NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--The stock
S1narket struck up its 5000, OO0-share
istride at the turn of the year, but
was unable to continue the spec
ltacular advance in prices recorded
sduring the last two weeks of De-
Scember, despite the drop in money
crates from IL to per cent.
Buying orders poured in for the
speculative favorites on "wednesday
sand Thursday. but unloading by
7the big traders and some of the
pools was so heavy that there was
Imore than enough stock to meet all
requirements, and only in excep.
Etional cases were the high-priced
favorites able to gain much ground.
1.-THE motor stocks and the coppers
lhad the benefit of very favorabl"
developments in their industries,
land the railroad stocks were buoyed
upward by the brilliant perform
Rnces of the important transporta-
4tion lines.
A $23S, O0O, 900 increase in brokers
loans for the week ended January
tells the whole story of the re.
recovery of the stock
market from the violent slump of
early December. 1t shows very
plainly that the outside public has
again been enticed into the market
ready to buy it's head off, with
slender capital, and borrowing more
heavily from the brokers and the
banks.
A few more "shake-outs," such
as that which ended December 8,
will eventually convince SPECTATORS
that it is not always safe plan
to follow inflated stocks to the
highest price levels on the promise
of earnings and returns for the
distant future. OF course, the pro-
fessionals supply most of the motive
power behind the violent lacking
up of stock prices, but they are
shrewd enough to step from under
when prices reach the peaks.

THREAT To CALL

1t doesn't always work to tell a
detective you'll call a policeman
unless he ceases moIesting you.
Joseph James Jordan, II, coIored.
1900 block Thirteenth St, N. w,
realized this today as he was held
at the Eighth precinct for inyesti.
cation.
Jordan was sealed in an auto
mobile of K. l.. Jones and ]. J.,
Tolson, detectives of the Eighth
precinct. when they emerged from
house in the 400 block Chaplin
st. N w, where they had been in
vestigating a case.
What are you doing boy" one
of the officers asked Jordan.
I'm sitting here in my car" the
youth replied.
On being questioned a bit more,
Jordan fired at the detectives:
IF you don't let me alone I'll
call policeman"
He was searched and the detec.
tives said they found in his pos.
session several articles they had left
in the automobile.

WALL STREET IS
AGAINST KING
BILL
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

Copyright. 1929. by Universal service)
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-WaH
Street goes merrily on its way,
oblivious of the fact that William
II. King, Senator from Utah, has
hopes of legislating its most
profitable brokerage activities out
of existence.
The discussion in this column
of Senator Kings bill is. 4925h
which is now before the Judiciary
Committee, and, If a. opt
would prevent the use of tho
mails and other communication
facilities in furtherance OF mar
ginal or bucketshop transac-
tons, and of his proposed bill to
prevent member banks in the
Federal Reserve system from
financing marginal transactions.
has already begun to provoke
comment.
Paul NJ. Warburg, chairman
of the International Acceptance
Bank, and former vice governor
of the Federal Reserve Board.
said: While ] am in sympathy
with what Senator King wants
to bring about, extreme measures
such as he proposes would do
more harm than good. History
affords plenty Of evidence to
that effect"
Mr.. Warburg doubtless had in
mind the German exchange act
Of 1896 which sought TO abolish
marginal trading and short sell
ing, but which proved a failure
and was in essential respects re-
pealed a decade later.
As long as the trend in the
stock market is upward, there
seems to be little or no chance
of passing such restrictive legisla-
ton. However, with the broad
public participation in the stock
market there is hazard that
amateurs, after being badly
burned in a sustained downward
swing of security prices, might.
agitate for redress in the ma
tional legislature. Accordingly. in
the public interest, it is import.
ant that these issues be anaylZed
and thoroughly comprehended.
Unquestionably there h v e
been vigorous abuses in Wall
Street during the bull cycle. 1t
Is also doubtless true that mar
ginal trading. especially when the
margin is thin. is fraught with
grave hazards. But Congress
should recognize that it is folly
to attempt to repair the delicate
handspring of a watch with a
sledgehammer. In discussing
birth control. Bernard Shaw.
arguing against the outlawing of
everything that is capable of
abuse. said that he wouldn't
abolish handwriting merely be-
cause there are forgers.
