The Ardmoreite wishes, with all due
respect TO the Republican house Of

landslide which put them in Office

the taxpayers Of the state hoped 10

REVIEW OF BUSINESS CONDITIONS

of the house confirms the belief that
IT. is intended to attempt thorough
going and general revision of the en-
tire set of schedules at the special
session. Financial authorities are more
and more in doubt whether this policy
may not be injurious rather than, as
supposed, helpful to market prospects.
Foreign retaliation is feared by not a
few.
New Year Changes
The liquidation and heavy selling
for the purpose of establishing in
come tax losses which characterized
the closing months Of the year have
been offset by upward react on since
the holidays. Investment demand has
made itself evident and the supply Of
securities in floating" condition
is apparently very small Removal of
the artificial factors which figured
in the-market at the year end has left
the investment situation free to de-
velop itself along normal lines with
the result that an evident tendenc,
toward higher prices is now to be
noted. Better demand for bonds also
has shown itself in the form Of strong
er quotations for these securities. In
the exchange market for most of the
week past there has been decided
upward movement for sterling which
has carried it to the highest point
since last August, ana this strength
has been more or less reflected in
continental currencies although not for
the most part in South American
countries. The belief that new star.
will be taken in the foreign trade un-
der the influence of the war finance
corporation and the extension by the
British government of its policy Of
uid TO exporters has probably had some
psychological influence.
Market Review and Outlook &,
That the Shorts" overstayed their
market Mt the close Of last year has
been shown by the continued demand
from that source; inIsmuch as the
floating supply of stocks has been
greatly reduced by the absorption
which has been going on by strong
interests, bids have had to be raised
to bring out stock, The general pub
lie has been too badly hurt by the
drastic fall in values to he as great
factor as at some periods in put
ting prices up. Nevertheless, buying
orders from them have shown some
Increases and no doubt II the market
should continue TO advance would null
tiply as time goes on. The good be-
havior of the market is naturally Gre
at1ng more hopeful feeling but the
time hardly seems propitious for an
other "bull campaign" as there is
still too much financial and trade re-
adjustment TO be accomplished before
the situation will be thoroughly stab
ilized, although 1t is freely conceded
that most stocks are st.ll selling at
attractive prices to holl. Can money
renewals hold at per cent, but TIME
funds are beginning to make their
appearance, and this, unquestionably,
is an encouraging feature, as the
financial district has been practically
ON n call money basis for ghc last
couple OF years.

NO REAL DEPRESSION

Accordig to the concensus Of opiG'
lon, as entertained by wholesale deal
ers and jobbers and expressed by
travelling men. representing all lines
of commercial activities, the thre''-
ened slump in business seems to
have drifted over and gone by, like
some dark and portentious-lookins
cloud which passes across the horizon
without bringing with it the feared
torrential downpour and the devas'
tating winds.
For a time, as all admit, it looked
like dark and dsmal times were in
store for the business interests OF
the United States. EXtortionate prices
upon every day commodities had
been the cause Of buyers strike
which was nationwide in its scope
OF threatened reactionary calamity
while the price of cotton, as manipu-
lated by the stock-gambling markets
in dropping down TO the lowest ebb
had taken the farmers Of the coun-
try out Of the class Of the ultra
prosperous and placed them back in
the ranks Of those who labor hardest
and reap the most imperfect finan-
cial returns.
II has been charged that a precon-
certed attempt was made to bring
about a financial panic. to create
stressful condition which would
resdlt in lining the pockets Of the
manipulators with golden shekcls,
while the pockets Of the merchants,
Of farmers, Of the salared men and
women would be papercd with notes
redlscounted and with promises 10

better from a financial viewpoint.

AUTO RACER SAYS SUCCESS

Roscoe Sarles, Devotee of Sports, Trains Care

II Roscoe Sarles has good

He must have had a good nights
rest and good breakfast before
the Indianapolis race last Decora-

his Dusenberg, averaging 1851 miles
per hour. Tommy Milton was first,
driving a Frontenac, time 1852
miles per hour.
Sarles is one Of the most success
fuI of the younger generation of
auto race drivers. He trains for
his racing engagements with an
hour of vigorous exercises and a
cold plunge and rub down during
the training period. He is a dew
otee of all college sports, having
been reared in Lafayette, Ind. the

quiries were sent to 100 car own
q, ers who were divided into ten pur-
chasers from each OF ten dealers.
Then too this class of purchaser
thinks that the manufacturer leaves
too many things of the car that
he regards as accessories that the
purchaser looks on as necessaries-
For instance. buyers in this field
think they are entitled to have their
cars come through with theft proof
locks, mctometer, spare tire, spot
light and the like. The man who
buys a $500 car may agree that he
isn't entitled to anything more than
q chassis and body and one who
buys a car costing more than s2,-
900 may feel able to purchase extra
equipment, but the man who buys
between $1,000 and $4,000 feels that
a motor and a place to SIT.
The inquiries as sent out by Gen
eral Manager Mock of the dealer
association developed some rather
interesting things that the dealers
could do also to sell more motor
vehicles. A number suggested that
cars were too much misrepresented
by statesmen. Then, the salesman
ager and the statesmen should agree
on what representations are to be
made by the statesmen. Some sales
story was out OF line with the house
policy.

GuanO Industry Made
Austrian MOnODOLU

PARIS, Nov. 19.-One of the most
important deposits of guano in the
world has been discovered in a
series OF caves near Mixinx, Austria.
Bats were seen flying out of the
cavern one night by a farmer. who
entered and discovered the guano.
Hearing that. the deposits were
worth approximately 100000 900
crowns, the Austrian government
promptly confiscated the cave and
announced the guano industry was
henceforth a state monopoly.
