SWELL HOPES
Of MARKET
Bx WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Jan. 9 UNS),
The Wall Street machine is sput
tering along on only one cylinder
now. The market barely moved
yesterday. Traders are reconciled
to the dullness, but are hopeful
of a turn before long.
The rise in steel operations for
the week was an encouraging
symptom. Along with this went
a sharp recovery in railroad
traffic, according to the first few
roads to report.
We hear Of some speculative
buying in bank stocks for the
first time in months. The ex.
planation is that current prices
are far under book values. Some
observers look for an early cam
paign to generate enthusiasm and
assure the United States loans
going over in big way.
A Wall Street "big shot" these
days is anyone who buys 100
shares of stock. This shows how
the average brokerage house is
faring.

Production of steel ingots for
the year 1888 by companies which
did 96.57 per cent of the buSi-

erations in 1882 averages 1895 per

Shoe Output Found
Nearing 1929 Level

The Bankers Economic Service
in survey just published discloses
that shoe production is currently
at 98h per cent of the 1929 pro-
duction.
Basic strength is lent to the
hide and leather situation, accord
ing to the survey, by the fact that
cattle production in the United
States is nearing it's peak Of the
present cycle. These cycles have
come with regularity every IA to
Is years since 1880.
The analysis brings out the de-
cline in beef consumption from II
pounds per capita in 1907 to 47.4
pounds per capita in the latest re-
port available, making a smaller
amount of hides available in this
country while, on the other hand,
the population has grown from IS
million in 1900 to 125 million in
1894.

Of l to 6 points in the leading

The boost restores the cigarette

when the price was cut to $3.50
per thousand.
The communications shares,
notably International Telephone
and Western Union were in good
demand throughout the session
and scored gains running to more

formance.
Indications of sharp rebound in
car loadings during the week
ended January 6 brought a
stronger tone into the railroad

trail and Atchison, the latter gain
ing more than a point. Kansas

active and sharply higher.

throughout the session and re-
bounded more than a point as

joyed a better demand.

In discussing this Bill with A American
officials before it came 70 the . lolic we
asked what were the city people to do
when the Company entered the various
lines of business operated oy them. they
not having been trained 10 agricultural
work.
The New fork Times brings the an
swer to this. Thousands of natives, Mr..
Iausig said will be repatriated on the
sugar cane lands and will be given five
anu ten acre plots as homesteads. Since
these thousands of natives are not COM
ing from the u lited STATES to work these
five and ten acre plots we know of no
other place to find them but in the towns
of Chrlstiansted and Frederksted.
We were advised that this was the
Presidents plan since it had had his up
provaI.
Now the President has been advised
it is tie Councils plan and is being en-
acted into law by the Council.
With the evidence at hand that it is
neither the Presidents nor the Councils
plan may we ask: Whose plan is it?
1t could not be the Secretary of the In
'terior's plan since it left Washington he
fore the President invited the Secretary
to join the advisory council
The Council Council is a credulous body
in consequence of which iI yielded to.
persuasion and gave away much of the
power vested in it by the Kingdom of
Denmark.
Now it is on the brink of committing
a folly that even fools would shrink
from.

EDITORIAL

Mr.. C W. Tausig's report to President
Roosevelt ought u make the scales fall
from the eyes of few of our simple,
trusting folks who would like TO see our
island converted into Baby Russia.
Mr.. rausig sat in conference with the
Colonial Council and was asked by Gov
ernor Pearson to explain the plan which
they had brought from Washington. He
read q few items from paper and the
Council was informed that the charter
now before the Colonial Council was
supposed to be filed in Delaware but
Governor Pearson, who had had an inter-
view with the President asked that the
Municipality of St. Croix be given the
privilege of Incorporating the Virgin Is
lands Company.
The rerrint from The New York Times
tells how Mr.. lausig explained the plan
to the President. informing Mr.. Roose-
Welt that this is the plan of the Colonial
Council of ST. Croix.
Yet the Colonial Council had been given
the impression that this was the plan
approved by the President and only In
PRODUCED here as matter OF compll-
ment.
1t did seem strange to US that. after
approving charter with Mr. lckes as
one VI tue tHIeS u uStSCos 'pu W u.iC Auc
party was travelling to the Virgin Is
lands with the charter that the President
would write letter to Mr.. lckes asking
him to accept appointment on an advisory
board, together with the Secretary of
Agriculture and five others in connec-
ton with the Virgin Islands rehabiita-
ton.
What we believed at first is new prov
ed to be true, that whatever is embodied
in bill raised by the Colonial Council
will be known as the plan-the wishes
of the Council, which body will be res.
ponsible for the result of the Baby Rus
sian experiment.

Through misleading representation
President Roosevelt took the airmaiI

it with the Army. In singing letter
to the Secretary of War the President
comes back at those who misled him
and he has decided to return the mail to
private lines.
