S WILL STHEET IS PURGED i- OF SPECULRT1VE STOCKS a^v \ bduMals Hare R?m Severely Shaken, but l*rospcct? Are Brighter. | IP U BLI C IS AFTER KAILS IP High Grade Motors and Oil Shares Are Among Those That Still Have Considerable Vitality and Are in Demand. m BY nnOAUAX AVA1-I i NTBTW YOItK, Nov. 16.?Wall Street opens a new week with a market that has been purged of most of It*- specu lative stocks. The industrials have been severely shaken, and it Is not likely the offenses that led to the ahake-out will be repeated. Atten tion has therefore been attracted to t;ae railroad stocks, which have not had any movement of Importance for to any months. These rails sire held by the general public, and therefore the movement in them will be wel come to the public at large., as well as by professional Wall Street. The bull market in the industrials may be considered ended except in tepbctal stocks, where there are par ticular reasons for advances. The hfr&i-grade motors and oil stocks are among those that still have consid-j era Me vitality. Trading in them will no doubt l>e limited because the banks are standing together :ri their deter- | minatlon to permit no further demon- , strations of importance. CoBRTr-*.-* la \Vot?lkMl. "Whether railroad stocks will be J profitable ss market leaders depends | on the action of Oongrers. f*atest re ports from Washington are t*nt Com gines? will eliminate from t.ie new railroad hill those features that have been objectionable to union leaders, j The spirit of compromise is agreed [ upon everywhere as necessary as l?e j tween lat>or and capital, becaues it is I evident that both have made serious t mistakes. It i.= well that things were \ brought to a crisis as they were for now there is complete understanding i by every one. Union labor S?as been made to un 1 derstand that the public will not fol ; low its radical leaders, but that the ' public will respect the course of labor j and grant it many favors if it will .only settle down and conform to the | prevalent opinion of the country that whit Is needed now is more produc i tion ami longer working days rather than restricted production and less la bor. The public is willing to pay 1 il> e-raJly for production. Oalv by in creased production can tho high cost of living be reduced. Mrarj Situation Fndrrnf nod. As to Oe money situation, it Ls | thoro'aghly understood by every one thai, there is a curtailment of credit necessary, but the .great compluint in Wall Street has been that speculation is permitted in commodities, whereas Wail Street Is attacked for using! money that only rightfully belongs to it. The Wall Street banks are carry ing several billion dollars of Kuropcan credits sold to America as a result of the war, and the presence of these aredJtfi. whioa aro as yet undigested, compiicatoe matters very much. Wall 'Street is perfectly willing to quiet .and it would not havo objected ho restraint on the part of the gov ernment the past week except for the tact that leading hanks we.re urging the people to specul&to up to the very day that they suddenly turned ami refased to lend any more money. If the brakes had beon applied gradually there would Uave been no criticism and,pa fcj>rd feelings. ?p/ro of tho most important things to look forward to now la Cbe crop situa tion for next year. The country sim ply most have & record output of all kinds of agricultural products if the boom' that so many expect is really to materialize. As there lias been sev eral years of big crops, the law of chance Is against a big crop In 19t!0. Strenuous efforts on the part of farm era are therefore necessary to produce the desired result If union labor docs not abate some of Its demands for shorter hours, the farmers may take It into their heads to restrict their OQtput also, and that would be a calamity impossible to measure. Owners of coal properties need have no fear that tho introduction of oil into biff cities will ruin them. Business is ferowlng so rapidly that the introduc tion of oil for use in Uouses and manu ; factories will hiave plenty of room for eoal ;in flact, oil and coal may well I prosper together. T? Sesrejpitt f?oad*. ; One point of the railroad program as now proposed is that the roads will be compelled to .segregate their * industrial business from the railroad business. Such companies as the Head 'lajf. Southern I^untic and Great North ern have industries of tremendous , valuation. The' segregation of these '[ tremendous propertie.v would mean the declaration of sto.'k dividends to their Uolders and at least Uie r rights in the new companies to be organized. -! There is norh.ny Wtter than rights ' ' on stocks when properly handled to accelcrato tho market ;ii the stock. A. i the nails have not niovi-d ::i many if 1 jridnths and are low in price, it is en tirely possible that Wall Mrcet may see a rail market equally :r, propor tion to the industrial market ju;; com pleted. 1 .T-ie imxHiate future in Wall Street, ttiorefore. may ?(.u .rn:>r<.v< merit in the railroad list.

Karly Thanksgiving shoppers added largely to the volume of sales, but this was coontlned larg-ely to the gro cerytnen and fruit dealers. The wholesalers in all lines, especi ally the grocery jobbers, report a good week's business, dampened a little by the Impossibility of gettir.c the good's already contracted for from the manu facturers. The shoe dealers', the hat sellers and the clothing jobbers com plain very much of this trouble and the hardware inon have about gotten used to that kind of thing and are now wasting no time complaining. Retailers of all kinds expect pretty lively business from now until Christ mas. and they are making all the preparations for the holiday rush as it is possible to make.

D'Annunzio and his whole staff were I on a destroyer. which could have eas ily been captured or blown out of the | water. The Italian fleet commander ! didn't even interpose a squadron he j tween D'Annunzio and the harbor of I Zara. One of the navy officials who has ? kept in touch with this latest de ! parture in Dalmatia said today that | it was well known that D'Annunzio j had "taken the temperature" of the navy and army oflicials and men who | were expected to pen him up in Flume, ! and found that it was just as high as i his own. The American oilicials, how ever, believe that as the news from Trieste is that D'Annunzio went to ] Zara to occupy it merely as a base ! from which to stir up the whole of ! Dalmatia, there will be some itnpor | tant news from there as soon as D'An i nunzio marches into the hinterland. _ With the Italian fleet itself patently ' fleet, under Hoar-Admiral Andrews, a 1 friendly to him and the American hundred miles away, D'Annunzio will ? be free to act. It was otherwise at Trau, where some of his followers I landed some weeks ago, and where the I American forces went ashore to prc I vent a fight between D'Annunzio's fol j lowers and the .Tugo-Sluvs. | The continent of navy oilicials is that ! there will be no more incidents like i that at Trau.

Ilo attributed his imprisonment to "hysteria," which, he ?aid, was due to "British propaganda." "No conditions were Imposed on the prisoners," said Dr. Muck, "but it was urgently suggested that any one who wished to leave America and return to Germany might have their liberty. I did not want to comply with this stipulation, but my wife argued me into it, and i Ilnally agreed. And so ono day I was free. My bank account and my house in Boston the American government has conliscatcd, and 1 do not know how tilings will come out." Dr. Muck said lit; had made no plans for the future, but that under no cir cumstances would he remain in Ber lin. He ^.iid it was possible he might jo to Switzerland or to Gratz.
