Uneven Trend
Continues i'm
Stock Market
Industrial Issues Are Again
the Most Vulnerable, as
Railroad Securities
Show a Firm Tone

Another day Of marked irrsgularity
Of price fluctuations In the principal
speculative markets indicated that
traders were more concerned with
technical, internal maraet conditions
than with the world of commerce and
affairs outside. Further sottnsss In
bond prices, particularly In United
States Government issues; the decline
Of French francs to another new low
before q recovery, reaction in cot
ton quotations and uncertainty In
wheat prices, weakness In Industrial
stocks and Armness In railroad issues
were aspects OF the mixed financial
picture.
Tho progressively more critical
European financial situation, which was
brought 10 the attention Of traders
through the spectacular decline OF the
European exchanges, was an unset
tling influence, which played into tho
hands Of spectators. who found IL
profitable to depress security prices.
Again ths most vulnerable issues were
those industrial shares in which the
recent speculation for the rise has
been most extravagant. The latest rise,
based partly on the gentle art Of ex-
citing traders through the printing
press process Of declaring stock divi-
dcnds, tended to check coincidence Of
security buyers, and the subsistence Of
buying energy offered short sellers an
opportunity 70 profit through facili-
tsting q reaction.
In face Of the September railroad
earnings, which still measure the ad-
verse effects Of the shipments strike,
stocks Of the carriers were, on the
whole. strong. The bringing Of the
Pennsylvania shares back to per
cent dividend basis, after Norfolk g.
Western directors had declared an ex-
ira dividend, seemed to put the au-
thority Of competens railroad boards
behind the assumption that the roads
had embarked on period OF substan-
TALLY greater earning power, subject
being critically examined in series
Of forty daily articles now appearing
in The Tribune.
The rise OF call money rates from
Az per cent at renewal time up to 6
per cent before the close heightened
the tendency to dispose Of shares.
Government Withdrawals were perhaps
the cause Of the furry.

In Wall Street
wsakness Continues

The weakness IN the market ysster-
day was moro marked than on any Of
the preceding days Of ths week. and
naturally caused widespread inquiries
regarding the Gauss Of the decline.
Among Che factors that fastened the
selling movement In the later dealings
was the advance in the call money
rate to per cent, but even before this
took effect twas apparent that the
market had iittls railying power. The
rails, which showed strength on
Wednesday, participated in the decline,
with Reading down 8b points, at the
close. In the absence OF anything In
the domestic news to explain the acute
weakness there was an inclination to
attribute tho steady streana OF liquida-
tion to possible foreign Developments,
ouch as the growing political unrest IN
Italy and the downward plungs Of
French exchange. Ali in all, 1t YVES

The fact that A. a. Smith, president

day with the rest Of the list, in COM
mission house circles 1t was said that
tho stock met considerable buying sup
port after 1t had reacted to its low
point Of 125M. This may have been
due to the report that directors ct
their next meeting will not only de-
clare the regular quarterly distribu~

stock, but will also pay another extra.
At the meeting on July 81 the extra
amounted to $1.50 share, and It was

COMMON TO ALL HUMANITY
Every Nation Has Set Apart Time for
Special Services in Gratitude
for Gods Mereies.

Thanksgiving day did not originate
In the United States. but dnys OF
Thanksgiving were set aside for special
purposes many centuries ago. Days
set apart for special thanksgiving to
the Lord were known to the 1sraelites
and are mentioned throughout the
Bible. They were not uncommon In
England before the Reformation and
among Protestants afterward.
The first thanksgiving held in North
America was conducted by an Eng.
lish minister named Wolfall, In 1873,
on the shores of Newfoundland. The
pastor accompanied the expedition un-
der Frobisher, which brought the first
English colony to settle on those
shores.
The earliest record of any observ-
ance of similar service within the
present territory Of the United States
was held by the Popham colony set
tied at Sagadahoc. on the coast of
Maino. in August. 1907. ...E
But the real origin of Thanksgiv-
ing us a day specially set apart for
prayer and rejoicing must be oattrlb-
uted to Governor Bradford, first gov
ernor of Massachusetts colony. :. In:
gratitude for the plenteous harvest of
1921, following upon period of great
depression, he proclaimed :arIday- sf
thanksgiving to be observed neeelnber

WILLING TO DO HIS SHARE
Jack osmpsey's Really Amusing story
Of ir'st,man Made a Hit With
English Hests.

Jack Dempsey's recent visit to
London was n brief one but 1t af-
fOrded him time enough to establish
. brilliant reception as an after.

Jack mnde his reputation at .
luncheon given In his honor by Lord
NOrthcliffe. All England's greatest
statesmen. artists and milIionaires
were gathered round the board. When
the young champion was called IN for
a toast he rose and said:
II am q good deal like the '.rishman
who attended dinner where every
guest had to make speech. sing .

mans turn came he got up and said: :

| its source. with a consequent enrich
ment Of new strength and new courage.
Gratitude, as the old pagan said, is
essential to religion. There Is no reli-
gion where there Is no gratitude. And
the power Of religion Is In exact pro-
portion to the sense Of thankfulness
1t inspires. That does not mean that
God is great almsgiver who dispenses
charity for the reward Of appreciation.
He gives because he Is God, and giving
Is the expression Of his unaltering
goodness. He gives freely regardless
of thanks. He cannot be bribed to
larger favOrs by gratitude. The effect
of gratitude is upon ourselves, In the
exercise of our souls and In the ap-
prOach to deity through that exercise.
which Is the essential essence Of reli-
giOn.
And that effect may be collective as
well as individual. We are today u
nation engaged In thanksgiving. We
are, In totality, hundred million souls
expressing gratitude to Him for His
blessings to us us people. II that Is
a mere formality 1t is nothing-it liz
worse than nothing. We may be quite
sure that God does not delight in
rhetoric that is but sounding brass and
tinkling cymbals. We may be equally
sure that we as nation are not nd-
vanced or uplifted by sermons or pray
ers or speeches that, however beautl-
fully attired, are but words. But II
that thankfulness Is real, II 1t Is felt
within, If we are conscious OF II. II It's

thereby, and given larger vision. an
increase Of power. nearer hpprohch
to the glory of divinity. by the exercise
of the spirit within us, reaching out TO
clasp hands with its creator ana the
source Of all Its strength.
And manifestly there is abundant
reason for that gratitude and Its ex-
preston. We need not, we cannot
count our blessings one by one' as
the song entreats us to do. They are
too many for counting. too overwhe'm-
