i TRADE REVIVAL
| DUE IN SPRING,
/. SAYSBROKER
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
(Copyrigh,, 1892. by International
News Service.)

NEW YORK, Nov. % U.N.S0
Because he sees times getting
better and indications Of "a
definite upswing in general bust
ness" in the spring, David M
Collins, head of the stock ex
change firm of D. M. Collins and
Company, has switched-after
two years-from the "bear" to
the "bull" side Of the market.
He is the son-in-law and close
associate of L. F. Loree, head OF
the Delaware and Hudson, and
one of the foremost railroad men
in the country. For the past
two years Collins had been con
sistently recommending the sale
Of common stocks, particularly
rails. But now he has altered
this policy.
Sees Definite Pickup
Collins believes there is at
present "a definite pickup" in
business in the southwest and q
positive upturn" in business in
New England. He thinks the
stock market will discount several
months in advance the general
revival which he anticipates in
the spring.
Regarding the Frightening pros
poets of the railroads, Collins told
International News Service:
'.Never before in the history
!. Of American railrOading have
expenses of the railroads been
20 cut to the bone as in the
present emergency. It Is safe
to assume that when prosperity
returns, many Of these eCOnO-
| mics Vill be kept in force. Riot
Gus spending by the railroads
is q thing of the past"
Earnings Still Low
Although the gross earnings OF
the railroads are still low, he eX.
pressed the opinion that the net
earnings of the good roads
"Si1ould show steady improve.
ment."
Collins said q ''bull" market in
Wall Street would materially help
in changing red figures to black.
He pointed out that large blocks
of capital of powerful investment
bankers and brokers are idle
while overhead, including rents
and salaries, continues.
Collins declared the fear Of any
large bank failures Is past. He
asserted that Americas gold
standard is impregnable.

WHEAT REACTS
AFTER RISE

CHICAGO, Aug. 26 G.N.SJ.
Wheat opened 70 to SIC higher
then reacted that much on scat
tered selling inspired by easiness
IN foreign markets. Good sup
port appeared on the setback. but
the aggressive buying which
boosted prices sharply yesterday
was not continued.
Corn and other grains held to
a narrow range in featureless
trading.
It is believed in speculative
circles that wheat should make
some response to the general ad-
vance in commodity values, but
the unusual export situation pre-
vailing this season has been a
handicap.
Country offerings of corn are
more liberal and while at present
levels the shipping demand takes
care of the arrivals in fair shape,
advances bring increased offer

CURB SECURITY
| PRICES HEAD
LOWER
BY THEODORE KOsLOw

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 GN.S).
Profit-taking continued on the
curb market today and the gen
eral price movement was toward
lower levels.
While profit-taking in the
utility group was heavy the main
body in this division resisted the
realizing stubbornly and gave
ground moderately.
Hold About Steady
Electric Bond and Share was in
fair demand on the reaction and
climbed "a point above yester-
days closing level.
American Gas and Electric was
steady, while Cities Service was
slightly easier. Consolidated Gas
of Baltimore was firm around it's
previous closing.
The oils we're generally lower
on scattered selling. Gulf Oil
lost fractionally while Standard
of Indiana held unchanged at
2414, and Standard of Kentucky
lost "a at 1919.
Curb Bonds Lower

days advance of more than 3

IS DOWN
THROUGHOUT
BOND LIST
BY MUNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 G.N.S0 -
A definitely lower price movement
was in evidence in the bond mar
ket today. Selling extended to
practically every part of the list,
and significant was the increase
in volume on the downside.
In some circles this was believed
to be merely the inevitable tech
nical reaction after the vertical
rise, while others were of the
opinion that it indicated another
change in trend.
The New York city traction
bonds were again under severe
pressure with the marlborough
issues appearing on the tape
frequently and in large blocks.
Interborough SIS stamped of
1866 dropped 112 points to 43,
and the IS of 1882 whose re-
demption on October l is un-
certain suffered a loss of IL
points at 2112. Manhattan Ele-
Yated dropped IL to 26. Third
Avenue Railway adjusted de-
clined to 2734.
In the railroad division the
Baltimore g. Ohio 4l2s of 1888
dropped 2 to Ct. The Chicago
g. North Western 424s lost y
at 80, while the st. Paul SIS of
1000 lost similar amount at
1924.

Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcastine
BY ANDY SPARETIRE

The rapidity with which radio
is becoming a dominating factor
in the amusement field is re-
Elected in the increased space
given to it by trade publications.
The current issue of Variety"
for instance, leads with radio
story. to the effect that the ten
dency to increase the number OF
high-powered stations is leading
to a situation analogous to over
seating in the theaters. The i'm
plication is that something ought
to be done about it. The indica.
tons, according to Variety" are
that nothing will.
However that may be, the
space allotted to radio by this
and similar publications is grow
ing right along. Radio reaches
practically every American these
days, for if one has no set of his
own he has to hide out in the
dense Maine woods to escape his
neighbours.
Not all the headaches in the
radio business, though, are those
of involuntary listeners at 2 a. m
while the raucous loud-speaker
Squawks next door. Some OF
them are due to the ideas Of
sponsors as to what sort of pro.
grams they want, according to
this same Variety"
To many sponsors, it seems,
studio advice and experience
mean exactly nothing at all. One
story is told of an outfit that
gave up a highly successful pro,
gram because the wife of one Of
the company's executives didn't
like to turn it on when she had
bridge parties at home. 1t wasn't
dignified enough.
J. P. McEvoy's satire on radio,
Are You Listening?" was about
the first and most successful of
its kind, and in it he tried to do
for radioland what so many have
done to. or for, Hollywood. If
you will refer to it's pages again
you'll find that he commented
from time to time on the idiosyn.
cracies of the sponSors-in the
ton, of man who may have
been up against them himself.

THEY NEVER HAD A CHANCE

Harry and Jennings Young, slay- CTS of six Missouri police officers, didn't know it, but they never had a chance. In less than 72 hours after they had moved down six of posse of officers, who sought to arrest them at their mothers s farm home on a charge of killing another peace officer, they were trapped in a Houston house, where they shot and killed each other rather than to surrender to Hous- ton police.
 The young boys, in all probabil- ity, thought they could escape the clutching arms of the law. Doubt less they never suspected their pie lures were on the front page of practically every daily newspaper in Texas "A hours after the Mis- souri officers were slain. Their cap ture was a direct result of pictures of the slayers appearing in Houston papers. The press renders a great service to the people of Texas they should be grateful.-Editorial Digest.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1932-01-29
a DEGENERATE.

WrangeH nas 50 many good citi- lens that when the work o1 a crlmlnal degenerate shows up we stand appalled,.
 When the ire alarm sounded Saturday night and members of the lire department rushing to the tire hall found that the tank of the gasoline, the extra can or gas gone and the chemical tanks whIeh are part ot the trucks fire-tlghtlng equipment giving evidence of hay Ing been tempered With, a Sherlock Holmes was not required to know that some one in Wrangell's popu- Iatlon was a degenerate of the worst order.
 The consequences of lire may be tar-reaching and when our fire lighting apparatus IS crippled every building ill town is Jeoparulzed. The first minutes of d lire are critical ones and a small blaze unchecked can soon become a raging fire that leaves charred ruins in it's wake.
 Every business property in Wran- gell has been built rom small financial beginnings by dint ot much hard work. The lire fiend in very snort time can wipe out the result of these years of toll and striving and make desolate waste ot homes and business properties. Accident and loss of life occur ire quently when men are desperately lighting fire. A man who stoops so tow as to cripple the efficiency of the fire department is a potential murderer because his act can mean that he took a life just as much as if he had deliberately killed that person. The results from loss of life and property incident to fire make long and formidable list.
 The Town Council is offering a reward of S25 for information lead ing to the arrest and conviction of any person caught tampering with the towns fire equipment. The spirit shown in offering the rewar a is right but the reward itself should be very much larger to be n proportion with the enormity of the crime which it seeks to check.
