here with a pledge to follow the
example of the Lord as "A drinker of
the wine of His day" suffered re
versal Sunday when federal prohibi-

New York. Dec. t0.-Americans can
make sure of progress along the road
TO human perfection by preserving and
stimulating their initiative and glori-
flying service as part OF the national
character. says Herbert Hoover, sec
retary of commerce, in his book sum
marizing American lndlylduaiism,
just off the press.
EyDerience in the backwash and
misery of the war. he says, has
strengthened his faith in American in
diyidualism, for America has been
steadily developing the ideals that con-
stitute progressive individualism.
Americans he writes, are not
fooled into the pretense that all men
are equal in ability, character, intelli-
gence and ambition. That was part of
the claptrap of the French revolution.
IF democracy is to secure its
authorities in morals, religion and
craftsmanship. it must stimulate leader

Leadership, MIR Hoover said, can

progress far ahead of the average

RAIL TRAIT
HIGH DESPITE
SLOW SEASON
Business Conditions Re-
main Satisfactory as
Holidays approach.
Car Loadings $4,000
Higher Than a Year
Ago; Steel Mills Hum.

New York, Dec. 1O.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. Reports concerning
the fundamental conditions underlying
the financial markets continued to be
satisfactory the past week. Railroad
traffic is holding at an extraordinary
high level. considering the season. Car
loadings during the week ended Noyem-
Der 25 totaled 900. 900 cars. which rep
resent an increase of $4,000 over the
corresponding week year ago.
Although the weeks movement was
some $4,000 cars smaller than in the
preceding seyen-day period, this de-
cline is more than accounted for by
the loss Of traffice resulting from
cessation of navigation on the Great
Lakes. Loadings of merchandise and
miscellaneous freight were. in fact,
greater.
Steel Business Brisk
No cessation is apparent, meanwhile.
in the steel industry's high rate Of
output, operations still approximating
so per cent Of war-expanded capacity.
Pig iron prices have declined further
but trade reports state that both buy
ers and sellers are now feeling for the
bottom of this market.
Steel prices, on the other hand. re-
main firm, and consumers are showing
some disposition to carry reasonable
stocks.
1t appears that bituminous output
is continuing at a daily rate CORE
spending to 100000 tons a week.
Final figures for the earnings of
class l roads during October show that
the total net for the month amounted
to $50, 100000. which, while some 500
100000 below the total in the same
month year ago. when earnings were
good, is still S27 000,0 900 bet
ter than the showing in Septembre.
Reserve Ratio Lower
A recession of about per cent in
the ratio of reserve of the combined
federal reserve system brings that fig
ure down to 74.3 per cent. This is
slightly lower than any other figure re
corded this year, but is still high
enough to demonstrate very ample sup
plies of commercial credit The de-
cline in ratio is very largely reflec-
ton of further increase in redis-
counts, which, in turn measures the
for the holiday trade
Money rates remain steady and no ma
terial disturbance is expected to attend
the large government transactions cen
tering around the tax date.
With reports Of cessation Of activity
in foreign textile centers, the price
of cotton fell back close to "a cents.
At this level however, the market ap-
pared well liquidated and prices raj
to approximately % cents
to approximately 25 cents
The grain markets have been rather
quiet. partly because of uncertainty re
garding foreign developments, but
prices have been firm.
