have been stabilized, and it becomes

Problems to BE Solved.
The party has been reelected which
favors tariff wall high enough to
keep cheaply produced foreign goods
from the American market. The wis
dom Of this policy is not a question
proper to discuss in this place. But
there can be no doubt that conti-
mental Europe, on its feet again, with
a deprecated currency, with very low
wages as compared with ours, and
with low standards of living, has an
advantage in the competitive markets
outside of our own, which it will be
very hard to overcome
The menace of German competition
about which such stir was made
four years ago, did not at that time
turn out as expected because the vio-
lent fluctuations in the mark made 1t
almost impossible for outside coun-
tries to trade with Germany. But it
Is very real menace, now that the
currency of Germany Is to be reor-
ganized on basis which will make
1T safe to deal with her again.
Profit Margin Vital.
The other question is as to wheth-
er, even under the protective system
prices of manufactured goods can be
raised sufficiently to offset the greatly
increased labor and other costs and
re-establish satisfactory margin
of profit.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November S.-Antlci-
pations of what would happen after
the elections have been pretty well
borne out in the past weeks opera
tions on the stock exchange.
Although the election results were
no different from what had been look
ed for a month ahead. it was found
that the outside public had really
been waiting and had not been ac-
ceptipg, like professional Wall street,
the very strong forecasts. The" as
surance that the present transporta-
ton law was not likely to be inter-
fered with, and that its safeguards
for investors in railway securities
were to remain intact. has had an i'm
mense significance. 1t has made the
oId-time dividend-paying railway
shares attractive again to invest
ment capital. 1t has opened up to
speculative imagination vista of
great railway consultations being
pushed through to conclusion, and Of
the inauguration of dividends in many
instances where nothing has been dis
tributed hitherto.
Almost Unprecedented Demand.
Barring the brief period of a few
weeks after the armistice, there has
been no such market for railway
stocks since 1909. That year was a
year of great railway consultations,
but, as it turned out subsequently,
these were outside the law. The pres
ent situation is quite the reverse in
that the Government, instead of op-
posing combinations among the car
riers, is doing all in it's power to en-
courage them.
But there is this essential point to
consider, namely, that the privately
conceived mergers of Is years ago
were worked out on terms involving
large profits to the promoters and to
their speculative following who were
wise enough or fortunate enough to
diagnose what was going on. The
railway mergers now in prospect are
of a very different sort They will
not allow any fictitious increase Of
capitalization or the putting together
of the stocks of the combining prop
critics at inflated prices.
More Dividends for Shareholders.
Hence there are nothing like the
same speculative possibilities in pres

Demand Chief Factors in

CHICAGO. November S.-Lively up
turns in the value of grain have
taken place this week, based more
or less on optimistic views of the
after r-election business outlook and
on greatly improved export demand
for wheat and rye. Wheat this morn
ing, compared with a week ago,
showed 5A to s% bulge. with corn
z to rs up. oats at to 2Aa2k ad-
vance. and provisions varying from
AZ decline to a rise of 72.
Turn After Election.
Prior to the election wheat was
displaying downward tendency, in
nuenced by selling preparatory to
the election holiday and also owing
TO the fact that the United States
visible supply of wheat had increased
to total of nearly 10000, 900 bushels.
Besides, there was something of a
luH in export business, European
buyers apparently holding off for the
time being. After the election, how
ever, a general broadening of activ-
ity on the buying side of the market
set In, and before the day which fol-
lowed the national ballot was ended
the climbing of values had already
gone beyong average limits.
ihofe edsed demand for f1our was one
or the notable circumstances ascribed
70 removal OF election uncertainty.
Meanwhile adverse crop conditions in
the southern hemisphere, particular
iy Argentina and Australia, gave a.
decided stimulus to export buying.
Failing off in the volume of domestic
receipts west and southwest also was
noted, with the Northwest movement
predicted to dwindle within a fort
night.
Curtailed unofficial estimates of the
1924 yield of corn helped to lift the
price of corn and oats. The main
factor, however, in strengthening
the market for feed grains was the
accelerated buying of &the bread
stuffs, wheat and rye.
Indications of a shortage of hogs
during the Winter unsettled the pro-
vision market.

Strongheart, the wonder dog, star

Perhaps is it because "The Love

Strongheart is undoubtedly the
leading member of the east by right
of the ability he displays, but the
picture was not built up around

FEAR MEXICAN
REBEL LEADER
LOST IN STORM

NEW ORLEANS, Mar. 2G,-Con-
siderable mystery Goday surrounded
the whereabouts of Adolfo de la
Huerta, defeated revolutionary lead
er, who fled from Mexico, ON a
steamship last week.
De la Huerta, with his aides, was
reported bound for Galveston or
other ports in the United States but
has failed to appear. Rumors cir
culated that the vessel on which
he left Mexico had been lost in a
hurricane were without confirma-
tion here.
The rebel chieftain s wife has
been in New Orleans for several
weeks and it was believed he would
eventually come here. The Mexi-
can consul general in New Orleans
said he had no word since De la
Huerta fled from Mexico.
De Ia Huerta is believed by Mex
lean officials to have sailed from
Frontera aboard the small coast
wise steamer Exploradora or the
steamer Tabasco.' Neither veSel
had been heard from since the ter
rifle storms swept the Gulf of Mex
leo last week and fear is expressed
that the revolt chieftain may have
been lost.
