they came to plead for mercy to
the Judge at the request of many
prominent citizens of Lawrence
burg. One of the ladies present
said that they represented the
mothers and good women of Law
renceburg; that these boys were
not criminals but had been lead
off and they hoped the Judge
would be lenient with them.
Judge Cochran replied that he
might have been more lenient
with Boggess and Gordon if they
had not tried to thwart justice
He said they had not told the
truth, especially Boggess. He
said he appreciated the feeling Of
the good women and men but il
was his duty TO make the penal
ties SO heavy that other young
men would be afraid to violate
the law. The Judge declared
that there had been one robbery
after another in that section Of
the state, raids on distillery and
whisky burglary, all in tse same
neighborhood, Judge Cochran
said if he let these boys off,
someone else's good boy would
come along with the same plea.
He said they had begged so hard
that he would let down a peg or
two, at that, from his original
intentions and might abate the
sentences some after careful
thought later.

for the manufacture Of a maximum
output Of fertilizer compounds at
prices TO be adjusted by q Govern.
ment board. Other offers, for frac-
tional parts Of the Muscle Shoals
plant, do not relieve the Govern.

The lease Of the plant to Henry
Ford was urged last session by
farmer groups In Senate and

cause of opposition by Congress.

Losses by Market Leaders
Frequent In Early
Trading.
BY w. 9. COUSINS,


(copyrisht. is2s, by cosmopoiitan News
ssrvive.b
NEW YORK, Nov. l0.-The
stock market was again under
pressure In the early trading to-
day. partly as q result of the &C.
cumulation Of selling orders since
the previous close. and partly by
the renewal Of the attacks against
proven weak spots by the pro-
fessional bears. Special weakness
was apparent In several OF the
stocks that have borne the brunt
OF heavy bearish hammering in re-
cent sessions. Allied Chemical was
again sold In blocks and at 7lN
e, S.-o".d decline Of n-ariy eight
points from yesterdays high and
twenty points from the high OF
early October. General Asphalt was
also selected as q target by the
bears. but It put up a stronger
resistance than II did In yesterdays
session.
Losses OF a point or more In out.
standing market leaders were not In.
frequent. Marking off its 2h point
down 2 points, all OF the independent
steels suffered contraction as com
pared with the previous closing level,
and industrials and rails reflected
the results of an extremely limited
buying demand.
Before the close Of the first hour.
there was somewhat OF an improve
ment from this source, and prices
showed a tendency to reach upward
to slightly higher levels. The oils
and shipping stocks, and. to q smaller
extent. the coppers, led the market
in a moderate rally from the early
low points. though not In every case
did the prices equal the former clos.
ing.
There II still q large group OF
traders who have been pinning their
faith to the ultimate recuperation OF
the shipping industry and profits for
the best American shipping lines.
For this. reason they are always
ready to buy the socks Of such com.
panies whenever they consider them
at bargain prices. Marine preferred.
a 6 per cent. stock. with cumulative
back dividends to be paid. IL good
buy at present prices, II this divi-
dend can be maintained. But even
the head Of the Marine company has
expressed grave doubts on this ques.
ton, and this has led to heavy liqui-
dation. Today the stock was In good
demand and sold up about 2h
poin.s. Ship and Commerce, Allan
tic Gulf and American International
were also strong.
ACTIVITY, In the copper stocks has
been accompanied by rumors that big
interests are working on a plan to
consolidate q few Of the prominent
companies, including Chile, Bradt n,
Cerro de Pasco and Anaconda-the
last mentioned to be the father Of the
consolidation. The copper concerns
will fare much better when prices for
the red metal advance to the point
where there is wider margin be-
tween the market and the cost OF pro-
duction.
Steel common was quite active at
108h, just fractionally below yester.
days closing. The monthly state
ment OF untitled orders. issued at
noon today. showed an increase of
210,6S0 TONS in forward business, as
compared with one month ago. II
is still confidently predicted that the
directors will make some special dis.
tribution Of the $500 zoo, 900 surplus

BOND TRADING
Greater Activity Noted This
Years as Compared With
Last Year.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.

NEW YORK. Nov. l0.-As an In
dication OF the greater activity on
the listed bond market during the
present year, investment bankers
have called attention to the fact that
nearly one billion dollars more. mar
ket value, In listed bonds. have been
traded In this year TO date than In
the corresponding period OF 1921.
The greatest increase has been In do
mestic railroad and industrial bond
Issues. which have Increased. as com
pared with last year, from $500 ,OOO,'
900 to 81 700, 900 900. The increase
In foreign government bond issues
have also been significant, having
gone up from about $30O, 900 900 to
$525 ,000, 900. There has been a fall
ing off In Liberty bond sales. how
ever. the total shrinking from ST.
750. 900 900 to $500. .000.0 900 approx.
mately. This years total In about
$3.50. .000. 900. as compared with 81.
500, 900 900 in the first ten months
OF 1921.
The most interesting develop.
ments In the lis.ed bond market
will depend upon the outcome OF
the European reconstruction and
the solution Of Europe's reparatiOn
problem. There Is no doubt but
that a good number Of listed for
eign government bonds at the pres
snt time offer very attractive yields
for American investors. but the
important matter of safety Of prin
cipal deters many investors from
purchasing them. OF what use Is
It to secure the promise of a high
interest return II the entire prin.
cipal Ia in danger Of being wiped
out by reason Of a cataclysm such
as has overtaken Russia and Aus
tria?
Even the French government IS,
which at the present market yield
a return of over per cent do not
receive nearly as high rating In
the estimate Of American investors
as they did In former years. AT
the present time. these bonds can
be bought for about 9s, compared
to their market price of lOS%
earlier in the year. The current
price OF ~ for the French gov
ernment 7hs compares with 106
earlier In 1922. The Swiss govern
ment IS retain their position as the
highest priced foreign bond in our
market. but they have undergone
a shrinkage of about eight points
since the early part of this year.
1t is understood that the Fed.
eral Treasury will defer any furth-
er issuance Of government securi.

cember, emitting the contemplated

The machines will compute bal.

that one full.tme clerk can be re.
