first trip into his district. He LEFT
here expecting to speak today at q
farmers meeting at clarksburg, and
TO go on from there to Upshur coun,
ty, where a primary election will be
held June 8. Hitherto unopposed,
since the announcement OF Captain
Avis's candidacy, the contest in the
Third district seems to have as
sumed an important aspect. And
While Mr.. Gaines APPARENTLY is not
alarmed over the outlook. it looks
as though he would have quite a
fight on his hands. He has had
word that the county committee OF
Pocahontas county has called a pri;
mary election for that county on
June "a.

Will Leave Beverly Today for Wash

at ChurCh--SeCret Service Men
Glad the Vacation Is Over.

Mr. Taft's departure tomorrow will
bring to an end long season for the
eight Secret Service men who have been
assigned to the summer capital Their
vigilance has never laxed, although the
task required days and nights of sentry
duty at the cottage and thousands of
miles of motor riding in following the
President over half of New England. The
Secret Service car always trailed and
always seemed to be tied to its leader by
some invisible rope that hauled it over
hill and dale through binding dust and
ying mud without a skip. 1t was a we'll
tanned. wind-blown little company that
packed up their belongings today to go
back to something like indor life for the
winter
In his speech at church today, Mr.. Taft
said
Il should be most reluctant to break
into the regular course this morning if
it did not give me the opportunity on be-
half of Mrs. Taft and myself to express
the gratitude we feel at having had the
privilege of worshipping with you dur
ing this beautiful summer season in a
church so full of history, with such a
wealth of usefulness in the last 200 years.
1t is a church that illustrates i'm it's his
tory the growth of liberalism in religion.
and the development of the orthodox ten
cts of those who came here to make the
beginnings of New England into our
faith of Unitarianism.''
The President then paid tribute to
DR.. Benjamin r. BullSley, pastor of the
church, and concluded:
Il hope vel mean my family and my
self-are going to be able next summer

Mrs Taft, her sister, Mrs. Thomas

Mr. Taft has thoroughly enjoyed his

taken on some weight during the last

Today at the Unitarian church the
President was called upon to make
few remarks. What he said was en-
tirely informal, but he took occasion
to indicate that he intended to remain
summer resident of the North shore
so long as he is President.
The Presidents recreation during
the summer has consisted principally
of golf and motoring. He has missed
but few daVS from the Mvopia links
and every afternoon has found him
comfortably seated in the tonneau of
one of the White House cars and off

bountitu| Crops Encour-
age Market Dealings.
Prospect Of New Capital Awak-
ems Speculation.
Money Scarce but Condition Is Only
Temporary.

New York. Oct. 16.-The government
crop report last week proved to be of
potent effect in crystalzing the specu-
lative confidence which had been in
course of slow restoration for many
days preceding. An assured crop of
more than 3.000,000,000 bushels of
corn, an improvement in spring wheat
condition sufficient to bring the est-
mate of the final total crop to less
than 100000 bushels below 100000
600 bushels, a record oat crop of over
1000 100000 bushels and worlds re-
quirements for cotton sufficient to in
sure highly profitable marketing of
the total available supply-this list
made such imposing evidence of the
years enormous increment of wealth
for the country as to encourage mar
ket operations on an assumption of
restored values and early correction of
the ills complained of.
From the prompt marketing of
these bountiful harvests, there is ex-
pected to follow an extensive scaling
down of credits which We're the occa-
sion for solicitude during most of the
present year.
The creation of new capital sup
plies should afford replenishment in
the market and further revival of
that investment demand on which en-
terprise and fresh industrial expansion
are waiting. This assured prospect of
new capital supplies coming to meet
the measures of retrenchment and
economy which have been in force for
many months. through all channels of
the financial fabric. appealed so
strongly to the spirit of hope that the
speculative spirit was quick to awak-
en- in the stock market after it's pro-
longed lethargy.
The narrow and diminishing re-
sources of the immediate money sup
plies were ignored in the longer view
of favorable conditions expected to
follow the temporary restriction of
banking credits.
The advance in call loan rates prov
ed attractive to other lenders than the
clearing house banks. and the scaling
down of the credits of those institu-
tions proceeded with the further drafts
on their cash holdings. Some relief
was thus afforded to the showing of
the banks, but none to the real credit
position.
The withdrawal of cash from the
