Buch a supposition g a treat he mlstukc, 1'ou Imply cannot dodg It. You run up against it at every nook and turn. Peo ple you would naturally think never heard of the stock market put the ques tion at you in the most unexpected places. At least this was the experience of the writer of this column during a two weeks' vacation trip. It is not alto. ? ether strange, after all, in view of the act that Uncle 8am, in selling his Liberty and Victory bonds and notes, gave the stock market game the great est, widest and' most perfect advertising it ever hod, or ever could afford to pay for. Many people who bought' these bonds never know what a Htock mar ket page in a newspaper looked like, or, at least, did not for a moment ever have the least interest for them. It is all different now. There arc le gions now who scan tho quotations and seek information concerning tho big speculative game. It has been said the public is not in this market. They may not hnvo Been getting In recently, but it Is safe wager that n great many did get in some time within the last Ave years, judging from the Innumerable, queries put at the writer during his two weeks' rest period. You simply cannot get awny from the market, no matter where you go. lou will run against "What do rou think 6f tho market?" on the high seas, In the smoking room, on deck, nt the pier, off the pier, on tho most remote Island In the South Atlantic, and even on a fishing smack. Tho banana planter. I tho sugar planter, all want to know what the particular mock or bond he has purchased is likely to do. You hear lt so much that you sleep with It, eat with It and walk with it. It meant a big business for brokers and they can thank Uncle Sam for it nil. Asphalt on the nig Exchange If current stories can be ncccpted, the Philadelphia stock exchange is yoing'to lose another active speculative favorite. It was semiofficially stated yesterday that applications had been .roijle, or soon would be made, to list the General Asphalt Company issues on the New York Stock Exchange. They have gono through the preliminary exercises on the curb market, which institution has been the most active mnrkct for theno shares tho last year or so, or since the 'New Y'ork crowd took the stock from the Philadelphia contingent. Some time mo. a prominent trader on the local exchange said that when ever a live one was liiteu on the local market. New York took It nwnv from their Quaker City brothers. In tlio Inst two decades the Philadelphia Stock Exchange has lost a number of big mouey earners for the brokers In Head ing, PcnnRylvnnln, Lehigh Valley, Electric Storage Uattery, Philadelphia Company and several other local crea tions listed on the big board. ,Of course, there is a broader market on the big exchange, but it is regretted that ways and means are not found to re tain the active Interest In Philadelphia. The late Fred T. Chandler nnd Al bert Turner worked like Trojans to keep the pot boiling here, but they, like other lenders, never got the real sup port to help their efforts. Market Essentially Professional One of the rccognlicd experts In dlag nnilnir the current market situation ns- Iserted vestcrdav that before the nroflt- I taking reaction following last week's too rapid advance set in me rauruuu uv-no-n mndo n new litsli level for the ycor. I Hlluhtly above its previous top, and tho Imliiatrinl nvprnep nnd 1USI nuoiu piiiiui- ed the top of October 0. Both gained half a point on tho week. Certain spec ulntlvo 1ini1iM-H. llki Crucible and Mcx lean Petroleum nnd Ualdwln, had made new high prices for the month nnd In the motors Chandler very ucariy impli cated the high of last month. Industrial nnd commercial rcccsslous, which arc reasonably certain to continue until March, are a poor background for a bull market, and one need not be surprised, therefore, at the refusal of the public to participate to any extent in stock market activities for several months. But tho professional acts from differ ent motives and this Is essentially pro fessional market. Indeed, It would lmrdlv he ntrnvneant to sav that trad ers would prefer technical strength nnd poor fundamental conditions to good business nnd an overbought market so far ns their short swing speculation is concerned. Hence it will be technical conditions affected from day to day by outside news events which will control fluctuations, always, of course, bearing In mind thnt extreme temporary ease In call money or extreme tightness would be an influential factor. Doom Period Over In its business review for October the Penn National Bank Bulletin najs: "Developments during the last month have made it plainer to all that the boom period is over and that business is working toward a new trading basis at a lower price level. It Is not unex pected that there should he widespread resistance to this fall in the business tide. Every one has recognized and urge0 the necessity for donation . anil com plained of high prices, but no one wants to sec his own particular business af fected. Nevertheless, despite the per plexities of the present situation, there is general approval of the fact that a change to sounder conditions is defi nitely under way and relief thnt it Is proceeding In so orderly n manner. How long the transitional period will be drawn out depends In a large measure upon the readiness of business at each step in the productive and distributive process to get its wares down to prices which will bo attractive to buyers. Though this means loit.es, the;? Is naught to be gained by clinging to high priced inventories whllo the tide ebbs further nnd further. Tho hold-out now is simply delaying the readjustment to a level which would permit of n renewal of confidence, and runs also tho risk of being placed at a further disadvantage by his competitors who dispose of their stocks by early concessions to the changed conditions. It has been aptly said that we must cither climb down from tho peak .of Inflation or fall down, and those who resist, the forces, now working arc impeding tho operation of the slower method."

HUDSON RIVER OIL DRILLING OPPOSED Palisades Park Commission Head Protests Granting of Per mit to Commander Davis ACTION HELD UP TO JAN. 15 Trenton, Oct. 10. Disposing of an application for permission to make borings in the Hudson river for oit, mado by Clcland Davis, n retired naval commander, of Englewood Cliffs, the Department of Commerce and Naviga tion advised Commander Davis that he would be compelled to wait until January 15 before the board could take any action. Commander Dvvis made an application last July for a lease of riparian rights extending for n mile and n half in the Hudson river, but under the statuto tho owner of the upland is given six months to ncqulre tho rights as against the nonrlpnrlnn owner. Richard V. Lindabury, president of the Palisades Interstate Park Com mission, appeared before tho board Testcrday and protested against the granting of tho permission on the irround that the construction of ma chinery and other equipment, incident to the oil prospecting would be unsight ly and detrimental to the nark nronortr, He advised the board that the riparian commission hail no thought of acquiring the riparian rights, since all the prop erty In front of the park belonged to the state and. if the application were made, it would be merely the trans ferring of the money necessary for the acquirement of the rights from one department to the other. Shortly after Mr. Lindabury left the board meeting. Commander Davis, ac companied by his counsel, appeared and advised as to his Intentions. He said lt was his thought to he prepared to make borings to the extent of 2500 feet in the river, and that all that would be necessary would be the erection of a small platform and n steel tower, which would In nowise interfere with shipping. He wns advised by H. O. Jenkinson. vice president of the board, that the price of the property he intended to lasc had some time ago been fixed at the rate of .V-iTiO a front foot nnd roughly estimated that the rate of yenrly rental would be about $150,000. Commander Davis Is the Inventor of the gun bearing his name, which is used in airplanes and has been officially adopted both In this country and In England. It Is more or less generally used by other nations. LEAGUE SUNDAY 0PF0SED Harvard University President Dis claims Knowledge of Proposal Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 10. Presi dent A.
