WEST CO. OPINION OF N. Y. MARKET New York. Steel's strength continued to overshadow the whole market In the late morning.

Renewal of its upswing carried the premier industrial to new' high for the year at 107, stimulating further strength In the general industrial list which was not disturbed by American Woolens decline to new low on the move at 69 3 4, a drop which reflected, an uncertain outlook for the woolen trade.

SOME ONLY SHOULD CHANCE AND EASE Editor Forbes Magaiinet Noted Financial Authority Do New Tork, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Detroit, Boston, and other very large cities Her bet ter inducements for getting ahead than smaller, places? i I tun prompted to ask this question because of the large number of visits and. letters I receive from persons who have either pulled up their roots and come to New Tork or who plan to do Well, how do you feel about itlv Sometimes, after hearing all the facts, I advise the making of the More often, I.urge that the contemplated atep be at least delayed until the has made more of a mark where he is. Take New York. New York is big with opportunity tor youngish men, who have demonstrated their ability to pull ahead of the rank 'and tile of workers in their line.

Such men usually find ways and means of mak flng a desiraWe connection before they pull up stakes and migrate to the big city. (Don't ask me hW they do It The person who hasn't enough resourcefulness to accomplish this cannot be neipea much py anyone else.) New York and other large cities. however, are not. to my mind particular attractive; to young mfen. or women who have not been able to make distinctly unusual progress' in their home on the average it.

is easier for a young man or woman to make some thing of a mark In a smaller town than in a. metropolitan city, "where tna competition is eo very much greater. Therefore it is usually better for the person who Is filling only an or A dinary position not to incur the risk involved In moving into a teeming city. Let him or her first demonstrate his or her ability to climb distinctly above the crowd. From my experience and obser vation, I should say that persons earning ordinary; salaries or wages can get more out of life and Ijve more comfortably, In smaller places than in New York or any other big city, where rents are terrifically high, food and clothing are relatively dear and amusements are extremely costly.

This item of amusements may seem unimportant, but those who move into New York nearly always compiaan most bitterly over it. For example, the other, day, I had lunch on board a liner in. New York harbor and the Chief Engineer told me that he had had not set foot on shore either on the previous voyage or on his present trip, mainly for the reason that he and other sea fearing men felt that they were robbed every time they sought amusement or dined out in the city. 1 What about those who have earned rather; notable success elsewhere? Should they embrace opportunity to migrate to thejbig city? Take, eay. a business executive or a bank officer who has reached a high position at home and who receives an offer of a good deal higher pay from a big city.

Whether he largely on what his main object in life is, on what is his philosophy of If a man's object is to get ae much comfort out of life as possible, and if his wife alsc believes that a tran. qutl, unharrassed life is the best, then it is safer to stay where they are and continue to enjoy all the inings wnich normally accompany success in a small community or a community of moderate, size. Such a man and his wife. and family can live a very pleasant llfo, enjoying a rational number'of luxuries, a great many friends, considerable prestige, and can watch over the bringing up of their children more closely than they could in the metropolis. On the other hand, If a man has tremendous ambition, and eagerly aspires to do bigger and still bigger things, and is quite prepared to "sac rifice to whatever extent may.

be necessary his personal comfort and domestic life, then he Is likely fo hesitate a little to 'seize the first reasonable chance he has to invade the big city. If he puts fame above family life, if he rates wealth above scrupulous regard for his physical weJlbelng, he is probably fitted to piay tne game successfully in the larger arena. Or, again, a man who has reached the top in his own community may feel it hla duty to embrace an offer to move to the big city to take hold of some position of greater responsibility, and influence. His consuming ambition may be to put into the world the best that le in him, and he may not worry very much about getting all that he possibly can out of the world. His main aim may be to serve rather than be served.

Then the bigger place in the big ger city is the logical sphere for such a man, for onr largest cities dircly neea tne iniusion 01 such stalwarts. Let no smaller town citizen, wthether young man or executive, Imagine that the majority of those big city giants who have attained national prominence have led easy, leisurely lives. The, price' has to be paid for conspicuous success. And the price nearly always Is very stiff. buch men as President Grace, of Bethlehem Steel; Thomas W.
