Great Britain takes woman suffrage
more seriously than it is taken here,
where we allow them to vote, but APP
parently, don't think much of them in
public office.
Forty-one women are candidates
for Parliament in this election. They
include mobile women" with assorted
titles, one lady formerly domestic
servant, and one stenographer. What
ever you think about the British, you
must admit that they possess a genu.
inc brand of democracy.

The Full Dinner Pail' is old-fash-
toned. The Brotherhood of Railway
and Steamship Clerks" etc say they
don't care so much about white col
lars for themselves, but they must
have silk stockings for their wives.
President e. r. Fitzgerald says
that women feel inferior when not
well dressed, and every workman's
wife should have three pairs of silk
stockings a year So she should, and
the railroads will probably arrange it,
rather than have strike.
You can get very good silk stock
ings for $500 pair (see advertise
ments in this newspaper), so that
that would only amount to an in
crease of 2 cents a day in wages.
The interesting thing is that the
workmen are now worrying about
their wives happiness, rather than
about themselves. That's spiritual
progress.

 RULE AT FINISH
 OF STOCK MART
Efforts Of Pool Managers Are Threatened By
 Profit Taking
By EDWARD J. CONDLON fLeaaed Wire fO The e-HeraId)

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Irregularity, with lower prices finally ruling at the finish, marked proceedings in the stock market on Thursday. Heavy profit taking following the rapid run-up of prices during the last few days served to thwart efforts of pool managers and others interested on the constructive side of the market. However, the de- cline in carrier shares was considerably less than that of industrials, due, in part, to the car loading figures for the week ended September 1S. which were received by the American Railway asso- citation.
 The report showed that more cars were loaded with revenue freight during that week than during any other week so far this year. The total was 1,061,- 424 cars, or an increase of 140,445 cars over the preceding week, when loadings were reduced by the observance of Labor Day. The total for the week was only 35,S50 cars below the record for all time, which was for the week of Sep tember q, 1923.
 New Highs Made N
 The day was not without new high records for the year, Nash Motors, Con- solidated Gas, Maxwell B, Intern national Telephone and Studebaker being in this class. Some disappointment was expressed over the failure of directors of the Wa bash railway to take action on the re- sumption of dividends on the Glass A preferred stock, on which no payments have been made since 1918. The stock finished 1A points net lower. It is more than a year since traders began to anticipate the resumption of pay ments. During the first eight months of ths~year the road has recorded a slight increase in the net operating in- come.
 Cotton Overcomes Loss
 Cotton overcame the setback of the previous day by a wide margin when 1t moved forward $4 to $5 bale on news of adverse weather conditions in Georgia and the South Atlantics and the unfavorable forecast for overnight in many sections of the belt. The mar ket is now running true to expectations; 1t has become a weather affair.
 The grain markets were unsettled, with corn fluctuating rapidly and trad ing in wheat favorably influenced by better export inquiry. One estimate winter and spring wheat, part Mani tobas' ayA1 800 O00 bushels, chiefly for the United Kingdom.
 Minor changes were registered in the leading exchange rates, with the Euro peans inclined to be fractionally lower under the leadership of sterling. Ar genuine pesos reached a new high for the year on active support. Argentine's exports of grain, meat and wool have sold for much higher prices in the mar kets of the world than last year, so that the demand for the peso has naturally been greatly increased.

of crude petroleum. The truth Is prob ably in a mid-position.
 This is true-gasoline stocks not only are much greater than they were a year ago, with demand failing to in- crease proportionately but also have been steadily piling up. On the other hand, production of crude oil has been checked until 1t is running about 2 per cent below the levels of a year back. Nevertheless, crude stocks are still enormous. :t4
 The bright ray of the whole situation Is to be seen in the efforts to bring crude production under better control. An evidence of this effort is to be seen in the chart above which shows the number of new producing wells drilled and completed by months. The trend has been distinctly downward.
 It thus appears that present develop ments are somewhat in the right di- rection and that the oil industry, if 1t passes through the normally critical months of October and November, will continue to show improvement which may, however, come slowly.
