The Society Gard Parties

a new day has dawned in New
Mexico for no more can the ladies
gather around the card tables and
play Auction Bridge" or other pro-
gressive games. In the passing OF
the anti-gambling bill at the recen,
session OF the state legislature So
ciety card parties were eliminated
The law makers have practically de-
clared that gambling is gambling
whether carried on by the gentler
sex in receptions rooms fragrant and
artistically decorated with costly
flowers, or in a gambling hall OF
room, where the odor of bootleg
whiskey or home-brew prevails
Auction Bridge" and "Stud Poker
are in the same class, and stakes
whether they be cut-glass or other
dainty prizes, or the common cid
stack of poker chips, will look. alike
in the eyes of the law. The bill. as
passed is the most drastic. ever on
the statute books of the state. The
mere finding of a deck of cards in
the possession of a person, ACCORDING
to the new statute, is evidence enough
to subject said person to a minimum
fine OF $1,000, and it also carries a
p~enitentiary %septence.

Amid impressive ceremonies the new

About the easiest way TO start stocks

Wall Street is always eager TO buy
stocks on merger talk as 1t cannot forget
the fabulous profits which have accrued
in the past. distant and recent, on trans

when a consolidation is contemplated is

For months back. even when they were

caution. Commercial Attache Schurz at

He attributed the increase IN buying to
the rapidity with which. existing stocks
or merchandise were being reduced. The

be disturbing factor.

Quietness IN most lines Of trade out
side of retail circles has been the OUT
standing feature OF business the last
week. Dun's weekly review points out
that this abatement Of activity is sea-
sonal and is not looked upon as unusual
when the taking OF inventories requires
attention In primary channels.
That large operations have been re-
corded in certain branches" the review
goes on, merely illustrates the existing
Irregularities, and the conservative deal
ings in most directions are more repre-
sentative of the general status OF busi-
ness. Frequent reiteration of the state
ment that many buyers are deferring
important action has been necessary this
year, but disappointment over results in
various lines has partly arisen because
OF the expectation OF more rapid reviva
than the facts of the situation justified.
a fall of about 30 per cent. in wholesale
prices from the high level OF 1920 nat
urally had an unsettling influence every
where, and the readjuStment to new
basis of consumption. production and
prices could not be quickly effected.
The transition. however, has been pro-
ceeding gradually"
BTddStreefS review says: TRADE and
industrial reports are irregular and
chara cterization is difficult. For these
conditions, seasonal changes, weather
vagaries, light export trade and caution
of buyers are varioIsly cited. 1t may
be said. however. that many big pri-
mary lines have Quieted and that the
peak Of fall buying passed in October
