Kenosha, Vision the eve of the

clash of words, an exchange of blows.
When the men separated they drove

APATHY CHECKS
/. PROGRESSION
BIC BOARD
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. / GN.SJ.
APATHY ruled the speculative mar
kets today. With many traders
absent for the Jewish holiday. this
combined with the weekend to
make for extremely narrow fluctu-
ations in quiet trading.
The good news of the increase
In car loadings to another new
peak for the year was offset by
the uncertainty over the fate of
the Nickle Plate, where a default,
and a possible receivership, loomed
on the $2O,0OO.oOo issue maturing
today.
Rail stocks showed the same
meaningless price changes as the
rest of the list and a waiting at
titude dominated the speculative
community.
A slight rise in steel operations
made for fractional betterment in
U. s. Steel. The preferred rose as
much as a point. Tobacco issues
steadied after yesterdays decline.
Utilities were neglected, as were
the Coppers.

ROADS To DEFER
/ WAGE PARLEY

Railroad executives meet in
New York Wednesday to decide if
they shall postpone efforts to OBJ
tain a 20 per cent cut in wages
of contract employees, as President
Hoover has asked, until after
January /.
This would give carriers only
one month in which to negotiate
an agreement superseding the
present 10 per cent cut in the
basic rate, which expires next
February /.
Executives hold that carriers
can comply with the Presidents
wish only if the labor unions
agree to an extension Of the pres
ent 10 per cent cut.
Heads of brotherhoods expect
to obtain authorization from the
men to make such an extension.
The roads want a full 20 per
cent cut from the pay base, but
to avoid the political arena, it is
probable they will postpone ne
gotiations until after election.
The Washington times., 1932-10-01
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor of Economics, n. Y. University
While the market has been
acting in an uncertain manner,
the chances at the moment seem
to favor the bulls.
It would be easy for some piece
of bad news to knock prices
down. Many prices are too high,
according to ordinary tests. (For
example, if American Can earns
1926 this year, why should it sell
much over 40?) -. b.. -
Upward Moves Likely
But the probabilities in the
gamble now going on, as I see
them, are that any considerable
moves in the near future would
be on the up side.
There is little use in trying to
figure what a stock is worth on
the basis of earnings. One might
as we'll pick a stock in which a
pool" is operating, or play the
tip that wheat is going to be
run UP so that mail order houses,
farm implement and food stocks
will be given ride.
OF course, this is essentially
gambling. always when you buy
a stock for a turn" and not with
the idea of holding it for the divi-
dend it pays, you are gamblingD
But according to the laws of
chance and market action, the
probability appears to be as
stated.
Technical Position Good
The technical position seems to
be fairly good, and a good many
issues have nearly made up the
gaps" shown a week ago.
There has been very little heavy
selling pressure, and the volume

TRADE REVIEWS
CHEERFUL

Seasonal factors are keeping up
the higher level of business
activity attained in the last
80 days and stimulating further
improvement in a number Of
directors, the weekly reviews say
today.
Clothing has had the most de-
mand at retail, Bradstreet's
stated good fall weather has
helped buying of these lines and
especially benefited department
stores. Mems clothing, which
has been unusually slow in the
last few months appears to have
a good call, some cities reporting
sales the best of any time this
year.
In the light manufacturing
lines, textiles and shoes are hold
ing up well. st. Louis reports the
best output of shoes in 18
months. Although unfavorable
weather in some sections checked
the placing of new orders in
wholesale markets this week, re-
orders were heavier in volume,
Duns stated.
Retailers were interested par
ticularly in obtaining deliveries
of merchandise long overdue, be-
cause of the loss of sales from
inadequate inventories.

COTTON FIRMER
AFTER EARLY
DECLINE

NEW YORK, Oct. / dN.SJ.
Cotton suffered a setback to-
day, but firmed late in the ses-
sion.
Brokers who transact business
for Japanese interests sold 1000
to 5000 bales at the opening in
each of the active months. Other
transactions were in small lots.
Some Hedge Sales
There were numerous hedge
sales in small amounts. New
orleans sold at the opening, but
afterward turned buyer.
A good trade demand included
price-fixing orders from the Cont.
ment. Wall Street and commits
sion houses bought distant months.
Liverpool bought near months.
Weekly statistics were partly
favorable. Forwardings totaled
244,000 bales, against 243 900 bales
last week and 234,000 bales in the
like 1881 week.
Exports Run Higher
Exports for the week amounted
to $4,000 bales, compared with
10000 last week and 100000 o
year ago.
Late quotations were off II to
10 points. December off 16 at 7.16,
January off IA at TIA. March off
16 at 7.25, May off 19 at 7.35, and
July off II at 7.45.

CHICAGO, Oct. l G.N.SJ.-
Grains were steady to fraction

dealings on the Board of Trade.
Scattered short covering over the
weekend impaired a firm tone,
but there was no aggressive action
and prices held to a range of

Near mid-session wheat prices
were steady to 14c higher. Corn
and oats were unchanged. Rye

Liverpool was steady, closing

of trading fell to low levels dur
ing the recent days of weakness.
I think that a number of group
operations have distribution" yet
to carry out, and that they have
been "churning" and supporting
their markets in a way that indi-
Gates that further efforts will be
made to put prices higher.
The railway ballyhoo and the
wheat ballyhoo may have some in
fluence. True, the Eastern rail-
way consolidation thing fell flat,
but there is still this committee
of eminent railway experts, such
as Coolidge and Smith.
Money AbnOrmally Easy
More fundamentally, oney
continues abnormally easy, and
gold keeps coming into the coun-
try. Evidently foreign funds are
not yet being withdrawn from our
speculation markets.
But if you must gamble, don't
stake more 1lan you can afford
to lose. Remember that the
pools" want you to come in so
that they can sell stock to you.
They do not want the stock; they
want your money.
And keep in mind that business
improvement on the whole is not
up to expectations" Railway
earnings in most cases are very
poor. The oil industry is in bad
shape. Metal prices are weak.
The insult situation is fly in the
utility ointment.
Many traders aro playing the
market with the idea that it will
break about the middle of Oc-
tober. If they are right, they are
wrong-it will break sooner.
So, while the bull side looks
rather propitious at the moment,
go slow.

ACCRUED LEAVE
ALSO DENIED

Under provisions of the econ
ony bill, no annual leave will be
granted in any Government Off
ces during the coming fiscal year.
All offices and departments are
on an equal footing in that re-
spect, but since leave require
ments vary in the Federal service,
in some instances leave already
accrued will not be obtainable.
In the Government Printing Or
flee, for example. no annual leave
is granted employees who have not
worked there at least full yeal.
AS a consequence, the employees
think of their leave as having ac-
crued the preceding year, and look
upon the economy bill as depriv-
ing them of their 1881 leave.
It has been noticeable, this
year, that as many employees as
possible have applied for annual
leave early, and during the last
few weeks offices have been con-
Siderably undermined.

 The House Appropriations Committee continues to weld it's shears on the Federal budget with zea almost holy but one notices that it approaches those items in support of the sacred COW of Pro- hibition it carefully sheathes it's weapon Tn Mon days orgy of economy it reduced the appropriation requested for the State Department by $l484712 that for the non-Prohbition activities of the De pertinent of Justice by s2884089 and those for the Department of Commerce and the Department oi Labor by. $1,507640 and $586446 respectively But when the request of the Prohibition unit for 11369 500 came up for consideration the full amount was voted by a large majority of the committee. Thus we see that in the minds of our asute lawmakers no function of government is quite important as that of continuing the farce of enforcement.
 We inclined to agree with them. While the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act re- main in force there is really nothing the Govern men can do to save it's face, Oriental friends would say but to compound the initial blunder Iof their adoption. The situation reminds of the jam into which the Japanese have unanswered them selves at Shanghai The American people have boy cotted the Prohibition law. An army division of enforcement agents have been put into the field against them The attack has been dismal failure, has, indeed simply stimulated the popular resist anee but what would you have retreat? Ask the Samurai of the Anti-Saloon League and their obed- tent Legislators.
 f course, they are imperVious to the irony of the fact that but for the loss of excise revenue caused tby Prohibition the present policy of drastic rerench lment a everything except Prohibition enforcement would be unnecessary Rather aWs-inspring phen- omenon, the dry mentality
