A Two. Edged Opinion

1t is Oftcntme remarkable how
quickly and radically the temper Of
market sentiment changes. This was
vividly excmpliiied in the published
opinion yesterday of one of the shrewdest
market judges in Wall Street. Only
short time ago this same critic, un-
hesitatingly advised the purchase of the
better grade of securities. expressing the
belief that the market had started on q
well defined upward swing. Now he
finds the advance met a generous dis
tribution of stocks on the part of those
who had either been waiting patiently
for soft jumping off place, or else by
people who found this the only satis-
factory avenue for fortifying cash re-
sources.
He pointed out yesterday there was
little hope Of enticing outside buying to
any great extent. Declaring that many
who often took a market fiier, now
found employment for all ready cash.
| while others were compelled to liquidate
! securities in order to get funds. for
| business needs.
This is not altogether a bad sign. he
asserted, because if the business man
could see sufficient encouraging future
signs to start things moving again. it
meant n turn in the business situation
had at last come and. sooner or later.

Steel Buying Not Continued

Following the publication of the un-
filled tonnage of the United States
Steel Corporation, showing n shrinkagc
in untitled orders Of 2S1 ,544 tons for
the month of July. the weekly review
of the steel industry by the Iron Age
was read with considerable Interest in
that 1t failed to give any particular
encouraging news.
Discussing the situation this accepted
trade journal says:
Moderate improvement of last two
weeks in replenishment demand for steel
continues, but few SUCCESSORS have an
peared to larger sized orders which
lately brought out such keen competi-
tion in the Central Western and Chi
cago districts. Any new price con-
cessions have been in pig iron rather
than in finished material

tinues to come TO United States. but
with more or less complication as to

been a buyer of rails also, one order

German and other European bids on
steel for Japan are well below American
prices. French sheet bars have been
offered at $34.T0 delivered in Japan or

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

lt Is the unseen that is always the
most terrifying in all walks OF human
life, applying as much to savage as "
does the highly civilized. For some
rev days disconcerting and vague hints
have trept into the financial district,
both here, as well az in New York, pre-
dieting some great disturbing develop
ment was overhanglng the market SIT
uation. This not only chilled the re.
cent budding speculative enthusiasm,
but also provoked quite considerable
liquidation on the part Of holders Of
long stock. Fortunately for the mar
ket this was conducted in an orderly
manner and was to large extent in
small lots, with the striking absence OF
the overdumping Of big blocks which
attended some of the downward plungcs
the market suffered during the current
year. The peculiar part Of all this
supposed apprehension Is the apparent
inabiiity OF any one to pin down the
exRct nature of the trouble.
Yesterday, however, for the first
dme. there were reliable reports point
ing to the disturbance as having been
the outgrowth Of the unhappy foreign
trade situation. 1t is an open secret
that frozen bank loans in connection
for the foreign trade. particularly with
Cuba and South American countries.

great difhculty was experienced in COM

Tendency TO LEAN
ON J. s. D{H0RED
President Urges Arousmg Of
Local Genius for
Administration.
By the Associated Press

y
CHAPEL HILL N. c.. September IL.
The tendency to rely on the federal
government for performance Of func-
tions rightfully belonging to local ad-
ministrative units is deplored by Pres
ident Harding in a letter written in
connection with the conference Of
town and county administration. to
be held next week at the University
Of North Carolina.
The President. In his letter. which
was made public today by Dr. Howard
W. Odum. director Of the School Of
Public Welfare Of the University Of
North Carolina, says:
MY attention has been called to re-
gional conference on local govern
ment. which you are about to hold for
broad consideration of the sociG. in
dustrial and technical problems Of
local government.
1T is pleasure to record my hearty
Endorsement of the efforts you are
making, and to emphasize the need
which ! believe exists for an earnest
and continuing presentation of these
subjects to the people throughout the
country: The problems are manifold
and difficult, accentuated by the COM
plexity of conditions which have
arisen during and following the war.
There has been an Inevitable tend
ency, because Of the overwhelmingly
important work which confronted the
national government. 10 rely unuuiS
upon it for performance Of many func-
tions which can only be discharged
properly by local administrative en-
titles. This. together with the further
fact of our country's rapid growth
and the consequent difficulty of ade-
quately planning local governmental
machineries. has resulted in a certain
inefficiency of the minor administra-
tive organisms which greatly needs to
be corrected. 1t will be corrected
whenever the attention Of the people
is fully aroused and the national
genius for administration is effective
ly applied"

Friends Tell Good Story on Lawyer
Who Has Risen to High
Position in State.

Col w. H. Holmes, state superin-
tendent of game for the department of
conservation, was admitted to the bar
on reaching his majority. His first
case was to prove that a certain mule
belonged TO a certain negro. He won
the case.
Subsequently in another mule case
he proved the animal belonged to an
other negro. Then he was elected dis
trict attorney, and the first case he
had to prosecute was one concerning
a mule. The mule had been stolen and
was over the line in Mississippi. He
was going to abandon the case, when
one of his former clients approached
him and said.
"Cunnel, eff I was you all, I'd go
after dat mule. OATS de mule been
suppohtin' you evar since you was a
lawyer"
And in all three cases it was the
same mule.-New Orleans Times-Pica-

BRITISH AND FRENCH COMPRO
MISE CONFLICTING VIEWS
ON PREPARATIONS.
BELGIANS AVERT A SPLIT
Allies Will ltemze Their Demands
While France Prepares To Ad-
vance and Occupy the
Ruhr District.

London.-The British and French
government have reached an agree
ment on how to deal with Germany
to compel payment of reparations I'M
dert exact, immediate guarantees. In
broad outline it is agreed that the al
lies will make declaration soon, but
not to Germany.
They will announce that the Repa-
rations Commission will notify Ger
many as to the amount she is requiT
ed to pay, and how it is to be paid,
together with the proposed financial
controls. The allies then will an
nounce that within 10 days. this pc
riod being subject to possible modifl-
cation by the Supreme Council, they
will proceed to carry uto the penalties
if the terms are not acceeded to.
The plan provides for a comprehen-
sive scheme of supervision and con-
troll of Germany's sources of revenue.
1t is not yet completed, but while the
experts are working on it France will
proceed with all her military prepare
lions for the occupation of the Ruhr.
The French government Will order
the mobilization of one additional
class for the occupation of the Ruhr.
This is the general result of an agi-
tated day of conversations and con-
ferences that seemed likely to end in
sharp disagreement among the allies.
The agreement was brought about by
the intervention of the Belgian for
eign minister, M. Jasper, at a meet
ing of the Supreme Council. The
whole subject will come up for discus
sion again at another meeting of the
council later.
Both sides feel that they have meas
ureably succeeded in having their pol
icies accepted.
The French premier asked for Brit
ish naval cooperation, suggesting the
blockade of Hamburg. The British
prime minister replied that American
public opinion would no approve OF
such a course, and he could not agree
to a blockade, which would bring the
allies into controversy with the
United States.
NJ BRAND agreed to this point OF
view He added that the course OF
the United States has been absolutely
correct
Uneasiness still exists among the
French delegates. over the possibility
that Washington may endeavor to
mediate; they declare this would not
be acceptable to them.
