JUR|ST HOLMES
HEARS TRIBUTE

Oliver Wendell Holmes, former
Justice of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, is beginning
his ninety-second year today with
his characteristic serene philoso-
ply of life and with the plaudits
of notables at birthday celehra.
ton dinner for him last night
still ringing in his ears.
Among those paying tribute
to him last night at the annual
celebration of his birthday by
the Federal Bar Association were
President Hoover, Solicitor Cen
eral Thomas D. Thatcher. Viii
liam r. Valance, the aSsocia-
tion'S president: various Senators
and Representatives, and Judge
Learned Hand, of New York's
Court of Appeals.
The venerable ex-justice did not
attend the dinner. but heard the
ceremonies over the radio at his
home. President Hoover's mes
sage, read by Mr.. Thacher, said:
"My dead Mr.. Justice: / wish
to congratulate you most heart
lily upon your ninety-firSt birth
day and to wish you every bless
ing"
A message from Mr.. Holmes to
the assembly said:
you have given me the COM
paniOnShip Of dear friends and
have helped to keep alive the
fire in my heart. If could think
that I had sent q spark to those
who come after, I should be
ready to say goodbye"

LEAGUE COURT
+. RESOLUTION
STIRS ROW

The Senate battle over the
League Court became more com
plicated today, when its advo-
Gates sponsored a resolution Of
ratification denying the tribu-
nails right to render advisory
opinions against the United
States.
The resolution, drawn by Sen
ator Walsh CD, of Montana,
leader of the League Court
Group, was attacked by both
advocates and foes as requiring
approval by all other signatory
powers before it could become
effective. Walsh denied this, and
the committee spent two hours
debating the issue without reach
ang a vote.
The Senate had before 1t a
number of imperative appropri-
alton bills, which must be en-
acted before adjournment, If the
government is to function in the
next fiscal year. Its program
also included the $137 ,OO0, 600
Federal Aid Road Bill, passed by
the House as an unemployment
relief measure, and the Demo
cratic Tariff Bill, besides hun.
dreds of lesser important mea-
sures. This profusion of legiS-
lative labor furnished a fair in
dication the League Court fight
will be shelved temporarily.
The interpreted" Root proto-
col, meanwhile, gave friends and
foes of the League court some
thing to argue about. The inter.
probation sponsored by Senator
Reed (R.) of Pennsylvania would
put the United States on record
as understanding" that the court
cannot render an advisory opinion
on any question in which "the
United States has or claims an
interest" without her consent.

July, 1882, the counsel for the
Boston Legal Aid Society re-
ported: We have been prac-
tically swamped with the large
number of domestic relations
cases. Unemployment and lack
of money do not make for
domestic bliss and many people
who apparently got on fairly
well together when they had a
regular income have now de-

UP, SAYS
BRADSTREET'S 8

Reports to BradStreet'S Weekly
from SIS leading cities are prepon-
derantly on the plus side. Most
of the gains are of a seasonal
nature, but number of cities re-
port the volume of retail sales as
up to or better than a year ago.
Low prices and special sales,
coupled in quite a few instances
with increasingly heavy advertiS-
ing, are still being used to at
tract the public. Cooler weather,
however, recently would seem TO
be the most stimulating influence
in a good many sections.
Nearly all sections report the
shoe and leather trade as good,
in numerous cases even better
than last year. Dry goods and
fall wearing apparel do not make
quite as good a showing, but there
is a good sprinkling of encourag-
ing items. Hardware. paints and
electrical goods are experiencing
good activity. with a tendency for
orders on hand to accumulate.
In addition, the better tone in
retail trade already noted is lend
ing further incentive toward
stocking up by merchants. Moth
ing extraordinary can be expected
in this direction. but. here and
there replenishment of bare
shelves by retailers is disclosing
the insufficiency of wholesalers
stocks and creating a mild scram-
BILE for goods.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA U.N.SD. - The
coarse yarn cloths market was generally
quiet today and business did not run

pOrtant sales of print cloths were made
at prices which had been reported avail
able for some days but which had not
been quoted. Instances were mentioned
of buyers showing good interest in de-
liveres running into next year. but this
was not general. Most buyers apparently
were adopting a waiting attitude, pend

threatened by such outside Influences as
raw cotton and the impending election.

BY LEWIS HANEY
professor of Economics,
New York University

The most that I can see on the
bull side of the stock market at
the moment is a few days OF ir-
regularity, in the course of which
prices may reach a little higher
level at times. The bulges, how.
ever, will probably not last long,
nor go far.
The probability seems to be
that after a few days of irregu-
larity, a further decline Of 5 to 10
points, depending upon the vola'
tility of the stock, will come.
Largely Guessing
OF course, under present con-
ditions this opinion is to be taken
as being largely guess-work, and
there is always the possibility Of
unforeseeable news.
But it is difficult to see where
any very stimulating news is to
come from, now that Washington
magic has lost its potency and
everyone knows that washington
news" is just politics.
The rally on Tuesday was mere
ly a technical rebound. and had
been expected by everyone. The
market had had long period Of
reaction at an abnormally rapid
rate.
The decline had carried the
averages somewhat beyond the
percentage of loss that had been
expected. and had exceeded
slightly the amount required to
cover the gap" made by the
mark-up of August s.
Holiday Evening-Up
Moreover, the Wednesday holi.
day doubtless brought some OF
the usual pre-holiday evening-up
of positions, and that means
short-covering when the trend is
downward.
About the only thing that is to
be said for the bull side is that
such signs of business improve
ment as have occurred are still
in evidence. Carloadings still

SHOW DROP

Washington clearings were
$18,929,000 in the week ended
October IL, which was $1,39S, 900
less than the previous week and
20 per cent under a year. ago.
Baltimore and Richmond, in the
same area, had much larger de-
clineS for the week, BrAdstreet'S
reports.
Bank clearings at At leading
cities of the United States for
the week ended October IL, 1892,
totaled $3.597 ,663 900 as against
$5, 1875, $4,000 in the preceding
week. This represents a decline
of 29.8 per cent and is 45.3 per
cent less than in the correspond
ing week of last year.
The decrease at cities outside
New York City was not quite
so great, the total value reported
being 81 ,43O, ass 900, as compared
with $l,851,171,000 in the pre-
ceding week.
After making corrections for
the shorter week and the usual
seasonal change, the decline be-
comes rather minute. The ad-
justed index of clearing outside of
New York City, as compiled by
Bradstreet'S now stands at 39.6
per cent of the 1928-30 average,
as against 1877 last week and

PERMIT VALUES
HOP IN MONTH

Building permit values, as re-
ported to Bradstreet's for the
month of September showed an
increase Of 1914 per cent over the
previous month. However, they
are still 61.8 per cent below
year ago.
The total value for 215 cities
of the United States in Septem-
ber amounted to $50, ,437 1858, as
against $27,565, ,795 in August and
$79,580.466 in September, 1881.
After sonal adjustment,
Bradstreet'S building permit value
index advanced to 1875 as COM
pared with 10.1 in August and
34.4 in September, a year ago.
This is the first advance since
November 1890. and aside from
the months of November and
April of 1880, this is the first
increase since october. 1929.
The districts showing increases
from August to September were:
New England, plus 1872 per cent;
East Central, 90.4; South Central.
40.2: Mountain. 24.2, and Pa
cific, 3.5.

Stock Dip Following Tilt
Is Opinion of Haney

shows gains and so does steel
production.
Probably. too, the short position
has been increased. though I be-
lieve that the larger operators
have mostly kept pretty well COW
cred from day to day.
On the other side we find no
prospect Of positive improvement
in earnings and dividends. Com
modify prices are mostly reac-
tionary, while production volume
is so low that such increases as
have occurred bring no profits.
Political Uncertainties
Political uncertainties are great,
and even the party that tradition
ally stands for conservatism offers
little but promises of more and
more Government credit or debt.
AS to the action of security
markets, we should note the tol-
lowing points:
/. Even on Tuesday there was
important weakness in railway
bonds, and in Government bonds.
2. A large part of the gain in
stocks came as a Jump at the
pening, and did not carry
through.
8. The volume Of trading fell
off on the rise.
4. There has been no real clean
up or climax. Many traders were
on the edge of being sold out on
stop-loss orders, and were saved
by the higher opening Tuesday.
They remain as a weak spot, pal
ticularly if they raised their
stops"
COppered by Wise Ones
5. The idea is widespread that
the Dow-Jones average will rally
to IS, and that then stocks should
be sold. Such ideas rarely work
out. They are "coppered" by the
bigger and smarter traders. A
rally that is supposed to furnish
an opportunity for selling is bound
to be a weak one.
6. The public is not in and is
not coming in, while the profeS-
sionals are either bearish or arc
hooked with manipulated stocks
which they want to get rid Of.
