 New York, Dec 7-Heavy tax selling in Standard Oil company of New Jersey stock turned the stock market downward today af- ter substantial early rally. The list recovered again, but as the end of the fourth hour approached, the market fioundered without defi- mite trend.
 Uncertainty over the presidents message kept shorts and longs out of the market. Tickers stood idle for minutes at a time.
 Prices were irregularly higher. Steel common was at the previous close of 54 and other industrial leaders were little changed.
 J. I. Case was a strong spot at AZ IA up 2 IA while Auburn Au- to hel more than 6 points of wider early gain. American Tele- phone and other utilities held small gains. U. $. Smelling was strong, rising more than points to IS 1-2. Rails were off practions to a point.
 Commodities fiuctuated, their ac- tivities also curtailed pending deliv- erey of the presidents address. Silver was an exception, the price of bar silver rising full cent.
 The pound sterling declined fur ther and the Canadian dollar drop ped to a discount of 15 3-4 per cent since Great Britain went or the gold standard, it was brought out that the Bank of France had paper loss on the pound balances it holds in London of nearly $1OO,- OOO,00O. The French government is to reimburse the Bank of France if parliament passes a bill for that purpose now being formulated.

The Voice of the Grape.
((New York Herald Tribune

((NeW 4OrK Herald-lrlbuneD
 Two minor news items appeared yesterday in tandem formation in the column of an esteemed contemporary One entitled, "W. c. T. U. Count CTS Repeal Talk" The other had this heading Wine Juice Makers Urge Aid for Dry Law" No doubt their juxtaposition fortutous, though may be pardoned for considering it rather happy It seems that Fruit Industries, Ltd, cooperative organization of California grape growers exercised over the inroads their market made by boot leggers Something like S350000,000, they contend is invested in the industry they represent and it's salvation lies in a strict enforcement of the Vol stead law which translate freely) will force the thirsty millions in the country to turn to it's products for satisfaction
 The Volstead law as most readers are aware permits the possession of fruit juices in the home It specifics, to be sure, that they must be unfer mented, but the Federal courts have held that in case of their fermentation no penalty shall ensue except proof that they are intoxicating in fact Such proof is almost impossible to obtain, where fore it follows that the wine bibber who buys his grape juice concentrates from constituent Der of Fruit Industries Ltd, and allows nature to take it's course is immune from prosecution as, of course is the innocent purveyor of the beverage
 Fruit Industries, Ltd has not only obtained a handsome loan from the Federal Farm Board to help 1t in it's competition with the bootlegger but 1t has retained the services of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt former Assistant United States Attor- ney General in charge of Prohibition prosecutions, as counsel. And it has issued booklet which calls upon all good citizens to uphold the bulwark of its monopoly. Support the legal method of ob- tainng grape beverage is the tenor of this in- spired document, and at the time relieve the surplus production problem by taking the profits out of the illicit traffic in alcoholic drinks.
 Here is picture of Bacchus and the w. c. T. U. pulling together in double harness beside which that other vision of the millennium, with the lion and the lamb lying side by side, paes into insig nificance On the other hand what about that old adage in vino veritas?

Mir. Borah's Case for Special Session.
(NeW York World.l

Senator Borah cites several arguments in sup port of his contention that special session of the new Congress should be called the present session has adjourned In the first place he insists that large amount of constructive legislation, in cludng legislation earnestly desired by business men, is now pending in Congress; that this legislation cannot possibly receive attention at the short sion, and that special session of the new Congress would in these circumstances, be helpful to business rather than harmful In the second place, he insists that if this legislation is permitted to go until December of next year it's consideration will be complicated by political factors the of the Presidential election of 1882 and no constructive action can be taken various important questions until 1853 In the third place, he repudiates the theory that it is the duty of national lawmaking body to go into hiding as rapidly and quietly as possible whenever emergency appears Tt may be that our fathers made mistake in creat- ing the kind of government they did, especially in creating Congress. But it is the only kind of government have at present, and if we are going to do business we will have to get along with it as best can"
 These arguments would be persuasive to more people if we had not entered an era in which faith in the efficacy of governmental action has reached low ebb. MT. Borah may feel that special session of Congress would contribute to recovery in business At least in the Eastern half of the country a vast majority of the public we believe, would disagree with him. Fear of spe- cial session is not limited to milionaires who hope to avoid higher taxes and stock brokers who are always happier when Congress is adjourned This fear extends to many small business men, to shop keepers and to laboring men. These people have gradually been losing confidence in the machinery of popular government. IL has taken the present emergency to reveal the full measure of their skepticism

WASHINGTON IS INFRINGING WET"

Tn a series of articles recently appearing in the New York World, Mrs. Aldys F Larimer spy and under-cover informer for the Prohibition Bureau, first under the Treasury Department and later working for the Department of Justice. undertakes to portray the workings of Prohibition Enforce ment in the nations capital city She makes t plain she is not disgruntled and discharged en- ployee but quit because she was disgusted with her job which she held for six months to the apparent satisfaction of her superiors.
 "Is Washington dry?" If not is there any serious effort being made to keep the city dry?" and How does enforcement in Washington compare with that of other cities and other parts of the country, the questions she undertakes to an- swer.
 On the first count, she declares Washington is wringing wet" As to the second Efforts at en- forcement in the national capital are the leeblest have ever seen, the most haphazard and the most intellectual" And the third Compared with California, where l have done most of my work enforcement in Washington is a joke"
 The conclusions of this woman will occasion no astonishment to those who have visited Wash ington in recent years Certainly the capital of the United States is not as wet as New York Chicago and Detroit and of the other large cities but it does not even begin to be arid Liquor local mooshine as well as imported brands is available

When it is remembered that most of the paid professional dry reormers and agitators of the Anti-Saloon League and Methodist Board of Public Morals, etc, center in the city, there is cause for wonder that they do not direct their efforts and attention to reform there -ather than other and more remote localities.
