Warning SOUNDED
ON BUYING FRENZY
Rise Going Too Far in Some
Classes of Securities,
Writer Fears.
BY DIR. MAX WINKLER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July l8.-The advance
In securities prices, as measured by the
averages Of representative issues traded
In on the New York Stock Exchange,
has gone beyond the expectations of
the most confirmed optimists.
That the rise, In many instances, has
gone too far is obvious to one who in
clines to take into consideration the
many anomalies with which the market
IS replete.
It is equally obvious that no one will
ring the bell when to dispose Of shares.
It Is here where the danger lies.
It may not be amiss at this time to
direct attention to the relatively slow
change which has taken place In funda-
mentals. Disregard for these has al
ways been paid for dearly.
However, in rising market the
average buyer Of securities who has not
yet rid himself of the equity or COM
mon stock complex acquired and de-
veloped In the halcyon days of 1927
1929, is anxious to get aboard ere 1t
Is too late.
This. In turn, is taken advantage Of
by professionals, leading to the forma-
ton of pools on the part of those who
may be anxious to dispose of long po-
sitionS. In many instances these COM
prise securities Of rather dubious value
They have risen impressively, re-
CARELESS Of merit. The day Of reckon
ing is bound to come. This, however.

should not be interpreted o. the end
Of the upward trend.
It is somewhat difncult to share the
unqualified enthusiasm over chain stores
securities. especially so-called equities
or common stocks. Gross sales for the
1rst six months do not reveal q uni
formly encouraging picture Sixteen
companies, which report regularly, show
for June . decline of only about one
half Of per cent. While this showing
Is not particularly impressive, It Is en-
couraging in that It may indicate q
healthy trend.
Halt Of the reporting companies re-
ported gains, with Penney and Murphy
heading the list. showing increases OF
2l2 and 2lk per cent, respectively,
compared with June of last year. The
Newberry Co. Is distant third. with
an increase Of about liz per cent: fol-
lowed by Grant with a gain Of II per
cent. Montgomery Ward ranks next
with a gain OF close to 8 per cent; fol-
lowed by Walgreen with gain Of about
~ per cent. Among chain stores
which report losses for June, Sears Roe
buck heads the list, with q decline of
materially more than TN per cent.
The showing for the first six months
Is less satisfactory than for June, due
to the fact that the improvement last
month was Offset by the poor showing
during preceding months. In the jan
uary-June period, only four out of the
16 companies show increases, compared
with the corresponding period a year
ago, with the largest gain reported by
the Murphy Co., amounting to about
81 per cent

fact that, like Weaver Brothers, lead
ing builders and realty firms have
chosen the gas refrigerator for apart

Satisfaction is assured for all con-

ilPrince of piIsen"
 On Air Tonight

'arhe Prince of Pilsen," which made an unexpected contribution to American folk-lieder with the rousing tune "It's Always Fair Weather When Good Fellows Get Together" will live again in q radio presentation by the Aborn Opera Company. The operetta will be heard in tho Five Star Theater performance over a Co., lumbia Broadcasting System net wo rk from 1O:00 to 10:30 p. m., E. s. T. tonight.
 The special continuity prepared by Milton Aborn will retain tho highlights of Gustav Luders' music and Frank Pixlcy's liberetto. The action of "rhe Prince of Pilsen" takes place in Nice, France, and Is based on a case of mistaken identity. Hans Wagner, Cincin- nati brewer, is mistaken for the Prince of Pilsen, who is expected as a visitor in Nice. When tho real prince arrives, he learns Wag- ner has Q daughter and defers making his identity known until he meets her. At the first meet ing he and Nellie Wagner fall in love. A misunderstanding on the part of Nellie's brother. Tom, leads his to challenge the prince to a duel. The two men are arrested, but when everything is explained they become fast friends. Hans and Mrs Crocker, an American widow, strike up an acquaintance in the meanwhile. much to the discomfi- ture of Lord Somerset. better known as Artie, who has been try ing to win the widows hand. When the various misunderstand- ings have been cleared up Nellie agrees to become the Princess of Pilsen and the show ends on a happy note.
 Vivian Hart will be heard in tho role of Nellie. and Roy Chopper will be the prince. Tom Wagner will be played by Edward Nelt Jr.. and Hans Wagner by Al H. Williams. The other parts will be portrayed as a follows: Mrs Croc- ker by Eulalie Young; Edith Adams, Toms sweetheart, by Laura Ferguson; Artie by Eric Titus; and Francois by Hobson Young.
