 one nice thing about being Presi- dent Is that l- would settle once and for all exactly what Marshal Chang is. He has been awarded so many honors, has had so many honors taken away. has seized so many commands and had so many re sponsibilitios thrust upon him, that his technical status seems cloud"d beyond hope Of clarifieaflon save in the eyes Of certain worsaiptul s4o- ordinates 70 whom lie represents everything on earth.

 The matter of how Chang's cleo. ion may be effected forms subject for Imaginable debate among his fol. lowers. Needless 10 say, Chang is not worried over such minor trifIes; the only thing that bothers him iy the matter of political eXpediencS and the attitude of the foreign Powers.

NEW YORK, November 1S.-Ihe
new peak record Of brokers' loans re-

terday found its reflection in cesSa-
ton Of the upward movement on the
Curb Exchange during the early deal
ings today. But when it was deter
mined that no real liquidation was
coming out, and that recent buyers
were little concerned with the dlS-
closure, operations for the rise were
renewed and many new high records
We're established.
In most instances stocks selected for
leadership were moving forward mere
ly because Of their attractive earnings
and strong financial conditions. In
cluded among these were Childs pre-
ferred, up 3 points to 124, and the
new Hershey common. up more IMAM

The element favoring higher prices
was not as discriminating as it had
been early in the week. The sugar
stocks, because of the latest develop
mcnts in the efforts TO limit world
sugar output in 1928, were thought
not TO have fully discounted the i'm

1927, and Faiardo rose almost 2 points.
Fansteel Products, as speciality

marketwise--at least, that was the
speculative Wall street view--and the

soine effect on the general bond mar
ket average. There is, however, a
large Gndistributed supply Of foreign
bonds and of medium grade domestic
bonds which the record total of brok-
ers loans revealed very clearly when
the figures were published after the
closing of business yesterday.
The other angle of the situation is
that there are not enough high-grade
bonds to meet the demands of the
market. Today such bonds were
strong with new record prices scat
tered through the list. All of the Gov
ernment long-term Treasury issues
either equaled or exceeded their prevI-

Public Would Not Suffer
Mr.. Williamson said the unifica-
ton of terminals, including yards,
round houses, machine shops and
other equipment and buildings now
separately maintained at common
points, would effect q saving with
out detriment to the public service
in any case and in many instances to
it's improvement"
"The proportion Of freight train
expense which must be allocated to
terminal handling as distinguished
from road haul is SO large that the
field Of economy in terminal savings
is larger than generally supposed"
he said.
'Of the total freight train service
expense of the Northern line, ap-
proximately 40 per cent is charge
able to yard operations. Because Of
the large seasonal fluctuation in
traffic yards, expenses cannot, at
many points, be reduced in relation
to the decrease in traffic because a
minimum organization must be
maintained. The minimum organi-
cation can handle from 90 to 80 per
cent more cars without correspond
ing increase in its size."
