PRICE ADVANCE
/ IS PLOTTED
by RAILS
Quiet Weekend Market Is
Featured by Firmness in
Bonds and Gain for Cotton
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Oct. II dNS0.
Further gains in the railroad and
speciality stocks; an advance of
81 a bale in cotton; firmnesS
in the United States Treasury
bond group and slight gains in
selected railroad bonds were the
principal features of a dull and
quiet weekend market.
The railroad stocks we're buoyed
up by the better prospect Of
fourth-quarter freight business as
well as the expectation of a fav.
orable decision on freight rates
by the Commerce Commission
over the weekend. Atchison, New
York Central and Southern Pa
cific were the leaders in the
early upturn, which was partially
wiped out by profit-taking near
the close.
Du Pont and General Motors
reached the best price levels of
the week and many of the IA
voriteS sold within a short range
Of Fridays closing prices.
United States SteelS new ad-
vance to 69l2 was based on re-
ports that the directors at their
meeting on october q would
continue the 81 annual dividend
on the common stock, having
credited large special" payments
to current income.

Trade Found Making
Full Seasonal Gain

Thus far in October, says the
United Business Service, business
appears to have made full sea-
sonal gains. There is every evil
dence that this trend will con-
tinue during the balance of the
month. Building is gaining more
than seasonally, automobile pro-
ducers are ordering materials,
and stores are buying December
supplies.
The long decline semes to have
stopped--just as it did in the
spring. But now, with adjust
ments having been made through
out industry, an upward move
ment is much more possible.

$500 Net Per Share
Much significance is attached
to the third quarterly report OF

which was issued yesterday by

that 1881 earnings are being main
tanned at the same pace as In

greatly increased severity Of the

Likewise. this favorable show.
ing compares with $429k per

averaged annually three times

Stick To Your '|Hunches"

The effort to understand the workings OF the hu-
man mind has engaged the attention Of the most
eminent scientific thinkers Of all eras and while CON
siderable progress has been made one realizes that
the field is largely unexplored
The other day we noticed that group OF scent-
lists gave their approval to what is popularity known
as ''hunch as a process Of creating thought As
explained by the scientists "hunch follows long
period of study but comes into consciousness when we
are not conscious Of working on q problem This Is
logical and fits in with the experience Of most per-
SOFAS who observe themselves closely
We call the attention of readers, and particularly
Young readers, to the statement that hunch
flashes into the mind Of an individual after period
of study on problem It does not and will not come
as q bolt from clear SKY to mind that has not
wrestled with the proposition to which it relates.
Many young people have the idea that luck plays
great part in the discoveries and and inventions OF
the world and while very often it seems that chance
leads to remarkable developments, close investiga
ton Of the instance Will almost inevitably lead to the
discovery that the individual blessed by the lucky
break happened to be an individual who was giving
serious thought and study to some problem.
Now that the scientists have given their endorse
rnent to the ''hunch may we not suggest that some
eminent group Of thinkers devote their talents to re-
cognizinz the intricate value of intuiton-another
valuable and much aisunde possession of those
keen enough to make use of it.
