FORBES Noted Financial Authority Editor of Forbes' Magazine WALL ST. NOW KNOWN BETTER; CHANGED A TRAVELER NOTES Stray Impressions gathered on a 10,000 mile tour over the United States and beyond: Wall Street is not loved, but it is not bated half so much as it used to be. This is because its functions are becoming belter understood.

Only the unusually ignorant now look upon Wail Street as nothing more or less than a huse Monte Carlo, a place for gamblers only, a cesspool of financial iniquity. More people throughout the country now recognize that Wall Stieet is a giprantic market ace, the highest market place in America, a place that trie country could not well get along without. The newspapers deserve most credit for spreading the education which has brought about this desirable change. The better class papers all over the country now devote generous space to the daily happenings in 1'ork's financial works. In the small towns, where the newspapers are less comprehensive, many business men now read financial and business periodicals.

The New York Stock Exchange itself has contributed in recent years, by sending en; r.i!p. i. A a matter of fact. President Simmons, of the New York Stock Exchange, is delivering illuminating talks at present on the Pacific coast. Country bankers likewise have been a helpful Influence.

Twenty years you could travel across 1 he continent and from Canada to Mexico and only a few people, bankers and responsible business men, would exhibit keen interest in the stock market or in otner financial activities in Kcw York. Today you cannot enter even the most modest community without being questioned repeatedly on such matlers. I make an effort when travelling to get into intimate conversation with as many working class people as possible. I find that manv of thoin "ow interested in stocks and bonds, particularly stocks. Incidentally, I rather think the popular csi.nate i'tto COO.OOO investors in the United St stes is a gross exaggeration.

Even 10, 000,000 would seem to be a very liberal guess. That would mean, roughly, that two of every five fami lies in the land have one member The more I see of the improvement whiuh has pla.e in living conditions throughout the United States, the more convinced I become that prohibition has been responsible to a degree not generally recognized. We have been hearing much of the greater efficiency of A men an workers. My own opinion is tliat prohibition has contributed very substantially to bringing this about. Employers you that, whereas their forces were regularly more or less depleted following pay clay when saloons were rife, this condition no longer rules.

You find just as attractive schools in communities of 10,000 as you find in the largest cities, Indeed, there are. some structures in the Far West and in the South which are distinctly more beautiful than any in, for example, New York.

The eagerness of parents to give their children the benet't of ample education is reflected, also, by the imp dcedontod number of youths, both men and women, who are crowding Into ccllcges and universities.

The establishment of new 1926 high prices by United States Treasury obligations and a well sustained demand for other investment issues in response to a further relaxation of money rates marked the resumption of the upward movement In the bond market today.

Trading was slightly less active but the trend of prices was more uniform than in recent sessions. Government bonds quickly responded to the easing of money conditions as time funds were reported available below the rates generally quoted In the market. The treasury 3's, 4's i all moved up to the best prices of the year. Foreign obligations were active and firm, but interest In this division centered more on new financing than the changes of listed A 000,000 issue of 30 year 6'i per cent bonds for the Berlin Electric Elevated and Underground Railways comnanv will be offered tomorrow and negotiations are in progress for several other small foreign loans. Widespread interest was aroused by reports that a large debenture bond issue for the Standard Oil company of New Jersey might be brought into the market next week as part of a $200,000,000 financial operation to retire the preferred stock.

More than $100,000,000 of debentures are expected in addition to a large offering of common stock. Railroad liens continued to forge aheadlin response to the announcement of record breaking car loadings for the last week in October, with fractional gains recorded by a long list of investment and semi speculative issues. Texarkana and Fort Smith jumped more than a point to a new high. Liquid Carbonic 6's and Granby Mining 7's were the strongest features of the industrial group. Public offering will be made to morro wof $10,000,000 Youngstown Sheet Tube company 20 year 6 per cent debentures at a price of 103.

CURB MARKET NEW YORK, Nov. 11 Major activity in today's Curb market was on the upside, but weak spots again cropped out in several sections of the list. Buying operations appeared to be of a more confident character, particularly in the oils and public uumies, ami uie cases reflected an absence ot bids rather than a pressure to sell. Revival of reports of an early re tirement of Standard Oil of New Jersey preferred, coupled with rumor of special dividend distributions in other issues, stimulated the demana for the oil shares. South American Issues were in most demand, wilh new highs on the current upswing recorded by American Maracal bo, Carib Syndicate and Venezuela Petroleum.

Buying of American Maracaibo was influenced by the reported discovery ot a jiew well on adjacent property by the Standard Oil company of California. Revival of activity in Fox Theatre which rallied from 23 to 25, was one of the features of the industrial section. New 152G peak prices were again recorded by American Seating, Continental Tobacco, Estey Welte A. Home Insurance company and Proctor Gamble preferred. 'Philip Morris duplicated the year's, high.

On the other hand, Ford of Canada broke over 20 points on odd lot sales to 32(5, or less than half the year's high. Trading was inaugurated today in National Food Products corporation, a holding company for chair store stocks such us Borden's, James Butler, Pavld Pender, United States Stores, H. C. Bohack and others, with properties extending from New England to the southeastern Atlantic ftates and out to the Middle West. There are 75,000 shares of Class A stock and 500,000 shares of Class both no par of which 350,000 shares of Class are reserved against purchase warrants.

Speculative interest in the public utilities was confined largely to the low and medium priced issues, with a 2 point gain in Electric Investors as one of the, few features. COTTOX MAKKET NEW YORK, Nov. 11. The cotton rfiarket was quiet but generally steady in today's early trading. Liverpool cables were better than due, and the cold wave in the south was regarded as settling any question of further crop development, but these features failed to create much buying Interest.

First prices were 1 to 3 points higher and active months worked about 3 to 7 points net higher, January selling at 12.42. Demand was supplied by realizing, combined with a little southern selling, however, and the market held within a range of 4 or 5 points during the first hour. Private cables reported trade canning with some local and London buy ing and Liverpool market also an extensive inquiry for cotton clothes from India, although a majority of the offers were unworkable. The market remained very quiet during the late forenoon. Some realizing and southern hedging was absorbed by covering or trade buying and prices showed very little change.

January wts selling around 12.41c at midday, about 2 to 3 points net higher. Reported prospects for an Immediate settlement of the British coal strike failed to stimulate business, and trading remained quiet during the early afternoon.
