must have a right to decide what he
produced. For answer, Strauss, who

Makes to Determine Whether
Third Party Lives.
BY &. GOULD LINCOLN.


CHICAGO, November 1.-The election
of President Calvin Coolidge on Tuesday
seems assured. Neither John w.
Davis. the Democratic nominee for
President. nor Robert M. La Toilette,
Independent Progressive. has a re-
mote chance Of receiving a majority
of the electoral votes Of the States.
The only chance of the failure of
President Coolidge to be elected at
the polls lies in the attempted coali-
ton of Democrats and Progre ssives
in certain of the. Western and Middle
Western States.
The rise or fall Of the new Liberal
Party proposed by the La Toilette
leaders will be determined to a large
extent at the polls on Tuesday. 1t
will be determined by the size OF
the popular vote cast for La Toilette
and Wheeler. in a measure by the
electoral vote received by them and
the Senate and House aligned with
La Toilette.
Coalition Eject Uncertain.
My belief is that President Cool
idge will be elected. He may be
elected by an overwhelming vote.
The evidences. however. of the coali-
tion sought to be effected between his
opponents in some of the States
which l have visited are so. strong
that a number of them should be
placed in the doubtful column.
In the following table are listed
the States, the probable way in
which they will cast their electoral
votes. and those States which are
doubtful:

yesterday.

Nature is sincere. When a few
months ago, couple of Island
young folks took a chance at pa
renthood for the sake of the mo-
mentary pleasure offered them,
she took their love murmurings
at face value and paved the way
for a life together by placing a
united responsibility upon them,
1t is not necessary or right to
seek out punishment for those
who so early in life (both being
under age) have broken one of
the rules intended to safeguard
society. The mischief has been
done and the next step is to give
right advice as to the most man
~ and womanly way to meet the
obligation that the situation i'm
poses.

Political Uncertainty Given As
 Cause Of Drop

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Stock prices broke below their previous resistance level in Fridays sharp reaction under persistent hammering by bear traders' Wall street, in searching about for reason for the decline, generally attrfo- uted 1t to election uncertainties and the fact that all the good news In sight has been discounted with the compile ton of negotiations for the German loan.
 Bond prices moved irregularly, the market again demonstrating it's remark able digestive powers by promptly tax ing up more than $10O,00o.0 GOO in new of ferings following nearly $175,OOO,OOO the week before and in addition providing sufficient advance orders to insure the heavy oversubscription Of the German loan, which makes its appearance next week. Erratic fluctuations took place in the foreign exchange market. Sterling de- veIobed strength despite the dissolu- ton of parliament and the calling or general election for November "A

DUN'S REVIEW

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-(Special) )-R.
 G. Dun & Co.'s current summary of general business follows, in part: There has been no appreciable lessening of the irregularities and contracts in busi- ness, the lack of uniformity in commer- cial movements still being a conspicu- ous phase. The fall season has not fail ed to bring increased activity in differ ent quarters, but the situation remains uneven and existing uncertainties cause continued hesitation. Political factors tend to restrict operations, there being a disposition to await the outcome of the elections, and the question of prices also has a restraining effect in some lines. Revival in the cotton goods in- dustry is being impeded by the wide variations in prices for the day ma terial, due chiefly to revisions of crop estimates, and the recent adoption of a new method of quoting prices has un- settled the steel trade. Despite these and other drawbacks, however, there has been a definite improvement in gen. eral conditions and most of the sta- tistical comparisons reflect the turn for the better. A substantial gain in steel production in September and a further increase in untitled orders are promi- nent among the favorable features, while the maintenance of freight car loadings at the highest point on record for this period shows plainly that con sumption of goods is of notably heavy volume The dislnclination of most buyers to make forward commitments still occasions comment, but this ap- parently does not indicate a lack of confidence and probably is accounted for in part by the ability to secure prompt shipments. Except in a com paratively few instances, there has been no rapid rise of prices, the advance in Dun's index number last month being only about Is per cent, and resulting from the higher prices for foodstuffs.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The cotton market today sought lower levels due mainly to liquidation in advance of the double holiday, as both American exchanges will be closed Monday in celebration of Columbus Day.
 The market started off lower owing to unfavorable Liverpool cables and a favorable weather map. First trades showed losses of IS to g points and December traded down to 23.30c and January to 23.35c, or 37 points below the previous close on both positions before resting place was reached. After fluctuating for sometime within a very narrow range the market turned weak in the final trading on 8 renewal of evening up for over the holidays and all active months made the lows of the day right at the end with December at 23.17c and January at 23.21c. The close showed net losses of 36 to fl points for the day.
 The weakness of Liverpool was ex- plained in private cables as being largely due to the political unrest incl dent to the coming parliamentary elec- tions. The early break in prices was largely due to the generally favorable weather map, no rains being shown ex- cept along the Florida coast. l Temperatures were lower and indica- tions were that the disturbance In the west would pass above the cotton re- zion. .
 Liquidation in advance of the holI- days provided the bulk of the business as otherwise there was rather a dearth of market news. Although there were some evidences of moderate speculative short selling, there was a good deal of trade buying on the dips.

WHEAT BREAKS ON LIQUIDATION Market Closes 10 Cents Under Top Figures
 Of Week

CHICAGO Oct. 11.-with holiday here Monday and exporters apparently inclined to pause, liquidating sales on the part of uneasy holders became too much Of A burden for the wheat mar ket totiay and caused prices to break to more than 1Oc under the weeks top figures. Closing quotations on wheat were unsettled, at 1Mc to 2Hc net de- cline, December, $1.31% @1.42H and May Corn finished un- changed. to 1Mt off, oats -%c to 1Ac down, and provisions unchanged to 22c up.
 to rally wheat prices from setback at the opening here, the available buying power was soon found to be insufft- cient to uphold values. Frosts were re- pofted in the northern districts of Ar gentina, where the crop is at . stage which makes frost very undesirable, but the fact that the Liverpool market had shown pronounced weakness at to- day's close was a special handicap to bulls. Offerings increased in volume the more that buyers backed away, and the second of the days declines amount ed to as much as ,3hc in some eases before sentiment began to change, and Export sales of wheat today totalled a fractional recovery ensued at the last. only 500, 900 bushels.
 The action of the wheat market at Winnipeg as well as at Liverpool had considerable to do with depressing values here, talk being current that SO far Canada has disposed of but little of the surplus. Under such cinsum- stances, some Chicago authorities were expecting the winnipeg market to work down to a competitive basis with Chi cago. %fA
 Corn and oats were influenced by wheat weakness and by suspicious weather for the corn crop. Bullish views, which certain big traders ex- pressed regarding corn, however, tended t. steady the market. r
 Prices averaged higher, in line with hog values.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-12
CURB EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-In the absence of the urgent selling pressure that un- settled prices in the late trading Fri day the market on the curb exchange held fairly steady today. There were few issues supplied at recessions but the bulk of the trading was toward re- covery American Gas and Electric new, suffered a loss of about points at the start Middle West Utilities im- proved 1 point from the days low. Gill; lette Safety Razor and few radio se- curities were fractionally higher.
 Prairie Oil was the lone performer an the petroleum division, dropping 2h points to a new low for the year. This decline was cancelled in the later re- coYery as also was the case with the in- dusctrials that were in supply in the early trading.
 Bonds were slightly lower.
 The market was active and irregu- lar throughout the week but except in a few issues the movements were not sustained and were followed by quick changes in market positions on both advances and declines. The public utilities that had been active and strong for a long period were under special pressure. Declines in these stocks were over a wide range. Commonwealth, \ after selling at 105, dropped to below 100 American Power and Light yield ed from 46 to 4O%. There were sharp advances, however, in many other is- sues in this group. American Light and Traction moved up from 136h to 14s and Middle West Utilities rose from Il to t75. These gains swere followed by sharp reactions. The widest range was in National Tea, which dropped 25 points to 225. Gillette Safety Razor, after selling at BPS, yielded to 316.
 Radio issues were in increased de- mand. Dubilier advanced to above 50 and Ware Radio crossed 30, both stocks making new high records.
 There were some strong features in the industrial list, among them being Southern Coal and Iron, one of the low priced shares. New Jersey Zinc rose from 159% to 166.
 Mining stocks were generally heavy, some of them sustaining material losses during the week.

nI1rrER MARKET

CHICAGO, Oct. n.-Trade was only fair and often quiet in the butter mar kets, which were in an unsettled con- dition during the week. Decreases con tinued tin storage holdings and produc- ton, but withdrawals from storage were less than those of a year ago and the storage situation had small Influence on market sentiment.
 Supplies of top grades were short and medium and undergrades difficult to move. Export declined somewhat and there was little hope of material in- crease. The decrease in production to last years levels was not indicated.
 Closing prices and range, 92 score butter at the principal markets follow:
 Chicago, unchanged at 371c; New York, hc less at 3Sbc; Boston, un- changed at 3Shc; Philadelphia, 1sc low CT at 39kc.
