Commission.
The outstanding fact about the
stock market now is that this Is
not q good time to buy stocks.
One always takes more or less Of
. chance in buying stocks, but
there are times when the chances
Of gain far outweigh the chances
Of loss, and then the situation Is
favorable.
Just now the element of uncer.
tainty Is great. It certainly can.
not be said that the chances Of
gain exceed the chances Of loss.
Obviously, for example, the mar.
ket has had q good rally and the
weaker part Of the short interest
has been driven to cover,
Prices on the average have re.
covered from the July decline and
are Just at the preceding peak.
That means that the market viii
be severely tested. Already it has
faltered upon meeting the former
resistance level. No one can say
positively that. 1t will not break
through, but any unbiased man
knows that it may not do so. and
that the wise course is to await
the test.
Let those who make the market
fight it out and run the risks.
Take trading profits and get on
the side lines.
OF course, we can guess at the
results by attempting to weigh
the bull and bear points, My own
guess is that the rally is checked
and that some recession will be
necessary before any further con-
siderable progress can be made.
The bear points are as follows:
1. Business recovery thus far
seems less than usual for the
season.
2. UnfavOrable third-Quarter
earnings probably are not fully
discounted and continued dtvi'
dend cuts are discOncerttng.
3. Collateral bank loans In
creased quite sharply last week
and the total amount continues
excessive.
4. Too many weak spots exist
10 allow sustained general rise.
These include ellis, c0ppers, mo-
tors, rails, motor equipments,
sugars, rubbers, feathers and
textiles. The outlook for most
steel company earnings is not
good.
5. A large group Of old lead
ers are too high in price to head
mp Q substantial rise, and new
leaders are notably absent.
6. The averages have rounded
off and ceased to make progress
as they reach the upper limit Of
the trading range.
On the other hand, the bull
points now are as follows:
1.-The bond market COntin-
ues to make slow but steady
progress.
2The average yield Of In.
dustrial stocks is high enough
to attract investment buying.
-MOney rates are right.
4-The volume Of trading has
been low enough for some time
10 give the usual indications OF
Q nquidated market.
S-BrOkers' loans las distin-
auished from total collateral
lOans) are low enough.
Cuisines activity has fal.
len far enough below normal to
furnish precedent for discount
ing the ultimate recovery.
Public preference for COM
mon stock still holds.
We may add that the obstinate
, refusal Of those who are holding
the old leaders to hquidate, raise
the question whether they may
not be able to carry on. If they
keep frozen long enough the mar
ket may be able to cross on the

Klein is q player who likes

rival Babe Ruth has in the

Rogers HOrnsby has passed

Klein is not one of those bat
ters who plays parks. His stance
and style are the same on the
road as at home. He likes to
punch right handlers and says
that southpaws are hard for him
to hit. Klein's wrists are the talk
Of the circuit. He is showing well

call for the meeting and it is hoped
To obtain a general opinion from the
gathering as to the need and desire
for hospital in the village of Pine

Located seventy miles from the
cities. Pine City would seem TO be 4
logical point for a hospital to care
for many of the minor hospital cases
at least that now go to city hospitals
Various proposals have from time to
time been made by different individu-
ais interested in such project and
it now appears that definite steps may
be taken in that direction.
