MERCER CRAZE

BY STUART p. WEST.

wall Street, New York. May 81.
The speculative stock market
again held the center Of attention
teSay. Bonds were active and gen.
orally strong, cotton went higher
on unfavorable weather news while
the. foreign exchanges did little as
vas to be expected on the eve OF
inc German reply regarding Fepa-
rations. The decision taken by the
bankers conference at Paris that
no billion dollar loan to Germany
, would be possible unless the Ger
man government accepted the full
terms of the indemnity program
and at the same time took steps
10 balance its budgets, was OBJ
yiously of great Importance. 1t
seemed to leave little doubt of
what the German.
But it was on the stock exchange
that the main developments of the
day occurred. The market was
bueyant throughout. 1t still fol-
lowed, however. the accustomed
. procedure of advances by groups
rather than any uniform upward
swing. Some of the individual ad-
yances were quite violent, notably
those in the tobacco stock which
are the latest objects of the
merger" craze. More interest was
taken in the motor accessories, a
logical enough sequel to the great
strength in Studebaker &C. and the
rising prices in other of the motor
shares The inability of automo-
bile manufacturers and of the maxi
ers of automobile parts to keep
pace with orders, is the background
Of the speculative operations in this
quarter.

Declares That Many Writ CTS Are Trying To Make It Appear That Harding and C. 0. P. Are Near Break
Relations Are Entirely Cor dial, More So Than at Any Time in Past 25 Years.

Washington March 3o.-Congress and President Harding are not at log gerheads despite the impression created by certain writers and cer- tain newspa pers' Representative Mondell, Wyoming, republican leader. declared today in a statement which he said he had prepared for delivery as an address in the house.
 Relations Cordial
 "The fact is that instead of the president and congress being at log gerheads, as these writers and jour nals would have the country believe" stated Mr. Mondell. there never has been a time in my quarter of a cen tury of experience in congress when the relations between the president and congress. particularly the house of representatives were more pleasant, cordial, sympathetic and harmonious than at the present time.
 "Any one who will take the trouble to read the recommendation of Pres ident Harding to this congress from time to time and to examine the record of congress will find that practically all of these recommends tions have either been written into law or are in process of enactment and this applies particularly to the record of the house."
 Invites Comparison
 The republican leader said he in- vited comparison with any period of American history and challenged any one to find record of finer relations or more harmonious cooperation" be- tween the president and congress. There has been a general and sub- stantial accord, he added not only on matters of primary importance but in the consideration of many questions of policy and detail.
 Declaring that there seemed to be a "systematic attempt on the part of various newspapers and writers to create the impression that there was friction between the executive ano republican congressional leaders. MT. Mondell asserted that "the anti bonus campaign of certain metropolitan newspapers has given us the finest example we have yet had as to the length to which some people are willing to go in campaign of mis- representation"
 Trying to Cause Trouble
 Efforts are also being made, MT. Mondell declared, to make it appear

 Mrs Kimball's letter follows:
 To The Editor of the Herald:
 May l, through your columns, voice protest against the statements in pamphlet sent out yesterday to the voters in the interests of the present administration?
 When | recall the heroic work done by ex-Mayor Quigley's efficient com mittee during the Flu epidemic, no political aspirations can justify the implication that all possible aid was not given to the people of New Brit ain at that time.
 Nor can a confusion of names al- low the credit of the Fresh Air camp to be placed at the feet of any one person other than the late Dr. John r. Curtis. at that time. superintend- cnt of the board of health, who met with much mcddlesome opposition from the present mayor. even to tho extent of ordering the women's com mttee from the rooms of the board of health.
