Car Loadings, Bank CIearings,
and Mail Order Sales Cited
as Showing Gains.
D. CosmopolItan News eervice.


NEW YORK, Nov. Brad
streets Weekly Review Of Business
said today:
1.-THE rather haclxneyed words
irregular or spotted still best de-
scribe general trade and industry.
Taken as a whole, both jobbing
trade and industry seemed to quiet
down in the latter part of October,
while retail trade, affected by rainy
weather In some sections and
sharply lower temperatures in 9TH
ers, was variously retarded or stim-
ulated.
Industry Slows Up.
Industry has undoubtedly slowed
up IN enough lines to make them
look reactionary, but in both trade
and industry, current operations
which would look active in other
years appears to be or are actually
disappointing set over against the
apparently more swiftly moving
pace or some earlier months. The
cotton and silk trades, iron and
steel, coal and oil, and to a lesser
extent In some sections, the shoe,
furniture and building trades, show
perceptible recessions.
TO a greater extent than per-
haps ever before, however, imme-
date or nearby needs govern pur-
chases, and 1t is a. tribute to the
aggregate. volume Of this sort of
buying that trade and industry
both continue to show many gains
and to swell the totals of car load
ings, bank clearings, mail order
sales and other indicia, as they
manifestly do, October clearings
We're much larger than for the
three months preceding.
Failures Are Less.
October failures were slightly
less than a year ago.
Car loadings of two weeks ago
were the fifth largest ever reported.
Mail order sales for October two
houses) were A per cent in excess
of September, "a per cent over
October year ago, and the largest
since March, 1920, facts which
throw an interesting light on the
allegations that the farmers buying
ability has been crippled or de-
stroyed.
"Other developments of the week
are rather more favorable than of
late.
Bond Market Active.
"The bond market is more active,
and prices are aided by easier
money, heavier supplies of which
are, it is reported, released by
quieter trade or industry. The
commodity markets, especially wheat
and cotton, have shown marked
strength.
1.-The continued heavy production
or automobiles does not seem to
accord with the-idea that trade and
industry as a whole are receding
materially.
THE strength Of farm product
prices of recent months has made
for a more optimistic feeling as to
the agricultural interests"

Fresh Buying Sends Prices to
Higher Levels in Today's
Short Session.
By H y. DUIZEND.
Copyright, 1928. By Cosmopolitan


NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Follow-
ing brief period Of irregularity
due to additional profit taking,
fresh buying in various directions
sent prices to higher levels in the
abbreviated session on the stock
exchange today. The attendance
both on the floor and in brokerage
houses was larger than on any
Saturday in several months past,
evidencing a real reawakening or
the speculative spirit following
such a prolonged period of mac
tIvity.>~
Although there is still a good
number of people in the financial
district, who look upon the present
upturn as an artificial one, baslng
their contention upon the lack of
tangible developments in the gen.
eral business situation, it cannot
be denied that sentiment has ma
terially improved and that some i'm
portant investment buying has been
attracted. This reviving interest
was primarily reflected in stocks,
which are credited with good divi-
dend records and in which the out
for long time TO come. such as
General Electric, Westinghouse.
Baldwin, Steel common, Studebaker,
Consolidated Gas and Stewart.
Warner.
The market showed a hesitant
tone at the opening. Realizing on
paper profits by floor traders be-
fore the weekend was a slightly
depressing factor, but pressure
from this source was soon over.
come and after short interval of
dullness the market resumed its up
ward trend under the old time
leadership OF Steel Common, which
rose close to 81. The movement
spread gradually throughout the
list, long list Of issues advancing
from 1 to points, including Davi-
son Chemical, Colorado Fuel, Amer

Car and Foundry, Dupont, Gulf
States Steel and American Inter.
national.
The great strength in Stewart
Warner was explained by the re-
ported receipt of an order amount
ing to $2,500,00O, one of the largest
in the history of that company.
Hartman was stimulated by the an
nouncement that nearly all OF the
new stock, recently offered, has
been taken by the stockholders. The
more hopeful feeling in the oil
group was attributed to the advance
in crude oil posted by a large in
dependent company. Motorsj cop
pers, sugars and tobaccos acquitted
themselves very well.
Railroad shares ruled steady to
firm. The market closed strong.
Fresh weakness in sterling attract
ed attention in a heavy foreign ex-
change market. Washington's in
formal announcement regarding this
Administrations unwillingnes to go
into the reparation conference with
its hands tied was of depressing in
fluence.
The bond list was generally steady.
Liberties and foreign governments
were not much changed, Marine 6s
made a new high in the Industrial
group, while the Seaboard Air Line
adjustment 5s stood out prominently
In the low-priced railroad division,
jumping about 2 points to a new
high for the year.

ASPECT
Receding Trend of Money
Rates Favorably Influence
Gilt-Edge Securities.
BY MUNROE. ROBERTS.
Copyright. 1929. by Cosmopolitan
= News Service.)

"a
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-With prices
pointing generally upward, trading
showed further signs of broadening
in the bond market during the past
week. With the exception Of Lib
erty bonds, which tended downward.
more uniformity in price move
ments was witnessed than for some
time.
GiIt-edged obligations were again
favorably influenced by the receding
trend Of time money rates, a feature
being the advance of some OF the
railroad issues, among which the
Union Pacific first lien and refund
ing SIS crossed par for the first
time since their issuance.
Money is Easier.
With a further easing in the
monetary situation in sight, due to
the tapering off OF seasonal de-
mands from the West and the flow
ing back to the banks of capital
released from commercial channels,
the outlook for high grade invest
ments Is unusually good.
Some speculative bonds advanced
in sympathy with the strength in
the stock market, some sharp gains
being established by issues recently
under severe pressure. Low-priced
railroad bonds were particularly IA
vored, the junior obligations OF st.
Paul bonds recovering smartly on
reassuring. statements that the full
yearly interest charges viii be fully
covered.
$1OO, ZOO, 900 Issue Planned.
Some selling appeared in the listed
issues Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company on the an
nouncement that 500, zoo, 900 of new
1ong-term bonds will be placed be-
fore investors. This large offering
looms up as very thorough test of
the market to absorb new securi-
ties.
The undertone was generally
steady In most of the European is
sues. Reports that the Cuban gov
eminent would buy part of its
outstanding bonds improved the
market for these issues. Rumors
Of new financing by the Dutch East
Indies did not disturb the price
levels Of the securities already
listed.
Liberties Weaker.
Renewed weakness in the Liberty
loan group was the only discomfort
ing development. The decline, &C
cording to the best information oh
tainable, was due more to lack
Of buying power than to any un
usual selling pressure.
New bond issues during the cur
rent week aggregated only $13, 600,
600 against $73.000,000 last week
The suspension of several new Of
ferings was attributed to the alb
eence of many investment bankers
who were In Washington, attending
the annual convention of their as
gociation.
An offering will be made or
Monday OF 100000 Province OF
Alberta, Canada, 515 per cent re.
funding bonds, due in three, five
and ten years.

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Washington, d. c., April Pres

leans to the position of Controller
in the Mardi Gras City. Such an act
will be significant of the tenseness of
the times, politically, and of the a

istration.
1t was former Senator Frelinghuy-
sen who declared in the closing days
of the last Congress that I'VE are
not going to let the southern Demo-
Gratis send the Republican party to

ed as Simon pure statement of the
feeling of red-blooded Republicans
who, like the distinguished former
Senator Of New Jersey, have discov-
cred that neglect, indifference, and
double dealing are prices that bring
disaster.
Newspaper comment on the ap-
pointment Of Charles w. Anderson Is
generally favorable. 1t is argued by
some, however, that IL 1t is done to
bolster up the prospects of President
Harding's reelection in 1924, 1t may
be too late. While, on the other
hand. many are saying: "It is never
