A Wall Street Spasm.

Students Ut American nnance nnu
the stock market a poor index OF the
actual economic condition Of the coun-
try. From the historical standpoint
Wall street is a fallacious guide to the
true trend of affairs. For from time to
time, frequently in some seasons and
more rarely in others, come spasms OF
semi-panic in the street" that afford
no true indication Of the state Of
things, passing quickly, followed by up
ward reactions that in themselves are
unreliable indices.
Yesterdays last-hour ''bear" move
ment in Wall street was one Of these
Elusive manifestations. It wiped out an
immense value of paper profits. 1t per-
haps brought bankruptcy to many spec
Mators. It enriched others, those who
''play the market" on the side Of falling
prices and who have only rare occasions
for sweeping operations.
Analysis of the conditions leading to
that spasm of selling reveals several
specific causes. One in particular was
q announcement by a supposedly au-
thoritative commentator on financial
affairs to the effect that big slump
was due. Yet this authority" has not
been heretofore regarded as oracular,
and Furthermore his statement was In
wide circulation for a number Of hours
before the break, without producing any
rifle in the market.
Most likely the break was due to one
of the occasional condolences Of several
causes. none Of them in itself operative,
but together effective to destroy the
equilibrium. Potent In such situation
Is the factor of apprehension. Fear Ia
regarded az the most efficient aide OF
the bear In stock operations. From day
to day doubt as to the technical POSI-
ton Of certain leading and actively
moving stocks generates in the minds
of the operators. Suddenly it mounts to
actual apprehension, and caution sug-
rests buying. Mass movement sets IN
panic prevails, minor or major, accord
ing TO the general conditions.
In the present situation compar-
atively new factor has operated FOL
sterilization in the market. The In
yestment trusts, Of which there are nc
less than i've hundred operating on a
large scale In the street." have in the
aggregate very large buying power
They are always on the watch for bar
gains. Their chance comes In o falling
market. Yesterday In the course Of the

 Either England or Italy is expect cd 10 win the European inter-zo zone finals, and from past performances nothing but stunning upset will llock Uncle Sam's forces from meet, ing France.

FLANDERS DEFEATS
 STANLEY RULERS
UniysrsaS Strt1ghsn Hold on
 Industrial League Lad
Standing

Landers moved into undisputei possession of first place in the In- dustrial baseball league last evening when it downed the Stanley Rule team to 5 at Stanley Quarter park. The winners proved to have too much punch for the Rulers ai- though the latter put up stubborn battle and proved to be much stronger team than last season.
 Landers moved into the lead in it's first turn at bat when it scored twice on a pass to Charlow, a bunt which Goeb beat out and a triple to right by Vincent.
 The Rulers were not dismayed,. however, and stepped into the lead in their turn at bat in the same frame when they scored three times when JeIvis got life on Charlow's wild heaye after he had made a wonderful stop, a single by Jacob son, double by J. Argosy. Preis- ser's wild heave to second and an infield out.
 From this time until the ff.h neither team scored although each threatened. It was due chiefly 70 the brilliant fielding by both teams that no runs were registered during this time.
 In the fifth the winners tied the score when Charlow tripled after one out and rode home on a single by Preisser. The losers failed to count in their half of the frame anl Landers sewed the game up in the sixth with three-run rally.
 Hillstrand opened this frame with a single and stole second. He raced to third when Zapatka let Corrazzo's throw got away from him. Fitzpat- rick flied out but Ostertag singled and Hillstrand scored. Lindgrsn followed with one-base blow. Os- tertaG reaching third and the hit ter second on the throw to the far corner
 Charlpw grounded to Schaefcr who threw to the plate too late 10 catch Ostertag and Lindgren reach- cd third while Charlow was safe at first. On delayed steal Charlow was caught at second but Lindsrcn scored. In the seventh the winners scored their last run on a hit hy Vincent, a sacrifice and an error.
 The losers made their final bid for the game in the eighth wh"a they scored twice. With one gone J. Arkosy singled. Zapatka walked and they both came home when Jervis drove a double to left for which Goeb made . great try but missed by inches.
 The features of the game were the hitting of Argosy. a great stop and throw by Vincent of Zapatka's grounder in the third and fine catch after long run by Simon of Nincent's clout in the third.
