SHOOTING STARS.
BY pHrLASDER JOHNSON,


Right Along.
Gold old sun is northward swingin'.
Son the birds will be a-singin'.
And we'll all be joinin' In the song.
Though men make q demonstration
That creates some CONSERVATION.
This old world keeps moyin' right
along.
Up In the clouds and sent US;
Then. TO ocean depths tremendous.
Following each thriller for the throng.
Though for wreckage men seem ready,
At a pace still true and steady.
This old world keeps moyin' right
along.

When the other day 1t was announced
that the total Of brokers' loans under
the Federal Reserve System amounted
to $3.50, 100000. the highest figure
since the establishment of the system.
the New York Stock Market took a
tumble" The bears had big inning
and at the close of the days trading,
which amounted to 3,3S4,S45 shares,
they had taken heavy toll in the
paper profits of the spectators. Within
few hours, however, recovery was eff
fected and the resiliency of the market
was proved by advances that redeemed
those losses fully. Meanwhile. the sig
nificance of the record volume of brok-
ers' loans has been studied and the first
impression of dangerous imitation of
credit has been in great measure cor
rected.
Uncuestionably there has been a
marked increase in the amount of
credit granted to individual operators
in the stock exchanges and to brokers'
In the past thirty days the figure has
advanced about 500, Ooo. 900. and at this
time these loans are about a billion dol
lars in excess of year ago. The qIes-
ton has arisen whether an increase in
the interest rates might necessarily fol-
low, but so far there has been no move
in this direction.
This great swelling Of the volume OF
brokers loans Is due. 1t is evident. to
increased speculative activity. These
loans are all secured by collateral
which has a present higher value than
the total OF the money advanced. The
point Of danger Is in any shrinkage in
that valuation. II. for instance. the
bear move OF day before yesterday
should have continued for three or four
days with successive declines, many of
these loans would have been called as
the margin Of security diminished with
the falling price quotations. With
heavily loaded credit list 1t would take
only, few successive calls OF loans to
start an accelerating downward move
ment.
On the other hand. it is believed that
there are substantial interests, amply
supplied with funds. that are prepared.
to block any decided bear movement
tending to break the credit line and to
precipitate q general calling OF loans.
That this is so is evidenced by the
fact that on numerous occasions since
the present bull market" gained head
way. when the bears have had their
temporary successes, heavy buying Or
ders have been thrown into the mar
ket on important and especially at
tackled lines with the result of check
ing the slip backward. #.@
OF course. q bull market cannot con-
tinue indefinitely. There is a natural
limit to the range OF prices. Indeed. at
present 1t Is believed that most~stocks
are at prices beyond their real value.
Certainly the dividend yield is at low
percentage. Yet there was never time
Of such rich dividends as those that are
now being paid TO stockholders. II the
year 1928 should continue on the pros
perity scale OF 1925 and 1927 those
dividend returns may be increased. In
that case there Is no reason to look
for sharp and long continued break
In the stock quotations. II there is no
such break the great volume Of brokers
loans. the enormous extension Of credit
which they represent. will not be
source Of danger to the financial health
Of the country.

Papa" Joffre has been ailing for
several months and late in June
there were rumors that he was in a
