.KralcISuying Advised
As lliere seemed to lie considerable
doubt as to whether the bottom hail been
reached in the slock market, many
brokers were advising scale-buying on
the part of their clients. Due of these
said lie would not advise such buying
on the part of clients on earnings or
dividends based on the last three years,
which he said in many industries had
been aftnormal. Nor ,did lie favor basing
intrinsic values on (he year prior lo Ihe
war, but hi; believed a safe rule would

the best guide till conditions right them

"Plight t;f I'uhlic I'tilities"
A bunker, when speaking of. public
utilities, asked the question, "What has
become ot all the agitation or some
months ago about .he "plight of the I
utilities. "Surely, he said, "they an
not all satisfied with conditions." It
was pointed out lo him Hint many of the
complaints of the utilities, which broad
ly meant the traction companies, are
being aired in courts or before, com
missions or applications, are being made
for receiverships, while in several cases
increases in fares have heen granted.
'Hie predicament of Toledo, O.,
which' is nt present without street en:
facilities bi'ctiNso. in citizens voted to
oust' the company operating its lines
rather than pay higher fares, was
under discussion when this banker said
that Toledo had a light on its hands
some live years ago. The light then was
to compel the company to accept a four
cent fare instead of a live-cent fare, or
l lather to sell six tickets for twenty -live
1 cents'.
Harry L. Holici-ty at that time, he
said, as now, controlled the operating
company. .Tlie tlien mayor ol -loieuo
was a stubborn advocate for the low
fare and advised the people to ride and
, pay only lour cenrs. noucriy, lie sum.
1 told his conductors to collect live cents
I or nothing nud to allow those who
' refused to pay the live cents to ride
free. His instructions were obeyed to
l the letter, hut the people refused to he
j under obligations to Mr. Doherty and
I the live-cent fare was' soon established
I again without friction.
lint, the nia.Mir, he contended, ad
vertised that at a certain time and at
, a certain place, he would ride in one
' of tlie cars, pay only four cents and
I make a test case for the courts. At the
I appointed time and place he boarded a
j car, to find Mr. Doherty standing on
I tlie back platform with the conductor.

Against Jersey Police Chief
Trenton, Nov. 1 I.-- lismisa of John
C. Uosccnins from his position as chief
of police of the town of AVost field was
set aside by Justice Mergen in an opin
ion filed in Ihe Supreme Court yesterday.
Following' charges preferred against
llosecrans by Ihe commissioner of police
of the town, who alleged that Uosecrnns
neglected his duty in suppressing
gaming, a hearing was given and whiie
the local authorities wen considering
the evidence that had been presented
the town attorney tool; part in the de
liberations behind closed doors. It was
because of this fact that the dismissal
was set aside.
"To allow a conviction of misfeasance
and deprivation of otlice to stand under
such circumstances," said Justice I lor -gen.
"vVould jeopardize the rights of
wry citizen charged with an offense,
whatever defense he might lfe able to
present and prove. Nor is there any

I Written for Us
"Ten years ago this month, we
started in business in Philadelphia as
a partnership. We made the Corn
Exchange National Bank our deposi
tory and from the outset we made it
more than a mere strong box we
made it our confidante.
"Scarcely a month passed that
we did not consult the bank on some
business problem, some question of
finance or credit, where the wrong
course might have caused a serious
set back even wrecked our little
craft on seas we had not sailed
before.
"As a result, our business has
prospered growing from nothing in
1909 to one of the largest in our field
in 1919.
"If other young concerns would
take the same advantage of the close
business co-operation which the Corn
Exchange National Bank constantly
aims to give we are sure that they,
like ourselves, would find in such as
sociation one of the greatest elements
of success."
