storm, and pricesl of all classes OF
stocks closed l to Is points higher on
the day.
Judged by the averages the recov-
cry was even more impressive and
extensive than any single days de-
cline, the industrials rebounding
more than 40 points and the rails la =
most 31s points. Total sales were
calculated by Associated Press tab
ulators at 2,77S,200 shares as COM
parede with 3,317,700 yesterday, and
3,7S5,700 in the record breaking ses-
sion on March 8. II
While strong banking support was
apparent from the opening of the
market, particularly for some of the
high grade railroad and industrial
issues which apparently had been de-
pressed well below their intrinsic
worths, the rise was generally re-
garded as a correction of an OBJ
viously oversold condition. The spec
ulative pendulum in Wall Street in
variably swings to extremes in both
directions. Although most stock
market. observers agreed that the
market was entitled to at least a
technical rally" there is still wide
divergence of opinion as to whether
it will continue and how far it will
extend.
Wall Street breatheed a sigh Of re-
lief today when it became apparent
that the selling movement had been
checked. SO widespread had been
the rumors that some of the large
brokerage and banking firms were
in distress that several brokers vol
unteered to help one of the largest
firms in the street which is reported
to have sold $3.50, 100000 in securities
only to learn that this institution was
loaning millions of dollars in the call
money market, some of it to their
own firms.
Announcement of new stock Offer
ings. which had been withheld dur
ing the severe, decline, was accepted
in many quarters as an indication
that bankers believed "the worst was
over" Lehman Brothers offered a
$2,000,o0O issue of s percent cumula-
tive preferred stock of the CONSOLE
dated Retail Stores. Inc, operating a
chain in the south and middle west,
and Shields and Company announced
an issue of 10000 of no par value
preference stock of the Fanny Farm
er Candy Shops, Inc, operating 10
stores in ten large cities of the coun-
try.
One Of the most encouraging items
was the suggestion in the weekly
steel trade reviews that there had
been no widespread cancellation of
orders such as followed market
breaks in the past. Motor car COM
paniese, whose stocks have borne the
brunt of much of the selling. rushed
into print with reports Of record
breaking production and sales. Oil
companies also provided number Of
unusual favorable earning reports.

A Pitiful Tragedy.

The pitiful spectacle of thirty men
drowning in the Hudson River on
their way to their new-found jobs
after weeks of waiting for employ
ment is one of the saddest this
country has ever witnessed. There
is little idleness in the United States
today. but in places there are accu-
mutations of surplus workers, some
of them skilled. others unskilled, who
cannot place themselves because of
a surplus of labor in their localities.
These men had eagerly grasped at
an opportunity to work, and were
crossing the river in a power barge
TO enroll and begin earning wages.
SO happy were they at the prospect
of employment that they were sing
ing and their joy at their good for
tune proved a factor In their disaster.
For when the ice foes swung the
it to careen and their song turned
to cries for help, those ashore who
could have reached them quickly
mistook the sound of their voices for
continued rejoicings instead of plead
ings. The accident, however. oc-
Cured so swiftly that even with i'm
mediate response some would prob
ably have been drowned. AS it was,
thirty were surely swept to death and
perhaps ten more, while only twenty
seven of the original sixty-seven
were succored. No grimmer tragedy
has been enacted in American life
for long time. These men were
not idlers. They wanted to work.
and they went to their prospective
employments in a happy mood. only
to go to their death. A grim re-
minder, indeed. that is the more
poignant because of the nearness of
the Christmas season, that even in
the most prosperous country on
earth there is sorrow for many.

many as against for the few of varsity
caliber. and purely from the stand
point Of entertainment for Americans
who like to be entertained. this can
be said: Diminution of the emphasis

would just about eliminate two other

minor college sports.
People will not pay IS to see a
basket ball game or a track meet.
They will gladly pay that. and more,
for ticket to a good foot ball game.
Perhaps the average purchaser Of the
popular pasteboard feels that he is
thereby blowing" himself. or some
other less fortunate than he, to base
ball game, a crew race, or even q
trapshOoting contest. Foot ball seems
to be the heavy sugar papa" of all
