Early this year, the company brought out a medium priced car in addition to it's regular high priced models. Large increases in business were reported during the first ten months of the year.
 Stutz stock was one of the sensa- lions of Wall street in 1920, the year of the famous "Stutz corner,' in connection with which Allan A. Ryan. son of the late Thomas For tune Ryan, was expelled from mcn- Dership in the New York Stock EH- change. Tho elder Ryan's disap proval of the Stutz corner was be- lieved to have been one of the ma .ior causes of the younger Ryans disinheritancc.
 The stock rose from $7o to S39I a share before the stock exchange suspended trading and began an ln- vestigation which resulted in Ryan s expulsion. Ryan and his associates were said 10 have made shorts pay $551.25 g share for the stock. It later sold as high as SPA a share on the curb market. In 1921, how ever, it dropped to S49.5O, and con inued downhill until 1924, when it touched $4.62.
 There arc now outstanding nearly S00,00O shares, ont of an authorized capital ot 460,0o0 shares. Funded debt totals $GS9.000. The company's last balance sheet as of Oct. 5l, 1928, shows total assets of $6,342, l05, current assets amounting 10 more than ono-third of the total.

PASTOR PRAISES
HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct. ST.
The Rev. Frederick NJ. Eliot. Har-
ward. II, of St. Paul, who is
pres ching at Appleton Chapel. finds
that Harvard students lack the
ultra -collegiatism of undergraduates
of Western universities and are
much more studious.
Harvard students seem to spend
much more time in their studies
and in their readings. but, on the
whole, have not lost their es gerness
for outside activities. They have a
definite purpose to grasp what the
college has to offer.
Stating his opinions in an inter
view, the Rev Mr.. Eliot said that
Harvard undergraduates hS d changed
great deal for the better since his
own time. This is attributed to the
tutorial system. which had much to
do with breaking down the old atti-
tude Of enmity between pupil and
instructor.
1t had enriched the contacts ma de
and induced students to show more
interest in their studies. especially
in outside reading. At Harvard ana
at colleges where the tutorial svs-
tom had been adopted there We're
fewer students who had gone to
college because it was the thing to
do.
He dccried the fck OF such a
system in the Western universities.
where so-calIed colleGiatism was be-
coming more rampant rather than
dying out.
Men are coming to America 9
oldest university with more Criti-
cal attitude than ever before" he
said. They weigh what they see
and hear and draw therefrom their
own conclusions. The college itself
is to be thanked for the growing
prevalence of this attitude"

MICHIGAN BEARS
KILL SHEEP,
EAT FRUIT

ROGERS CITY, Mich, Oct. 81
Unless the closed season is lifted
on bears, the raising OF sheep in this
part of Michigan will have to cea se, "
in the opinion of Al Thompson, Con-
servatio1 Officer.
Milo Storm, Case Township
farmer, lost "a sheep in one night.
Thompson was called to make an ad-
iustment and issued an order for
payment for 1S carcasses.
Albert Woids, a farmer in Metz
Township, saw a bear attack one of
his sheep and when he yelled bruin
took to the woods. The past sum.
mer there have been MANY com.
plants regarding the loss OF sheep
through the activities Of bears and
the State has been compelled to pay
the loss.
Destroy Fruit, Too
According to Thompson the farm.
ers say there Is no chance to raise
sheep and feel secure that they will
reap profit from the industry.
Bears are much more numerous
than In former years in this section
The conservation department |.
practically unable to do ANYTHING
The Legislature has been toe
friendly TO bruin in the last few
years. Members Of that BODY who
live in the southern part OF the
state laugh at the idea OF the
slaughter Of the bear family.
They assert that the bear Is
harmless and that he should be
protected as one of Michigan
animal relics. The members of the
Legislature who live in the north,
ern part Of the State and have to
deal with bruin know what he does
in the way Of destroying sheep and
fruit orchards. but they are in the
minority and are outvoted when il
comes to passing a law curbing the
Outrages the farmers have to en-
dure.
Four In Apple Tree
Throughout northern Michigan
bears have been seen by motorists
In numerous instances. Thompson
says he went by an orchard anC
he saw four bears at one apple
tree, one bear in the tree and thu
others on the ground. They were
not only eating the fruit, but break
ing the limbs and destroying thu
trees.

EXPECTFORE|GN
BORROWERS
IN j. {.
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

Easier money, expected by
Treasury experts following the col
lapse of stock prices, will have the
effect of once more stimulating
foreign borrowing in the United
States, officials predicted today.
Owing to high money rates and
the prediction of the American
investing public for stocks rather
the bonds in the past 18 months,
foreign borrowers virtually have
been barred from this market.
For the first nine months, flota.
ton of foreign bonds in United
States amounted to an aggregate
of $56S, 500 900, the lowest of any
year since the reconstruction period
Foreign borrowing began to fall Off
during the closing months OF 1928
when the speculative boom got
under way.
Sees New Record
Officials estimated that foreign
fotations would pick up but would
not exceed 500 100000 or $500, 900, :
900 at the most in 1929, compared
to 81 .5y2 ,549, 900 in 1927 and $l,4S7, =
sci 900 in 1928.
The first half OF 1928 indicated
that a new high record would he
established for foreign investments,
figures for that eriod having eX-
ceeded any previous record. When
America got an appetite for stocks,
however, the foreigners were
forced to look elsewhere for the
capital to keep their governments
and industrials moving. England
probably got a good share, although
not in a POSITION to loan. as did
the United States in The preceding
years.
In the third quarter of 1929
July, August and September-for-
eign borrowing in this market was
$82. 900 900. compared to $266,6ll 600
in the same period of 1927, and
$154,828,8OO in 1928. Foreign flota-
tiOns for the entire year Of 1924
were $1.219 900 900: 1925, 81, ,329 ,O0U,,
900, and 1925, $l,31S, ,000, 900.
Prefer Bond Issues
Officials pointed out that foreign
borrowers prefer to raise their cor
porate capital requirements through
bond issues rather than stocks. All
| the government issues, OF course,
are of bond and these make up a
| considerable portion Of the annual
| borrowing from abroad.
! With the decline of interest rates
| and the probable reduction of the
| reserve redisCOunt rates long tIm"
| bonds will again come back into
| favor as an Investment. Since the
| foreign bonds usually bear excel
| lent interest rates they are expected
| to resume their former popularity
| provided easy money conditions pre-
| vail next year.
American stock issues this year
| increased over the 1928 total by
over $500 900, 900, according tC
government reports while domestic
| bond issues showed a 100000. .00C
| decline. Stock issues of financia
institutions were $1.250 900 900 over
the 1928 total and industrial issues
| showed a gain of $750,0O0,0 900.

of the service rendered By

Ia the fact that it provides q

Schwab and James A. Farrell, Is re-
flected through the entire industry,
the Iron Ago states in its weekly
market summary.
Sentiment - cheerful, the review
continues. based on the feeling of
security in the knowledge that the
industry has been free from infla-
ton. in sharp contrast with the Sc
curities market.
Stock marl;et liquidation, the re-
view states, has not materially dis
turbed sentiment in the iron and
steel trade.
Although aware that steel demand
may be affected by Wall Street
losses, the review adds. particularly
in requirements of manufacturers Of
consumer goods, the trade is not dis
posed to eXaSserate that possibility.
In the same calm spirit the situation
is being carefully surveyed with an
eye to favorable results that may en-
sue, with particular attention to the
