SUGGESTS PLAN TO OPEN
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
Percy K. Chandler Recommends Mor
atorium and Guarrmten Fund.
A btond plnn for tho reopening of the
Stock Hxchanrfo Is suggested by Percy
M. Chandler, of Chandler llros. & Co., In
n letter which he has written to V. C.
Van Antwerp, n member of tho Govern
ing Committee Of tho NoW York Stock
Exchange.
"I think wc aro all agreed that the
problem, In n brottdsense, Is threcfdld,"
says Mr, Chandler, pointing out tho three
problems ah follows: "Protection of tho
foreign exchange situation due to heavy
liquidating sales by foreign holders; somn
cooperative effort by pool, or otherwise,
for the organized support of the mnrket,
and 'h" adjustment of tho collateral lonu
situation In such a way as not to force
Immediate liquidation by weak holders."
"Assuming Hhat tho Hi st two factors
nro beliu, or will be, satisfactorily solved
by the International bankers nhd larger
Interests on or before the opening of the
exchange," says Mr. Chandler, "tho fol
lowing plan might avoid tho dangers of
the third problem:
"Establishment of a moratorium of
loans for a pqrlod of SO dnya, more or
less, from tho dnto of the reopening of
the Stock Echangc.
"An assessment on all collateral loans
a ITected by Block otchnngo operations
of, say, 2 per cent, to be charged directly
against the borrower or his clients, tho
same as nny other enrtyim l)iirgc. Tills,
on nn estlmotcd J700.OCO.000 of collateral
loans, would net a guaiantee fund of
$14,000,000.
"No loans to eomo within the guar
antee fund except those cnrrjlng n 20
per cent, margin at the time of tho re
opening of tho Exchange, based ort the
olllclal or closing prices of July 30, 1314."

Signs of Improvement were noted In
virtually all lines of local business during
the last week, and people engaged In the
various trades look for better conditions
from now on. Dettcrment was more pro
nouncrd In the leather market, where
there was a good demand at high prices,
all grades coming In for more dealings.
As a general rule, collections are reported
as good.
In their weekly review of trade candl
tlons in Philadelphia, 11. G. Dun & Co.
say:
"In the local wool market prices have
ruled firm during the past week, and It
Is reported a better inquiry has devetooed,
especially for medium-fleeced and for tine
medium territories. As a rule, the de
mand has been mostly for Immediate de
livery, but manufacturers huvo shown but
little disposition to buy for future require
ments. "Pulled wools nro firm, with a harden
ing tendency In values of suprra. Carpet
wools art quiet and steady. Itetall mer
chants In men's and women's furnishings,
dry goods etc., state that there has been
a slight Improvement In sales during the
past week or 10 days. Jobbers of hosiery,
underwear and notions, state that while
trade has been quiet during the past sea
son, tho trade tit present Is buying a
little more actively than previously, but
for Immediate needs only.
"The Iron and steel marXet shows a
light Improvement during the past week,
though business continues dull. Price
concessions apparently caused no marked
Increase In buying and curtailment of
production Is still going on. In the fin
ished material mills are operntlng at re
duced capacity and new orders are re
ported light. Hut little demand is noted
from railroads, though there are said to
be some gocd Inquiries for export busi
ness, particularly in rails. Buying In
structural material Is light, though some
small contracts' arc reported in hand.
"Local houses In the anthracite coal
trade report doing a moderate volume of
business and state they expect business to
Improve from now on. In the bituminous
line conditions are no more favorable than
they have been for some time past and
trade is said to be very dull. Very little
export business Is reported, and no appre
ciable Increase Is noted In the volume of
business as the result of the lessening of
foreign competition.
"The leather market continues firm and
prices high. There is little stock of fln,
lahed leather on hand, and all grades of
heavy leather are In demand. Cllaied kid
Is In moderate demand, but dealers and
manufacturers are having dlfllculty In
making shipment, due to European war
conditions. '
"The paper market shows some Im
provement. Manufacturers and Jobberv
report a slight Increase In volume of
saics and prices are well maintain,
Paint manufacturers, dealers In paints
and painters' supplies report a moderate,
hut steady, increase In this line and pur
chases are confined to all grades of ma
terial. Dealers In window and Plata
glass report business for the present fall
aeatou very satisfactory. Soma houses
state that the volume of business done
during October. 1314. has exceeded that
for any period during the history of their
business." f

George Bernard Shaw
writes about the war in

The, Public Ledger has secured a remarkable
series of articles by Shaw, the first of which
appears on Sunday. The title of the series is
Common Sense
About the War
Shaw has written with biting and clever
sarcasm and frankness. You will want to read
all of these characteristically Shavian articles.
They are bound to bring forth a mass of
protest and criticism, in which Shaw delights.
