Votes in The Washington Herald's
s25,0 900 contest are pouring into The Ad-
vocate's office In daily increasing num-
bers. Thousands have already been re-
ceived, and the contest has only started.
Every day scores Of contestants call
at The Advocates ONCE to leave votes
and to exchapge labels. wrappers. trade
marks, bottle caps, box tops. and cartons
of products advertised In the contest.
The votes due the various competitors
are recorded by one of The Advocates
assistants.
The staff of contest employees is being
kept busy day and night on account
of the gigantic proportions of the COM
petition. Some are employed counting
the mediums OF exchange and recording
votes, others have charge Of the cor
respondence, others conduct the adver-
Using end of the proposition. and still
others distribute votes among the va
rious retail merchants entered In the
contest.
The Advocate was besieged yesterday
with many inquiries concerning the COM
petition. His telephone was kept ring
ing from early in the morning until we'll
after 10 o'clock last night. Many OF the
contestants read in. The Herald yester-
day morning the story OF how two boy
competitors secured large numbers OF Ice
cream cartons. Most of these contestants
could not understand how the youngsters
obtained the cartoons at drug stores. as
they are naturally taken away by pa
irons when purchases of ice cream are
made. The Advocate told them that the
matter was not made perfectly clear in
the paper. and proceeded to eniighten
them.

for these two enterprising youngsters to

II am really astonished at the large

range of older contestants. but their

The Advocate is now devoting much Of

The general character of building con-

proved. according to the annual report
Of Building Inspector Morris Hacker.
Two million dollars more were expended
in building operations this year than

accounted for by the permit issued for

Building operations for the past year
amounted to s1s.72 1S3, as, csghpared with

STOCK MARKET
CONTINUES WEAK
Professional Rally Results Only In
a Few Net Gains-Trading
Very Light.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE DR.
DROPS

New York, Sept. 12.-Stocks declined
still further to-day. but in the last hour
q professional rally closed them mate
rally above the lowest prices. But even
at that. only a few net gains were re-
corded. Owing to the Jewish holiday,
trading was on a light scale, and business
with London was almost nothing. Foreign
exchange declined forty points and 1t
was this movement of exchange that ex-
cited the rally, for professionals began
talking of gold imports. Some of the
biggest bankers are of the opinion that
gold imports are not needed now, be-
cause there is no crisis. They say, how
ever. that the American position is SO
strong by reason OF the absence of spec
ulation. and the real growth of business,
with heavy exports under way, that gold
can be forced from Europe at any time
II is needed. The movement Of exchange
just now means that European bankers
are preparing credits against exports
from America.
Receivership for the United States MO-
tor Company had no influence on the
market, because It was generally expect
ed. The many prominent bankers iden-
titled with the unfortunate fioatation are
upset by the development. They admit
that they have made a serious mistake,
but protest that it was made innocently.-
Their past records certainly eptitle them
to the benefit of any doubt, especially
as all doubts will be dispelled in the
near future when thesofflcial records are
made public.
Leading Issues Decline.
The concentration of pressure on few
issues. notably Reading and Lehigh VAL
ley. Union Pacific, Great Northern pre-
ferred and copper metal group, United
States Steel and American Can appeared
to indicate professional attacks in direc-
tons where a weakly margined long ac-
count might possibly be uncovered but
the whole market moved downward and
before the beginning Of the last hour
declines from last nights close averaged
in the neighborhood of a point for lead
ing issues. Some weakness developed in
the local traction and various industrial
specialties, but there was no specific news
