icance. If on the other they decide to approach it by stages they will be able to do so without opprobrium and in an equally sacred manner,"

A refreshed marriage-techni- que such as might be expected to accompany this change of policy; the fuller study by every- body of the problems involved; the lifting of the matter out of its old conventional mould might send the people into such a scheme with so exalted a moral that State Endowment of Motherhood might be a sufficient economic background to the new effort, leading, as it should do, to a new basic harmony of the first ten years of married life.

The number of dissolved period-marriages might then be

low.

To get the full value of a tonic freedom in pursuing this policy, however, it should be backed by some form of citizens' allowances for every man, woman or child, akin to what has been called by some "The National Divideñd."

EXCHANGE

SWAN, CULBERTSON & FRITZ LATEST REPORTS

New York, Nov. 10. S. C. & F. New York correspondent cables:

Stocks: The market continues to refect some disappointment over the President's remarks in his Message to Congress yesterday. Prices are likely to drift irregularly lower until some definite action to improve bust- ness becomen evident. Business failures during the past week totalled 172, against 102 fallures the previous weck, Banks deposits for the week amounted to $14,657,000,000 as com- pared with $14,010,000,000 the pre- vious week.

Cotton: The approaching inven- tory period is a contributing factor to the slack mill interest and further curtailment in production is reported.. The market was quiet and feature- less.

Wheat: Forecast of another freeze in Argentina and estimates that the previous damage to the crop there ranged from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels had a steadying effect on the market here. Exports, however, lag and it is reported that the Russlan wheat crop is around 1,200,000,000 bushels, which may be a forecast of sizeable export offerings later in the scason.

Com: The market was steady on moderate exporta and on expectation of a lighter crop movement. Cash demand, however, was slow and the visible supply is placed at 15,000,000 bushels.

Rubber: Trading was sluggish and there was no important factory de- mand. A fair quantity of el. rub- her was offered. The motor Indus- try's labour disputes are disquieting.

Hides: October shoe production Is expected to be under 30,000,000 pairs, whilst November production is unti- cipated to be below 25,000,000 pairs.

Sugar: The current stagnation continues.

S. C. & F. Dow Jones Summary of yesterday's markets!

Although trading, on the whole Auctunted was dull, prices to-day brondly, Much bustness news Was unfavourable. A substantlol decline in car-loading is indicated. Several ruilroads have reported sharp drops m their

There has been incomes, come tax-selling of individual issues. Brokers have reported considerable switching in order to establish tax losses, and it in expected that such operations will increase and continue to be a market factor for the remain- der of the year,

Curb stocks and bonds were lower, with United States Government issuta higher,

Wall Street Journal morning com- ment.

There Is much switching from motors into more favoured groups of shares. It is gossiped that some lood- ing automobile companies' aules in January and February will be about half of current levels.

The Street believes that any rise in demand would rapidly stimulate the steel output.

There is some long pull buying of building construction shares.

The present high ratio of chemical issues to earnings could make this group vulnerable.

The technieni possition of utility. Securties has been weakened owing to last week's rise.
