NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Heayy
trading in st. Paul and New Haven
stocks featured the early trading in
the stock market today. The bonds
of these companies about which so
much apprehension has been ex-
pressed in. recent mnoths, displayed
much strength and activity, the
New Haven Is Of 1925 moving up
4 points In the first period Rock
Island, Wheeling and Lake Erie,
Western Maryland and Kansas City
Southern also shared IN the buoyant
movement in prices In this period.
The favorable reception of New
Ravens refinancing plan for the
1926 maturity of per cent bonds
removed an important impeachment
to the advance of theS stock and its
ability to discount favorable de-
velopments in current earnings Of
the company. In banking circles it
was limited that ST.. Paul, even
though earnings will not cover 'ex-
penses this year, will have no real
hardship in arranging for the re.
funding Of $4,000, 600 Of 4 per
cents due in June OF 1925.
Buying of the common and pre-
ferred stock today was also based
on rumors that st. Paul might fig
ure prominently in the final. con
solidation of railroad lines in its
territory. Rock Islands close af-
filiation with the Southern Pacific
brought new buying into that stock
today and 1t rose to a new high
at 44%.
United States Steel common
crossed lit today for the first time
since 1917 on a heavy volume of
buying which made it the leader
n the Industrial stocks. General
Electric made a gain of 2 points
while American Can and Cast Iron
'ipe sold in small volume at Thurs
avs closing.
Motors were led by Maxwell,
Mack Trucks and Willys-Overland
preferred into slightly higher levels
in the first hour, but interest in
this part of the market waned. Oils
were fractionally higher, in con-
tinuation of the rally which started
late Thursday, but only moderate
activity characterized even the
leading stocks in this group.
Cali money loaned and renewed
at ~ per cent, with no dearth Of
offerings at that rate; cotton mar
kats were practically lifeless until
11:15 when trading was resumed
after the publication of the Govern
ment's. report. The grain markets
were slightly irregular.

Strength of Candidates
Discussed at Az. Y. City

NEW YORK, June 20:---With the
increasing influx of delegates to the
national Democratic convention the
political mathematicians are busily
engaged in figuring the actual and
potential strength OF the leading
candidates, complicated as their task
is by the arrival of favorite sons and
dark horses in candidates row.
Two separate movements to groom
John w. Davis, of West Virginia,
former ambassador to Great Britain,
for the nomination developed in
Washington and Chicago and were
growing stronger every minute when
it arrived here after Davis let 1t be
known that he was in receptive
mood.
Party chieftains. admittedly against
McAdoo, and neutral regarding
Smith, Immediately began sounding
out state leaders on Davis as a possi-
BILE compromise candidate in the
event that the Smith -McAdoo con-
test developed a deadlock.
Managers for George S. Silzer.
governor of New Jersey, Carter Glass
of Virginia, Oscar Underwood of
Alabama and James NJ. Cox of Ohio
have opened headquarters.
Work already has been started by
Homer s. Cummings of Connecticut
on the party platform.
1t is generally conceded that the
main test of strength between the
McAdoo and Smith forces will be on
the question of the Ku Klux Klan,
League of Nations and prohibition.
George E. Brennan, Illinois leader
and known as a Smith supporter.
has been bitter m his attitude
against the hooded organization and
insists that the Democratic platform
must definitely denounce the Klan.
Managers of the McAdoo campaign
have reiterated the stand taken by
their candidate in his southern
speech on Americanism and relig
ious tolerance.
To Senator Key Pittman, of Me-
vada. has been designated the duty
of framing the fundamental planks
in the platform. Senator Pittman,
who conferred on the tentative draft
OF platform with congressman in
Washington. conferred with Mr..
Cummings.
The women blossomed forth to-
day and became active in both the
Smith and McAdoo camps while
pamphlets setting forth the feminine
of both candidates began
to appear in the hotel lobbies ard
on the streets.
Mrs. Antoinette Funk, an alter
nate from the District of Columbia,
was extolling the McAdoo virtues at
his headquarters. With her were
Mrs. Leroy Springs, national COM
mitteewoman from South Carolina,
and Mrs, Lou Husky, alternate from
Tennessee.

Costello on the second floor of the
Ricci three-story frame building at
403 State street early this morning.
The early morning blaze sent b.
Spanpinato and his ia amily, residing
ON the third floor. into the street
scantily clad. An eighteen-year-old
girl who has been confined on ac-
count of illness, was, carried from
the building. There are five people
in the Spanpinato family and seven
in the family of Fred Strahl, resid-
ing in the rear OF their baker shop
on the ground floor. Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Avelly resided in the front
part OF the second story.
1t is the general belief that the
fire started in the dark room of the
photo establishment and spread
quickly. causing damage to the Co.'S
telio property TO the amount OF
$4,000. He is without insurance, the
police were Informed. Cotsello for
lnerIy had a*photograph business on
Fayette street and moved to State
street about four months ago.
The kitchen Of the Avelly home
was damaged by fire, and slight
damage by smoke and water was
done in the Spanpinato home and
also in the rear of the baker shop.
The building. especially about the
second floor, was damaged consider
ably by fire.
Patrolman Steve Grega turned in
the alarm from, box 81 at Commerce
and State streets at 1888 O'Clock.
After sounding the alarm the po-
lice officer went through the burn
ing building to see that everyone had
reached the street in safety. The
members of the different. families
were taken into nearby stores and
homes. Costello resides at 3S9 State
street with his family and he was
awakened by people hurrying to the
fire.
E. J. Ricci. of Red Bank. is the
owner of the building which is
covered by insurance. Costello or
Strahl did not carry any insurance,
it was made known this morning.
and these men went to headquarters
this morning to express their sus-
picions in regard to the fire.
1t was rumored at the scene this
morning that Mrs. Avelly had moved
to Metuchen, taking her belongings
from the building at about o'clock.
The firefighters fought the fire early
this morning for about an hour and
half under the direction of Chief
William Langan.
An investigation is being made by
the police in connection with the
fire.
