is contended that when it came to selling

REPUBLICAN ROW
IN MARENGO COUNTY

Linden, June -(Special.)-The repub-
licans of Marengo met here today at the
county courthouse and rather lively
session resulted. with the regular county
organization holding It's own against an
attack led by Mobile negro, F. Ii.
Threet.
1t seems that the republican county
convention was held on May p when
delegates were elected to the state and
district conventions. but 1t appears that
the delegates elected and policies recon-
mended were not in accordance with the
wishes of certain parties in Mobile. so F.
H Threet. who was at one time chairman
of the republican county organization OF
this county, issued a call for mass
meeting to be heli here at which meet
ing he proposed to elect delegates to con-
test the regular delegates to the state
convention.
The call was met by republicans from
all over the county, a great majority
wearing badges on which was printed

ty, Alabama"
The meeting was called to order by the
negro. Threet, who read the call which he
had issued. He had no sooner finished
reading than Lea Woodruff, chairman OF
the regulars, moved that n. r. Rhodes OF
Demopoiis be elected temporary chair
man of tine meeting and ]. S Scott, also
of Dernopolis. temporary secretary. The
vote on this question was almost unani-
nous in its favor. and the officers took
charge.
Lengthy resolutions were introduced by
various delegates denouncing In bitter
terms Mobile interference in Marengo
party affairs. the sentiment seeming to
be that Marengo was amply able to take
care of itself A resolution was finally
introduced ~ w. H. Iockett of Demop-
oils, which was as follows:

politics In Russellville is now beginning
to warm up. w. B. Douglass. one of
the most prominent business men in Rus
sellyiIle will be candidate for mayor.
1t Is a fact beyond a doubt that Fl. G.

himself for the third successive term.
Mr.. Sargent defeated three of the most
prominent citizens of this place at the
election held two years ago and viii!
make a fine showing for the office again.
No other candidates have yet spoken of
as being in the race but each election
finds several men who are willing tn
offer themselves to the service Of the
people of this city. Chief interest will
center in the race for mayor, as the

has the power to use the pension funds
for any purpose whatsoever, other than
for the pensioners" writes the governor
in reply to the inquiry. Some debased
politician or other party has grossly mis-
represented the facts to you. Under the
constitution and law of Alabama every
dollar appropriated for pensions must go
to the old soldiers. The present legisla-
ture largely increased the pension fund
In fact nearly doubled it-and from year
to year old soldiers have been paid their
pro rata. Any statement contrary to this
is a falsehood and designed to impose
upon the weakness of old age. On &C
count of the largely increased number of
pensioners, the pro rata naturally is
smaller. This is the only deficiency"

VALUE OF EXCHANGE SEATS
Fluctuate in Price Almost nS Much
as the Stocks I'm which
Brokers Deal.
By PRESTON G. ADAMS.

BY PRESTON C. ADAMS.
NEW YORK, June u-lSpecIal Dispatch
to The Bee )-Stock exchange seats vary In
value nearly as much as the securities the
brokers deal in. The price of seats is, IN
fact a pretty good barometer OF the con-
dltion OF the market. Last year with
brisk market seats sold for 81, VOO The last
sale recorded was S6OOO, which indicates
a pretty duh market. IL has been, In fact,
so duh that there has been hardly living
in it for a good many OF the brokers.
There are $50 New York stock exchange
houses OF these there are probably $50
sSI which to pay orrice expenses
their memberships and the capital en-
pioyed In the business, must earn at
least $4,000 year each. These are
houses OF small capital and low ex-
penses, transactlng for the most part bust
ness for other members at 81 to 1925 per
100 shares. Then do OF course, some bust
shares. Their commissions might average
1926 per 100 shares. To earn $4,000 a wear
each they would have TO do combined
gross business OF about Sa166 a day. which
at the commission averaging 625 DER I06
would mean l46,6 66 shares. Every share OF
STOCK reported on the tape as sold is also
oough a ana two commissions are repre-
sented' There are probably 100 shares
which, TO pay office expenses and make &
per cent on the capital invested, would have
20 earn $4,000 a year each, or a combined
gross business OF $4,000 a day, which ar
the same average commission of So Is per loo
shares, would mean 10000 shares of stock
bought ana sold, or SO,OO0 on the tape
Then there are probably 100 large houses
whose expenses are much larger who main
tain private wires and expensive offices.
and who wGlld have 10 earn an average OF
$4,000 year each to do ais well as the
smaller houses. Their commissions average
higher, inasmuch as they originate bust
ness outside. Their commissions would
not average $3.50 per 100 however rs
Iney give out great many orders at o.
per 100 shares to other members II
their average commission was $40 ner
100 shares, they would have to do. ali
together, about 1893 shares day. or tes. :
e66 shares, as 4 would appear on the tape.
70 earn their 100000 year each from com,
missions alone. So, In the three classes
named named are, $50 stock exchange houses
s wnich would have to do each day GAO 900
shares between them, or 800 900 shares Zone
way as the tape records the business. 10
make expenses and earn per cent on
their capital from commissions Thera
are 100 houses not accounted for. Some Of
Ihese are banking houses not wholly or
largely depending upon the stock exchange
easily classified. "''
FROM these calculations il appears that IL
brokers' depended chiefly upon commission
