the SPECULATIVE side of the stock mar
ket but they are not typical Of the gen.
eral investment market, which includes
not only the market leaders, but many
inactive stocks as well. AS result,
averages usually reflect what the leaders
are doing, but they do not tell the story
which is most interesting to the rank
and file Of investors throughout the
country At the present time, for In
stance, while the markets speculative
leaders are near their November peaks,
most issues have fallen well below those
levels.
Stocks Feature New Financing.
For the first time in history, new
financing In December exceeded the bill
lion dollar mark and total new financ-
ing for the year 1928 was almost eight
and one-half billion, which exceeds any
previous year. Lately the most signifl-
{ changes in the output of new
securities has been the increase in new
stocks. These large stock flotations were
POSSIBLE because of the rising stock
market, which lately created the nee
essary atmosphere of optimism so essen
tial in the marketing of new stock
issues. At the same time tight money
conditions caused falling bond prices
and reduced the number of new bonds
issued.
This is a natural phenomenon of this
phase of a bull market, and although in
December only 80 per cent of the new
issues were bonds, while 10 per cent
were stocks, when the two markets are
again functioning under more normal
relationship it is to be expected that
more bonds than stocks will again be
turned out. In the past the ratio has
11vy hooYa n
per cent bonds, and it is improbable
that even the present mania for common
stock has radically upset this relation
ship.
The following industries absorbed the
greatest amount Of new capital in De-
cember, whether by issuing new stocks
or bonds:

heard in Wall Street. At present with
each leading bank the final arbiter Of
the value of the stocks in the loan en-

has caused some confusion. The differ
ence in some cases ranges from $25 to

bankers has been suggested to meet
daily to decide on the lending value of

NEW YORK, January 17.--Most stock
averages" have risen recently above
the high point attained in late Novem-
Der, indicatino that today the general
market is higher than at that time. A
closer analysis of the situation, how
ever, shows that majority of stocks
throughout the country are now actu-
ally selling at lower prices than in No
vember.
In the following table is given the
percentage of stocks in New York and
on the local markets which rose and
the percentage which fell between the
two peaks. These figures show that
owe" the country as whole 63 per cent
of the stocks have shown net losses for
the past six weeks. while 81 per cent
have shown net gains

The fact is that of some 1000 differ
ent stocks listed on the various stock
exchanges which were active enough to
sell during the period. TAO rose. while
1850 declined This easily explains why
the securities which many people own
have not risen with the market leaders
to new high levels.
Market Leaders.
It has been calculated that on day
when trading on the Stock Exchange
runs to 100000 shares, about 5000, 900
of the sales will be concentrated in only
so issues. while the balance of 1000, 900
shares of trading will be distributed
among $50 other issues. In other words,
there is great concentration of specu-
lative interest in only a few of the
stocks.
Since most stock averages are made
up of list of 20 or IS stocks, most of
which are chosen from among the mar
ket leaders, these averages represent

SUMMARY

The barometric pressure was still
very slightly above normal prac-
ticall- throughout the United States
at the morning observation. Light
to heavy local showers and thunder
storms occurred from New Mexico
and extreme western plains north
eastward nearly to the Great Lakes.
Showers were reported also from
the Atlantic coast states and from
southern Utah. Temperatures con-
tinue near the seasonal average
practically throughout the country.

Family.of-Means Daughter.

We talked today with a mother who
finds herself in middle life possessed
Of more means than she ever hoped
for. Her husband was killed in an
accident, and the double indemnity
clauses Of his insurance policies have
brought to her q sum exceeding
100000.
She has an only daughter, and I'll
though the latter was never overpopu-
lar, she Is now being courted by sever
al young men with serious intentions"
OF course the implication is obvious.
How can she make sure her daughter
will not marry man who Is chiefly
interested in her worldly goods?
Most heiresses are carefully schooled,
before making their social debut, in the
art Of discerning fortune hunting young
men. The result is, however, that they
see everything In terms Of money, and
their overcaution results in q condi-
ton that Is unhappy too.
men also possessed of means, and also
apprehensive they are being married
for their money. A loveless marriage,
however well financed, usually ends
up in indifference followed by Separa-
ton. and eventually divorce.
What has this to do with the daugh-
ter above, or other daughters in like
position? They should marry according
to their loves, and not try too hard to
find dollar signs in their suitors' loving
eyes.
Almost every young man would rather
fall in love with a girl Of some means
than a poor girl, and it is just possible
that they fall in love more readily and
retain their respect for them after
marriage.
Certainly when a girl has formed a
circle Of friends Of one sort she can
not easily dismiss them, and start anew
making social contacts. At least she
knows her friends for what they are,
and If she accepts young man she
is likely to be sure Of her status with
him.
II ample means enables her to at
tract the man of her heart and desire,
why should she not make use Of them?
II ample means helps to attract that
man, why refuse the help Of her money?
The more common sense employed In
marriage or match making, and the less
sentiment, the longer marriage will last
and the happier it is destined to be.
Many a poor girl cannot afford to

Stalactites and Stalagmites.

These two words look alike, sound
alike and in many ways they are alike.
The stalactite and stalagmite have the
same appearance and are formed by the
same process, but still they are differ
ent. Which are you?
When liquid lime falls from the cell
ing Of cavern, it forms the stalactite
in the shape of mineral icicle. The
stuff which drops from the stalactite on
the ceiling above to the floor below be-
comes the stalagmite. One Is formed
from above, the other from below.
There's where the difference lies.
The human stalactite IS the strong,
original person. The stalagmite, Is re-
ceptive and initiative, and does not take
the initiative In the cavern, the num-
Der of these StalactiteS and stalagmites
Is equally balanced, for they go in pairs,
but the poor stalagmite Is always secon-
dairy and dependent.
The same is true in the great cavern
Of the world. There you find two sorts
Of people-the vigorous, creative indi-
ceptive individual. It Is more blessed
to be stalactite and give than to be a
Stalagmite and merely receive.
The StalactiteS of the community are
the inventors, the artists, the go-getters.
The stalagmites are the consumers, the
servants. the hangers-on. The stalactite
comes from the lofty ceiling of things
and Is the individual unique and SUI
perior. The stalagmite below looks to
him for praise and support.
Among your acquaintance are some
girls who have pep and influence. They
can get the best Jobs, arrange the
slickest parties and grab the most de-
sirable friends. Some people may think
them snobbish and stuck up, which may
be the case here and there; but you
know that they are superior.
You would like to be among these
loftier people who act from above just
as the stalactite hangs from the ceiling;
you would like to, but you are afraid.
Or you think you haven't the power
to be one of the lofty crowd.
Well, girls, its just as simple for the
stalactite above to hang on to its posi-
ton and feed the stalagmite below as
1t is for the doodad below to grow up
from the floor.
You've been working the stalagmite
game from below long time. Why not
try to reverse the process and put your
self in the high position of the stall
actite?
