President Wilson received slap
from the Partisan Socialists who

show how far his Democratic ut

The Worlds S Markets
Weekly Financial Review
ax Associated Pros

New York, May 25-Activity in the stock market last week failed to at tain the huge dimensions of the pre- ceding period, but was of sufficient volume and scope to make the trading again noteworthy.
 Paramount factors which guided the list through it's occasional intervals of caution included the Presidents mes- sage to Congress, the remarkable for eign trade returns for April. further brilliant crop prospects and many iii- dications of industrial Improvement
 The market received its greatest stimulus from the address of Ebert H. Gary, who predicted an "era of great CT prosperity for steel and industry extending to French metal trade, he said. His conclusions were based chiefly upon the country's supreme economic position.
 Last phases of the peace conference, greater ease of money despite the 10 per cent Victory Loan payment and a pronounced broadening of investment buying also served to stabilize the general speculative situation. Disappointment was felt at the fail- ure of the railroad shares to make more substantial response to Presi- dent Wilson's recommendations but . this was ascribed to the feeling of un- certainty attending the circumstances of the roads return to private own ership.
 The indifference in banking circles It is understood prominent finan- ciers finally returning from Europe have formulated plans for the reha- utilization of foreign remittances by a system of credit systems, but these credits are not extended to late con- tracts on or before the actual signlng s of the peace treaty.

PRESS PRA|SEDFOR
 PUBLICITY WORK
Appreciation of Press Work During Kiwanian COnven-
 tion Is Expressed

On behalf of the Kiwanians generally and the local Kiwanis club in particu- lar. J. Mercer Barnett, president, has issued the following statement in refer ence to the publicity given by the local press to the recent international conven- ton held here.
 To the Press of Birmingham: I wish to express to the three newespa pers of Brminghabm- the appreciation of the en- tire membership of the Birmingham Xii wanis club, the international officers trustees, delegates and visitors to the International Kiwanis convention, which met in Birmingham the past week for the splendid unlimited and far reaching publicity given the sessions of the con vention.
 In addition to this regular news mat ter carried by the three papers of Bir- press of Birmingham for three special editions, one issued by the Birmingham News on Tuesday. the Ledger on Wednesday, and The Age-Herald on Thursday. These papers have been sent all over the entire United States and Canada, and every member of Kiwanis is today reading about Birmingham. It was a great piece of propaganda work. a wonderful piece of publicity for Bir- mingham, and I feel that too much praise cannot be given the newspapers, their reporters and editors who worked so hard on these editions
 The convention was a great hit with our northern visitors, and they all com mented on the wonderful 1co-operation given the local Kiwanis club by the press. It was one of the outstanding features of the convention, and there is no telling the good that it has done the city, for the cumulative effect of this kind of municipal advertising is hard tc estimate.
 In the name of the club members, for the secretary. and on behalf of national Kiwanis, I say, with meaning T thank you" Sincerely.
 J. MERGER BARNETT, President Birmingham kiwanis Club.
