MORE GAINS MADE
 BY SPECIAL STOCKS
Bethlehem Steel Rises Ten and
 General Motors Eleven Points

New York, Oct. 23.-Today's short session of the Stock Exchange gave promise of higher prices and in- creased activity, the opening showing general advances, with more high rec ords in the specialties. Chief among these were the motor shares and Baldwin Locomotive, the latter adding over five points to yesterdays maxi mum at 154 1-2. Some of the repre- sentative rails were higher. notably Canadian Pacific and United States Steel also manifested tendency to- ward betterment. In the second hour, however, heavy realizing, together with increased weakness in foreign exchange, soon obliterated most gains, some specialties falling well under yesterdays final prices. The closing was irregular. Bonds were firm.
 Wall St., 10:30 a. m.-Special stocks governed trading on the stock ex- change again today, with additions to recent high records, while rails and other former favorites were relatively dull but firm. Baldwin Locomotive rose 5 # to the new quotation of 154h one after some slight wavering at the outset. Maxwell Motors was 2 F high CT at 72k and U. S. Industrial Alcohol made a new minimum on its two point advance to 12S. Bethlehem Steel rose ten above yesterdays close at 5S5 and General Motors II at 3s1. Other is- sues of this group were higher by one

Voting on ths day will be confined to the election of six mem bers of the state senate and a full membership of 60 in the house. The campaign has been very quiet, no statewide issues heinz involved.

In fact the railroad outlook is bright CT than it has been for several years and the advances which have so far taken place in the better issues are more than justified. The better class of industrials must also share the conn., ing improvement, and attention is now being directed to specialties hitherto neglected Steel issues are leading in anticipation of business revival. While war contracts have been a very sumu- lating factor in the rise of many of the specialties, still the legitimate demand for iron and steel coming from a nat ural recovery in business will prove much more permanent. The railroads have been economizing severely for years. Already they are entering the market with larger orders for steel rails, equipment and other materials The steel industry is now unusually active. Prices are advancing and the rise in the better grade of securities in this class has also been amply justi- fled by recently improved conditions. A number of industrial shares are also benefitting by the foreign demand for their products arising from interrupt ed supplies abroad.
 War Still Factor.
 Thus far, the rise in stocks, other than the war group, has been fully warranted by general conditions, and particularly by the great abundance of loanable funds. Inflationary influ- ences have been quietly at work and have not yet apparently exhausted themselves At times reactionary tend encies appeared and the market is showing wider and more frequent ductations. It is not likely that the advance movement as a whole has reached its end, but profit taking and the liberal discounting of many condi- tions ended to temporarily unsettle the market. In the absence, however, of any stocks are likely to prove purchase on all pronounced reactions. The war is still a powerful factor in the situation and the end not yet in sight.

KENNEDY LOOKS
FOR LONG GRIND.
Congressman From First District Ex-
pects to be Busy With Prepared
ness Program This
Session.
GUARD BILL MAY PASS
Suffrage Question May be Given the
Vote Asain-Has Been Busy
With Rural Route Mail
Changes.
GUARD BILL MAY PASS

That the coming session of congress
probably will be long and strenuous
one is the opinion Of Charles A. Ken
nedy. congressman from the first dis
trict, who was in Keokuk today. Mr..
Kennedy will leave for Washington
On Wednesday. The preparedness
measures will take up much OF the
time OF the coming congress- and Mr..
Kennedy expects that suffrage meas
ures may also come up.
AS to the preparedness program,
Congressman Kennedy believes that
the National Guard bill may be pass
ed. The other measures which the
president Is said to be planning, such
as the continental army and the like
are all rather vague so far. The
main objection to the continental
army scheme is that 1t seems hard
enough now to keep the militia regi-
ments up to full strength.
AS to the various parts Of the presi-
dents program no one can predict
what w'll happen, because the whole
program is still rather vague, and will
not be made public until the message
IS ready. In any event, however, Mr..
Kennedy sees plenty of hard work
!ahead of this congress.
