Profit Taking Increases During Seventh Sue

 NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Proceeding un- der full head of steam on wednesday, the stock market registered further rec rd-breaking stock sales and then pro ceeded to blow off the cap. Profit tax ing appeared in greater volume than at any time in the six successive pull mar kets which preceded this one, with the net result that the active railroad snares averaged nearly A of point lower. The industriais moved up about half point, due chiefly to excited move ments in a handful of issues.
 The turnover of 2,422,900 shares was reached through some major trans actions which involved several hundred shares each. The market was in a asking everybody else: Has the peak ben reached? And. the answers re- ceived were as far apart as the, poles, wis, Well, I took my profit" and "The bull movement has just begun"
 Safety First"
 It appeared to be a case of safety first" in the rail issues, for n seemed a long time ago that the much advertised menace of government ownership with Robert M. La Toilette and his third party out of the picture, though by the calendar it has been exactly seven trading days. There is an old axiom in Wall street to the. effect that one never goes broke taking a profit. And certainly the attitude taken by many traders was that a reaction appeared due for technical reasons, if for none other.
 The bond market presented a very ir- regular front. Liberties weakened when banks, corporations and other large holders disposed of round lots of bonds because of the opportunity for greater profits in stocks and in other bonds. It is also argued that the demand for tax-exempt securities will be dulled by the fact that income taxes will be re- vised downward at the next session of congress. Even cheap call money,

IF THE indices of unskilled labor II wages and prices of basic commodi-
 ties, as compiled by the Federal Re- serve bank of New York, hold true for the entire country, the fall of 1920 saw the unskilled workers as group en- tering a situation decidedly favorable to their general prosperity. This situa- tion seems to savor of significant trend when it Is discovered to have con- tinued without a reversal during the four years which have intervened since it's first occurence. While the margin between. the prices of 20 basic com modities and the scale of unskilled wages narrowed somewhat, as shown in the above chart, during 1922, 1t has since shown a gradual widening.
 Of course the difference between these two lines does not represent margin of net profit to the unskilled worker because the heavy line indi- cates the prices of commodities before they have been fabricated into the fin ished products which the worke rin turn
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-13

must buy. Such a fabrication means the employment of other labor at price scales relatively as high as his own. Thus, the increased costs of the things he must buy materially appreciates his margin of profit. Even with this con- sideration included, however, the aver age man who works with his hands is today enjoying a comfortable degree of prosperity.
 Many people will read from the per- sistent continuation of this situation a direct result of our laws which restrict immigration. In this conclusion, they may perhaps be not far wrong because 1t has been the immigrant to our shores who has performed large percentage of our unskilled labor. Yet this does not complete the story. Since 1920, building operations have been at un- precedented high levels, and this indus try, requiring as 1t does, great numbers of manual workers, has been largely re- sponsible for the high rate of unskilled wages.

seems to me natural and proper de- sire on their part, but that workmen are themselves desirous of sharing with management the heavy burdens and re- responsibilities of management, I have yet to hear.
 "So far as am personally concerned, and so far as my personal interest in any company are, where employees have a substantial stock ownership, I should welcome rather than oppose their hav- ing representative on the board of directors.
 "As I understand it, however, the fact is that as rule where an employe Is appointed by his fellows to member ship, on the board, it invariably happens that shortly he loses the confi- dence of those who have appointed him, because they seem to feel that he has been won over to the side of the man. agement and no longer views the prob- lems from the point of view of the workers. So universally do under stand this to be the experience that I should say that workers generally have no desire for board representation.
 "what I have. said above is only my personal view, based on what I have heard and observed, and my conclu sions may be entirely wrong"
 Another reaQer QeScrlDeS at lenBln the unhappy experience of his company in attempting to give the workmen some "say" in the handling of matters directly affecting them. He declares that too many employees have not the right motive when they devise plans de- signed to appease their workers. He says, for example:
 1T read with interest your column in regard to having a workman on the board of directors.
 q am very glad to know that this Is being thought of and know the advice you give will eventually take root.
 However, must say that just stick ing a workman on the board is not a solution to our problem. The solution is a change of heart, willingness to play the game fairly, follow funda- mental laws and be honest, our problem is 99 per cent solved. Any old system will work then"

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Liverpool and the south sold on the opening, causing December to ease off considerably, but before the call was over a good demand appeared for the late months. During the first half hour the market rallied under the influence of trade buying and very little selling was in evidence dur ing the first hour after the opening, Practically all markets, including other commodities and stock, sold off during the early afternoon due to profit talk ing after the sharp advance that has occurred since election. Continued re- ports from the south indicate that spots are in very good demand. With this basic influence still continuing strong we cannot see a possibility of any de- cline of consequence in the market. Latest reports indicate spot basis 25 points higher than at any time this year. The latest mill taking figures indicate good mill buying and there Is no question that manufacturers throughout the country are looking for ward to a more active winter and can see far enough ahead in view of the re- cent elections to lay plans for a longer period than heretofore. We continue to expect higher prices in the long run.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 12.-While the market ruled rather irregular, it was somewhat reactionary today as was the case in most other speculative markets due to the desire to realize profits. Much of the after election influence on the markets has apparently spent it. self for the present, and it will likely require new developments of a bullish nature to revive the recent buying move ment. Washington weekly weather re- view was favorable. The early advance today was due mainly to advices re- ceived yesterday, when this market was closed because of the local holiday, that Lancashire spinners using American cot ton had decided to increase working hours to 39h hours effective December l. For a large part of the last season and in the early part of this one, Eng fish mills using American cotton were run only 26A hours per week, but this scheduled was increased to 32 hours per week November l and will be in creased to S91a hours December l. This increase in spindles and decrease in em- ployment denotes the rapidity with which trade is progressing abroad
 There is deided improvement in the trade outlook on this side of the At lantic. The market may work lower temporarily, but we favor buying March preferred on good depressions.-H. & B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Co.
