IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES
fThe Barron Service !

New York. Jan g The rapid resale to investors Of the s5l, 100000 New ork state bonds awarded to the Kuhn, Loeb-Read & Co. syndicate |Hlas created a great deal of optim- ism in financial circles, which In part was reflected in the buoyant tone of the stock market. The anxiety Of the investing public to participate in the issue is conclusive evidence that it's recent tirnidity has given way to a feeling of renewed confidence in the security outlook Railroad and in-. dustria1 enterprises contemplating new financing in the near future are en- couraged by this deve1opme The profit of the syndicate on the state sale is said to have been $500 1000,
 Three Stock Exchange seats have re-. gently changed hands at $50.0o0. which is an advance of $1S.o00 from the low est price of 1913. This S7 per cent. gain in the cost Of membership is a fair gauge of the improvement that has taken place in the volume of Stock Exchange business since the low price was recorded. For several months the cost of seats has been rising grad ually, and if business continues to hold up to it's present rate no one

will be surprised to hear of seats gc- ing at very much higher figures. | Reductions in salaries in addition to various operating economies will save the Distillers' Securities more than $100,oO0 in the current year.

 It is ru1nored that the American Agricultural Chemical Go. is planning to withdraw from Connecticut and re- incorporate under Massachusetts state laws. Such a. step would put the Ecompany'sf $45, ,0o0, 900 preferred and common stocks in the tax exempt class and Massachusetts investors would doubtless encouragae the move Since the collapse of some of the hitherto high grade investment propositions, such as New Haven, Boston Elevated, stocks of assured safety has become quite pronounced.
 By virtue of his appointive power President Wilson assumes a highly important role in the five per cent. freight increase question. There are at present but five members of the Interstate Camnerce Conannfssion, which will decide on the petition for an advance. Three are said to favor the advance, and two are believed tO D0s OQpOSoQ 10 IL. -InS ET0S1OenE will appoint two. new members, one to succeed MT. Marble deceased, and one to fill the place left vacant by MT. Prouty, who is now engaged in the dfrection4 of physical valuation work. If the commission is divided, as is believed to be the case, the bal ance of power In the decision will rest with the two men appointed The importance of the question requires. that a decision be rendered by the full board, instead of by the five members now acting. The verdict will prob ably not be learned until late in the spring.

GERMAN STATEMENTS
NOT VIA SAYVILLE
Navy Censors Deny Long Re
ports To Embassy Came
BY Wireless.

Washington. Sept. s.-since the re-
ceipt by the German embassy on
August IL OF a dispatch from Berlin
ordering the embassy ito make facts
public to Offset the alleged campaign OF
misinformation conducted by the ene-
mics of Germany" long statements
have emanated almost daily from the
embassy, purporting to be advices just
received from Germany via the Say
vile, l.. l., wireless station.
Now from the censors OF the navy
department comes the official report
that the wireless at Sayville has re-
ceived only a few messages from Ger
many since the outbreak of the war.
These messages were not the long de-
tailed accounts given out by the EN-
bassy but messages of from five to
20 words.
The censors report that communi-
cation has been very difficult, and most
Of them have been received late at
night during the cool weather oil the
last week, VIXEN conditions for trans
mission have been favorable. The Saw
Vile station has been able to keep in
communication with the German coast
only spasmodicaIly.
Of1cial Waship gton does not pretend
to know where the embassy gets its
Berlin information, but the censors
at Sayville, established to maintain the
neutrality OF the United states, are
positive that the official advices"
given the American press by the en-
bassy as coming from Sayvflle are
very different from the messages that
have actually come through the wire
less station.

Pierre, s.. d., Sept. 9.-That the vote
for governor over the whole state. and
not by individual counties, Is TO con-
troll the location of the party ticket
upon the ballot, is the holding or At
torney General Johnson, on Inquiry
from Edmunds county. Chapter 1873,
laws OF 1913, fixes the location OF the
ticket by placing al the left OF the ball
lot the ticket OF the party which re-
ceived the greatest number OF votes at
the last preceding general election. APP
parently some of the auditors look
upon this as meaning the individual
county vote, which Is held TO be wrong,
such vote to be disregarded and the
vote OF the whole state to rule.
On inquiry from DIR. IT.. M. Rock,
chairman OF the democratic state COM
mittee, IL is held that in case Of the
acancy on the state ticket of that
party through the withdrawal of their
candidate for railway commissioner, it
is the province Of the state committee
TO select "a candidate to I'LL this vacancy
and that in such action no formal
method is hxed. leaving it to them to
act in any manner they see At, either
through a regularly called meeting or
by members OF the committee.

Fort Madison, Ia, Sept. TAT the
meeting OF the Iowa Methodist o.
ference here yesterday the first incl
dent to mar the smooth progress was
reported. When the roll was called
the Rev, T. X. Holiday Of Pennington
failed to respond. Inquiry revealed the
fact that the absentee had suffered a
serious misbap by stepping into an
open cellerway, with the consequent re-
suits Of a severely sprained left shoul-
der, the tearing OF the left collar bone
from the shoulder blade and many
minor bruises, necessitating several
weeks confinement.
At the home where he was being en-
tertained he had stepped out Of a rear
door to throw out a handful OF peach
seeds and plunged headlong into the
stairway directly in his path. A boy
at the house had gone down IN the
cellar leaving the door open and when
he learned of the accident he suffered a
severe nervous shock and required

WILSON WILL NOT
LEAVE HIS DUTIES
President Declares His Inten-
ton To Not Make Cam
paign Speeches.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 8.-Presi-
dent Wilson announced To-Day he would
not make a speaking tour during the
coming campaign. He declared his in
tention OF staying on the job" because
Of the unlocked for international sit
uation." The president made known
his intentions in a letter to Representa-
tive Doremus, OF Michigan, chairman
Of the democratic congressional conn
mittee. who bad written him asking
whether he would make a speaking
campaign this fall. The correspondence
was made public at the White House
today.
America is greater than any party"
the president wrote. America cannot
properly be served by any man who for
n moment measures his interest against
her advantage. The time has come for
great things. These are days big for
destiny for the United States, as for the
other nations or the world. A little wis
dom, a little courage, a little self for
getful devotion may, under God, turn
that destiny this way or that. Great
hearts, great natures will respond. Even
little men will rejoice to be stimulated
and guided and set an heroic example.
Parties will fare well enough without
nursing IL the men who make them up
and the men who lead them forget
themselves to serve a cause and set a
great people forward on the path of
liberty and peace"
Despite his determination to make no
speeches, Mr.. Wilson will take cca
sion, as opportunity offers, to state and
perhaps restate TO the country I'm the
clearest and most convincing terms /
can command the things which the
democratic party has attempted to do"
The president asked that congress
remain to do it's work OF necessary and
pressing service and bring 1t to a sue
cessful conclusion" He said, however,
that he saw nothing to keep congress
in session after the emergency work
was finished. The president had been
asked TO speak in Iowa, Pennsylvania,
previously told those who asked him
that he would make no promises until
he saw what the general situation was.

AGRoNoMIsT GIVES ADVICE
ON HANDLING ALFALFA SEED

Brookings. s. ID, Sept. 9.--"AlfaIfa
should be cut for seed after the seeds
are well formed and when the pods be-
gin Z turn brown, but before they have
become so ripe as to shatter." This
suggestion was sent to a Kingsbury
county inquirer by DR.. A. N. Hume,
agronomist at state college, who said
further: In cutting alfalfa for seed,
if.you do the work with a mower II
Is a good plan to have a buncher att
tachment. Such an attachment viii
avoid the necessity OF raking in wind
rows. Raling causes IL to shatteF. AL

pose, being usually necessary to run
the alfalfa through more than ono
