Collecting Pictures
Of Washington

A new hobby has been devised
by Herman H. Diers. an en-

Washington which appear in
bling all pictures of George

Already Mr.. Diers, who lives
at Ill Rhode Island Ave. N. E.,
has assembled more than $500
pictures of Washington. His
collection represents six months

he says, a fascinating hobby.
His collection was recently

SAC IN NATURAL
GAS USE DEEP

The steady expansion of the
natural gas industry during the
past decade was interrupted in
1881 when the production de-
clined for the first time since 1921.
The total marketable production
in 1881 amounted to 1856, ,436, ,00O,-
900 cubic feet, a decline of 1885,
985, 900, 900 cubic feet, or 13 per
cent, below 1880.
This decline is attributed chiefly
to a falling off in demand for
field purposes and for the manu-
facture of carbon black, by the
United States Bureau of Mines.
Reports of natural gas to Can
ada and Mexico increased in 1881,
totaling 2,231 100000 cubic feet,
of which 74,000,O00 cubic feet
went to Canada. Imports into the
United States (Montana) from
western Canada increased from
21,0OO,OOO cubic feet in 1880 to
44,000,0 900 cubic feet in 1881.
The natural gas produced in
1881 had total value at the wells
of 117,505, 900, and at points OF
consumption of 1892, 1916, 900.
Total consumption, production
plus imports minus exports, Of
natural gas in 1881 amounted to
1884 4,249, ,O0O.O 900 cubic feet.
OF this amount 571,365, 900, 900

By LEWIS HANEY
Professor Of Economics, New York
University

There is every indication that
the stock market is about to
test" the low level reached on
october 10 and the probability ap'
pears to be that new lows for ire
current recession will be seen be-
fore long.
In fact, all this is so obviously
indicated, that one might well
doubt that it will work out just
because the stock market so rarely
does the obvious. At present, how
ever, it is hard to see what can
prevent it.
Made Double Top"
Last week, atefr rounding off to
a very plainly marked top on
Thursday, the market reacted and
closed about two points below a
week ago. The bond market
made a double top" and lost
about half a point during the
week. Government bonds were
distinctly reactionary.
The market ClOSeO 0dIuIudJ
only about three points above the
October 10 low.
Some chart students point to
the gap" caused by the fact
that the market opened lower on
Friday than it reached at any
time on Thursday. They say that
this gap must be covered by a
subsequent rise.
But there was no volume or
panicky selling. A good many
important stocks showed no
gaps. Saturdays market showed
only a pause. as if consolidating
the decline. So I doubt that the
Friday gap has to be covered.
Worry to TechnicianS
Another point which is worry
ing market technicians is the ap-
preaching date for action on the
Steel Corporations preferred divi-
dend. What will the big COM
pany do? What will the stock
do if the dividend is declared?
Nobody knows-not even the
directors of the company. All
we know is that the dividend has
not been earned, and that it
probably will not be earned for
several quarters in the future.
If the dividend is declared it
will obviously be for effect on

business sentiment" and on
political sentiment" But will
the directors not feel the un-
wisdom of their past procedure
and hesitate to cut further into
the surplus?
Public Skeptical
Would not the public doubt
that these directors are any more
gifted with forecasting powers
than they have been in the past
and consequently refuse to take
the declaration Of a dividend as
being truly significant?
If they act "favorably" on the
dividend, there might be a run-in
of the shorts, but I think that it
would be brief. Probably it would
be a shrewd speculative move to
sell Steel short if the dividend is
declared and if the stock rallies
on the news.
About the only definitely bullish
arguments Just now are the rise
in car loadingS and the probable
expansion of the short interest.
Edge Taken Off
The edge is somewhat taken off
the traffic figures by the thought
that they may represent a belated
seasonal rebound from an abnor-
NAL hesitation in June and July.
The gain has been largely in coal,
which means that the nation is
rushing to lay in the winters sup
ply.
The bearish arguments are:
l. The market has shown but
a feeble rally, and has reacted
on approaching downward
trend.
2. 1t fails to respond to good
news"
3. Commodity prices con-
tinued distinctly weak.
4. Foreign exchanges show in
creaSing weakness in the dollar.
5. Very poor earnings for
leading companies.
6. Political preachments Of
disaster if the Democrats win,
at a time when Wall Street is
betting that they will win.
Making allowances for election
uncertainties" and arbitrary diVi-
dend actions, it seems to me that
the trend will continue downward,
broken only by occasional short
rallies. I would buy no stocks un-
til we see how things figure out
after the election.

The curb market continued to

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. IS GN.S0.
The stock market went through
a series of narrow and meaning
less fluctuations today as the
speculative community held to
the sidelines pending the out
come of the United States Steel
directors meeting this afternoon.
Grain Break Ignored
Even a break in grain prices,
wheat and corn going down a
cent a buShel each to new lows
for the season, failed to shake
Wall Street out of its apathy.
Normally a slump in grain would
have been followed by selling Of
stocks
Rails were generally firmer,
aided by the good showing Of a
new batch of September earn
ings reports. Gains were only
fractional, however.
Drug was again heavily sold as
the bonds of United Drug, a sub
. sidiary. suffered fresh break to-
day. Drug sold down nearly 2
points at a new low on the move
after early firmneSs.
Steel Issues Dormant
Neither U. S. Steel common nor
preferred gave any clue to the
outcome of the directors meeting.
The former was fractionally bet
ter most of the time. while the
latter was off slightly in light
trading.
Announcement that Chrysler
was starting production of its new
Plymouth was a supporting fac
tor to the motor shares. Other
groups were neglected. Bonds

lively short time in the Territory
and who have undoubtedly based
their findings ON observations over
small portion of the animals to-
tai range. Considering both the
innate of the unrecorded legal and
illegal kill, the Commission finds
that the annual kill of these bears
is well within the average normal
annual increase to be expected
from the most conservative esti-
mates of their numbers in the Ter
ritory. Unbiased observers familiar
with conditions throughout the to-
tai range state that the bear popu-
lation is with minor exceptions
well distributed.
In view of the fact that much
classification of the several varie-
ties of the brown bears of Alaska,
it is not at present practicable to
state definitely the exact range of
many forms.
By reason of its formidable size
and uncertain temperament, the
large coastal brown bear is an ami
NAL that commands immediate re-
spect of any sane person coming in
contact with it. There are several
instances on record in which per-
sons who have written or told of
the good nature, peaceable habits
and temperament of this noble ami
NAL, have in their field studies
either first fortified themselves
with a modern high powered rifle
or had guide standing at their
shoulder similarly equipped. 1t is
well that they did SO, otherwise an
interesting tale might not have
been told.
The Alaska Game Commission is
an appointive nonpolitical Federal
body and representative of both
the Government and the people of
Alaska in the protection and pres
ervation of the vast game re-
sources of the Wonderland of the
North. 1t is fully awake to the re-
sponsibilities involved and will
Immediately recommend to the Sec
rotary of Agriculture any addition
al protective measure that may be-
come necessary through changing
conditions.
A census of the bears ON Ad-
miralty Island will be taken in the
summer of 1892 according to a
statement of the Biological Survey
This will be accomplished by such
assistance as the Bureau may be
able to render in cooperation with
the Forest Service and the Alaska
Game Commission. The informa-
ton thus obtained will be helpful
in the preparation of a game man
agement plan for the island Fur
Their protection for the bears on
areas adjacent to the Glacier Bay
National Monument is also con-
templated in plans in course of
development.
