CURB DECLINES
SHARPLY

NEW YORK, Dec. 13-Curb
stocks broke sharply today, with
a fresh flood of forced liquidation
carrying virtually every issue of
Importance to new low ground
for the year.
Yesterdays late weakness had
caused a heavy accumulation of
overnight selling orders, which
brought general weakness to the
market at the opening, and con-
tinued unchecked for the first
half Of the abbreviated weekend
session. Short covering on a scale
down provided a cushion for
many Of the weak issues, but the
press Of urgent offerings contin-
ued to act as a deterrent to any
possible rebound.
Brokerage quarters estimate
that the current average of prices
for curb stocks is at the lowest
point in two years, with quota
tions Of any number Of sound div
idend paying stocks declared to
be at ridiculous levels. But in
vestors are turning more wary at
the present, since it was Just a
year ago, after the 1929 deflation,
that stocks were declared to be on
the bargain shelf, at prices double

Of Business Research and Former

Economist Of Federal Trade
Commission.
The wise business man or in
veStor always allows for the eX-
tremeS of optimism and pes
simism which affect the majority.
At the peak Of q boom he hqul-
dates. Perhaps he does so before
the peak is reached. No one can
tell how far the unreaSon1ng
force Of optimism may carry.
But at least the wise man avoids
the losses Of the recession.
In q similar way the forces Of
pessimisn gather momentum and
carry us to extremes during a re-
cesSion. This is the danger now.
Business readjuStments in many
cases have been carried far
enough to warrant the establish
ment Of a stable condition IN
industry. Business is about 25
per cent below normal, which Is
q level at which it might well
cease to decline.
Painted Dark Blue
Now, for the first time since
the stock market panic Of
November, 1929, I feel that it is
time to give a warning against
undue pesSimism. Wall Street is
painted q dark blue. Stock
prices are crumbling. Rumors
Of financial trouble are whiSp-
cred. Where are the bulls on
the United States" now?
We are in a period Of extreme
pessinism-at least here Ia New
York-which is the exact counter
part of the extreme optimism Of
last year. Just as strong warn
ingS were justified then, so
strong encouragement is now.
s. Have Confidence
7 advise against dumping your
sound and fairly priced stocks or
bonds now. I advise confidence
In your bank. (The vast majority
Of the banks in this section OF
the country are unquestionably
sound) urge remembrance that
we have weathered several similar
depressions and that we will come
out of, this one in due course, as
we have always done.
This does not mean that eau
ton should be abandoned. I also
advise caution. But caution does
not mean extreme peSsimism or
fear.
Last year some Of our financial
leaders, after uttering warnings,
finally succumbed to the almost
universal optimism, and made
commitments ct the peak. which

make the same mistake in reverse
and make a bearish plunge now
when we are so near the bottom.
Plungers Suffer
After all, our chief maladjust-
mentS now are financial. The big
plungerS Of 1929 are the ones who
must suffer. # the average man
keeps his judgment, works hard
and saves money, he Is going to
come out all right.
The recession in industrial pro-
duction and in factory employ

Production has already been so
curtailed that we may reasonably
hope for sterilization in the

BUILDING OUTLOOK BETTER.

Brighter prospects for the second half of this year are yisuazed by most branches Of the build ing industry.
 return of the unusual prosperity of the 1lrst half of 1929 is not in the present picture But a slow gradual rise in general business covering period of months is probable, comments the research bureau of the C. A. Dunham Company in a survey on the building outlook in general Factors that will point the way to return oi geniune prosperity are listed as
 reversal of the downward trend of commodity prices.
 Greater demand for motor cars, prob ability this Fall.
 Revival of residential building, so long delayed.
 New agricultural confidence, with less political tinkerng.
 Greater speed behind public building programs to absorb unemployed.
 Expansion in commercial loans. "One good sign is lower money rates, for the stimulating power of that condition is proverbial,' it is stated.

MOTOR CARS DISPLACING FARM
 WAGONS.

Despite the fact that the production of wagons in St. Louis has dropped from 3o,O00 in 1920 to 1000 during the past year, that city is still the largest center of the United States for the manu facture of farm wagons. Increasing popularity of the automobile and tractor for farm work, it is pointed out is responsible for the decrease in production of farm wagons
 The principal market for farm wagons today, executives in the business say, is in the Southern States where the soil of the fields is too sandy to support the weight of truck, and where much lumber is being hauled. Eastern, Northern and Central States have virtually excluded the wagon from farm equipment. Some executives in St. Louis, however firmly believe that many farmers could materially increase their profits if they would hitch old Dobyn to the wagon again, instead of utilizing a motor driven vehicle for virtually every type of farm work However the farmers beliefs control and they are going for the motor stronger and stronger

The Royal Mail Line (Brtish) has announced that it will station its passenger ship Araguaya on the during the international yacht races for the Americas Cup, and when the racing yachts not sailing the vessel will steam beyond the Emile limit and open the bar for the patronage of the passengers. It is proposed to keep this up for week so, as long as the races continue, and the rates will be at stipulated price per day, plus the tariff for meals, drinks cigars and other refreshments.

 All foreign countries welcome the American crsnch factory because it gives employment to their ,I.izsnS.

MORE AMERICAN BRANCH
 FACTORIES.

c. O. Smith, Washington correspondent of the Vancouver B. C.. Province in letter to his paper says of the effects of the Canadian retalatory tariff that recently went into effect, will be to accelerate the establishment of branch factories in Canada by American producers. An American branch factory in Canada not only gets the Can adian market without paying the Canadian tariff but it will get the benefit of any possible pre- ferentia tariff that Great Britain might give the Canadians over the Americans.
 American labor does not like the branch fac tories for they give employment to Canadians instead of Americans However, if the tariff among nations continues they the inevitable result. The branch American factory has been of the

A Spiritual Plane.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

The Rev. Msgr. Joseph Raphael Crmont s. J.. Bishop of Alaska, is in Seattle, waiting for a red airplane. It is named Marquette Missionary" | gift of the Marquette League of New York, and will be used by the Bishop the better to minister to the spiritual needs of his vast diocese of the North
 Alaska is developing slowly" the Bishop said And yet Alaska is a whole civilization ahead of the Mississippi Valley, which Marquette saw when in 1873 with Joliet he descended the Father of Wat CTS" as far as the Arkansas River.
 Pere Marquette carried his religion to natives of the Great Lakes region through dense forests with an altar strapped to his back. Two and a half centuries have brought much change but not to the church which still reaches out, by ai.- plane to carry spiritual things to the ends of the earth
 Incidentally the arpane age gives assurance to Alaska that it will not need to wait 25O years to undergo the changes witnessed in the Great Lakes and Mississippi Valley since the days Of Pere Marquette.

It says the Liverpool re- finery will be the largest of the three and the first to be operated-which ought to be in 1881.
