Woman Suffrage at Extra Session

Friends OF equal Suffrage Will be
delighted with the prospects for it's
success at the coming extra session.
One of the ver. first measures to be
introduced. considered and enacted
by the new Republican Congress will
be a resolution for an amendment to
the Constitution which will provide
universal suffrage for all women
throughout the country. subject only
to the same restrictions as are 10Y
imposed upon the men.
Representative James r. Mann. of
Illinois. who made possible the pas
sage Of the resolution in the House in
the last Congress by getting out of a
sick bed at the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Hospital and contributing a
much needed vote, will be Chairman
of the Committee on Woman Suffrage
and will report and put through the
measure within a few days after the
extra session begins. He and other
party leaders arc perfectly certain OF
a safe majority. due to the fact that
the states which swelled tho Republic
can total at the last election are for
the most part. favorable to extend
ing the suffrage to women.
THE sentiment for the enfranchise-
ment Of women has been growing
steadily for years, except in certain
Southern States" said Representa-
tive Frank w. Mondell. of Wyoming.
the new majority leader. THE oppo-
sition no longer represents a major
ity Of the people owe any considera-
BILE area anywhere. The granting Of
! the franchise to women is now very
generally recognized as a wise and
proper. if not a vitality essential, step
in making the government truly re-
sponsive to the intelligent judgment
Of all the people. The Republican
party, as the leader of progressive
thought, as the champion of moral
principles. as the defender of genu-
inc democracy, has taken the lead in
urging the extension Of the right Ct
the ballot to women. and will take the
first opportunity afforded after Con-
gress again meets to demonstrate
the sincerity of the party faith in this
regard"
Changes made in the Senate. which
the Republicans now control by two
votes, have mace it certain that the
suffrage amendment will be adopted
by that body by a majority of I'VE or
three. 1t failed last February by one
vote. The domination of the South,
where the fight against the movement
has centered, is over. Senator Hiram
Johnson, chairman Of the Woman
Suffrage Committee in the Senate,
has counted noses and is assured
that before the summer is past the
amendment will be passed 10 the
President for hi, signature and to the
States for ratification.

QUIET DEMAND IN EVIDENCE

New York, Nov. 26.-Trading was
on a far smaller scale on the Broad

some time and the market generally
was of holiday character, business
consisting chiefly of closing out long
stock by those who never cared to carry
stocks over a holiday interval
This made price movements generally
take the shape of moderate declines
with numerous stocks yielding from l
to points. but the tone was at no
time weak and quiet demand was in
evidence at the moderately lower levels.

New York, Nov. 2G.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
Uncertainties inherent in the nature
of news developments which could be
construed as of marketwise influence
were sufficient today to supply the
bears with all the ammunition they
needed to depress the price list in the
interest of further short commitments.
The fact that tomorrow will be a
holiday furnished incentive for the eve
ming up of accounts against possible
unforeseen events, and it may be pre-
sumed that there will be numerous alb
sentees in Wall street for the balance
of the week.
The Mexican situation was utilized
for all it was worth to accelerate
liquidation, and rumors of war We're
quite freely circulated on the floor OF
the stock exchange where, it will be re-
called, such stringent rules against the
circulation of unfounded reports were
formulated year or two ago.
Notwithstanding that Attorney Cen
eral Palmer seemed to be quietly optim
istic about an impending settlement
in the coal controversy when he entered
the cabinet meeting today, the settle
ment had not and probably will not be
realized before the market closes for the
Thanksgiving recess.
The offset against Washington dis
patches with their burden of deadlock
In the abinet was feeble. The denial
of the railroad brotherhood heads that
a strike was in process of being called
was mildly comforting, but scarcely a
factor in the market since very few had
seriously supposed such a thing would
happen while the negotiations with the
director general were pending.
The opening disclosed considerable
heaviness which developed in the course
of the first hour or so into no little
pressure to sell. Declines in that period
ranged from 1 to points with only
here and there a rather lonely strong
spot. Columbia Graphone, for instance.
Through midsession the list steadied
with a moderate show of recovery, but
it gave way again in the afternoon.
General Motor, Crucible Steel. Worth =
ington Pump, Pierce Arrow. Stromberg
others were singled out for bear at
tack. Other than in the more reaction
ary specialties, trading was somewhat
sluggish.
Major price movements were not uni
form. There were additional losses in
some quarters and improvement in
others, the motors among the latter.
Pierce Arrow recovered about half the
loss incidental to the denial that the
duPonts had secured control of that
company. General Motor and Crucible
Steel were in better form in the last
hour, although it was apparent that
real stability was wanting. Continued
pressure was extended against govern %
ment war bonds, several of the issues
selling at bottom prices for the year.

New York, Nov. 26,-The foreign

Holiday influences more than any
thing else were responsible for the
weakness of the local market. The sell
Ing movement did not reach very serious
proportions, but the demand was found
to be extremely limited and in some of
the high priced specialties n painfully

In all parts of the list there was un-
mistakable liquidation. This while not
urgent was nevertheless persistent. be-
ing the more conspicuous in the higher
grade of the local stocks rather than
in the more speculative issues. Some
of this selling has been more or less
of mystery to the closer students of
the market situations and is difficult
to reconcile with existing conditions.
More so because there apparently does
not exist any great need for making
sacrifices. except perhaps in isolated
cases, where it may be imperative be-
cause of impaired speculative accounts
in the New York stocks.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, Nov. 26-Cotton ex-
change concerns were thought to be the
principal sellers of coffee futures this
morning, with trade houses who sold
freely yesterday ON the break in Santos
buying this morning. Call prices were
10 TO IS points below the previous
close.
There was nothing in the early news
from Brazil which might tend TO stim-
ulate aggressive buying, and values
sagged off, some s to II points from
initial figures.
Brazil seems to be anxious to make
sales, as is evidenced by the accept
ances bids of 17Mc for Rio rs late
yesterday, sterling credit and at 1850
American credit, both for fair sized
blocks. Further bids were being So
licited this morning at concessions.
Bids for Santos 4s of 27Ac were we'll
described, and sterling credit was also
accepted.

GENERAL PRICE DROPPING
AMONG THE LOCAL STOCKS
Holiday Influences Partly Responsible for Selling Movement
Market Thin in Spots

was apparent that stocks were being fed
out steadily all around the room. Moth
ing in the local situation could be held
responsible. OF course. there was more
than plenty in matters affecting the
general situation to incite timidity and
encourage reduction of market accounts.
The thin market for the recently
overexploited specialties was uncom-
fortably illustrated in the case of the
General Asphalt shares. The preferred
on very limited offerings dropped 81 on
top of yesterdays $13 decline to 1856.
The common at the same time fell So
to 122. Electric Storage Battery also
disclosed a much more limited demand,
with d decline of SIS to 13S.
Wide declines in such over traded
shares were to be expected. What was
more disconcerting was the continued
heaviness of many of the usual stable
issues. Notable in this connection was
the further liquidation in Union Trac-
tion which touched 3715 or within 80
cents of the low water mark Phila
delphia Traction was offered at 62,
while United Gas Improvement under
fresh pressure broke 81 to 53, or
within 81 of the low record price.

PRICES MEL TED AS FRESH
LIQUIDATION APPEARED
Combination Of Supposedly and Real adverse Influences
Started Whole List Toboggan again

New York, Nov. GA combination
of supposedly and real adverse inf1u
ences and developments provoked re-
newed liquidation in todays stock mar
ket. causing a general melting of prices
OF one TO fifteen points all along the
line. The tone of the market from the
outset was weak and in different quar-
ters at intervals was uncomfortably
soft, conspicuously showing the alb
sence of the support of the short inter
est, which apparently has been pretty
thoroughly rounded up.
The scare headlines in the morning
newspapers concerning the Mexican
situation, European financial situation
and the bituminous coal strike was
alone sufficient to give Wall street the
creeps. To this was added the appar-
ent fresh unrest among the railroad
brotherhoods and the unofficial reports
that the Federal Reserve Board had
again applied the screws against specu-
lative activity and had expressed dis
approval of the advance made in the
pool specialties the past few days.
Such a combination of dsquieting in
fluences could be counted upon upsetting
a robust healthy market. 1t was not
surprising, therefore. that increasing
weakness developed in many quarters
during the day, especially when one
stopped to consider the severe tests and
ordeals through which the current mar
ket has passed within the last three
weeks.
Supplementing the unsettling effect
of any or all of the adverse factors
mentioned above the market was also
called upon to absorb great deal of
stock thrown overheard by reason Of
the holiday influences. 1t was not only
the possibility of some adverse develop
ment turning up over Thanksgiving that
made the average trader desirous Of re-
ducing commitments as much ms pos
sible, but there were other factors on
the same line which served to accentu-
ate this cautious policy. One of these
was that there remained virtually only
one other market day for the week

The big football game on Saturday
was certain to make long list of absen-
tees. This left only Friday for trading
purposes. Having not yet assumed the
role of philanthropists the trading con-
tingent were disposed to jettison specu-
lative commitments as much as possible.
Unfortunately for speculative values
this general desire to liquidate paper
profits or even up commitments came ut
time when the technical position OF
the general list was more or less vul-
nerabe by reason of the wholesale run
ming in of the short interest in the two
preceding sessions.
Irregular price changes at the outset
indicated renewed selling for both aC-
counts. The strongest issues of the
previous day, notably the motors, oils,
equipments and shippings were l to .
points down. Active steels were mod
erately lower and coppers continued to
reflect unfavorable trade conditions. The
reaction made further headway within
the first half hour. General Motors ex-
tending its decline to 10 points.

pronounced as the morning advanced,
with greater activity as prices yielded.
