POLITICS WILL NOW GIVE
 BUSINESS A CHANCE
BY PRESTO c. ADAMS

New York, November 12.-(special)- Now that politics is out of the way for awhile it is probable that business will get down to it's bearings and not only Wall street but the country at large will go ahead now in a healthy prosperous course. This is the opinion generally held by the men who make business.
 It Is probable that the railroads will hold off for awhile yet until the Inter- ztata- Corpmerce- CemmissiaR has decided the question of rates and the supreme court of the United States has finally continued the antitrust laws.
 There is no doubt that the railroads have been holding back orders for equip ments. until they are dangerously near the point where they will not be able to properly handle their business.
 The small volume of orders for rail- road equipment in October has been one of the prominent features of the month. Never were orders for cars, locomotives and other railroad equipment and supplies so small During the first quarter of 1910 contracts were placed for 1051 locomotives, 53,O0O cars and 627 GOO tons of rails. During the second quarter orders for locomotives dropped to SIP, of cars to 1o,954 and of rails to 900 tons. During October orders for loco motives were about 50; of cars little more than a thousand and of rails only 5000 tons, including export business; this foreign business was about half of the tonnage and should be deducted.
 Of fabricated structural steel railroad pdrchases have been on little more lib- eral scale, such orders including termi- nals and shop extensions as well as bridges. These are quite liberal during the second quarter of the year. Tc date contracts for all kinds of fabricated structural steel placed by all interests have aggregated 1,07s,000 tons. of whict

A Dubious Treat

railroads placed contracts calling for about 35OOOO tons.
 A comparison of railroad contracts placed in 1910 with previous years will show even more strikingly the paucity of railroad contracts during this year.
 Bankers and exporters who are inter- ested in the cotton bills of lading ques- ton are practically of unanimous opinion that English bankers will not renew their demands for guarantees after December 91. It is understood that not only do the southern cotton men look with displeasure on the guarantee plan but that the Liverpool cotton association has expressed it's unequivocal disap- proval of such arrangements
 The new cotton bill of lading recently enacted in Texas at the special session oe the legislature is now in effect. With it and a strict observance of the rules regulating the issuances of valldation certificates by the railroads, local bankers believe ample safeguards against fraud have put them into operation to satisfy the British and Continental bankers and they do not expect any difficulties in the near future. In the financial district the whole cotton bill controversy Is now regarded as a dead issue.
 New financing during October was the lightest in years. The railroads did practically nothing, the total output of bonds, notes and stocks being only SIP, 800 900, or fully $50,OO0,O00 less than in October last year. Industrial corpora tions raised $35 500 0O0 or &, ,500 GOO less than year ago, last months total being swelled by $15,OOO,OOO notes issued by the General Motors company. The grand total for all corporations during the month was only $4S,O00,oO0 entrusted with 10z5OOO0O in 1909, a decrease of 59,- 5e0,000. This shrinkage brings the aggre- gate for the current year $32, 800 below that for the first 10 months of 1909 The grand total for 1910 has been $1, ,291 o00, 600 of which railroads supplied almost 77S,-

Sydenham tried to prove that his daughter had, without his knowledge, made a bargain with the servant and given the ticket to her upon condition that, if she won the chief prize, she should receive G500 in lieu of the prize. The daughters evidence was not allowed, however, and the decision against Sydenham was upheld by the House of Lords.
