STOCK EXCHANGE SEEMINGLY WINS NEW CONFIDENCE
Comeback Of Prices Be- lieved To Presage Fur
 ther Upswing
By EDWARD J. CONDLON (Ry Leased Wire to Age-Herald)

 r NEW YORK, Sept. 2o.-The old ad- age of loss through hesitancy does not seem to quite fit the situation in the stock market for the week just com pleted. Traders hesitated in mid-week and prices fell, but the comeback dur ing the closing sessions smacked Of greater confidence in the ability of time since the reaction set in during the latter days of August.
 Perhaps the greatest sustaining influ- ence in the security markets was cheap money. Call money held at ? per cent all week when interior banks found that the movement of crops would not necessitate the shifting of funds from this center. Income tax day came and went with scarcely ripple on the sur face of the money market, as the bil- lion dollar turnover in government funds was chiefly a bookkeeping opera tion. In fact, the tendency of time ac- comodations this week has been to- ward lower levels, and in bankers ac- ceptances dealers reduced the discount rate asked on short bills by h of l per cent. Apparently there is little appre- hension over the money situation, egpe- cially now that France and our smaller debtors are talking ways and means as to refunding their obligations.
 German Loan Discussed
 The German loan is Delng discussed with much interest, but there has been nothing to indicate the probable time of offering beyond the tentative date of mid October mentioned some weeks ago. The reduction of Germany redis- count rate to per cent is interpreted in the light of a better feeling of con- fidence In Germany now that the allied plan. has been accepted.
 In line with the military disturbance in China the week has seen bar silver in this market rise quickly to the years high at slightly less than 70 cents an ounce. A similar gain was reported in consequent stiffening of the Asiatic ex- change rates. The prospect of further purchases by central Europe for mint ing purposes acts as a check on any appreciable declines in the market for the metal.
 Many Cross Currents
 The week in grain has been fraught with many cross currents. Wheat has been in moderately good demand, with traders eagerly watching the export fig ures and the weather map. One feature has been the firming up of the market for rye in relation to corn and barley. May rye sold at slight premium over May corn for the first time this season. One reason assigned for this Is that Russian exports will come nowhere near expected totals.
 Cotton is doing little more than back ing and filling awaiting the bureau re- port Tuesday, which will give the con- dition of the crop as of September 16. However, 1t is believed in cotton cir cles that the report will hardly reflect the full effect of the detrimental rains which have fallen in many sections of the belt, particularly. in the Atlantics. sion of new blood when 1t sees the American Woolen stocks tumbling sen- sationally.

FLORIDA LETTER
Orlando, Fla, Nov. 20, 1924

Orlando, Fla, Nov. 20, 1924.
Editor of S. C.. Herald:
Dear Friends-We are very-thank-
full to you for publishing our letter
and send another hoping it may be of
interest to our friends and others
Since writing you, we have visited
the entire whole east coast of Flor
ida. Our first stop was at Melbourne,
city of 1000 population, and Beach
which bears its name. There are
about 68 miles from Orlando, going
by Dixie Highway. Owing to incom-
pletion of this highway, which is sup
posed to be completed in the very
near future, we were taken IA miles
on a ferry over a logging railroad
track on st. Johns and Indian riv-
er. To the delight Of all tourists, this
part of the route will be abandoned
when the highway is finished. Ar
irving at the Beach we were cordial
ly received by the occupants of the
Beach Hotel and furnished with salt
water fish (mullet) meals and trim
nings at SO cents plate. These were
exceptionally fine and highly enjoyed
by US weary travellers. Our lodging
cost us $1.00. Near Melbourne City
is an artesian well, 500 feet deep,
they tell us, which furnishes sulphur
water. On the Beach hotel grounds,
are drinking fountain and swim
ming pool each of sulphur water; we
drank of the water. We saw the
ocean in many places; white-capped
waves, tide coming in and going out,
pillows, ETC., but no large ships.
IL, fho,.
pelican, sea-gull and crane, were
flying over the waters, singly and In
numbers. A small bird called serf
snipe we saw on the beach and it was
amusing to watch them running In
from the waves. Leaving here, we
journey on LOG miles to West Palm
Beach.
The Indian river runs all along the
coast to West Palm Beach, which
with it's placid waters, many piers
and small sail boats affords very
pretty sight, the scenery also APP
pears more beautiful as we proceed.
Indian river is where the fisher
men made their largest catches in
early days, they tell US. This river
is Is feet higher than the ocean. Now
we journey on over large area of
undeveloped country; the land is
mostly level and low, much water
covering it, but large dredges are
used to convey it away. The low
land raised, and in time, this may be
made very adaptable to production.
They tell us we come now to where
it is more developed and inhabitated;
passing a number of small towns; at
ono of them Fort PierSe where we
ate very good lunch and near here
we saw what they call in history the
Spanish Whipping Post. This sec

ton was originally settled by the
Spaniards; any misdemeanor among
them was settled by taking the poor
unfortunate to this post and whipping
him. 1t stands very near to the high
way, is a wood cross about IL feet
er of stone, or SO it appeared. Well,
this did not leave pleasant i'm
preston with US and we were glad,
to proceed. We noticed large pine,
apple plantations in this section. The
banaban is also raised quite extern
sively throughout Florida. Here al
so we saw a native Seminole Indian
Jaurneying along we see the beauti-
full cocoanut trees and the Royal
Palms growing and very peculiar
feature is that the trees grow slant
ing owing to the constant blowing of
the ocean breezes against them. We
see Jupiter's lighthouse on the Allan
tic and Jupiter's inlet from the
ocean. We are now Ia miles from
West Palm Beach and we see in the
distance the lights of the beautiful
Royal Palm Hotel, situated on the
shores of Bay Biscayne, believe an
arm of the ocean. This hotel con-
tains 1900 rooms, the dining room
will seat 1000 persons; the rates,
$4,000 a day, 1--WE did not hover here
long).' West Palm Beach is beau
tiful city and prosperous; it is Civ
en- over to commercial business. Res
idential Palm, Beach is Just across the
bay from West Palm Beach. 1t is
very beautiful and aristocratic look
ing city. Leaving West Palm Beach,
we passed through a prosperous coun-
try, and towns built on this route I'm
til we finally reach Hollywood, by the
sea. This is only three years old,
is the starting of beautiful, modern,
up-to-the-minute city, and, it is said,
promises to eclipse anything yet seen
in Florida. 1t is delightfully."- located
both on the ocean and inland and
will have the facilities of both ocean
and land. 1t is the only city in East
Florida directly on the ocean. No
bay lies in front OF it. The other
cities are confronted by the bays and
have bridges and causeways to span.
Hollywood has four miles of clear
ocean beach. They are building con-
crete walks there now thirty feet
wide-have one mile of it completed.
There of course will be built bath
houses, casinoes, etc., that will cost

a system of developing large,
artificial lakes and lagoons, for the
pleasure of inhabitants. This is where
Orlando and vicinity excel, having
its national lakes and scenery. Holly
wood has between forty and fifty
miles each of White Way and paving.
The streets are 120 feet wide. Their
White Way was a beautiful sight for
us upon entering the city at night and
could be seen far far away. We
stopped at the Hollywood Hotel. 1t
is a building of sc rooms white

alike. We were 10th to leave the

beautiful place. The country all
through this section is as level as a
floor. Our next stop was at Miami,
the prosperous and wealthy city of
the south. Coming towards it we
motored over a natural bridge of
rock formed of the Ojins rock of
this section, over creek 20 feet
wide named Gods Creek. There is
also the town Ojins here. A story
was told us of how. it received its
name. 1t runs like this: "a stranger
passing through the country met a
native and asked him the name of
this rock, he says, 'O'iins Rock, so the
rock and city were named Ojins. !"
Cocoanut groves, near Mama, is a
fine residential section. In Miami,
are many of these Ojins rock houses
built in Spanish and Moorish design
and are very elaborate and beautiful.
The Spanish and Moorish architecture
prevails, also in Orlando, Hollywood
and other places. The roofs are
flat with turrets extending from
them. We motored along millionaire
row viewing palatial residences and
grounds. Were much interested in
seeing VIM. j. Bryan's estate (now
sold). The house is of rock of
square design in two parts. The
dense foliage of trees on grounds
prevented us from seeing much else
of it. We passed a beautiful house
where hung two gold lamps at gate
and house enterances worth $4,000
each. l do not know if this is auth
entic. The story was told US. TT e
fence around the Bryan residence is
formed of the chain of the Battleship
Maine. 1t is of heavy design and
thickness and many feet long. A
philanthropic multi-millionaire bache-
lor of Miami( name not learned)
leaves his entire estate, upon his de-
mise, to widows and orphans of
members of the Masonic Order.
We sojurned at or near a Congre-
gational church in Miami, built of
Ojins Rock and built by a man
(name not learned). He spent 20
years building it. Around the
grounds is a high wall of rock,
beautifully formed and towering
vines growing over it; they also reach
over the roof of this church on many
parts of it. A peculiar thing is that
we have seen vines with flowers grow
ing right out of rock. They told US,
a certain kind of rock produces them.
All the way from Hollywood to Mi
ami is very interesting. Many pros
porous towns and one place in par
ticular, we wish to speak of is the La
Porte Gerdens which cover many
acres. On these as far as can be
seen, are Florida's choicest flowers,
shrubbery and thees grown. One vast
panorama, so to say of natural
beauty. 1t may be worthy of men
ton that Orlando's popula-
ton is composed of many northern
people, mostly from the New England
and our own states. Have met few
from other states and California. Cal
ifornians say the Florida climate ex-
cells that of their own state. We
also meet people from Canada.
Thanking you, we are very respect
fully,
Mr.. and Mrs. M. j. Joyce.

regarded it as white elephant" and
criticized the railroads for building it
so big. If those sages could return
and view the new one, to be opened
soon, expressing utility and service in
the highest terms, they would be
struck dumb with amazement. This
project covers 35 1-3 acres and the
ground is valued at $1,0O0OO0 per

To make room for it, scores of
buildings had to be wrecked; IA via

street was elevated several feet and
widened 20 feet for about one mile,
and a tremendous amount of excavat-
