LITTLE DOING IN
THE LOCAL SHARES
Limited Initial Transactions
W'ere Not Deserving Of
Serious Consideration

Dealings in the local stocks were
again of extremely small dimensions and
no significance whatever was to be at
tached TO the listless and narrow price
movement. 1t has been many years since
market interest localwisc has fallen to
such low ebb. but the reasons for this
almost unprecedented condition are
easily found when the money market is
taken into consideration. Money. in so
far as stock exchange operations are
concerned, is virtually unobtainablc at
any price. Consequently. outside of a
limited amount Of cash trading the bust
ness of the local brokers has came to u
complete standstill.
The staGnatiOn can be better appre-
ciated by a glance at the table of trans
actions printed elsewhere, showing less
than half dozen shares. in which deal
ings reached or exceeded 100 shares.
Most Of the dealings represented sales
and purchases of odd lots ranging from
one to ten shares. This buying is sig
nificant in a way, in that it represents
a gradual but persistent absorption of
stocks which will have material effect
upon the supply and demand. and likely
prove a big factor in the market.
In most instances price changes were
confined within small fractional limits

phasizcd the thin character of the mar

OPENING PRICES
were IRREGULAR
Short Covering Induced by
More Circumstantial Rumors
of Gold Imports

New York, June 25.--What today's
stock market lacked in breadth and
activity it more than made up in
strength From the outset there was
every indication of yesterdays stiff
money rates being repeated and nobody
was disappointed on this score. as
money continued not only high, but
also decidedly scarce. Call renewal
rate was fixed at Q per cent. against
yesterdays rate Of s per cent. and
bymidday, by reason Of the scant sup
ply. was raised to IL per cent. The
market. however. did not weaken, to
the contrary exhibited a surprising un-
dercurrent of strength. although. as
might reasonably be expecter, became
intensely dull.
The relative steadiness of the general
list during the last forty eight hours
in face of the stringent money condi-
tions made "A favorable impression in
market circles. in that II was widely
accepted as IN acid proof test Of the
strong technical position. Besides Civ
ing convincing proof of the we'll lequi-
dated position of the general list.
Considerable encouragement also
seemed to be derived from the definite
announcement of the two consignments
Of gold from England to this country,
tion of a big gold movement in this
country. incidental to the payment of
Anglo French bonds next fall.
With the soaring money rates and
the knowledge of the extremely scant
supply Of funds for stocks exchange ac-
commodations no effort naturally was
made to arouse enthusiasm. and it
would have been very ridiculous for even
the traders to attempt to do anything
of any moment on the constructive side
under the existing circumstances.
With the knowledge of the prcpara-
tiops that must be made for the enor-
nous July disbursements the high
money rate was expected and the rank
and file seemed to be content to rest on
their oars and mark time until the
pinch. which is regarded as temporary.

They seek special commitments
to their special policies. And
because Max Gardner chooses to
serve YOU rather than THEM
they threaten him with political
death.
The friends of Morrison will
seek to break the force of this
statement. The best they can
say for their candidate is that
his position is the same as that
of Max Gardner; that Barrett
and Mcmahon cannot control the
one any more than they can con-
troll the other. But where the
carcass is there will the eagles be
gathered together. " They may
not love Morrison the less; they
certainly hate Gardner the more.
THEY know their man. No
vote which they can control will
be cast for Max Gardner. That
they don't want him is a good
reason why we should.
And yet the selection of a
Governor this time is a small
thing compared with the large
matters involved. IF A SPEC
IAL CLASS CAN SELECT A
GOVERNOR IN 1920, THEY
CAN DO 1T AGAIN IN 1924. If
a few thousand men can force
their will upon the Democratic
Party this year, how long will it
be before that Party will pass
wholly under their control? Pow
er grows by what it feeds upon.
If these agitators can defeat
Gardner now, they will count it
THEIR victory and in the future
will seek to commit every candi-
date to their special program.
You can meet this issue with
your ballots on July 3. You can
vote for a man who will be fair
to every class and every interest
in the State. Max Gardner is
the friend of every man WHO
labors, despite the efforts of
these agitators to create a differ
ent impression. He knows what
work is and means. AS a boy he
knew what it was to follow a
mule down the long cotton rows
of Cleveland County. He has
spent weary hours as a worker
in the cotton factory. His whole
life is a pledge that he will be
fair to every man who earns his
bread in the sweat of his face.
Vote for Max Gardner July 3
and scotch this menace which
rears its head against the State.

Speaker of the House Represent
atives.

MARSE HENRY SAID IT!

Aberdeen, June II. -lntroduc-
ing Lieut.. Gov. 0. Max Gardner
to a large Aberdeen audience
here tonight, Henry A. Page,
without mincing words, tore in
to Cameron Morrison in no un-
certain terms. Mr.. Page said in
part:
"Mr. Gardner's opponent is a
man superlatively untitled by
nature and lack of grace to fill
the high Office to which he
aspires. | have been associated
with him in various capacities
for 80 years. His highest concep-
ton of the functions of a politi-
cal party is to capture pieces of
profit for leaders of the party.
He has not and never has had
any idea that government should
be adopted for the intimate needs
of the people. Mr.. Morrison is
wholly out of harmony with
everything in the state except
the machine. Those who wish
to do business with him must
take along a revenue doodler to
be introduced. He is incapable
of being more than a cog in a
wheel or at most a wheel in a
machine. The political machine
now coming to Morrison's aid
fought every progressivemeasure
to come before the Legislature
while | was a member of it. "

MR.. McADOO'S DECISION

Ex-Secretary William G. Nc
Adoo makes the great renunci-
alton" in a manner that does
credit to his sense of honor and
responsibility. In his telegram
to Assistant Secretary Shouse,
who asked him to permit his
name to be presented to the
Democratic Convention in San
Francisco, he says: Il cannot
therefore, permit my name to
go before the convention; this
decision is irrevocable, as the
path of duty seems to me clear
land unmistakable." Mr.. Nc
Adoo is in the position of many
men who have given time and
service to the country at serious
personal cost. 1t will be remem-
bered that when he resigned as
Secretary of the treasury and as
Director General of Railroads he
gave as the reason the fact that
he felt it to be his duty to re-
habilitate his own private fortune
in order to make provision for
his family. That reason still
prevails with him, In the eigh-
teen months that have elapsed
since he left public office he has
not had time to accomplish the
object he had in view, and no
man can gainsay him when he
declares that it is at once a
sacred duty and the cherished
desire of every right-thinking
man" to provide for the support
in ease and comfort of The men,
bers of his family.
He presents another reason
for declining to enter the contest
which, in view of very recent in
cidents, will be universally ap-
proved as sound and creditable.
A Presidential campaign, he
says. imposes upon the candidate
unavoidable expenses which |
Am unable to assume and which
II do not want my friends to as
sumo" 1t is plain TO the common
est understanding that our pres
ent system of Presidential
nominations and elections has
grievous faults. Circumstances of
p rivate fortune ought not to con
strain any man fitted for high
office to put away the honor and
opportunity because he cannot
afford to enter the lists. Motor
iously the direct primary is an
enormously costly contrivance.
Ambitious perjury, even if high
qualification and popular favor go
with it, can make its way in that
path only on borrowed or contri-
buted money. We have had
enough of that.
Mr.. McADoo's withdrawal of
his name will dlsappoint a multi
tude his Democratic friends. His
name has stood well to the fore
foremost Of all in the
preliminary tests of the party |
choice. But no one can question
the soundness and sufficency of |
the grounds upon which he makes
bis decision. |
