Corporation Common Stocks

Corporation Common STOCKS
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE
last five years have seen an uI1-
precedented increase in both
speculative and investment inter
est in corporation common stocks.
Notwithstanding the sensation
al drop in market values last year
and the huge losseS sustained by
American investors in the nquida-
tion Of their shares, there is little
question tl.at more common stock
is held by the American peopl7
today than at any other time in
the history Of the country.
Though the cream has, for the
time being, been taken off the
process of money-making in the
stock market, there is numerous
evidence that investors at home
and abroad have refused to sell
the stocks purchased at peak
prices last year, being content
with. current dividends and the
prospect of a rally In the prices Of
their shares at some future time.
stockholders lists, as published
by the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, Southern
Pacific, Pennsylvania Railroad,
United States Steel Corporation
and other giant companies this
year show conclusively that the
distribution of common stocks Is
far greater than at any former
period in their corporate history.
No form of security has ever
been devised which has not reflect
ed changing financial and indus
trial conditions by fluctuations in
prices. That such fluctuations do
not always indicate the advance
and decline Of intrinsic values Of
the securities themselves Is shown
by the decline Of eighteen points
in the United States Government
Liberty Bonds while conditions be
hind the bonds remained un-
changed, namely, the promise Of
thu United States Government to
pay 100 cents on the dollar at ma
turity and to pay interest at 4 or
~ per cent per annum in the
meantime.

AMERICAN BOOKS STILL
 IN WORLD WIDE DEMAND
Authors show Presence Of Large Market In Returns of De-
 partment of Commerce.

Washington, May 19 LP)-Ameri- can authors and writers of all types are doing much better than Ameri- can business men in finding foreign markets for their products.
 Exports of commodities of all kinds from the United States in the first quarter Of 1880 were about 2j per cent less than those of last year, but the commerce department finds that during the same period American books and pamphlets were virtually as much in world demand as ever
 Literary exports of the Unit .d "ates for the quarter amounted 10 $5,244,00o, against $3.3G2.0oO in the same period last year.
 One Of the cdd facts about Ameri- can exports Of reading matter is that after he English speaking countries China affords the best market for the American writer, among foreign nations Howerer. .ho Chinese taking Of American writings is largely confined 10 two classifications, the religious litera- tGre Of missionary organizations. and Of pamphlets composed Of busi- ness literature.

CANNON EXPLAINS
 STOCK DABBLINGS
Bishop Says He Believed Broker
 Legitimate Dealer

Dallas, Tex, May 1a P,-The Dallas News today said that Bishop James Cannon. Jr., had testified be- lore the episcopacy committee of inc Methodist Episcopal church. south, that he had traded on the Ne" York stock exchange in z be- lief he was dealing with legitimate concern. But developments had proved error in his judgments.
 Troubles of the militant bishop rave proved an outstanding point of interest at the quadrennial general conference of the church which to- day entered what probably will be It's last week. A report today Of Josephus Daniels, former secretary Of the navy, chairman of the com Inlttce on temperance and social welfare, also was awaited with much concern.
 Explains to Committee
 The News said Bishop Cannon had explained his Wall street activities 10 the committee prior 10 it's re- port on formal request that he stand trial before church court be- cause Of the alleged spccuIations. The committee report on the trial petition is expected momentarily.
 According to reliable information Mr. Daniels committee recom- mendatlons will not include the re- election of Bishop Cannon to the chairmanship Of the board Of tem- peranCe and social welfare.
 Daniels report, which he wrote the conference upon prohibition was said to be one of the most vigorous ever voiced by the church. Daniels. as one Of those laymen who signed the Cannon charges, objected to placing in the document a part of the report made by Cannon as chairman Of the board of temper anCe. and some delegates spcculated 70 the possibility of this section being deleted before the report was presented 10 the conference.
 No Nominations Yet
 Failure Of the committee 10 re- port on nominations for officers for tho board next year was generally attributed 10 the uncertain status Of Cannon until the accusations against him are cleared up.
 Some tlm@during the day an at tempt may be made 10 elect the three additional members of the college Of bishops, authorized last week by the conference.
