CONSTRUCTIVE TRADING
features WALL Street
Distinct Improvement Marks Close Of
Market, Despite Reactions in
Many Issues.
1By the International New. serricel


New York, Aug. 24-Although the stock
market showed more net losses than net
gains at the close of the day, the final
trading was OF a constructive character
and the situation in the Street Is better
than the actual figures indicate.
Distinct Improvement came toward the
close of the day when It became known
that the railroads would give in before
long and grant an eight-hour day Presi-
dent Wilson can not make a positive
promise Of an increase Of freight rates,
but he has apparently convinced the rail-
road presidents of his intention to use
the power of his great Office to get such
an increase. It will be a sort OF gentle
mems agreement such as exists. for in
stance in the copper world. Such an agree
ment often proves to be stronger than a
legal combination.
1t was. perhaps, only coincidence that
the copper stocks, which represent the
worlds most profitable gentlemen's agree
ment, should be selected as leaders in
the recovery Of the market. Perhaps it
was done deliberately to give Wall Street
a gentle hint Of the true situation at
Washington.
Inspiration Copper was the stock Sc
lected to lead the group and it sold at
the highest price on record when It touch
ed IS 3-S
anaconda followed and then came Utah
and kennecOtt. BY the time Wall Street
realized what was going on in the cop
pers it was time to close sOr the day The
result was that the stock trading fra
teTnity went home in a cheerful frame
OF mind ready to grasp at any optimistic
development that may be at hand when
the exchange opens tomorrow morning.
Sharp reactions came in many issues
today. particularly in Mercantile Ma
rine. Reading and Steel Marines down
ward movement was started by the
proposition made in Parliament to charter
all vessels at admiralty rates. This would
hurt International Mercantile Marine ma
teTially. Perhaps it is in fear of such
4 thing, or perhaps it IS because the com
mitteemen have liquidated freely. that
they are now talking of postpOning in
definitely payment of the back dividends
on the preferred. Mercantile Marine has
been admirably handled in the last year
and particularly so from stOck-jObbing
point OF view.

WATSON WOULD HAVE
ADMINISTRATION CONDEMNED

Atlanta. Sept 21.-Not only is Hugh
NJ. Dorsey, Democratic governor elect
of Georgia, confronted with a demand
from Thomas f. Watson that the plat
form adopted by the Macon convention
which meets next Tuesday, shall con-
tain no endorsement of President Will
son or of the Democratic adminstra-
ton in Washington, DuJ he is confront
ed with the further demand that the
Democratic state convention in Macon
shall actually condemn the President
and the Democratic congress.
Perhaps never before in the history
of the Democratic party in Georgia has
such a situation presented itself. Here
is a Democratic governor-elect nomi-
mated by Democrats in a Democratic
primary, about to be formally nomi-
mated by a Democratic convention,
commanded by the arch enemy Of his
party in Georgia to condemn the par
tvs national leader and the party's
administration of the affairs of the
national government.

FREE PRESS AND JONES
IN MERRY WORD WA2
THE STATEMENT THAT DORSEY
WOULD OPPOSE SMITH CAUSE
OF WARM DIFFERENCE.

Moultrie, Ga, Sept, 22-Considera-
trie and in other sections of the state
by a statement which appeared in the
Quitman Free Press Of last Saturday
and which came out in many Of the
Sunday papers to the effect that Hon.
Hugh M. Dorsey was already laying
his plans to run against HOke Smith
four years hence. Interest in the
statement has been greatly increased
by the denial on the part Of Col. j.
Gordon Jones, of Cordele, who was
given as authority for the statement,
that he had ever made any such state
ment.
The Free-Press of Tuesday carried
two column front-page story in which
it gives a sworn affidavit that the
statement credited to Mr.. Jones was
made by him in the presence of wit
nesses. The Free Press presents Mr.
Jones' denial of the statement regard
ing Mr.. Dorsey's proposed candidacy
against Senator Smith and then pre-
SCENTS the affidavits.
1t appears that Mr. Jones was in
Quitman last Saturday afternoon and
the Free Press claimed that he stated
that he had just come from a meeting
of Dorsey managers in Atlanta, at
which meeting it was decided Mr.
Dorsey should oppose Senator Smith,
This is the statement that Mr.. Jones
is now denying.

Dorsey would oppose Senator Smith

WILL APPEAL JUDGE
LAMBDiN'S DECISION

Moulhie, Sept 21-The creditors
Of Jew. Coleman, bankrupt, will APP

Court at New Orleans in the hope of
getting a reversal Of Judge W. w.
Lambdin's decision awarding $13, 500
insurance money to farmers having

con Of Albany shortly after Coleman

The general creditors hope to set aside
