Spiced nuts are an agreeable variation
of the more common sailed nuts, and are
a delicious accessory to the Thanksgiving
dinner. Use equal quantities of raw
peanuts and almonds. Blanch, remove
skins, dry thoroughly and fry in deep fat
until a golden brown. Drain on crushed
tissue paper, and while still hot sprinkle
with 4 mixture of one part salt to two
of mixed spices.

Industrial Division Shows
Greatest Strength; Many
Shares Score Advances Of
One to- Several Points

Speculative activity inspired by tho
settlement of the anthracite strike
a unperturbed by the possible ex.
ision IN sympathetic strikes Of
labor's opposition to the iniunction
restraining the shopmen from interfer.
ing with transportation, boosted the
general level OF stock prices in yester-
days trading to the highest point of
the ysar. Gains ranging from one TO
several points were recorded by MANY
stocks, the greatest appreciation oc-
currlng in the industrial division on
transactions that fell not far short
OF million-share proportions.
The upward progress of prices was
not accomplished without resistance.
but the spasmodic selling by profes-
stonal operators on the theory that the
market, having, in it's earlier advance.
discounted the termination OF labor
d'fiiculties, was technically right for
reaction upon contamination of that
eventuality, was ineffective when
measured against the confidence of
buying. Reports on coal production
and statements of the carriers that
they are prepared to meet the demand
for coal movement were among tho
items of the news that buoyed homes
of an accelerated business recovery
upon the outlook for which the en-
hancement in value of corporate stocks
has been largely builded.
Trading in bonds was quieter and
their strength less clearly registered
In rising quotations than in the specu-
iatiye department. The frmer tone of
Liberty bonds attracted most attention
particularly since maintenance of the
call loan rate at Az per cent demon
strated that relaxation from the tight
conditions of money incident to The
usual monthly disturbance was not vet
accomplished.
The foreign exchanges were steadv
as neither developments abroad nor
offerings of bills contributed the basis
for Aux. The makeshift agreement
giving temporary relief to Germany
is admittedly unsatisfactory, but it
does afford breathing spell, and the
market for the moment is inclined to
await more definite signs of progress
toward decision.
Cotton declined rather sharply under
liquidation associated with Southern
hedging operations and finished with
net losses of 80 to % points. Wheat,
in contrast, responded to heavy
European purchases over the weekend
and, although somewhat unsettled at
the close was "a TO s cent higher
than the final quotations of Saturday.

For good part of yesterdays mar
ket session rights to subscribe to the

Steel common stock were quoted at 81
u share. This was while the stock was
selling between 9T and 9S. just why
the rights should have such value

were unable to explain. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the present stock,

l. & G. N. Sale Denied

A report that financial interests iden-
titled with the Frisco had purchased
control of the international e. Great
Northern, emanating this time from
Chicago, again brought forth denial
yesterday by the bankers and by the
former company. The persistence of
this rumor apparently persists from
the fact that such merger of interest
would be not merely feasible but ad-
vantageous from many standpoints, al
though the same conditions would ap-
ply to absorption of the l. G. G. N. by
the Missouri Pacific or one or two
other carriers, At present, the /. g. G.
N. is only just emerging from diff
ficult period-even the reconstruction
of its personnel remains to be effected
and it seems hardly probably that
any arrangement will be entered into
for it's sale until the property has
demonstrated reasonable ability to
stand on it's own feet.

Regular aMex Pete Dividends

Declaration of the regular quarterly
dividend Of SO "A share by the Mexican
Petroleum directors yesterday was ;"s
answer to recent reports that the rate
wo1ld be increased at this time. The
action of the stock indicated that there
was considerable difference of opinion
among the speculative element regard
ing the present worth OF the stock.
From a low of 191 it spurted upward TO
10S and then fell back at the close to
19415, which represented a net gain of
fss points over Saturdays last sale.
The company's profits and sales last
month were the largest in it's history,
according to semi-official reports.
Production for the first three days of
September amounted to 37l,000 barrels,
or about 1874 900 barrels a day. Il was
said that Mexican fuel oil producers
are contemplating II further advance in
the price of their product.

Northern paclfie's Crop Movement

Officials of the Northern Pacific
estimate that the total crop movement
over the company's lines this year will
total 81 600 cars, contrasted with 43,00S
ears in 1921 aad 1924 cars in 1920
This substantial increase is attributed
to the greatly improved conditions on
the eastern end Of the road, where the
crop yield is expected to be the largest
since 1915. The sugar beet crop in Mon
tana is reported to be the best in FIVE
years. Gross revenues for the first two
weeks OF August totaled $3.90000o,
against $3,T64.e42 for The corresponding
period of last year. Great Northern's
gross was $4,100,000, against s4,14s,9Sl
for the first half of August, 1921.

Guaranteeing German Notes

Reports from abroad that Belgium
might require Germany to provide the
guaranty of an American, British or
Dutch bank for the notes which she
has agreed to take in lieu of cash dur
ing the next six months on reparations
account were regarded as rather con.
fusing in local banking circles. 1t was
pointed out that no American bank or
private banking house could undertake
such guaranty, and the suggestion
was made that what was meant in.
volved rather an arrangement by Ger
many with foreign banks whereby the
latter would agree to discount the
notes. There was full agreement that
talk of guaranteeing payment of the
notes was nonsense

Money and Credit

Call money opened and renewed at
Az per cent yesterday, and held at
that rate throughout the session. The
firmness incident to the first of the
month disbursements was still in force
but was felt in more moderate degree.
Time funds were relatively quiet, as
lenders maintained rates at point
slightly above what most borrowers
were willing to pay. The bid rate was
generally n per cent below the asked
and it was significant of the business
done that in most instances the higher
charge prevailed.

PALATKA DAILY NEWS

Winter residents and visitors in
Cescent City who had their origin
in New England are planning the
organization of New England club.
A meeting will be held at the
iSprague House on Tuesday after
noon next, January 10, at 8 o'clock,
for the purpose of considering plans
for the organization and all New
England people in the city are cor
daily invited to attend this meet
ing. The club will probably be or
ganized at this time, and all who
come from any of the New England
states will be eligible to member
ship. The object of the club is to
foster mutual acquaintance, promote
good fellowship and hold frequent
social gatherings at regular inter
walls. There are perhaps so or 60
residents in Crescent City who came
from some one of the New England
states, and few, if any, are trying to
forget the fact. One of the purposes
of the proposed club is to help you
keep your origin in mind. New Eng
land is great section of our COM
mon country, even though it has a
cold, forbidding climate a large
part of the year. 1t has furnished
it's full quota of great men and wom-
en-, some few of whom have come to
Crescent City to thaw out. Of the
great names traceable to New Eng
land, there occurs to us a few who
stand out as preeminent in politics,
religion, finance, reform and liter
ature, such as Daniel Webster, Ben
Butler, Bill Nye, Ponzi, James G.
elaine, Lodge, Lyman Beecher, Mary
Baker, Glover Eddy, Harriet Beech
err Stowe, Lydia Pinkham, Louise M.
Alcott, ad infinitum, with more to
follow. 1t is hoped that everyone
who can honestly claim New Eng
land as their home or former home
will turn out and help launch this
