No Substitute Found for Short Sale
This is the third tn a series presenting the case for short selling horn the point of view of the market operator and investor. The book "Short Selling." bv J. Edward Meeker, economist of the New York Stock Exchange, published by Harper and Brothers, was used for this material. BY JOHN T. HAWKINS Times Financial Editor Perhaps the best defense of short selling that can be offered is the fact that none of the opponents of the system ever have offered a workable substitute for the operation. It is not probable that any substitute ever will be offered as these is no known way of accomplishing the same results of a short sale except by selling short. Were it possible to sell land short during the drastic inflation during booms it is entirely possible that the serious results, such as have been seen in this country, would be curtailed or entirely abolished. The recent boom and collapse In Florida real estate Is an excellent example. Results of abolishi-g the short sale entirely were made apparent on a small scale on Sept. 21-22. 1931. yfhenThe exchange suddenly forbade the practice during the English pound sterling crisis. With the news of the collapse of the pound sterling. England having abandoned the gold standard, the New York Stock Exchange was certain to be flooded with selling orders Monday. Sept. 21. The most drastic step that could be taken would be the closing of the exchange. This was to be avoided if possible. The board of governors

OIL DIVIDEND VOTED Standard of Indiana to Pay 25 Cents for Quarter. By United Press CHICAGO. Mav 2.—Directors of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana today voted a cash dividend of 25 cents a share, payable June 15 to stockholders as of record at the close of business May 16. The dividend is the same as was declared for the previous quarter.
of the exchange therefor adopted a rule not previously employed on the exchange. Short selling was forbidden for that day and until further notice. The board knew that the outstanding short interest in the market on Sept. 18 amounted to 4.241.000 shares, which would have to be bought In and covered, providing the only support available in a wild market. Market Is Endangered Within two hours after selling was forbidden the governing committee found the market in actual danger of technical comers and insane price advances. At one time there * were accumulated orders to buy 8.000 shares of General Motors with no offers of the stock within many points of the last preceding sale at 30%. Reading railroad opened at 48 %. advanced to a high of 75 and then declined to 82. Similar situations developed in leading and active shares such as United States Steel. American Can and others. In order to curb these wild fluctuations in price the business conduct* committee of the exchange was authorized to permit a limited amount of short selling. Closing Ik Prevented These facts proved beyond a doubt that complete prohibition of short selling could not be enforced even for two hours without creating an unnatural and dangerous market.
On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.
Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe it or Not,” which appeared in Saturday's Times: The Greatest Kidnaper of Modern Times—Czar Nicholas I (17961855) stained his reign by acts of unspeakable cruelty against his Russian subjects. On March 9, 1832, “His Majesty deigned to issue an order” to transport 100,000 children to distant parts of Russia. With heartrending disregard of any human sentiment, the Russian authorities proceeded to tear more than 100,000 infants, 1 to 8 years, from the arms of their Catholic or Jewish parents. The kidnaped children were fastened by twos and dragged in the dead of winter into the heart of Russia. The Russian roads presently were strewn with the little bodies, death coming from fatigue. Those who survived were farmed out to ignorant peasants, •who brought them up in the orthodox faith. Upon reaching military age, the “cantonists” were incorporated in the Russian army for a period of twenty-five years. None of them ever saw his home again. The "cantonists” are an ineffacable blot on the history of Russia in the nineteenth century. Land-Level Is 10.000 Feet Below Sea-Level—Sea-level is not level, due to the many movements to which the ocean is subjected and because of the attraction of elevated masses of land upon the waves. Scientific efforts have resulted in determining that the mean level of the whole land sur face lies along a line 10.000 feet below present “sea-level.” The abysmal area below this line is of equal extent with the area above it. Fahrenheit’s Thermometer Not Fahrenheit's Work Fahrenheit, who first made a mercury thermometer. took as his zero the lowest temperature then obtainable (a mixture of salt and ice). Taking the temperature of the human body as a standard, he established it at 96 degrees. Others then discovered that the boiling point of water was a more easily determinable standard and the Fahrenheit thermometer was changed, through fixing of the boiling point at 212 degrees and of the temperature of the human body at 98.

Without the short Interest behind the market during the crisis, an interest that was forced to buy to protect itself, the exchange might have been forced to close. If the short interest had been permitted to exhaust itself, the same thing might have occurred. The short sale Is one of the most effectual curbs against manipulation of the market in that It provides free competition against intended price inflation. It almost would be impossible to prohibit the short oale by law. Should the borrowing of stocks to be delivered In a short sale be prohibited. stocks still • could be sold short for future delivery. If this were prohibited, optional contracts could be employed. "Doctors hesitate to remove a patient's vital organs until they can replace them with some substitute method whereby life can be conducted.” Meeker says. “Legislators and stock exchange executives alike must hesitate to prevent or abolish short selling. If they can not suggest how the necessary economic functions now carried on by the short s-’.le can thereafter be effected." For a more thorough understanding of the principles of short selling. "Short Selling” by Meeker is the most easily read book yet written on this subject. The author shows the reader all the different technical steps necessary in the operation of a short sale and cites countless examples of the effects of the practice.

WHEAT SHOWS EAST TONE IN LIGHTTRADINS Corn and Oats Stronger on Marked Improvement in Sentiment. BY HAROLD E. RAIWILLE United Press fit iff Correspondent CHICAGO. May 2 —Wheat opened easy and fractionally lower on the Board of Trade in a light trade today. Weak cables caused scattered selling and support was limited at the start. Liverpool was weak on heavy deliveries but they went into strong hands. There was little pressure, but most traders were waiting a definite trend before making commitments on either side. Corn was firm but uneven at the start with sentiment greatly improved. Oats was unevenly steady with corn. Opening Is Irregular At the opening, wheat was V* to S cent lower, corn was \ cent lower to 4 cent higher, and oats, 4 cent lower to 4 higher. Provisions were dull. Liverpool was lower than expected. despite a late recovery, and at mid-afternoon was 4 cent to 4 cent lower. Deliveries at the start today were 2,117.000 bushels, which was in line with expectations. Liquidation of May was about completed Saturday without any undue excitement, although there still are some open contracts which may be closed out or transferred. More attention will be paid to crop reports and export demand. Private crop reports are due Tuesday. Expect Corn Upturn Many traders are looking for an upturn in com this week, due to a sharp change in conditions. Deliveries early were 1.470.000 bushels, while the country shipped in mor® than 1.000,000 bushels last week, an improved shipping demand took them and suggested that Ohio and Indiana supplies were about depleted. Deliveries on oats were 1,755.000 bushels this morning. In the absence of any important news the market likely will continue to follow corn.
