STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, July 12.-Yesterday's close was reflected in a heavy demand for stocks at the opening today. The old-time favorite leaders, American Can and Baldwin, were the important fea- lures, selling up over a point each in the first few minutes. Steel and Stude- baker advanced fractionally. A num- Der of issues that have been tagging behind were advanced. Jones Tea, Owens Bottle, International Paper and Asphalt gained substantially, but the most encouraging feature was the strength in the general list. Shrewd
 market operators perdict higher prices for some time, with only normal re- actions. Transactions were in rather small volume, which may be attributed

.puN,s REVIEW

-DUN'S REVIEW
 NEW YORK, July 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S current summary of general busi- ness follows. in part;r
 Nothing in the weeks reports indi- cates any fundamental change in gen. eral business, but none is to be ex- pected at this period. It is normally erations, except in the sale of summer specialties, and the further slowing down in most directions Is a seasonal trend. Some revival of buying interest in certain textile divisions is an en- courasing phase, and the packer hide market Is more active and firmer, but the main condition is still one of limited demand and lower prices. The prospect of smaller grain crops this year has caused appreciably higher prices for the principal cereals, yet Dun's list of wholesale quotations. for the nineteenth consecutive week, shows more reduc- tions than increases. The excess of de- ciines is, however, much narrower than in the recent past, and there is evidence that prices in some quarters have reached the point where sellers are not disposed to make additional concessions. A decrease of more than 20 per cent in steel output during June is another in- dication of the sharp curtailment that has occurred in basic industries, and the adjustment of production in various lines has gone on so steadily that in some instances normal accumulations of goods do not exist. The absence of burdensefne supplies in most, channels is a favorable augury, and there Is an expectation that the present restriction of purchasing will be followed, after the passing of the summer, by increased transactions. Working forces naturally have been affected by shut-downs or reduced operating schedules at manu- featuring plants, and there have been some wage revisions, but no general complaint of unemployment is heard and the public buying power remains very large. Conservatism and caution usually prevail in a presidential year, yet political factors seem toebe causing less hesitation now than was the case before the nominations were made. The buoyancy of the stock market has been recent feature, prices touching the highest level of the year this week on a volume of trading that is not or dinarily seen at this period.

r. wonder if it may be significant E that during the last few weeks I. have ] been button-holed right and left by per sons of small or moderate means who want to know what stock or stocks they should buy.
 ; Most of these interested. ones do not want bonds or gilt-edged stocks. They want either a big return on their money and the prospect of enhance ment in market value; or they want to buy some non-dividend paper or papers showing promise of climbing to the divi- dend stage in the not distant future. Have I advised against making such purchases? Not at V. think, in fact, it is ratLer sensible to buy the common shares of the leading companies in different basic industries which have been undergoing severe depression.
 ''It is mighty curious to me-" re marked Lord Castlert ss, now in New York, "that you Americans delight to buy securities that are doing rottenly, We always choose the ones that are doing the best"
 What is the explanation of this fact, for there is large measure of truth in his=observations? Is it not that the majority of Americans are daring speculators at heart, whereas BritonS are more staid and prefer to play safer
 A suggestion for corporations and firms having on hand an oversupply of cash on which they would like to obtain a larger return than is paid by banks for deposits: Buy high grade short terms notes and bonds nearing maturity. These can be purchased to yield 5 per cent or-better
 You never heard of Edison making speech. All character sketches record that he never made one in his life.
 But they are wrong
 When Arthur Williams was food ad- ministrator in New York during the war, MT. Edison happened to be with him when he received, a summons to a meeting of striking longshoremen, and the veteran inventor expressed desire to go along. The food administrators main plea was tha', regardless of how the trouble might be settled, the long shDremen should not refuse to handle foodstuffs so badly needed by the boys at the front, and which would spoil if left on the docks. .. se-
 There was a thunderous demand that Edison talk. He did. But the food administrator began to quake, for Edi- son launched on a declaration that it was up to men like himself and to busi- ness concerns to devise machinery which , would do most. of the. backbreaking work done by these men. ;-~
 T was afraid" Mir. Williams related to me, that the longshoremen would figure that labor-saving machinery would do most of them out of their jobs 1nstead, they cheered Edison wildly.
 After that, had no trouble in get ting the men to handle the foodstuffs. .'

NEW YORK, July 12.-The impress sive feature of the curb market the past week was the demonstration of in- creased interest in many quarters in ciuding outside spectators and those operators, and combinations concerned in the accumulation of various indus trial groups.
 Public utility issues continued promi- nent and there were clear suggestions of several of these corporations going into new hands. Commonwealth Power had. another period of activity and strength, an advance of z points car rying it up to 100, new high record
 Lehigh Power made the same amount of gain, crossing 80, and Appalachian Power was another strong issue. Chain stores. were in demand. National Tea being the leader. Ward Baking. issues had a vigorous upturn, following fla vorable statements of current business.
 Radio issues were traded in on a large scale. Durant Motors was in spe- cial demand and ranged from 1415 to .1S1a.
 Oil stocks were irregular, resisting the influence of the further cuts. Prairie Oil became heavy and yielded points and there was a supply of Stan dard Oil of oil stock. Royal Canadian was one of tie few strong features.

The Loyalty of the
\ Average Man
By John w. Laird. Director Of Research
The. PaIots RoyGl Inc

Thes Pdtots RoyGl, Inc
In the two preceding editorials we have
suggested that the average man looks upon
TRUTH and JUSTICE as quite indispens
sable to his happiness, usefulness and pros
perity.
There is still another ingredient in the
inner life of the average man that needs to
be mentioned, and that is his LOYALTY.
TRUTH, JUSTICE, LOYALTY = these
three - and the greatest of these is
LOYALTY.
Said successful business man the other
day, MY religion resolves itself into Sc
ries of loyalties. Loyalty is the greatest
thing in the world
The average man thinks so. Whatever
else ne might excuse in his fellows, he de-
mands loyalty and condemns disIoyalty.
Loyalty to his family-his wife and chill.
dren-is tenet in the average mans faith.
Il would be true, for there are those who
trust me" is the foundational sentiment on
which the whole structure of the home is
built. And this is vitally related to the
prosperity of all the commercial institu.
tions of our country. As goes the home
goes the department store and all other
legitimate places of business Let us not
forget this.
The average man extends his loyalty be.
yond the home circle to other members If
society. Ii he is an employer, he is loyal to
the men and women whom he employs
1t he is an employe, he is loyal to his en-
ployer. Otherwise there can be no bus;.
ness progress.
because TIE acreage mans eoneebtion
OF loyalty includes his felloac men, q nezc
altitude to1oord the other fellozv has
come INTO BUSINESS and the Progressive
business man today not only publicly
states his social and business ideals ns
clearly as possible. but he e,deavors to
practice them. This inspires confidence
and confidence creates better business
The loyalty of the average man to his
country found notable expression in the
World War. For his country he offered
his Life. Never in human history did the
world see the average man measure up
more fully to the ideals of patriotism.
Show me man who is loyal to his fam.
uy, to the sanctions of society, to his flag
and to his fellow men, and will show Won
man who has in him the foundation, Of
true citizenship.
