STOCK MARKET
GAINS STRENGTH
Presidents Forthcoming Ad-

BANKS ELECT OFFICERS

Based on reports concerning the favor
able attitude possessed by the President
toward the business interests Of the
country, which will be reflected in the
Forthcoming address to Congress, the
New York stock market yesterday closed
with sharp advances.
The sale of 1000 steel by floor trader,
recently active on the up side, acted as
a damper upon carly dealings. No par
ticular weakness developed, and prices
zigzagged along indifferently.
Can stocks crept up quietly. Good
buying was noted in the preferred. and
for long time the common shares were
stronger than the general list. An early
announcement is looked for regarding =
compromise with government officials on
pending suits. Such news would prob
ably be followed by the payment Of the
past due dividends on the preferred and
the fulfillment of the promise made that
this would be succeeded by a placing OF
the common stock on a dividend basis.
Earnings during 1918 justify such action.
Erie issues were strong on rumors that
the first preferred will receive a divi-
dend. The buying Of 5000 shares of the
common carried the price up a point.
Coal stocks were strong. Reading
gained two points and Lehigh Valley
jumped from Isl SIS to 14S 1-2, on the best
kind of buying. All the leaders were ac-
lively strong as the day ended. Southern
Pacific touched SO, a new high for this
move; Union Pacific 15S 3-S, and Amalga-
mated Copper rose from Y to 70 1-2, with
no improvement in the copper trade.
Beet Sugar Active.
Raat Supar Was active on dividend re-
ports. Rock Island rose a point or more.
The common sold at Is and the preferred
at 2S1-2, an advance of over points
from the figures at the close Of the
year.
Bond sales exceeded Tuesdays large
total with no slackening in the demand
and a continual widening OF public in
terest.
United States Steel IS sold at 1o2 and
Rock Island collateral Is continued firm,
crossing 50 Erie general As and Erie
convertible As, were active at advancing
prices. The tone of the bond market
is excellent, and gives indication of de-
cisive improvement in the inquiry from
investors.
Dealings become dull, but prices do not
Tecede. Here and there may be noted
the reawakening Of interests that have
been dormant for months
American Can in the sos has not antici-
pated a dividend, and Erie at ruling fig
ures does not reflect the prosperity
shown by last years earnings.

Col. Edward B. Smith. for 20

This story is told by Mr.. Smith of

A TIME TO GIVE THANKS.

1t would be Christening and bene-
ficial experience for the critics of Pres
dent Wilson'S Mexican policy to sit down
and go over their criticisms of few
weeks since. Where would the world be
if the United States and Mexico were
at war today?
At this moment all mankind turns to
the United States. Never before in the
history of the race has people faced
such responsibility. With the Six Great
Powers of Europe already at war or
trembling on the verge, this nation is
the center of the worlds hopes. The
great ships of the Seven Seas seek
asylum in our harbors; naturally our
Government was being urged to make
war on Mexico.
Now, instead of being denounced and
ridiculed for his "watchful waiting" pol
icy, the President is commended warm
ly everywhere for not having embroiled
the United States in war. This revul-
sion of feeling is attributable directly
to the war in Europe, when the United
States stands forth as the one great
power in the world at peace with all ma
tions. Our unique position at this time
meets with hearty approval all over the
United States. Boston Globe (Rep.)

THE WILSON WAY.

By conceding that the voluntary with

dependent press of the country undoubt-

In view of senator Penrose's theory
of the complete prostration of industry
in Pennsylvania, how does he explain
the fact that the building operations
authorized in Philadelphia during July
exceeded in value those of any previous
July in the past ten years? This clearly
shows that under Democratic admin
istration there is greater activity in the
building trades than in the halcyon days
of Roosevelt and Taft.

Mr.. Leckenby served as mayor Of
Steamboat Springs when he was the

has served for six years as clerk OF
the District Court and has filled many
other positions with credit. He has
served two terms as President OF the
Democratic Editorial Association. Two
years ago he was a candidate In the
primary for the same position to
which he now aspires, but failing Of
nomination he was called into the
campaign as secretary OF the Demo

rendered faithful and efficient aid
to his party. He still holds this re-

last month he received 634 votes for
Auditor of State, as against 1913 for
NJ. A. Leddy and 1873 for T. d. Foster.
