I'm Wall Street


According to most market experts
tho late rise in stocks yesterday was
duo entirely to concerted move
against shorts. Tho shorts had been
worried since the latter days Of last
week, and when prices began to press
against them yesterday many Of them
turned tail and fed. The view taken
by many traders was that the rise
might continue just 30 long as there
are shorts to cover, but that as soon
as the buying from this quarter hats
the industrial list, at least, will sag
again. 1t is difficult for the Street to
forget the credit difficulties, try as

Sugar in Small Demand

The reduction of the wholesale price
of refined sugar to II cents here ap-
parently failed to stimulate buying yes
terday. The demand continued light,
it was said, and business in futures
was at a standstill, in sympathy with the
cash market. That cancellations have
begun to worry refners is indicated by
an open letter addressed TO the trade
by a prominent refiner. Refusals by
wholesalers and iobbers to accept de-
liveries on contract at this time will
generate spirit of distrust by re-
hncrs and will bring about strained
relations in the trade, it is con-
tended. Holders Of high priced
sugars are making strenuous resis-
tance against the decline brought about
by economic conditions, but so far APP
parently have made little progress.

The French Tobacco Deal

George J. Whelan, president of the
United Retail Stores, who returned last
week from brief trip TO Paris, said
yesterday: II went to France on the
tobacco business, but the negotiations
are at such a stage that | cannot dis
cuss them" The tobacco business"
referred TO by Mr.. Whelan is the mat
ter of obtaining for the American in
terests control of the French tobacco
monopoly The negotiations have been
under way for several months and those
directly interested believe the deal will
finally go through. If it does the
American tobacco group will have the
French market completely to itself, in
return for which it will pay the French
government q certain sum each year

Obviously there was much short
covering yesterday, but whether
Mr. Livermore was actually per
forming the role which was popu-
larly ascribed to MIN only he and
his brokers know. On the floor
of the exchange it was reported
that Mr.. Livermore was sending across
heavy buying orders. For some weeks

YOUNG MINNEAPOLIS
GIRL DIE T
TERRIFIC FIGHT

Minneapolis. Mimi, Oct. 14.-Beat-
en- into inconsistencies by. an un-
known assailant who used a rough
stone for a weapon. Dorothy Bowers.
II ears old, did early today, q few
hours after she was discovered on a
pile of brush within a block OF her
home.
She did not regain consciousness.
The girl was found shortly before
S O'Clock by John voegel, who was
attracted by the girls groans as he
was passing. He hurried to the spot
and found the girl lying unconscious
in a pool of blood.
Her body had been well concealed
on the brush pile and there was evil
dence that she had been dragged
about 20 feet, probably from the
place where she was first accosted.
Her small purse lay empty near her
her arms scratched, telling the story
OF her terrific fight against her bru-
tai assailant.
After hearing several contradictory
stories from the man, the police late
today planned to arrest A. Moron for
the murder of Miss Dorothy G.. Bow
ers. 17-year-old. who died early today
after being brutality beaten within ZOE
yards of her home while she was re-
turning from work last night
Detectives and deputy sheriffs,
starting at opposite angles of the
case. arrived at the game conclusion
regarding the mar who is reputed to
be mentally unbalanced and on sew
eral occasions to have shown undue
interest in the murdered girl. sus-
he told several different storieS one
Of which he afterwards denied. He
also appeared to be intensely inter
ested in the investigation Of the kills
ing when he visited the scene early

He awoke to afsickening pain in the

BALL0TFORMS !.
CAUSE DEBATE
Designation of Independents
as Nonpartisans is Dis
approved.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 14.-If the
N~onpartlsan league presses a fight on
the matter of arranging ballots for the
November election. it is probable that
the question will be raised as to the
right to have candidates in the inde-
pendent columns designated as Nom
league candidates.
AS h ballots are being printed. ac-
cording to reports from counties where
auditors have designated them, there
is one column for Governor Frazier
and other republican ,victors, a column
for democrats and a column for indi-
vidual nominations.
There is place for the individual or
independent nominations filed by So
cialists for presidential electors and
individual or independent nomina-
tons filed by the Nonpartisan league
Tor candidates named independently
by the league to replace those defeat
ed on the republican ticket.
The socialist candidates are desig-
mated as such and the independent
league nominations are designated as
Nonpartisan league. "
Politicians here regard the placing
of the word Nonpartisan league over
candidates as an unusual ADVANTAGE
for the league.
Attorney General Linde held four
years ago that under the election laws
IT was not permissible to, designate
by Nonpartisan league,
In 1912 Attorney General Costello
held that Individual nominations
should go in one column.
Assistant. Secretary Of State Duffy
explained today that it was up to the
county auditors to designate how the
ballots should be printed. He added
that election laws of the state are in
such shape that many interpretations
are susceptible. One of the recommen.
datfons Of Secretary of State Hall to
the next legislature is c~odiication and
Qualification Of election laws.
The secretary Of states office sent
certificates to county auditors. but
county auditors exercise authority to
say how ballots shall be printed. AS
matters now stand there are many
here who feel that Nonpartisans are
given a distinct advantage in having
their individual nomination labelled.

Alexander Says Contrary
Opinion Recently Dis

7 New York, Oct: Thames S. Alex.
ander, president of the National Bank
OF Commerce in New York, told Amer
lean exporters at the annual, conven-
ton of the American Manufacturers
Export association here today, that the
banks had not failed to cooperate
with business men. to the fullest x
tent in the present business. era. If
business men felt there had been any
tendency on the part ofathe banks
1t was due to a misconception or al
failure to give weight to fundamental
facts, he said. 5
Mr.. Alexander said he desired to
answer the charge made%by the presi-
dent. OF h export association that the
banks cooperate readily with bust
ness. n times of prosperity but when
hard times come they withdraw their
assistance"
MI. Alexander admitted that in the
past there had been some basis for
such an accusation out he attributed
this to the fact that the banks were
not then organized SC as to support
one another and each was compelled
to protect itself by contracting it's
loans in times of stress. Under the
federal reserve system, however, Mr..
said this fundamental
weakness in the American banking
structure had been corrected.
During the period through which
we have recently passed." he went
on. "the loyal cooperation of the
banks with business maintained. the
soundness Of the business structure in
a way never before witnessed in this
country. If any one feels that the
banks as a whole have not c~o-operat-
ed with business as they should, it is
because he does not fully appreciate
the fundamentals involved" While the
American credit structure was highly
expanded, he said, the volume of gold
had shrunk and it had become advis-
able for the banks to conserve their
positions with the utmost care He re-
garded this as the best service the
banks could render, to, business for
weakened banks would have meant

London, Oct. 14.-The coal miners
delegates at a meeting today in con-

the miners rejection Of the owners

Should expire Saturday.
This means that the long threatened

Monday unless there is some new IN
prevention to prevent it.
The official figures Of ballot taken
by the miners to decide, upon accep-

production offered by the owners, be-
yond which an increase in wage
would be granted, was given out today
as follows: For acceptance, 1s1.42s:
made a majority against acceptance OF
453.670.
Today's meeting was presided over
by. Robert Smillie. On its behalf a
statement was issued announcing the
decision of the executive committee
that by virtue of the b~alloting OF the
strike notices be allowed to expire
the result of the ballot and the con-
~ference's decision to Premier Lloyd

The United Kingdom today was
faced with perhaps the most ominous
