VOLUME XXXI, No. 322
‘MEN AND MARKETS’
By P. *F. B.
BABSON PARK, Mass. Time
barometer of business is boiling—
in fact it threatens to boil over.
The tremendous volume of trading
since the election reminds one of a
similar movement 23 years ago.
The “McKinley Market” started the
day after election. Rails led the
advance and continued to rise for
six months. That was another
contest between radical and con
servative. In that case William J.
Bryan and “Free Silver” supplied
the fireworks and threatened busi
ness. The moment the ballots
were counted and the country fac
ed four years of safe and sane gov
ernment the stock market baro
meter of confidence shot upward.
The analogy is close enough to be
interesting but hardly close enough
to predict that the market of 1901
will be repeated in 1925.
DID WALL STREET MISS IT?
The story is going round that Wall
Street—that is the professional
speculators—missed this post elec
tion rise. Certainly the bulk of
buying orders have been coming
over the wires from the West and
South. It would be a joke if “the
insiders" lulled by the apathy of a
dull summer had slept right
through one of the most active
markets in many moons.
BERNARD M. BARUCH, one
time head of the War Industries
Board, is advocating a Court of
Commerce—a sort of Supreme
court of business tvhere rulings |
might be had on the legality of
certain agreements and trade prac
tices. This would certainly be an
improvement on our present sys
tem of going ahead into a new field
—being sued —and 'going through
months, possibly years of expense
and litigation to get at the inter
pretation of some indefinite law.
TAX REDUCTION again has the
stage. A special session is being
discussed. The Republicans say
they will now put through their
original program. The Democrats
and independents say that if the
Republicans don’t give the public
real tax relief that they will force
the issue. Personally we don't
care who reduces our taxes so long
as they are reduced.
IRON AND STEEL ACTIVITY
already reflects much improve
ment. Orders are reported ns the
largest since 1920. One producer
lias increased the price of sheet
steel by $3 a ton. Another of the
few remaining unfavorable baro
meters of business is headed for
the favorable column.
THE ALCHEMISTS are still at
it. Ono Dr. Free is conducting
scientific experiments in New York
to determine whether quicksilver
can be turned into gold by electri
cal treatment. The last chemist
Is apparently still working on the
problem that intrigued the first.
The only difference is that it has
done. Last year in Germany, Pro
fessor Miethe claims to have made
a small quantity of gold from
quicksilver. Other scientists have
checked his experiments and en
• dorse his claims. Apparently he
lias produced synthetic gold—the
alchemists dream has been rea
lized—but it costs much more than
the kind nature makes.
THREE LARGE TIRE producers
have recently bought as many cot
ton mills that they may produce
their own fabric. Competition is
keen and it is evident that costs
will be cut. All this argues well
for the man who must buy "shoes”
for the family car.
GERMAN GOLD reserves have
been rising at the rate of $15,000,-
000 a week. Where does it come
from? An examination of trans
actions shows that dollar credits
and deposits held abroad in private
accounts are being cashed and de
posited to the credit of the Reich
bank. Evidently even the Germans
themselves are convinced that the
Dawes plan will work.
DO YOU SUPOSE the Congress
men who put this noxious publicity
elause in the tax bill figured that
the government would win on the
chap who has a $2500 income, but
pays a tax on $12,500 —to help his
social standing?

Ranchers Who

LOS ANGELES.—How to
restore without bloodshed
the flow of water through
Los Angeles* 25-mile aque
duct diverted into Owens
viver Sunday by raiders who
swooped upon the water
gates near Lone Pine, 200
miles north of here, despite
protests by city employes
any Inyo county officials,
was a problem that faced
Los Angeles authorities
Monday.
The ultimatum delivered by the
raiders was that the gates would
remain open until Los Angeles set
tled the Owens Valley water rights
feud on a basis satisfactory to the
valley ranchers and business men.
No attempt at forcible dislodg
nient of the raiders will be made by
the city pending Governor Richard
son’s reply to an appeal for state
troops, Los Angeles officials said
but 75 civil complaints were pre
pared for filing in the superior
court asking injunctions to dis
possess the raiders.
Except for two, all the complaints
are directed against "Joe Doe". The
two named are M. Q. Matterson, a
banker of Bishop, and W. R. Mc-
Carthy, irrigation engineer.
As for the raiders ultimatum.
William Mulholland, builder of the
aqueduct and chief engineej of the
city water department, declared it
would be ignored.
The water escaping through the
wastegates is estimated to cause
the city a loss of SIO,OOO daily, but
sufficient storage is still on hand in
reservoirs to supply ordinary de
mands for ninety days.

There were no untoward incidents
during the night, the raiders having
l held full sway since their party
seized the gates Sunday, accord
ing to Frank Lasky, gatekeeper
here.
Determined to keep the water o*
the aqueduct flowing through the
spillway until Los Angeles settles
its long standing water feud with
Valley ranchers in a manner ac
ceptable to them, the raiders de
fied aqueduct authorities and the
Inyo county sheriff to drive them
out. The raid Monday had settled
into an organized occupation back

manager of the road.
Even before the debris of the
large railroad piers, fourteen river
barges, a steamer lighter and much
valuable freight had cooled, Mr.
Montell directed wrecking crews to
the scene.
Three firemen are in the hospi
tal seriously * injured. Captain
George Albertson, of the New York
Central tugboat Jackson which
with eight others from New York
city responded to calls for assis

pipe and may die. The other two
were lilt by flying debris and burn
ed. The fire, the second $1,000,000
water front blaze in Jersey City in
three days, was discovered by a |
watchman who saw smoke curling j
from tin opening high in the side of I
the piers. Despite the efforts of
the entire Jersey City fire fighting
force the flames spread rapidly.
For a time the Erie passenger
terminal was threatened. Blazing
barges were towed out into the
Hudson river. Burning embers
showered on to the roof of the ad
jacent warehouse of the American
express company in which were
stored express packages valued by
official* nt sl,OttO,ooo. Even nearer
the blazing piers were three steel
express cars loaded with another
million dollars of merchandise.
Two of the cars were pulled to
safety but a third was uncoupled.
Contents of this ear and the ware
house were saved only by constant
streams of water from at least six
nozzles. One package in the car,
company officials said, contained
pearls valued at $135,000. The
cause of the fire remains unknown.

was presided over by Herluf
Zahle, Danish minister to Ber

The object of the conference
is not only to obtain an agree

the growth of the plants from
which they are manufactured to
the same humane requirements.

eager discussion following the

The first conference closed Sun
day without achieving either of the
objects for which it was convoked.
It failed to form any estimate of
the amount of opium required for
smoking purposes or of tha date
when importation of the drug for
this purpose could be terminated,
and took no measures to curb illi
cit production in China.
JAP SPOKESMAN
IS NOT SATISFIED
Japan’s spokesman declared that
until she was assured freedom of
opium importations his country
would not sign the convention
which had been drawn up in rough
form. Portugal was dissatisfied
over the treatment of the situation
in Macao and China was averse to
acting until the European powers
agreed to institute a system of
rationing dnd registering opium
