New York, Sept. 2O.-Profcssional
sentiment continued bearish in the
market today and most of the initia-
tive was on the short side.
\ sharp advance in the sugar group
buoyed up the general list through the
forenoon. Then American Wool
flunked badly and the steel and motor
shares when attacked, yielded very
readily. This encouraged in the last
half hour or so the extension of the
selling into other quarters. Baldwin

the day. dropped below 115. Dupont
came down ) points from its morning
high. There was. however. no general
weakness at the close. Many stocks
were holding up quite well.
No explanation appeared for the
sharp break in American Wool beyond
what has been known for sometime.
namely. that in certain important
spring lines, the demand has been dis
appointing. There was no suggestion
that this will affect the common divi-

port when it was offered down today.
The sugar stocks were the strongest
of any group. partly rs the result of
the remarkable advance in sugar nrices
and partly because of the expectation
that other companies will follow the
example of the Cuban American and
nut their stocks back on dividend
basis. Resides the Punta Allegro. it
is expected that Manati Sugar will be
one OF those to resume payments.
The situation with regard to Cuba

Original French Manuscript Of Opera
Basis Of Legal Dispute.

Paris. Sept. 20.-The original
French manuscript of "Rigoletto" has
been seized by the notice. acting under
authority of the French courts. in
the offices of the Opera Theater.
The legal dispute in connection
with which the seizure was made
dates back to 1868 when Victor Hugo,
then in exile in the Jersey Islands.
vainly protested against production
of "Rigoletto" on the grounds that
it had been stolen from his own
play lie Roi S'Amuse. and then
decided to resort to the French tribuh-
ais for satisfaction.
The heirs of the poet have kept
the case on the court calendar.

jointly by that firm and the Ala

Numerous calls We're made upon

lowed for receiving radio messages

the station were rendered to The

Alabama Power company was broad :
casting messages to it's various sta

RENOM|NAT ION Of;
HARDING FORECAST.
IN UPPER CHAMBER
Watson Denies He Has AS
pirations to White House.
Harrison Claims Republi-
can Ranks Are Split

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Prediction
that President Harding would be re-
nominated by a unanimous vote OF
the republican national convention in
1924, was made in the Senate today
by Senator Watson OF Indiana, one
of the republican leaders of that
body and one of those whose names
have been mentioned in connection
with the partys nomination next
tyear.
Senator Watson, in the course OF
a reply to Senator Harrison, demo-
crat. Mississippi who had declared
that the recent designation of Sena-
tors Wadsworth OF New York and
Lenroot of Wisconsin as assistant
republican leaders was directed
against the possible presidential can
didacy of the Indiana senator. said
that when 1924 comes around the
republican party will stand united
and militant and will without a dis
senting vote, renominate President
Harding.
Lodge Replies.
Referring to statement that Sem
ator Wadsworth was to represent the
conservative and Senator Lenroot
the progressive wing of the republi-
can party, Senator Harrison said that
IL all republican wings were to be
represented there would have to be
more than two assistant leaders.
Senator Lodge also replied to SEN
ator Harrison, eclaring that in
reality he had created no new offices
in the republican organization of the
Senate and had appointed no assist
ant leaders, but that he had repeat
edly asked advice and would con-
tinue to do so.
The republican leader took occa-
sion to praise Senator Curtis, in
whom he said the republican party in
the Senate never have had a more
painstaking or harder working whip"
and Senator Watson. of whom he
said there was no senator here with
whom l have consulted more or
whose advice l have more often
taken"
Claims Democrats Divided.
Senator Lodge directed the atten-
ton of Senator Harrison to the fight
for leadership on the democratic
side of the Senate chamber and said
there were numerous species of dem
ocrats, there to be satisfied also.
Senator watson, who before to-
days discussion began hid conferred
with President Harding at the White
House, told his colleagues that he
not only believed Mr.. Harding should
be renominated, but was in favor of
reelection of Senator Lodge as re-
publican leader, IL the Massachusetts
senator desired it.
The Indiana senator added that hi
had not thought to be assistant floor
leader.
$50 far as the republican party is
concerned. there is no division as to
national leadership, and no discord
as to leadership in the Senate" he
declared.
