Permission, and large blocks OF some

Labor Day marks the advent OF
the most prosperous season OF the
year in many industries: Call

low rates, and q number Of special
developments. particularly in the
transportation industry. lie directly
ahead. Wall Street believes that
the public Is heavily short Of the

stocks, and professional bulls are
therefore unwilling to relinquish
their hold on prices.

slightly higher, but trading in these
stocks was In small volume. Rail-
road and mercantile stocks were
inactive and generally higher;

Leaders Optimistic No Matter
What May Happen to
Stock Market

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Will the
forward movement in Industrial
and railroad stocks carry prices OF
representative stocks, as well as
the averages" to much higher than
current levels? Will the railroad
stocks make good the general ex
pectation OF aggressive leadership
in another forward movement?
How about the oils? The coppers!
The utilities? The equipment
stocks? Can they be expected to
move much higher before the bull
market of 1924.25. is definitely
halted. These are the prevailing
questions in Wall street and all
the little Wall streets in the coun-
try. today, and expert opinion Is by
no means arrayed entirely on one
or the other side Of the question:
As to the immediate outlook for
general business and industry
there is much less variance in ex'
pert opinion. Cheerfulness and OPP
timism are typical American traits,
and are often on display when I'M
warranted by actual conditions.
But enough is definitely known
plants and activities Of commodity
markets and the requirements OF
these markets in the next six
months or so to warrant the Ger.
tainty Of an unusually active and
prosperous season, for which prac-
tically every department Of Ameri-
can industry are now in prepare
ton.
Those who Judge the market by
the chart have every reason to
look for still higher prices, based
on the ability of average prices to
break through" the previous high
points, and to hold their advances
with only moderate reactions.
But chart-reading has hardly
reached the point OF being an exact
science, and many active traders
will have no part Of 1t.
theoretically, the market IL sup
posed to keep about six months
ahead of general economic develop
ments, and the best things consid-
cred, win the best rewards from
the stock market.

The melting point Of the glacier

GASOLINE STOVE
NECESSARY FOR
EVERY CAMP Err

In considering the culinary part
of the motor camper s outfit, first
comes the matter Of stoves. For
an extended trip both the gasoline
and wood stove can be used to
good advantage. While the gaso-
line stove is quicker and more
efficient, a few campers prefer the
wood burning stove. There is some
thing akin to glory in cooking over
an open fire and somehow meat
brolled over q bed Of Goals has a
flavor that no other method Of
cooking can duplicate. ~ -
For cooking an occasional meal
over the open fire, a wire camp
grid will be found useful. 1t is

oline stove. If a vote was taken
among number Of experienced
campers, the two burner type gaso-
line stove, with folding oven would
undoubtedly gain preference over
any other type Of cooker.
