The theaters suffered severely. Many
productions which were held over for the
convention, or which opened with the
idea of obtaining convention patronage,
were forced to close, and even the out
standing successes in the theatrical field
noticed little additional rush for tic
kets. Spectators who had taken over
large blocks Of tickets for the first week
OF the convention were left with them
on their hands.
Other Visitors Kept Away.
In addition to their complaint over the

This also affected the hotels and amuse-

in many of the wholesale and retail

However. the attitude of the mer
chants and hotel men and business
men throughout the country in gen
eral was more hopeful today. There
was general feeling, since uncer
tainty as to candidates and platforms
was thing of the past, business
would be free to run in normal chan

NEW YORK, July 10. - Never
again" That was the mutual senti-
ment expressed by some New York
merchants and some delegates to the
Democratic national convention as
the latter departed for their homes
today. New York merchants and
amusement men and hotel proprietors
in many instances were disappointed
at the volume of trade which followed
in the wake of the convention, while
delegates were thoroughly worn out
and anxious to get back to their
homes.
The first week of the convention un-
doubtedly brought a fine volume of
business to the retail merchants, es-
pecially those dealing in womens
wear, but the number of visitors at
tracted to the city did not come up
to expectations and the sales directly
attributableb to the convention fell off
after June 2S. Delegates who had
began to conserve their resources and
shopping excursions were abandoned
Small Hotels Suffer.
The larger hotels were full but the
number of out-of-town arrivals failed
to fill large part of the accommoda-
tionS provided by the smaller hostel
ries and in apartment houses. Apart
ment owners who counted on obtain
ing large revenues from the rental
or ten days suffered disappointment
in nearly every case. The restau-
rants did not do WELL with the ex-
ceptlon OF the dining rooms in the

II never realized" he said, what a
difference the basis Of valuation
made
THE important point is.'' inter-
rupted, how much the property will
earn. The chances are that If the
company had to liquidate-that is,
quit business and convert its property
into cash-there would be little. left
for the stockholders. Book value is
essentially a liquidating proposition,
as far as the stockholder is concerned,
and then It's a guess how much 1t
will be. AS far as the market price
OF a stock Is concerned, book value
has little to do with 1t.
For example, United States Steel
stock sells for about one-third of it's
book value, and the market price of
Woolworth is nearly four times it's
book value. So many other factors

Book Value.

A stock salesman dropped in on me
the other day. He had a beautiful
proposition. To clinch it. he leaned
forward confidentially and said:
You know, I am Offering you this
stock at $50 a share and its book
value is $780,"
How do you estimate the book
value?" I asked.
That's simple" he answered. Just
divide the total net value of the prop
erty by the number of the shares of
stock outstanding. The result is the
