You must learn to use your
eyes more intelligently. Passing
a vehicle at street intersection
is dangerous practice. A ma
chine might be coming down the
cross street and shoot out from
in front of the vehicle you're
passing, just in time to precipi-
tate a three-car collision. But
the court can't fine you $40 for
what might happen, so you can
pay IS for what did happen.

IRON TRADE REYIEw

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct, 23-(Spe- cial) Iron Trade Review today says:
 More and more, the influence of the approaching presidential election upon the immediate action of buyers and sellers of iron and steel is apparent. While, in large measure, this Is sem timental in character, 1t Is for the mo- ment a positive factor in the further development of the market. Added to the continuing unsettlement of the situation due to the readjustments to new pricing methods, it is causing, in a number of cases, final decisions to be held in abey- ance on important requirements and some reservations to be attached to orders or inquiries for delivery in the near future. Though it's recent expan- sion seems to have been halted, the volume of the market Is well maintained on the scale of the past several weeks, The indications are that sellers of steel do not regard unfavorably the conserva- tive attitude of buyers in ordering steel for the future. Some automobile com panies desirous of placing accessories for 1925 have found makers of steel will not go beyond the first quarter and will want at least $2 per ton ad- vance for that period. Some eastern steel consumers have been complaining to the federal trade commission that certain steel companies in the east still are using the Pittsburg base under oth- CT forms. Mills in the Chicago district are beginning to fill up so that it is less easy to give immediate delivery. This raises the interesting possibility that western buyers may be forced shortly to go east for their remaining supplies, as far as Pittsburg and pay prices equal or higher to those recently quoted to them under a Pittsburg passing point. Agitation for lower freight rates on steel by independent steel companies and by various consumers is taking definite form through the calling of tconfer- ence at Pittsburg October 30 of iron steel traffic men of the Pittsburg- Wheeling Youngstown district. Iron Trade Review composite of fourteen leading iron and steel products again is stationary this week at $3S.65. It has declined but two cents in three weeks. An outstanding exception of any evil dence of hesitation is offered by the rail- roads. The past week has seen an unusually large tonnage of rails placed, totaling over 250,OOO. This brings rail sales in the past 30 days well over 50O,- GOO tons. In equipment, the Chicago and Northwestern is figuring on 4,2OO cars and the report again has appeared at Chicago that the Baltimore and Ohio Is considering 5000. More car material

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23.-The cot ton market was extremely dull today and trading was limited to A narrow range during the greater part of the session. The lower temperatures in the belt than expected, under normal con- ditions would have warranted an ad vance, but traders were influenced by fear of the bureau report due Saturday and there was a disposition to avoid all new commitments.
 At the start Liverpool, which had improved on frost news, was slightly lower than due and the market here opened easier to g points, but soon improved on reports that there had been killing frosts at many places in the northern half of the belt and on pre- diction for frost in the eastern belt for tonight. The market fluctuated narrow ly untik within a few minutes of the close, when prices eased off under liq- uidation, closing at the lowest of the day, or 3 points net lower on October and 15 to 17 points on later months.
