own request, John Paul Collins, presi-

This means that foes must be found

Western for November is. The games
will be played in Central Stadium

Roosevelt asked the faculty advisers
yesterday to leave 1t out of the series
because the work of developing team
was too great for Lynn Woodworth,
the lone physical director at the school.
physical needs of 400 boys during school
hours. At that, the energetic Wood
worth says he would be willing to un-
dertake a team ii there was grtdiron
available near the institution.
Last season, and for several seasons,
in fact, the school has gamely stuck it
out in the series despite limited and
light material and the further handi-
cap of having no field. The institu-
tion has unusually few boys as nu-
cleus for foot ball this Fall, the result
OF heavy losses by graduation.
Basket ball and base ball teams. how
ever, will be organized at Roosevelt and
the school plans to have a team in the
foot ball series next year.
This year will mark the first the
1ar oil tr, tNa
grid series since the competition was
started in 1902.

to meet the strong National Training
School eleven on the latters field and
the Mckinley first-stringers were to
play Episcopal at Alexandria. Eastern

Eastern was to hook up with Alex

STOCK BOOM AIDED
BY BRITISH Buying
Bond Conversion Resulted in
Diversion of Funds to
American Market.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK. August 13.-Financial
statisticians are now giving the British
a large part of the credit for the pres
ent stock market boom.
Along with the optimistic termina-
ton of the Lausanne Conference. the
Bank of England reduced its discount
rate to 2 per cent. the lowest since 1897,
and, coincidentally, the British treas
ury announced the long-expected plan
for the conversion Of war loans, aggre-
eating some $4,000 900. from 5 per
cent to 81 per cent.
While the conversion scheme was
generally approved and the per cent
discount rate did not bring an up
heaval, large portion of the British
bond -holding public began to figure up
its lower security yields and, 1t is said,
cast its eyes on the American market.
Foreign buying almost Immediately
began TO make its appearance on the
New York Stock Exchange. Domestic
traders and investors, long Respondent,
learned of this and, barking back to
other markets and the foreign impetus
which started booms, decided that 1t
was probably time to get aboard" 1
In years past, England has converted
bond issues and. generally. these con-
versions preceded an upturn in Ameri-
can stocks. In 1872 the British con-
verted its Navy IS into 31a per cent
issue and those Englishmen who did
not accept the lower rate turned to
the American field and England's colo
nies for investments. A decided stock
market boom followed this conversion
transaction. And the same thing hap
pened in 1880 and in 1889, according to
the financial historians.
The present British war loan CONVEX
sion Is the largest Of its kind attempted
since the depression began.

In-and-0ut Trading.

NEW YORK, August 13 Especially -
No small portion of the current broad
market in stocks is due to the in-and-
out trading of professionals and the
public, brokers say. The market has
been one that has made this operation
attractive and profitable, for practically
all groups of stocks have had gains. It
has been possible to get out of one issue
in the morning and get into another in
the afternoon and show a net gain for
the day.
Buyers who saw that the market turn
had come by the middle of July took
rather small profits, as they did not be-
lieve prices could go much higher. They
remained in the sold-out bull class for
a week or two and then went back into
the market at a much higher level,
blaming themselves for their poor judg-
ment. Traders on the floor of the ex-
change, who were not making enough
during the Spring to carry the interest
charges on their seats, have been real
izing not only large commissions, but
good trading profits, while in addition
the value of their seats has been stead
lily rising. So So.

Preferred Stocks.

NEW YORK, August 13 Especially -
The advance in preferred stocks has
continued on the theory that they went
more below their real values than did
the common stocks and are entitled to
a greater percentage Of recovery. Quite
a number of them have doubled, tre-
bled and even quadrupled in market
price since last Spring. In one in
stance, namely Missouri Texas
preferred, an appreciation Of 425 per
cent has taken place. The most help
full gains from the investors standpoint
are those in the widely distributed class
of senior shares of public utility hold
ing companies. A majority of these
sank to levels which discounted the
passing Of their dividends Most of
them are still selling on better than a
10 per cent basis. Some of the largest
gains in this group are those in the
active industrials,

Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, August 13.-When 1t
is now argued that the stock market
movement should come to a halt in
order to preserve healthy condition,
the fact Is taken into account that it
has been rising steadily from the low
point reached five weeks ago, and, In
the meantime, has regained lost ground
at remarkable speed. A little study
Of the course Of the averages since the
first of this year will prove this.
The first decline in 1882, which car
ried over from December, 1881,
amounted to 91a points in the indus
trials and about 51z points in the rails.
This was followed by To-day rally of
141a points in the one and nearly 10
in the other. Between January IS
points and rails 811 points to an ap-
proximate average of that in the first
week of the year. Then occurred an
other brief but sharp advance in both
groups to nearly the high point of
January IS. The third decline was
small, amounting to an average of
about points In the combined indus
trial and rail list. The sequel to this
was a rise in the industrial average
of 81z points, but of less than 3 points
in the rails.
April Liquidation.
In April liquidation increased in in
tensity. In the third week of that
month there was completed a selling
movement that had extended over q
period of nearly six weeks and which
carried down the industrial average al
most 80 points and that of the rails
about 18 points. The check to this
was temporary and slight, amounting to
about 3 points. 1t was Immediately
followed by another long period Of
forced selling in which the industrial
average declined II points and the rail
average over 10 points. When this
liquidation had run its course there
was feeling of relief throughout the
country, for it was then felt that the
bottom Of the market had been reached.
This proved to be inaccurate. In
June came the Chicago bank troubles
and fears Of developments abroad that
might again lead to foreign liquidation
The industrial average declined about
10 points to July and the rail aver
age Az points, while the average of
the public utilities touched a new low

coincident with the minimum prices for
the other two groups. On that date
the net result of q six months liqui-
dating movement was a decline in the
industrial average Of 80 points, In the
rail average of 10 points and OF 13
points in the public utility average.
What has taken place since that
fateful day Is recovery of nearly 80
points in the industrials, which at their
maximum this week were higher than
they had been at their best in Janu-
ary; one of II points in the rails,
which while not quite equaling the
January average had gained an aver
age Of more than 125 per cent, and
rise Of nearly IA points In the public
utility average. This has all been ac-
complished in a market of twice the
breadth of those in the liquidating Pc
riod with movements exceeding in vio-
lence, though not in duration, any up
or down that had previously occurred
this year.
The proponents of the reaction the
ory claim that market can only go
so far or carry on for certain pc
riod before it either becomes over
bought or oversold. 1t will then show
a fatigue that is preliminary to change
OF Qu6CLlOu. 1l1eIG nave Uccu olB1lS
of this at different times Of late, but
they have been transient and have
been replaced by new evidence of re-
markable vitality.
See New Psychology.
Those who maintain that the market
has a legitimate basis for further ad-
vance argue that it is dealing with
new public psychology and different
set of circumstances and that, while
it may be true that the averages have
caught up with those of last Decem-
ber, the whole domestic and interna-
tional picture today is measurably
brighter than it was seven months ago.
Liquidation has been completed, the
public is hopeful instead Of fearful. and
the constructive policies upon which at
tention has been centered here and
abroad since last october are now be-
ginning to bear fruit.
