GAIN IN CALLS

There was a reduction during
August of 152 telephones in the
District of Columbia. On August
81, the number of telephones in
service was 172,675, which is
SITS less than the number in
service on the same date a year
ago, according to the August re-
port of operations of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone
Company.
During August 1901 900 tele-
phone calls were made, approx
mately $4,000 more than were
made in the same month last
year.
Operating revenues for the
month were $732,188, $3,208 less
than in August, 1882. The total
revenues were also below the
corresponding month of last year
by $4,721. The expenses and in
terest for August this year were
$576,437, leaving a balance Of
$157,189.
FOR Cne 1lrSC e1gnC mOnCnS OF
1888, the total revenues amounted
to $6,037,170, a decrease of
$304,500 from the corresponding
period Of the previous year. The
expenses and interest for the first
eight months of this year were
$4,893,419, leaving balance Of
81, ,143,751, which was $2l ,852 less
than the balance reported for
the same period of 1882.
The cost of telephone plant in
service at the end of August was
34,528,644. According to John
A. Remon, general manager of
the telephone company, the net
return for the first eight months,
on an annual basis, was 5.87 per
cent.

Economist Advises Caution
AS Trading Necessity

for trading activity to increase on
weakness, and vice versa. The
rally early Tuesday failed. Sink
ing spells and breaks in individual
issues are disturbing to sentiment.
Evidently some stale bull accounts
have been undergoing liquidation.
Speculative bonds have turned
weaker. The rails have been un-
der pressure. Commodities have
shown weakness in important
cases.
Business news is not stimulat-
ing. Labor troubles are hamper
ing. Car loadings and electrical
power production are not up to
seasonal expectations. Oil pro-
duction control is not working
well yet.
Initiation Believed Due
On the other hand, whether you
want it or not, it seems to me that
we are still headed eventually for
currency initiation" And if this
be true, it is only a question Of
time before there is another rush
for equities.
In my opinion, the distinction
between credit initiation" and
currency initiation" is now futile.
Our currency is itself chiefly
credit!
It is usual to have a let-down
between the first rush of antici-
pated initiation and the final ire
vocable plunge into it. We are
now well along in such a let-down.
No one can tell how long this will
last. All one can do is to watch
market action, and keep one ear
to the ground for Washington de-
velopments.

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK, Sept. 29 G.N.s.).-The
coarse yarn cloths market displayed
a weaker undertone in todays ses-
sion as several first-hand sellers be-
what little business was available.
Some observers were of the opinion
that outside factors were exerting
more influence upon trading than in
ternal conditions which were strong.
Mills were generally we'll sold ahead
and many were in a comfortable posi-
tion on production for the remainder
of the year. Presence of uncertainties
as to Washington policy and as to
financial and credit conditions through
out the country were being given
consideration by those mill executives
who were trying to gauge the future.

Sterling Gains
With Dollar
LOwer

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 GN.SJ.
The dollar weakened against for
eign currencies today with the
rate down to $50 cents from 66.3
cents yesterday.
British pounds sterling re-
bounded to $4.74A, up ~ cents
and then eaSed slightly. Scandi-
navian exchange rallied from 3 to
6 points in sympathy with the
pound, and the Canadian dollar
gained "a cent at 9734 cents.
European gold currencieS were
moderately improved. French
francs gained 2A points at 5.64A
and then fell back moderately.
Belgian gelgaS, IL at 21.27; Swiss
francs, Is at 29.55, and Dutch
guilders, 27 at 61.47.
Restricted gold exchanges also
participated in the upturn. Ger
man marks advanced II points to
36.37 cents, italian lire, z to 8.03,
and Spanish pesetas, 3 to 1915.

AS this is written, the stock
market is dull and weak, with
many stocks at levels which may
be regarded as critical. Either
they will be supported here, or
Sizeable declines are likely.
This is not a very helpful OBJ
servation, but under prevailing
conditions of business an d
monetary uncertainty, what can
one say?
Urges Caution
At least, it suggests great eau
ton, both in making new commit
ments and in protecting present
trading positions.
While I see probabilities Of a
further inflationary rise event
ually, it seems doubtful at the
moment whether the current
period of readjustment has been
completed. We may, therefore,
well consider the So-called resist
ance levels on the down side.
For the Dow-Jones "Industrials," "
one can see resistance points at
about SO, 90, and 88. The first
has been broken. The second IS
near and is not very strong. So
88 is easily possible. A break
through SO might bring a dive to
Is or 80.
Cites Examples
Perhaps more significant are
individual cases. For example,
American Can has broken a re-
sistance level around 1874. A de-
cline to SO would seem fairly
probable.
Similarly, we find two signifi-
cent levels, one under the other,
for American Tobacco B and du
Pont, as follows: Tobacco, 85-79;
du Pont, 741a-66.
Other cases which seem import
ant are: American Smelling at
AZ, American Telephone at 1191a;
Union Pacific at 1910; Atchi-
son at Sc; Chrysler at Al; and U.
S. Steel at At.
"A Favorable Sign
The last case seems especially
interesting. big Steel" was ac-
cumulated at 46-47 last May. The
outlook for the industry is none
too good. Should the stock now
break through, it would be
distinctly diScouraging.
But should the market stay dull
and hold at this level, it would be
a favorable indication.
On the bear side, one notes
some tendency during recent days

Luigi voipi of % Brennan place, one of Waterbury's best known cabinet makers and machinigts, today received from the White House at Washington, D.

 "The president in receipt of your kind gift requests me to thank you heartily for tho handmade jewelry case which you were so good enough to send him. He accepts 1t with pleasure and deeply appre- ciates this evidence of your interest

It was obvious that the govern ment reached its decision only after sober conviction that there was no immediate compromise possible between it and the World War allies. :,
 Germany adamantIy demands that she be permitted to increase her armaments or that the allies, meaning France and Poland par ticuiariy, reduce theirs.
 France, with tho backing of the United states and Britain refuses to dlsarm before c test period of international armaments control. Germany was refused eoldly her requested permission for rearma- mont.
 The dciiberation with which tho government took its action was shown in the unindation of proc- lamations and dcerees that fol- lowed.
 In ono of the first, the govern ment's intention was revealed to ccntralIZc power absolutely in Ber- lin and Hitler.
 A separate government decree dissolved the stato parliaments and announced that there would be no new elections for state legislators.
 Thus ended for the time, in line with Hitler's already announced policy. tho German federal state system.
 Tho government statements were temperate and gave evidence of long consideration.
 It was announced that Germany would enter no arms race, that her complaint was that other nations wero engaged on disastrous armaments race.
 The German government, 1t was said was ready to negotiate just agreements. But 1t must be on e basis of equality, the government added, and rather than continue to endure the humiliations of the past the government and the nation preferred to bear any oppression of hardships.
 It was this that the government asked the nation to endorse.
 Tn line with the temperate tone of all the German announcements, officials made 1t plain to the United Press that they planned to leave the league smoothly and in friend- ly manner, as righteous protestants and not as rebels.
 Germany would observe all league rules, 1t was said, in her ab- sence. and would continue to pay her dues up to the day her resigna- ton became effective-the transi- ton period, as 1t was termed.
