U. s. TO PROSPER
 DESPITE RESULT
 OF THE ELECTION
Cheap Money Is One Of The Causes, Condlon
 Says
By EDWARD J. CONDLON

NEW YORK, Nov. 1-The vigorous rally in stock market prices at the ciose of the week has been ascribed by some to political causes, and by others to the gradual broadening of trade beyond the purely seasonal improvement. Many others declare both factors are respon- sible. But glance over the records reveals that much the same perform ance has taken place in other election years. In short, the period following an election is popularly supposed to mark a change in the conduct or af- fairs, but unless all present indications fail, this country Is in for period Of prosperity, no matter which one of the two historic parties finds itself in com mand.
 Cheap money, a new high record for railroad car loadings. steady increase in buying in various lines and the cheerful tone of the mecantile review for the week were the chief causes of the increase in public participation in the security market at the close of the week, which sent the turnover in the stock market on Friday we'll above a million shares.
 Sterling Rises
 That the financial community has taken cognizance of the British election with its sweep of the conservatives into power and the evident discomfiture of the labor party, was evidenced by the rapid rise in sterling, the gain during Saturdays short session of business amounting to cents.
 Banking conditions throughout the country during the week showed ob- vious improvement. Bank clearings for the week were some per cent, accord ing to the monthly survey of the fed eral reserve bank of New York, loans and investments of member banks in the leading cities were substantially in- creased. The increased commercial loans reflected the credit demand for the financing of crop movements and the autumnal activity of trade.
 Metals Primer
 One of the notable features of the money market during the week was that the day for paying subscriptions of some $100, 900 on the new Ger man bonds came and went without a furry in money rates to denote the movement of such a sum. It now ap- pears quite likely that the transfer of these funds to Germany will begin at an early date. In the event that DOT ton of the proceeds of the loan are placed on deposit here for any consid- erable period, 1t would be subject, of course to the wiches of the Reichsbank.
 The firmer metal markets have given rise to reports that the German pur- chases were being made on a major scale, but it must be remembered that copper and other metals have been ship ped to central Europe, sometimes at shippers order, awaiting the time when German cash was available for it's purchase and use.

STOCKS

2.
 NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-The advances of Friday and Saturday have placed the stock market, especially with re- gard to the more volatile issues, such as American Can, U. s. Steel, Baldwin. Mack Truck and to a lesser extent Sears Roebuck and American Shelters, in a position where many traders have comfortable trading profits, and 1t IS quite possible that further strength Monday might meet not little profit taking. There are apprehensions over the result of the approaching election, but In many quarters the idea prevails that the current strength has discounted the election and that, therefore, it would be good policy to stand aside temporarily until the trend of the mar ket is discernible. It was reported in financial circles this morning that as result, of the recent New Jersey court decision on U. 8. Cast Iron Pipe, Sloss Sheffield may pay $2 per share back divi- dends on its non-cumulative preferred stock. It was also stated that the Sea- board Air Line has denied any attempt to gain control of the A. B. & A. Steiner, Rouse & Stroock.

feeling the after-effects of not having observed prohibition, then not in force. He bounced on this young apprentice. and as Atterbury was not at fault. words followed.
 The gang foreman promptly reported the youth to the shop foreman, who sent for Atterbury. Conscious that he was in the right, and conscious also that he was worth fully the seven cents he was then being paid, AtterbVry marchedaeup prepared to throw down his tools and quit if trounced.
 After a friendly greeting, the shop foreman began to talk in a quiet fath- erly way. Don't forget" the foreman impressed him. That although you may not be. able to respect the man under whom you are directly working. you must respect his position and do what you are told. because he is the rep resentative of authority, and unless you discipline and without discipline there can be no organization and without organization nothing can succeed"
 He suggested that Atterbury go back and apologize to the foreman.
 "I recognized the soundness of the ; position the shop foreman took, and readily agreed to apologize" General Atterbury told me. This incident taught me two things. It taught me
  it also taught me how subordfnates should be treated to gain their co-oD- eration and good will"
 Judging by how far he has risen. At terbury learned both lessons well.
 Several federal reserve bank gover- nors have written comments on this columns suggestion that all commerG, ial paper be registered. Extracts will be given later.
 New York is becoming less unpopu- lar throughout the country. New York deserves to become more popular, for New. York itself has become more friendly. more hospitable, more thought full.
 The city will shortly have another opportunity to show It's interest in an other part of the country. A great southern exposition Is to be held at the Grand Central palace in January. Nearly every southern state plans to put it's best foot foremost to show the metropolis what it can produce and how far it has progressed
 The south has suffered through It's failure to bring home to the rest of fhes country the transformation 1t has Nndergone.e There is no reason today Byhv the south should not be able to faise hundreds of millions of capital on In6 most dtLTaCLIV0 LtiIul1s uC south that exists in the memory and imagination of the north has passed. A new south, a vigorous. industrious. energetic. enterprising south. has grown up. f.
 The south needs to take leaf out of California's book; 1t needs to use more printers ink. The exposition now being arranged should, If properly handled, do much to open the eyes of New Workers and visitors from all parts of the country to what the new south is and has.
 The exposition is headed bv William G. Shrine. one of the ablest citizens of South Carolina. while thirteen eov- ernors are identified with 1t.
 The warning sounded in this column some time ago still holds good. Don't go short of the United States. This warning applies to business men, as well as those who dabble in stocks.

DEMAND FOR STEEL
 CONTINUES TO LAG
Evidence Of Confidence Relative To Future Seen, However

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The demand for steel during the past week continued to reflect a prediction hesitation on the part of the buyers. There were, however, evidences of confidence rela- tive to the future and in some cases buyers were beginning to anticipate their requirements and orders were slightly more numerous. Moreover, prices developed more evidence Of sta bility and in some quarters there was a tendency to look for firmer market for the first quarter of the new year High iron was quite. although on the whole, more business was placed and the tone of the market was somewhat steadier.
 Copper has shown continued firmness Recent buying has been followed by g slackening of demand, accompanied by reports that consumers needs have been pretty well covered for the balance of this year and some further re-selltne has been reported in Europe. Pro- ducers, however, seem confident or an improving democratic demand after the election, while optimism over the European outlook has been encouraged by the recent action of London mar kets, and prices have been generally well maintained, at the 1874 cent level with some sellers making 13Mc for for ward delivery. ,..
 Tin again moved above 5S cents in consequence of recent good buying by consumers, indications of favorable monthly statistics and the. firmness in London.
 Lead was somewhat less active, but producers generally are well booked ahead. Midwest offerings have in creased somewhat? but antimonial lead remains scarce.
 Zinc was firmer, mainly in sympathy with the strength abroad, although 8 fair inquiry is reported from consumers
 Antimoney,. firmer owing to light offerings of spot, but business is light and limited to nearby requirements only.
