Nobody loves q bear-the Wall
Street species, that is--and So there
was good deal Of rejoicing whom
some operators on the constructive
side OF the market employed the tac-
tics which the bears have used with
such potable success of late and
made the latter very uncomfortable
for awhile. 1t will be recalled tb,t

sound. Then they would throw all
possible pressure on the weak snot

which made a good sound-tbat is
sound indicating that the short in

such an issue, they would rush the
price up and run the shorts in. thus
forcing the latter to disgorge some
OF their recent profits. Such pro-

the way of real progress.

can get back to normal again. The
trouble IS that people seldom applv

Finance and Trade
Developments of the Week
and Their Bearing OH
the Outlook

trelIle Slock market SCOllQltV one
might sum up the situation this
way:
Favorable Factors
There has been extensive liouida-
tion during recent months and much
short selling, so that the market is
in what Wall Street calls an lover
sold' condition.
Earnings Of some Of the industrial
companies whose shares are listed on
the New York Stock Exchange have
been surprisingly large, and appar-
emily arc still running at a good
rate. The volume of business Of
fered is III cases large enough to
keep plants going at full speed for
considerable period.
At the moment indications are
that some reasonably satisfactory
solution of the railroad problem will
be found in the near future. This
should benefit not only the railroads,
but the companies of which they are
the largest customcrs-notab the
steel and equipment manufacturers.
Labor unrest is less acute, than it
was last fall, or at least it is not so
sensational in character.
Unfavorabie Factors
Money is tight and there is neth-
ing in sight to indicate that the
funds with which to finance an in
tensive bull speculation could be
found as long as the Federal Re-
serve Board holds the position that
credit dehation is necessary-and
apparently it is infexible in it's de-
termination to bring defation about.
The money situation at New York
is aggravated by the fact that this
district is forced to carry burden
that rightly should fall in varying
proportions on the different Federal
Reserve districts. This burden is i'm
posed by huge sales of Liberty bonds
and Victory notes, which are being
dumped on the New York market bv
sellers in all parts of the country.
There is seemingly no remedy for
this, since New York provides the
only big market for government Sc
curities. Such sales are likely to
continue steadily, and perhaps they
VIII increase as business monev
tlghteNs in other districts. AS long
as the selling continues it is to be
expected that the New York Federal
Reserve Bank will remain in a rela-
tlvcly weaker position than the other
central institutions.
There is much uncertainty as to
the course of commodity prices.
Many observers believe that the ton
has been reached and that decline
VIII soon set in. There are SIGNS
that high prices are beginning to cur
tai sales. This makes business men
cautious.
Export trade is certain to slump
unless credits are provided, and the
situation in that respect now looks
almost hopeless. This also makes
for hesitation in business, and con-
sequently in the stock market.
The public, enthusiasm cooled bv
recent heavy losses, shows not the
slightest interest in the market
Without public participation, real
Dull market would be impossible.
These are some of the more impor
tant contradistinct factors in the
market. We leave it for others te
hazard guesses as to what the out.
come will be.

more than anything else could do to
keep US out of war will complete the
impending overthrow of his party
Hanns Taylor, former minister to
Spain, and one of the leading authori-
ties on the constitution; says:
"The leaders at San Francisco who
fancied that they had finally disposed
of Mr. Wilson's ambitions and in
trigues for third term now perceive
that they entirely underestimate his
resources. In Bulwer's play of
"Richelieu" the crafty old cardinal at
a critical moment, when he was about
to be swept out of place and power,
turned to Joseph and said that the
time had arrived when we must piece
out the lions skin with the fox's. At
just such moment Mr.. Wilson, with
consummate boldness and craft, has
baffled his adversaries in the same
way by Selling upon the ostensible
nominee and making of him his object
vassal and mouthpiece. The iron
bound terms of the oath of felty were
reduced to writing, registered and pro-
claimed to the people on that fatal
Sunday morning before the guardians
of Governor Cox could have him from
'the shirt of Nessus" now firmly fix
ed upon him. Cold must be the heart
that has witnessed without pity his
desperate effort to escape from such
a situation through the ludicrous out
cry just made in his speech of ac-
ceptance-I thank God l take up the
stand of democracy free man, un-
fettered by promises.
IF that be true, then, as free man,
he has solemnly pledged himself to
drag us, as soon as he possibly can,
into the whirlpool of European wars
by ratification of the unholy and
anti-American Wilson covenant which
will force perpetual bond issues from
a treasury burdened already to the
breaking point, and perpetual con-
scription of American youths to die
upon foreign battlefields in causes
not their own. The time has arrived
when all American patrols. regardless
of party-men and women, fathers
and mothers-must stand together for
the protection of their firesides against
such a deadly menace designed by Mr..

II. II. Warns Americas "One- THIRD
Their Diamonds Are Insecure
as Titled Crowns

New York, Sept. 30.-"There is a
parallel between our present econo-
mic condition and that which follow
ca the Civii war; the same conditions
OF extravagance and big prices which
resulted IN great panic and years
OF hard times" says Herbert Hoover
IN an article of helpful hints, Thrift
ana american Women" in the Ladies
Home Journal.
Mr.. Hoover explains that we NAV
nope to avoid financial disaster which
followed the Civil war because we
Delieve our economic position much
stronger than it was in those early
Gays. But he warns that we are con-
fronted with world conditions of up
set" which are unknown half a cent
ury ago and he comments:
This is not just something for
statesmen and professors to worry
over but it reaches into the American
home and affects every family and
every individual"
Only One Remedy
Suggesting remedy for the pres
ent tendency towards extravaganza,
} Mr.. Hoover says:
1t is as imperative today as it was
during the war, even more so. that
we should practice thrift in all it's
forms.
Every one of us should cut out
extravaganza and waste; we should
save every possible five-cent piece
even though it were worth no more
than a postage stamp; we should put
our savings into savings banks or
into government or other securities
or into homes or farms. q
Money that is wasted is DESTROYED.
as IT cast into fire, and the evil re-
suits are not confined to the indi-
viduaps waste and his or her family.
but are in fact spread throughout So
ciety. This is the crime and damage
done by waste"
What Is Waste?
Mr.. Hoover admits that it is diff
cult and sometimes almost impos-
sible" to define waste. Much has
been said" writes Mr.. Hoover, 'and
written about silk shirts and silk
stockings. l will not condemn the
use of these articles but if those who
wear silk stockings could see the mil
lions of people in Europe who have
no stockings at all and indeed no
shoes, they would take less satisfac-l

Wilson and now promoted by Mr..
Cox"
Taylor continues:
worn out by the excuses and il
LOCALITIES of political dictatorship,
constructed upon the ruins OF the
presidency through complicated net
work of war statutes entirely apple
able to state of peace, the Ameri-
can people now demand the imme-
date repeal of the same. They per-
fectly understand that the real motive
for the absurd prolongation of tech
nical state of war, for years after it
has ceased to exist in fact, is to en-
able the executive power to perform
many abnormal acts, under the cover
OF war statutes, manifestly illegal in
time of-peace. They resent the grave
and scandalous assaults upon the
sacred writ of habaes corpus made
by the executive power; the harsh
enforcement of un-American sedition
laws generally regarded by all calm
and non-partisan jurists as unconsti-
tutional; the many violent and indie
feasible encroachments that have been
made upon our system of representa-
tive government, and upon the right
of freedom of speech. By such un-
bearable conditions, which are rapidly
undermining our entire fabric of CON
stitutional morality" we are admon-
ished that the time has arrived for
us to advance by falling back. Let
us return to the faith of our fathers;
lie. us re-establish the constitution as
they made it"

ton in the sheen and pattern of their
hose"
The article directed attention to in
escapable individual responsibility and
sets forth that thrift is first a matter
of principle and secondly that "there
is no chance of our individual effort
in the right direction being nullified
by the action of Others" and adds:
About one-third of our people are
responsible for most of the extrava-
gance and waste of this country. II
is heavy responsibility that they
bear. If we could convert this one
third to simple living, the problem
would be solved.
1T is the one-third who are guilty
OF extravagant eating and drinking
in public places. They spend 100000
every night in New York city alone
on restaurant suppers. The nation
spends at least million dollars a
day or 1906, 100000 a year in super
fluous eating at hotels and restaur-
ants. IA q
again it is the one-third who are
mostly responsible for the waste in
volved in the use of jewelry on which
so many millions are being spent.
We are now obtaining a great many
diamonds, other precious stones and
articles of ornament from Europe.
America sends to Europe shiploads of
useful commodities-foodstuffs, ma
chinery, cotton. She gets back a
wheelbarrow load of diamonds and
jewelry.
Some Valuable Fallacies.
People think that diamonds are a
good investment at time when Lib
erty bonds and other securities and
money itself are depreciating in
value, but this is childish fallacy. If
persisted in, lot of people will find
themselves owning handful of pre-
cious stones as worthless as are the
titles OF many former monarchs of
Europe"
Further, illustrating his point, Mr..
Hoover cites the sale of perfume at
sos bottle and deplores the wide
spread purchase of furs. He says:
THE installment system of credit
for clothing and furniture is a direct
cause of a great deal of extravaganza
tor it lures its victims with the idea
OF small occasional payments for
which the total is almost never COM
pretended. 1t is somewhat as if you
had small cut in your pocket.book
and through it the lesser coins were
constantly dropping out"
To make direct appeal to Ameri-
can women is characterized by Mr..
Hoover as high compliment to them,
as indicating that they are very
largely the guardians of the Ameri-
can pocket-book.
IF the women of America see their
opportunity and their duty and act
upon them. civilization will be their
debtor" concludes Mr.. Hoover.
