STOCK MARKET NOW FACES
TEST AFTER RECENT BREAK

ing rallied about one-third Of the
average decline, further liquidation will
set in. Normally. market that has
had a break of the proportions of last
week should recover about one-half OF
it's average loss before it turns down.
ward again.
From observations made in Wall
Street the damage done by last weeks
break was not so severe on those who
have been participants in the bull
market as that of June.
An after effect of the break has been
a larger volume of odd-lot buying than
at any time this year. The houses that
specialize in this business have been
sWamped this week. On the decline
hundreds OF small buying orders that
have been on their books were executed.
Evening star., 1928-12-13

averages are around $50, whereas dur
ing most of the period since 1919 they
were closer to half that figure. High
priced stocks tend to move over a
wider point range than low priced ones,
so that with the averages around $50
it seems reasonable to consider that one
has bought stocks low enough in the
present reaction when stocks can be
bought within points of the exact
low of the averages.
1t would seem that those who have
made up their minds to buy stocks
during the present reaction will have
more than six trading days in which
to buy at very satisfactory prices. In
addition, since the market will probab-
ly take several sharp dips downward,
each time coming very close to rock
bottom prices, the investor need not
worry about missing the low point the
first time.

Contemporary newspaper accounts OF
the British assault on Washington and
the burning of the White House and
other notable events of the War of 1912
are contained in the files of the London
Weekly News from July 10, 1914, to
September 10. 1915, just secured by the
Library of Congress.
This old file contains material no.
where else available on the sort OF In.
formation the British public received
from their armies in America.
The issue of October 2, 1914, contains
a report of the capture OF Washington
oy Mai. Gen. Robert Ross. commander
Of the invading army. dated "Tonnant.
In the Patuxet, August 80" The same
issue contains accounts OF the event
from Rear Admiral Cockhurn and Vice
Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane. These
are followed by accounts reprinted from
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore papers,
Text of Reports.
Various items tell of the capture
of British vessels by the American
privateerS, the Wilson Croker, the
True Blooded Yankee and the Wasp. In
the issue of October Is. 1914, appears
the headline;
Important news from America
Alexandria taken and reported capture
of PlattSburg"
The next number. october %. takes
a different tone. II says:
we regret that We have this week a
sad catalogue of reverSeS to communi-
cate to our readers on the subject of
our Quarrel with America. We had
fondly hoped, when We heard OF the
capture of Washington. and of the
other plans in progress TO distress the
enemy on his own shores that the war
was about to assume that shape in
which in our conception. it alone can
terminate successfully. We had con-
templated with satisfaction the prospect
of defensive operations on the side of
Canada and offensive ones along the
coast from Cape Henry TO Sandy Hook.
This prospect, alas has not been real
lied BY attempting offensive opera
tons on both points We have succeeded
in neither: and the enemy, emboldened
by our failure, now resumes the con-
test with additional spirit
Other Accounts.
Accounts follow of the death of Gen.
Ross, the failure of the attack on Balti-
more, an0 the obstruction OF the British
feet before Piattsburg The account of
the latter is as follows:
On the 18th the English and Amer
lean SQuadronS on Lake Champiain
came in sight of each other, and
desperate battle ensued. It would seem
the former sought the action which
appears to have been in concert with
some attempt on Plattsburg. a town of
importance. about 80 miles up the
Western shore of the lake.
The British commander. Capt. Fish
er, was killed early in the fight and
this unfortunate event threw the YES
sells under his command into great
confusion. The contest, however, con-
tinued until the whole British force,
except some boats which escaped by
rowing, was either taken or DESTROYED.
