EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Influence Of the Speculator.
ny GEORGE T. HUGHES.

lUHucUCC Va tUC
Stocks 60 up and stocks 60 down
sometimes because investors buy them
or investors sell them as the case may
be. More often they so up or they go
down because of the operations of the
speculator. So in attempting an ex-
PLANTATION of the movement of any
particular stock. especially II 1t be an
active one traded In daily on one of the
big exchanges we are pretty safe In
attributing II to transactions for Specu-
lative account
Let us analyye 1t for minute We
will suppose that New York Central Is
paying as 1t Is today an So dividend
annually. Let us suppose also that
earnings are increasing so that the
directors could II they see fit raise this
rate to $40. At first thought 1t might
be considered that purchasers would
wait until the rate had been raised
before buying. for not until then could
they set the increased income. That is
not the market way. however. The buy
ing is done and the stock goes up
before the dividend is raised. and the
Spectator Is responsible. He buys be-
cause he anticipates what is going to
happen. That is what the word specu-
late signifies. a watching out or peer
ing ahead. He buys before the dividend
is raised so that he can sell to some
one else after the event and realize a
profit.
Hence we see that stocks go up In
anticipation of some favorable event
and only occasionally when the event
has actually been realized. In the
majority Of instances the price of the
stock discounts" as the Wall Street
phrase has it what is going to happen
The same thing happens in the reverse
order when something unfavorable Is
impending. The stock almost always
goes down before the trouble has be-
come actual.
The exceptions to these rules are
when no one is able to foresec the good
or the bad development. In that case
there is no speculation because no one
is able to look ahead into the future.

SHOT FOR REFUSING TO PAY
 340,o00 DOLLAR POKER DEBT

NEW YORK Arnold Rothstein, one of Broadway's biggest gamblers, was shot and desperately wounded in row in Park Central hotel over a $S40,000 poker debt, which he had refused to pay because he said the game was crooked. The bullet. fired by an antagonist whose identity is mystery, entered his abdomen and Rothstein was rushed to a hospital in dying condition. He steadfastly refused to name his assailant or dis cuss events leading up to the shoot ing. Blood transmission was resorted to in an effort to save the victims life. Police are seeking George Me- Manus, who operated floating games under the Rothstein chain store polk CT system, to question. They say his overcoat, with data giving his name and telephone numbers, was found in the room. where the shoot ing occurred. McManus, brother of former police lieutenant Thomas Me- manus, also known as Hump" Me- Manus, is said to be a descendant of the McManus, well known politician.

LARGE HERDS OF CARIBOU
 ARE REPORTED IN INFERIOR

Caribou herds whose numbers were so great that it was a physical impossibllity to make any accurate estimate almost literally covered the Rapids country. according to E. B. Collins, assistant U. S. attorney, and Ralph R. Reeser, who returned to Fairbanks from hunting trip along the Richardson Highway, says the Fairbanks News-Miner.
 A point few miles south of Rap ids seemed to be the common meet ing ground for the animals, which fairly swarmed over the mountains to meet in the valley beneath. The route of march was up the Delta river along the bars and the num- bers of the main herd were constant ly added to along the way.
 The hunters report that the cari- bou displayed no fear of them, many passing only a few feet from their car. They tried on several different occasions to estimate the numbers but the herd was too big for anything more than a mere guess. They are certain there were hundreds of thou sands of caribou and perhaps more than a million. A curious fact noted was that bulls outnumbered cows in ration of three to one to five to one.
 Just how many herds of like size there are now in the Interior is also matter of guess work. Travellers from down river report an immense herd below Tolovana. One man es- timated the herd to be ten miles long and a quarter of a mile wide, with the caribou milling close together in that space.

ALASKA METAL PRODUCTION
 OUTLOOK IS GOOD

Statistics of the mineral produc- ton of Alaska indicate that for 1928 1t will be about the same as last year. For the first half of the year produc- tion was about $50O.OO0 less than for the corresponding period of 1927, but the latter half of the year invari- ably shows substantial increase in the gold output from the returns from the dredges, of which several more are operating this year.
 Production of copper, which is the principal item In the metal output, declined in the first half of the year by $832,132. The decrease was part ly offset by the increase in gold pro- duction, which was greater than for the corresponding period of last year by $296,735 and is likely to show an increase for the entire year of about s1, 100000 This increase will re- suit from the greater activity of AL aska Juneau and the new dredging operations of the Fairbanks Explora- tion company.
 Production of silver shows de- cline. Lead is about the same. The returns of tin production are not available till near the end of the year

SAYS ANGL0-FRENCH PACT
 WAS GREAT BLUNDER

-viscount Gray, of Fal- loden, speaking at luncheon of lib eral party leaders, declared that the government must recognize great blunder had been made in the Anglo French pact. 'If they are to pull the country back into the rut of ac- cepted foreign policy" he declared, "they must take steps to repair as far as possible the consequences of the blunder." Lord Grey. asserted that the effect of the proposed pact had been to set back all further dis cussions of naval agreement for pe- riod, at any rate, and to turn peo- ple's thoughts in the United States to building of large cruisers.
