ELECTION HAS NO EFFECT ON MARKET I
Advances Which Set In Week Ago Still Continue-Prices
 Are Still Strong
By WALTER B. BROWN deased Wire To Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, Nov. Tt cannot be said that the elections made much of an impression on the stock mar ket. as they were based mostly on local issues
 What Wall street was most anxious about was whether the advance which set in week ago would be maintained and this proved to be the case; that is, the progress thus far is still held, although in today s market the gains and losses for the day were about equal At no time was there any evidence of weakness but especially in the early trading were there evidences. of. strength.
 The separations negotiations have ceased to be an immediate factor as matter of playing for position and until there Is something in the nature of real accomplishment, Wall street will continue to regard the European situation as one of merely casual in terest.
 Turning to domestic conditions, it is true, as the Iron Age reports that there is some slowing down of steel production, but there is also prob ability of increased car buying by the iailroads while present output of the mills is going directly into consump- ton.
 No Buying For Reserves.
 There is no buying for reserves to speak of, so there is no reason wAy the present T te of demand should be materially decreased. For that to come about there would have to be a real slump in business, some thing that would be recognized out side of Wall street; in other words something real and tangible. Is there anything like this in sight? What reason have we for thinking 1t might come about? It is easier to answer these questions from the op- posite angle.
 There are number of reasons why the slump will not come to pass Credit is ample; buying power is sood all over the country; the agri- cultural sections have ceased to cry poverty; cotton is higher than at any time since 1920, and will in all prob ability go still higher; building op- erations in large cities continue ac- tive and despite all the predictions of the pessimists, the demand for automobiles keeps up.
 Urges Taxation Decrease.
 There is one way business f,n be improved and prosperity assured for an indefinite period. That is by a decrease in taxation The demand for downward revision is growing steadily. Let it be emphasized If every reader of these lines will take time enough to sit down and write a letter to his congressman and his senator insisting that tax revi- sion be made the paramount issue at the coming session of Congress and that governmental expenditures be kept down to a minimum, it will have tremendous effect.
 Congress is keenly sensitive to letters from back home, especially when they bear in given direc- tion. At the same time it would be just as well to express your opinion on the bonus question. Let Congress know whether you are willing to dig down in your pocket for the addi- tional taxes to pay the bonus.

NEW YORK. Nov. 7-Proft taking and professional selling caused some irregu- larity in prices today but it seemed safe to say that the advance started last week has dispelled the pessimistic feeling which has been hanging over the market and has. been replaced by feeling of op- timism toward spring business, which is reflected ln very strong accumulation of stocks.

Our markets opened irregular 50 lower to unchanged from Tuesdays close and ruled very nervous with an upward of the months selling as high as 34 cents m the New York market and around that p prIee Tn New Orleans. The volume of trade was very large on both sides, how ever. Most of the selling was profit talk ing and evening up for the census gin- ture in todays market was the National Sianers report, estimating ginnings at sumption report of 52s 900. The National Ginners pointed to a crop under 10000, 900, ss it is doubtful if there remains much more than 2.oo0,OOo to be ginned. After an excited day in the cotton market finals tations generally unchanged to 75 points higher. prices ranging from 32.75c at ernment's ginnings report will be issued at the opening tomorrow and the trade is expecting it to be near the National Gin ners' figures, and today's advance prob ably discounts this expectation.

As result our market opened at the highest prices of the season and displayed remarka ble strength during the day, Our advices from Manchester continue optimistic, but there seems to be a distinct falling off in the demand from Liverpool in our mar ket today The situation at the moment is undoubtedly strained owing to the acute shortage of the Ayerican supply. At the same time 1t seems to that rapid an advance as we have had in the past week entities the market to a pause for reflection and we would not be surprised to see a sharp reaction at any time. We are rapidly coming to the point where supply news will cease to dominate the market which will now come more and more under the influence of demand. It is difficult to judge at what price con sumption will be checked, but tempor- arily we are inclined to be cautions until we can see more plainly the exact effect or the recent sharp advances.

 The reaction proved short lived and buying increased in the afternoon on re- ports of increased activity in the dry goods markets at advancing prices and bullish cables from Liverpool Best prices were made on this buying. Sentiment is vance appears likely if the census bureau confirms private forecasts. but we feel the market has reached a level where cau- tion on the long side is advisable.-Fen- ner & Beane.
 NEW YORK. Nov. 7.--The big advance in the New Orleans market yesterday was more than met by Liverpool, and all sorts ing Profit taking by satisfied longs brought a fair reaction, but the issuance of very small ginning figures estimating very heavy buying. which promptly took care of all profit taking. One report was that % to dy and freely. Worth street reported rather sharp advances and the feeling is growing there that dry goods will follow the advance. While prices appear high, the situation seems so critically bullish that prices seem destined to reach even higher levels unless there is brought about a heavy cur tailment by American mills, of which at this time there are some vague rumors but no tangible evidence. Around the 30 cents lelsl for cotton to the spinner it is any one guess as to what price will stop consumption.

OCEAN CITY NEWS.

Mayor William McCabe and family
have left the City for Florida, where
they will remain for several weeks
until Mr.. McCabe's health is fully re-

The new Post Office at Ocean City

and it manifested itself in life of

where she continued her unceasing
labors
Her last activities were in Phila-

Mrs. Alfred Birmingham, who is seri-

from these ministrations when she
was stricken in Baltimore. Her life
was full of human interest and activl-

pause in her work to minister to those
who needed her.
Ocean City has lost a business

ject it would have to move and move
quickly.
The hour of meeting over, President
Parker of the Pocomoke Club, an
Eounced that an adjournment to the
Municipal building was in order,
where a sumptuous dinner was served.
This consisted of oyster cocktail,
baked chicken, cold ham, potatoes,
green peas, celery, biscuits, rolls, jel-
lies, pickles, coffee, ice cream and
cake. It is useless to say full justice
was done to this meal.
Again, the proceedings here were
unique. The dinner began with a
song, the company being led by an
enthusiastic Rotarian. Speeches in
tcrspersed the courses, and here life
and good cheer seemed to be the order
of the day.
Those who talked were: Ralph
Grier, president of the Salisbury Club;
C. M. Freeman, secretary and treas
urer of Salisbury Chamber of Com
merce; Dr. w. N. Palmer, president
Of Easton Club; William j. Peyton,
president of Crisfeld Club; George
Lumb, governor of the Saith district of
Rotarians; Loire c. Quinn, Jr., Girls
fields hustling editor and aspiring
politician; and William Allen, of
Salisbury.
The keynote Of all these speeches
was teamwork, cooperation, organi-
cation, sociability,-a brotherly atti-
tude to all members.
Gov. Lumb called upon every men,
Der of the local club to stand up, give
his name, and the name by which he
would like to be known, and he
(Lumb) would tell his classification.
The visitor had certainly learned his
lesson well; for without hesitation he
told the business of all the members
of this town, as soon as the name was
handed him.
The Governor emphasized the need
of good acquaintanceship and said all
Rotarians must be known to each 9TH
or by their first name or a nick name.
AS "George" had to leave shortly
after 8 P. M, ae was forced to take
his departure soon after his talk,
much to the regret of the crowd.
The meeting then adjourned, all
voting it most successful Inaugural
