most Justified strikes of history. and put over by the greatest of all unions the public. The public refuses to buy! | And who is the public? Why, you and I! What is the trouble about? The retailer-or pacifically the prices he insists on charging. One of the most important things that must be accomplished to relieve present con- ditions, is to get the public back in a l buying mood, and the only way this can be accomplished. is for the re- | taller to make reductions commensu- rate with the wholesale reductions be- 1 ing made in every line. That this vii
 farce them to take a smaller profit ol
 no profit at all, and even possibly . loss, does not enter into the case as substantial reductions now will save l greater losses later. because unless such reductions are made the whole
 structure of retail prices will break
 with & rush.
 Indications point to a successful conclusion of the consumers strike 1 and unless the Review is mistaken l
 appreciate conditions and will meet tn,
 terms demanded by the public. Thii
 will be good business. because the
 mass of people think alike, and jus now they are thinking We won
 buy" And 1t should be the endeavol
 of every farsighted business man t
 change that thought to, We will buy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The succeSSlVe stages of todays active stock market were characterized by situations of heaviness, firmness and intermittent strengths, selling for profits however, materially reducing many gains at the irregular close.
 Fruition of the o-called Southern Pacific melon" over night seemed to exercise little influence, Southern Pa cific opening at a loss of 1ss. extend ing this more than points at midday and displaying further heaviness later when the balance of the list tended toward higher levels. Its final quota tion of 1051a showed a net loss of 4Hs points
 Rights" to Southern Pacific rose and fell within narrow radius of yes terday's closing price of 23, and share of the Pacific Oil company, which is to take over the oil lands of the South ern Pacific, were quoted on the when issued' basis at 30 to S5.
 Associated Oil, whose shares are to be merged with Pacific Oil, scored an early gain of points a small part of which was forfeited later. Other oils were fractionally lower in the early part of the session, but became the strongest features later, notably Mex ican Petroleum and the two Pan-Amer- ican Petroleums, in which final prices showed gains of 3h to points. Among steels, equipments, coppers and un- classified specialties there was no defi- nite tend until after midday. when ad- vances of l to 8 points were scored, probably at the expense of the shorts who also suffered in the rise of ship pings. Total sales amounted to L. 100000 shares.
 The money market pursued an even course, all call loans being again made at ' per cent and most time loans, chiefly for moderate sums, at to 75s per cent. Foreign exchange presented no especial feature, but the low ratio of liability reserves reported by the Bank of England was matter of gen. eral comment.
 Foreign bonds fared better than do- mestic issues, many of which, including Liberties, were inclined to ease. Total sales, par value, SIP, 400, 900. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. CHICAGO, Dec. 2-Sharp advances in the price of wheat took place today accompanied by a general rush to the bull side and by a scarcity of offerings Assertions that the United States has already sold for export nearly as much as 1t safely can counted in favor of the advance. Gossip also was current that Australia had made large sales. Open 1 ing quotations. which ranged from 1c to Sc higher, with December $1.6501.7C and March $1.5701.5sh, were followed | by rapid fluctuations, with the average l level about 5c above yesterdays finish i Corn ascended with wheat After opening $ e to 15sc up, including May at 745s G75c, the market scored a de cided further gain.
 Oats were firmer, influenced by tht
 strength of other cereals. starting l<C to 5s c higher, May 491k 649%c and con. | tinuing to harden.
 Upturns in the value of grain ant hogs helped to lift provisions.

Two decisions of local interest have just been handed down by Judge George E. Hinman, who is presiding in the superior court for Windham county at Putnam during the March term.
 In the case of Clinton Shippee vs. Harley s. Place. East Killingly par ties, Judge Hinman's finding is for the plaintiff, who brought suit against Mir. Place to recover for the value ef a large number of cords of wood which he claimed to have sold to MT. Place.
 In the memorandum of decision Judge Hinnlan says: 'The sole con- tention in this case as presented is whether the. defendant purchased or the plaintiff 100 cords of wood, as claimed by the defendant, or all of the wood on the plaintiffs lot, as contended by the plaintiff.
 "The testimony of the plaintiff and the defendant is so irreconcilable that the principal question becomes one of credability, considering the testimony as to the bargain itself, the situation of the parties and the conduct of the defendant in relation to the removal of such of the wood as he had caused te be removed. It is found that the defendants purchased all the wood, WnlCn Dy CHOpPSIS IntdSuIC cd to 157 cords at s5 per cord-S7S5. Credits of s2s2 are claimed and ad mitted leaving a balance due of s50S, for which amount judgment may be entered for the plaintiff, with his costs"
 In the case of Peter Chabot of wauregan, formerly of Danielson, vs Samuel C. Harris, of Brooklyn, Judge Hinman's decision is in Mir. Chabot's lavor.
 In deciding this case Judge Honmar tays: The sole question at issue is the amount to be recovered by the plaintiff for board and care of de- fendsnt's horse, from May [, 1918, tt December 2s, 1918. The defendant is not bound by acquiescence Cmpliec by his silence) in the notice given hin that the price would be s1 per day nor by his failure to direct or agree as to the manner in which the hors, should be kept since the ownership O the horse was deemed by him in dis pute until judgment in Chabot vs Harris, No. 2s95.
 The manner in which the horse was in fact, kept was not unreasonabl, under the circumstances, but the req sonable worth of the care and feed as furnished by the plaintiff, was no as large as that of a horse kept in livery stable and fed for use. On hundred and fifty dollars is req sonable price for such board and car for the period named. The yeterinar

presef;s housing situation.
Legislative leaders and members OF
ehe lockwood housing committee at
tended the hearing for the purpose OF
obtaining he views Of the two factions
on the rent bills. The consensus was
that the bills met general approval and
will stand, with the exception Of some
minor changes.
The bill abolishing the summary
proceedings was the storm center of
the hearing. Landlords and tenants
engaged in verbal Tits over the provi-
sions Of this measure. The landlords
expressed the fear that the tenants
would be 80 firmly intrenched under
the proposed law that they could not
get them out under say circumstances
The tenants, on the other hand, were
suspicious lest some loophole should
be left open whereby profiteering land
lords could gain po>sesa,c. through
trickery.
Both sides had come 10 Albany pre-
pared TO fight IL out over this bill.
The factions were strongly repre-
scented. Although the assembly room
was hiied 10 Its capacity and although
landlords and tenants have not become
friendly since last winter, the hearing
gave csnse for nons of the disorders
which marked the bearing In April.
