In the Stock Market
cBv Thomson r. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-To us 1t
seems almost useless to pay more
than passing attention to other
than the credit factor. The money
market is in a strained position, this
is self-evident from the money rates.
1t is also obvious that we cannot
afford to have additional strain
placed upon it without expecting
corresponding reaction in stock
market valuations. Brokers loan
figures will be available after the
close this afternoon and as it is
generally expected that there will
be an increase in these figures, some
substance is given to the belief that
another advance in the rediscount
rate may occur. The general mar
ket situation is tense and unless
the unexpected arrives to relieve the
situation, stock prices should work
lower.

his nightly prayers he would include also the Volstead Act. From among all the provisions of the Constitution and the great mass of Fed eral statutes, he would pick these two to be singled out for special mention in the Republican Platform for 1928
 Compared with him. Senator Curtis is luke warm. His response lacked both volume and enthusiasm. But he accepted Prohibition as fact accomplished, deed completed and not 10 be undone. Thus by comparison with Secretary Hoover, he would grade we'll up in the scale of Anti-saloon League favor
 Mr- Hoover's flair for enforcement cannot be questioned He would do his best at that job. But he seems not to have been convinced that we have Prohibition that Prohibition is a settled issue, political reform that will outast moral experiment" which the country has under taken. On that basis he would further it.
 There are millions of people who will agree with Mir. Hoover that Prohibition has been and fs an experiment II has been a very costly one not merely from dollars and cents stand point. but from it's cost in loss of respect for law, in its accompanying graft, ineompeteney in public office, invasion of private rights and in the saddlng on the American people of a system or spying and snooping without parallel in the nations history and wholly foreign to Ameri- can principles and traditions
 Mr Hoover's pledge of dry law enforcement probably will be satisfactory to Senator Borah and the Anti-saloon League but the latter will hardly consent to accept without protest his of Prohibition as an experiment

UNEMPLOYMENT INCREASING.

Sometime ago a statement was issued by the Department of Labor on conditions in general which included these words: We have unem- ployment in this country. Why not admit it.? But the tendency of oniciadom was to depreeate the seriousness of the situation to cast doubt on certain facts relative to the number of men out of work and to forecast an early improvement Just how serious the unemployment situation is was depicted recentys by the American Federa- tion of Labor which announced that dne-sixth of it's membership in 23 representative cities scattered throughout the country is out of work. Nor had the peak been reached since the Fed eration reported ideness the increase. If union labor is experiencing such conditions un- organized workers must be in more serious plight
 Secretary of Labor Davis pointed to two reme- dies for unemployment, continuation of the present high tariff walls, and keeping American money at home, not allowing it to be sent abroad for investment One of the hardest hit indus tries, one in which ideness is growing, is the textile industry Fewer spindes turning to- day than for years the number in January show ing continuing decline. Yet the textile manu- facturers have all the tariff protection they asked for. Patiently this is not the answer No lack of money for investment at home has been noted in recent years. It is difficult to understand how investment of American surplus funds in other lands can do anything except improve the worldwide situation. y
 Shortly after the first of the current year, Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, taking cognizance of the increasing ideness in that State, ordered an inquiry made as to causes and asked for recommendations of way and means for 2 remedy. The survey is we'll under way and so far has revealed greater unemploy- ment than was believed to exist. As a means of partially relieving conditions Gov. Smith pro poses to enlarge the public building program of the State
 The vast unemployment does not indicate that there is any wide degree of prosperity among the laboring element as a whole No organization whether it be labor, business or capital, that is one-sixth idle can be said to be prosperous
