 The stock market presents mix ture of sound and unsound specula- tion. and k Is to be hoped the bet ter phase will prevail. The political campaign has not been an unsettlins influence in business.

stock market, whose brokers' loans at present are greater than the credit extended to the agricultural industry, our foreign trade and our automobile industry.
 ''The primary thought back of the establishment Of the federal reserve system in 1913 was credit for pro- duction with special reference to our domestic situation'." McFadden said.
 There is ample credit of all kinds In the United States for nor- maj and legitimate use in necessary tools of production and in creating an adequate method of distribution. in addition to producing all We can consume and export, provided 1t is properly used or managed.
 .The difficulty in that respect is that there seems to be no standard of practice in the proper use of credit and no instrumentality that has the power, which can lead or direct or in an emergency force those who deal in credit to sub scribe to and borrow on sound prin- ciples. It is the duty of yise states manship to establish a standard and preserve the proper balance to the end that capital needs and the needs of industry and commerce shall not |suffer."
