STOCKS.ARE LOWER
IN DRAGGY MARKET
List Says in Final Trading
After Irregular Trend
During Day.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 17-Stocks re-
acted in quiet trading in the weeks
opening session on the exchange.
Losses were confined to point or 90
and volume was too small to make the
movement pf any significance. About
all 1t showed was that traders were un-
willing to make commitments for the
rise during the present period Of politi-
cal uncertainty.
Most of the commodities were lower.
with cotton sustaining a larger loss
than the average. Wheat was un-
changed on the day, but hides, rubber,
silver and cocoa were more or less down.
The low prices in stocks were made in
the first hour and again in the last.
American Telephone showed itself SEN
sitive to pressure, of between 2 and 3
points. Union Pacific was the weakest
of the rails.
Prices were lower at the start, a
point or two In the leaders, but the
decline was not extended. Instead
the market gradually hardened until
by noontime it was only unimportantly
below Saturdays close.
Among the many obstacles to a re-
sumption Of the advance, the most i'm
portant was the uncertainty as to the
exact stand Gov. Roosevelt will take
on the bonus question. Another was
the continued heaviness in commodi-
ties, particularly the grains. Shortly
after the opening in Chicago today corn
made a new, low for the season, and
there was little Of helpful nature in
the movement OF other staples. Still
another serious situation was that per-
tanning to the New York City budget.
On the other hand the improvement
in railway traffic keeps up, at a dis
couragingly slow pace, but consistently.
Atchison today reported loadings for the
week ending october Is we're up ST
per cent from the preceding week and
down oily l04 per cent from the same
week year ago.
Another influence in the market, very
gradual but cumulative in its effect,
is the absorption of the better grade of
stocks by investors for the long pull.
General Electric today reported share
holders to the number of 1859 COM
pared with 173,248 on June 30, and
139 ,697 on September 80, 1881.
The declines in the market during
the first hour were most noticeable in
j. J. Case, United States Steel COM
mon. Union Pacific and American Tele-
phone. Better support was accorded to
Allied Chemical, American Can and
Air Reduction. The losses we're cut
down as trading proceeded. 1t was evi-
dent there was no large amount OF
stock overhanging the market and no
disposition on the part Of those bear
ishly disposed to put out fresh commit
mentS for the decline.

Canadian Exchange Strong.

NEW YORK, OEober II Especially -
Various reasons Re assigned for the
current strength III Canadian Exchange,
which, at an 8O34 cent discount, is at
new high on Rhe recovery. One
reason may have been the publication
of the terms of he tariff agreement
with Great Britaik and another may
have been the showing In the foreign
trade figures for September, which re-
vea'ed a favorable Balance. Canadians
the nselves are verS confident of re-
turn to parity with4he American dollar.
In any event the Strength has led to
some speculative blying in this market
of securities payable In Canadian
funds, an instance Ebeing the Canadian
Pacific 6's, which have the additional
attraction OF bei4g convertible into
stock.

The People
Want a. Change

The thing evidently that
worries Mr.. Mills (and we
are sure he cannot under
stand it) is that the people
want a change. "W h y
change?" he asked the peo-
pie of Maine, and within four
days they flung their an
swer in his face in the form
of a Democratic victory.
And at St. Louis he initiates
the unSophistication of
child with this: "How many
men just from restlessness
have altered their course of
life only to live to regret
it?"
The 100000 jobless men,
their thirty to forty million
dependents, are getting more
restless all the time and they
propose to alter their course
of life if they can.
As AL Smith answers:
1.-THE great masses of the
people have come to the
conclusion that the present
Administration is in a large
measure responsible for the
crisis, or that, even if it
were not wholly RESPONSE
BILE, conditions cannot be
any worse, and that a
change in government may
make them better.
Mr.. Mills says they can
be worse; and, of course
they can. They have been
getting worse every month
for more than three years;
and the feeling is growing
that they never will get bet
ter until we rid ourselves of
a regime whose policies have
done so much to wreck us
and whose timidity and in
eptitude have done so little
to help us.

AS the Devil
Hates Holy Water

1t is not difficult to know
the spirit of the Mills
speeches. They smell of
the financial oligarchs and
breathe an unmistakable
spirit Of contemptuous in
difference to the average
man. But when he, of all
men, undertakes with char
acteristic arrogance to ex-
plain Jefferson and Jack
son to us, it is too much.
In Jefferson's day he would
have joined in the defense
of the crooked swindling of
the soldiers on their script
along with the other Fed
eralists, and in jackson S
day would have peddled pc
titions for Nick Biddle and
the bank. There were issues
