Stocks at June Lows.
An approximation of the low price
levels of June was reached in stocks
this week. coincident with the reduc-
ton and omission of DIVIDENDS on
dozen or more important stocks. Ihe
rate to which the dividend on New
York Central has been reduced Is the
lowest since 1899. Such men as tne
elder Vandebilt. a. j. Cassatt, j.. j..
Hill. E H. Hartman, StuyveSant FISH
and Milton H. Smith never couio nave
believed that the American public
would look so disparagingly on Ameri-
can railroad stocks as they do today,
when in majority of cases the physl-
cal values of properties and the way
in which they function are greatly su-
perior to that when market values OF
their stocks were many times higher
and when rails. instead of induStrials
and public utilities held the center OF
the stage.
The prevailing prices for many cor
portion bonds are as difficult to ex-
plain as those for stocks. As they are
essentially a medium for institutional
investment 1t is inferred that much
of the liquidation comes from banks
that are sorting out the weakest MEM
bers in their portfolios and exchanging
them for issues of higher grede or else
> turning the proceeds into cash and
building up a stronger primary reserve.
The bank statements as of the end OF
September will sgain show the element
of high ratios of cash to Government
securities and deposits. Not infre-
quentiy this IS known to be as much
as so and even IS per cent. 1t is i'm
possible to develop en- investment mar
ket 50 long IS the banking community
is in the mood where abundant cash
resource: is its main objective.
Tax Talk Affects Market.
Factors that enter into the disturbed
state of the Wall Street MIND this week
are the pronounced failure of the latest
Government loan. when measured with
the results of earlier issues, and the
rapid crystalliZing OF political opinion
on the subject of higher Federal income
taxes in 1882 in order to balance the
national budget. This has taken form
since the new tax schedule was an
nounced in England and will undoubt-
edly be one of the most actively de-
bated measures in the next Congress.
Already certain amount OF discount
ing of it is taking place in the sale of
securities on which losses may be es-
tahlished. This adds to the flow of
securities into a market that has had
such poor powers Of reception.
There have been few business devel-
opments during the week that would
indicate improvement except in limited
industries that are realizing the benefits
Of replacement of the common necessi-
ties OF the average citizen.

BANKING SUPPORT.

NEW YORK, September l2-fSpe-
ciaD Evidence that several OF the
pivotal stocks were receiving support
at the end of the week again created
discussion over the general lack OF
backing for the market in the past six
months. One answer TO this in Wall
street Is that the foreign situation has
compelled bankers to give most of their
time and their capital to it. Not until
they feel that they will no longer be
called upon to grant large credits
abroad can they undertake a market
campo ign Of such proportions as would
have a pronounced effect on prices OF
either stocks or bonds.

Indians Ban Medicine Man

The tribal medicine man has
been condemned by one Indian or
ganizatiOn in Alaska. The Alaska
Native Brotherhood, in session at
Ketchikan, adopted resolutions
against fortune tellers and all
sorts of witchcraft as practiced by
Indians anywhere. The resolutions
adopted follow:
"Whereas, the Alaska Native
Brotherhood opposes the practice
of old customs, which are fakes
and injure our people, we affirm at
this time that the alleged profes-
sions of Indian doctors, medicine
men. wtichcraft and fortune telling
are pure fakes;
BE it ordered by this convention
that it shall be unlawful for any
member of the brotherhood to
visit such takers, even for fun or
curiosity"

DEVELOPING THE
NORTHWEST

People of the northwest are
gradually coming to a realization
of the fact that money spent for
western manufactured articles
means greater western payrolls
and the use of more of our west
ern raw products, thus bringing
greater prosperity to our own sec
ton Of the United States. People
are learning, too, that if COM
munity is to prosper goodly
share of the money made in that
community, by all classes, must
be spent in the community. 1t may
have its own small manufacturing
plants and the products of these
plants should be used by the peo-
pie Of the community. It has it's
stores and shops of various kinds,
where people are employed and
which pay taxes and help support

But there is another manner of
