SHOE MACHINERY TRUST.

St. Louis, June 7.-Dismissal of the federal suit against the United Shoe Machinery company today was re- fused by the federal district court. District Judge Trieber of Little Rock, who wrote the decision, declared that the matters which the company refers to in it's plea, such as cheapening manufacture of shoes, due to it's ma chine, are no reasons why it should evade the law.

The beet sugar industry is nearly always in the state of an invalid. Sometimes it's half-hopper; some- times the melon aphis; sometimes the cutworm; sometimes the garden web- worm; sometimes the army worm; three years ago it was the tariff; now it is 2 scarcity of labor.

It is universally recognized that bankers are conservative and not given to nasty conclusions, and this being true, there is much significance in the announcement which comes from authentic sources that the Bankers association of Arkansas is emphatically supporting amendment No. 12.

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

| Reports from Washington indicate |'that many Democrats at the national capital are inclined to believe that Justice Hughes would be stronger opponent of Woodrow Wilson than any other individual the Republicans could nominate. On the other hand, there is, it seems, a formidable min- ority which rigidly adheres to the be- lief that Colonel Roosevelt would be more dangerous opponent than the justice. But the outstanding feature of the situation, from all accounts, is that, as rule, Washington Democrats are so firmly convinced that the president will be reelected that they are indifferent to any action the Re publicans may take. Senator Swan son of Virginia, for instance is quoted as having said:
 "A good many Democrats appear to be worrying over the prospect of the nomination of Justice Hughes, the as sumption being that he is the only formidable candidate the Republicans could put forward. Another element seems equally 'timorous' lest the op- position name Roosevelt. My own view of the situation makes me think of an incident that happened in my section of the Old Dominion:
 "An old colored man went to the courthouse and secured a license to marry one Liza Brown. A little later he went back to the clerks office and told that official that he had made a mistake ill the ncme-that it was i Mandy Brown, a sister of Liza, whom he wanted to wed. The clerk told him that he could not change the name and would have to issue a new license and, incidentally, collect for the new document an additional dollar. Old Sam seemed perplexed at this un- welcomed news, and scratching his head, remarked: 'Mistah, you jes hold dis papah fo' a leetle while till l can go and fix dis thing up' He left, and 1 in an hour returned with this state ment:
 | Boss, jes hand me back dat papah you got, suh. Hit will do jes lak it is. Pse gone out and looked | them gals over an come to the con clusion dat dere ain't dollars wurth of difference betwiXt 'em.'"
 Another view, that of Senator 1 Bankhead of Alabama, who believes | that Hughes would be more difficult to defeat than Roosevelt, is thus pre- sented by the Washington correspon- dent of the Birmingham Age Herald.
 Some days ago, young reporter representing an Alabama newspaper, visited Washington. He asked the sen ator one morning to express an opin- ion as to whom the republicans would nominate.
 'It is all guesswork," replied the senator, "but I think Hughes will win the nomination"
 The young eporter-evidently of an argumentative turn of mind--was disappointed because the senator's opinion did not concide with his own.
 "But, senator" he rejoined, "do you not think that Roosevelt will be nomi- nated?"
 "I hope so," the senator replied without batting an eye. Because if we can't beat that---four- -flusher we can't beat anybody"

WEEKLY Y REVIE w OF TRADE

New York, Nov. I0.-Dun's weekly re-
View OF trade tomorrow will say:
All measures OF business reflect the
holiday interruption, and in some
branches an under current of hesitancy
Is manifest because Of the phenomenal
rise IN prices. Such instances remain the
exception. however, and In many cases
the rapidly advancing costs, with pros
poets of still higher levels, act as a
stimulus to even larger purchases. This
remarkable condition is strikingly appar-
ent In the leading industries, and the
unparalleled iron output last month was
particularly opportune in view of the
recent great expansion in new buying.
Production everywhere Is expected to les
sen as winter draws nearer and transpor-
tation difficulties are intensified, and the
fuel scarcity. which is due primarily to
car shortages, now affect operations at
plants where reserve supplies are not
available. Manufacturers in widely di-
vergent lines and sections, being hamper
ed in various ways, continue behind on
shipments and are increasingly reluctant
to commit themselves 10 definite dates
OF delivery, even when buyers are willing
to pay premiums to make provision for
distant requirements The discrepancy be-
tween the contracts offered and those ac-
tually closed is consequently widening.
and the depleted condition Of merchan-
disc stocks is becoming more pronounced
In wholesale and retail channels. Final
distribution is remarkably broad and act
i've. though in some quarters purchases
of seasonable apparel are held in check
by the weather"

Lead RECORD MARKET
More Than 100000 Shares Report
ed on Tape.

CBy the International News Service.)
New York, Nov. 10.-Wan Street had its
biggest day OF the campaign today. More
than a dozen new high records were
made and more than two million shares
of stock were reported on the tape. Half
a million more shares were unreported:
The old-fashioned Republicans fretted
their souls out. but the buoyant West
that elected Wilson and the unterri1ed
traders from Europe and South America
showed the street few things in specu-
lation.
This is the onI~ free market for securi-
ties in the whole world. and 1t Is domi-
mated by world events. The election
seems to be regarded as a purely local
incident. And, as stated frequently IN
this column. the bankers and big busi-
ness interests do not really seem to care
very much who is President. The lead
crs of speculation seemed determined TO
push quotations up SO that the many
stop loss orders in the market would De
safe.
Coppers and Steels were the leaders
Rails were quiet and motors were heaVy;
High records were made in STANDARD
shares as well as specialties. The list OF
record makers were impressive. 1t In
Cluded Central Leather, Utah Copper, In
ternational Paper and Beet Sugar. In
spiration, Atlantic, Gulf and West In
dies. Allis-Chalmers, Miami, American
preferred and Gulf state Steel issues. In
every issue there was a definite reason
for The advance.
What helped the market more than any
political sentiment was announcement
that the United States Steel Corpora
tion's tonnage had increased 1855 for
October. The new business was taken
at the highest prices on record. An
other mighty influence was the copper
market Copper is not to be obtained
At any price in large quantities, but sales
Of small stocks were reported today at
X 1-2 cents a pound and that price was
hid for any quantity at the close. First
quarter copper was sold at 81 cents and
second. quarter for 3 cents. Even these
prices are to be advanced.
In view of the figures the advance in
copper prices was very conservative.
Anaconda Is going to increase its dividend
materially and perhaps at the next meet
ing. Utah will also make some extra
disbursement Production is to be in
creased to the scale OF the fancy prices
offered France is in the market for
more than 100000 pounds of the metal
As the earnings being reported are based
on 25-cent copper one may easily imagine
what will be earned at the metal above
- cents for the year 1917 and with the
war raging more furiously than ever and
with no end in sight.
