It Takes a Cold Snap

Perhaps you have noticed that
the greatest activity and hurry
and scurry in behalf of the
hungry and suffering come
hand in hand with those cold
snaps which bring wind and
sleet and snow and generally
bad going. A little of that kind
of weather, and we believe
Washington would rally more
substantially to the charity foot
ball ticket sale.
Meanwhile, Prof. Pickens is
working on several stunts to
accelerate interest, and most
any moment now you may ex-
pect him to announce some SEN
sational plan for focusing atten-
ton on this very worthy cause.
This Pickens is a Snowman, and
he's got the kind of a show
Washington has never before
seen. ., '..
Already he has put into effect
the plan for offering tickets at
from 80 1.3 to 20 per cent more
reasonable to purchasers before
December /. He has had his
operatives canvassing the three
local participating university stu
dent bodies, and he has inter
ested the Washington Alabama
Society to the extent of 500
seats.
However. there are still thou
sands Of choice reservations
available, all embraced in the
price concession offered
throughout this month, and
Prof. PickenS, frankly, wants to
see them moving more rapidly.
The Washington times., 1931-11-19

we believe there Is no need
Tor the gentleman from Ala
bama to become alarmed at so
early q date. We believe there
are several contributory causes
Tor the slack sale of seats of
which Prof. Pickens complains
and that as time wears on, as
many folks as customarily turn
out for football here will find
their way to the ticket booths.

PRICES LOWER
On CURB LIST

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 G.NS).
Sponsors Of the current bull cam
paign in curb stocks apparently
decided to call a halt to their pro-
gram in order to give the market
an opportunity to consolidate its
recent advances, and, therefore,
the greater part of today's session
was devoted to a general backing

most sections of the list.

The average price of crude

SOME BACKING
AND FILLING
. FORESEEN
Even Temporary Reactions
In Market Probable,
Spectator Says
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK. Nov. 10.-Consid.
ering the fact that the market
has already pushed ahead five
consecutive sessions, and on eight
Of the last nine trading days, it
would not be surprising to see
some backing and filling near
current levels.
The vigor of the advance can
best be realized by the fact that
as measured by the Dow-JoneS
industrial averages the list has
chalked up a gain of 81 points,
the bulk of this in the past five
sessions.
Offhand, one might say that
the upturn has been too rapid,
with the probability that re-
sultant reaction will wipe out
much of the fruits Of this i'm
provement. Yet that hardly takes
into consideration the remark
able change in sentiment in inl
portant financial circles.
Even If one is tempted to dis
regard the spectacular advances
in such commodities as wheat
and silver, for their effect upon
security values, it is not so easy
to dismiss the turn for the bet
ter in bond prices, which have
moved upward for eight consecu-
tive sessions.

COTTON 7 RADE
MORE ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 0.N.S).
The cotton market showed .
steady tone today, which was
particularly encouraging in view
of the reactionary tendencies
evidenced in both wheat and
stocks. Prices showed little
change at midday, although they
were off slightly from the initial
highs, at which gains Of from /
to 4 points had been recorded.
Trading ruled active, although
hedge sales were only moderate
in volume. Most Of the offerings
were absorbed by trade houses.

CAUTION URGED
BY HANEY ON
BUYERS
Rally Based on Speculation
and Sentiment Is Seen
Due for Relapse
BY LEWIS HANEY

Director Ne1o York University,
Bureau of Business Research
There can be no question that
the market has definitely broken
the upper resistance level at
which prices heSitated so long.
Speculative traders therefora
are warranted in making trading
purchases. They should watch
their steps" very closely, however,
for there are good reasons for
questioning whether the rally
will be long sustained.
Sentimental Speculation
would be inclined to favor the
leading oils for speculative COM
mitments. or. if you are con.
vinced that fundamentals are
really imp coving, the sounder rails
may be considered.
1t is nearly time to beware Of
the stocks which have been
whirled up on wheat and silver
developments.
The whole move is so obviously
speculative and sentimental, how
ever, that 1 do not advise invest
ment accumulation.
It now seems that, both in
stocks and in wheat, the covering
movement has gone about far
enough, and that speculation for
rise has now become the chief
factor. The cautious trader should
therefore begin to watch for
signs that pools are "distribut-
ing"
Points to Watch
These may be seen in Cd q
drop in the volume of trading
for two days in succession, (O
a decrease in the number of diff
ferent issues traded in, and (3
increasing irregularity in the most
active stocks.
AS long as both the wheat
market and the bond market are
well sustained, we may expect no
considerable break in stocks. But
look out if those markets weaken.

Firms Divided On
Holiday Closing:

A check of the retail stores Of e.
Centre indicates that the majority
will be closed Saturday morning to
allow their sales forces to attend
the Memorial day services at the
cemetery. The general plan is for
the stores to open at noon and re-
main open until 8 o'clock at night.
This procedure was adopted owing
to the fact that Memorial day,
which has heretofore been observed
as a holiday, falls on Saturday this
year.
A number of retail stores, how
ever, have announced their inten-
ton of observing Memorial day as
a national holiday by closing all
day, among this group being the
Berger JeWelry company, Crescent
Jewelry company, Forshey Brothers
meat market, Holdam Stuarts two
stores, and SafeWay Stores, Erskine
and Preble and F'rigidaire Sales and
Service company are also closing
for the entire day, as are all the
farm implement stores in the city.
Several of the retail stores have
stated that they have not yet de-
cided whether or not they will close
all day.
All banks and county offices will
observe Memorial day as a full hol-
iday, as will the city offices and

SPENCER'S PAPER
DENIES PLAN TO
C0ERCE CLARK

LOS ANGELES, May %. U.Pj-
The Critic Of Critics, political mag
azine of which Herbert Spencer
slain neWspaperman, was associate
editor, maintained today in its first
issue since Spencer and Charles
Crawford, political boss, were killed,
that it is purely an independent
organ crusading against corrup-
tion.
The magazine contained eulogieS
of Spencer, and a cartoon criticizing
Mayor John G. Porter of Los An
geles for walking out" on BAN
quet in France because a wine toast
was offered.
Frederic CMike) SchindlcT, editor,
took direct issue with published re-
ports that Spencer and Crawford
planned to use the magazine as a
political whip over David H. Clark,
charged with the double Staying. by
divulging details Of a party assert
edly attended by Clark when he
prosecuted Albert Marco, an under
world power, three years ago.
Clark is a former deputy district
attorney and municipal judge.
If David H. Clark had been in
discreet in his private life. this
magazine did not know about it
and if we had, the Critic of Critics
has never, nor will it ever, hold up
to scorn or ridicule or public gaze
the private lives of any persons, be
they public officials or private cit
liens" SCHNEIDER wrote.
SCHNEIDER declared in an article
that Charlie Crawford had no in
terest in this magazine prior to his
death, but he most certainly has an
| interest now"
The magazine did not support
Clarks candidacy because it was
felt he was the candidate of Guy
McAfee, reputed gambling boss, one
article said. Likewise, it was point
ed out, Judge Charles Mccoy
Clark's opponent, was not indnrsed
because it was believed he was the
candidate of Rev. Robert P. Shuler
radio minister.
The magazine will not Try to
"solve" the murders until after
Clark IS brought to trial, SCHNEIDER
wrote, adding that it would have
