THE EXEMPTION

From the Manufacturers, Record.

From the Manufacturers Record.
 The Manufacturers Record has often commended the movement made in some southern states to exempt new manufac- turing enterprises from taxation for ten years as a material aid in developing the industrial interests of the state. A few weeks ago the question was raised in let ter to the editor of the Manufacturers Record as to the constitutionality of such acts. One of the largest cotton-mill com panies in New England has been invesl- gating the south with a view to deciding on a desirable location, and the gentle man having the matter in charge wrote to the Manufacturers Record as follows
 Since I had the pleasure of seeing you l preached the subject of the Alabama ex- emption law to an eminent lawyer in New York interested in southern railroads and enterprises, and he expressed it as being his opinion that the state of Alabama had no constitutional provision authorizing such an exemption. However, he had not looked it up, but he believes that 1t will soon be discovered that the matter is i'll gal and after a number of industries have been lured into the state by the tempting propo- sition for ten years free taxes that they will be taxed just like everybody else. He stated to me that a number of years ago the state of Mississippi passed similar law exempting new railroads from taxation

PASSED OVER

New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Abner Mckinley, the presidents brother, has, according to well-founded rumor been turned down by the Union League club. His application certificate, which was filed two months ago, was regularly signed by two members, sponsor and a seconder. When Abner's name came up for considera- tion by the membership committee it was passed over" It was not rejected; it was simply ignored The two gentlemen who presented his name withdrew it short time afterward, after consultation, 1t is said, with Mr. Mckinley. Of course, none of the members of the select organization will discuss the interesting subject, but it is generally understood that Abners name was withdrawn to prevent it being re- jccted at the next meeting of the member ship committee. Brother Abner,'' as he is familiarly known here, lives at the Windsor hotel. He has a law office in Broad street and at present is enjoying a lucrative prac-
 tice.

on the stock market this week. On at least two days the total trading on the stock ex
 change fell to less than 150.000 shares, and throughout the week the public has been absent The disposition on all sides is to wait for the elections and the outcome of the foreign complications The rise of the European money markets have led to some selling by London in our market. In spite of the dullness, the waiting and the un- favorable and disturbing outlook abroad, prices have not declined save in a few spe- cial cases and the undertone of the market was strong. The public is not selling, even if it will not buy securities at present, and holders seem to be encouraged by the ease of money, the satisfactory railroad earn ings and the heavy export purchase of our breadstuffs The professional short interest has consequently been forced to cover from time to time, and the market as a whole displayed greater readiness to advance than to sell off. Bonds have been dull, but firm, though the demand for governments and the advance of new 3 per cent. war bonds was among the new features of the week. The abundance of capital for invest ment is shown by the large buying of bills of foreign exchange that is now in progress.

Immune Regiments Inspected

Washington October N-The board se- lected to select five regiments of immunes has returned to Washington and made it's report. It consisted of Lieutenant Colonel M. P. Haus, inspector-general; Major W. H. Daily, surgeon, and Captain J. P. Nor ton, assistant adjutant-general. The regi- ments inspected were the Fourth, Sixth
 Seventh, Eighth and Tenth United States Volunteer infantry. These regiments were examined as to their fitness for service. Each officer was examined theoretically and practically. Each regiment was drilled and inspected with and without arms. The troops were also examined by the surgeon as to the condition of their health. The books, papers, etc., were examined by Cap tain Morton. The report is to the effect that the regiments were found in gener- ally good condition. Two of them have since been sent to Cuba and Porto Rico.
