"ELECTION DOPE"

The "Hired Man" has interviewed
Henry Lucas, our local seer, perused
all of Gump's speeches, and heard a
lot of local political priests and prop
hets palaver and prognosticate and
he thinks he knows our political stuff
like Barney knows his "brown-eyed
baby" This race is between three
well-known gentlemen, all of whom
are placing lot of confidence in a
bunch of doubtful states"
If John w. Davis carries the sole
South and enough other sections not
so compact he will make the town of
Washington mighty good citizen.
If Coolidge carries so many States
and another one, he may stick around
the White House until the election
commissioners call another voting
match.
If, on the other hand, the Repub-
licans and Democrats forget their
raising, Bob La Toilette might shocl7
the guessers with a battery of "elec-
toral" votes.
The straw vote system of political
representation indicates a Demo-
cratic landslide in Texas, Mississipp'
and the village of Brownsville, and a
Republican cloudburst in Pennsyl-
vania and Vermont. He therefore
predicts that the man who gets more
votes than Mr.. Robt La Foollette and
one of the other gentlemen will be-
the thirty-first President of the
United States.

HOLIDAY HELPFUL TO. STOCK SALES,
 SAYS CONDLON
Fridays Totals Approach 2,5O0,OOO Mark-Money
 Firm
By EDWARD J. CONDL0N Heased Wire to Age-HeraldD

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The, forward movement was resumed in the stock market on Friday, the interval for the holiday acting as breathing spell for a fresh start upward. Total sales ap- preached the two and one-half mil wide demand. The average gain for the leading industrial shares was a point.
 One factor which might have damp ened enthusiasm except in genuine bull market, was the firming up of call money to the 4 per cent rate, the Aigh- est level in months. But it was recog- nized that this firmness was largely due to the shifting of funds incident to December requirements, and the se- curity markets pursued an even course through to the finish.
 To say that Wall street was elated to hear that the radicals in the senate had been read out of the Republican party would be to employ mild expression. It served as the basis for drive to- ward higher levels in stock prices and afforded fresh support for the security markets in general.
 The mercantile reviews of the week in- dicated that progress now being made in various lines is substantial in charac- ter and widespread. Dun's review says Ludl LucTc iS nOW lhOAc COhAkuChCO duu more disposition to increase commit ments, with larger buying to fill i'm mediate requirements and to make pro- vision for future needs. It also points out that except in a few instances there has been no rapid expansion.
 Bradstreet's Journal reports bank clearings in the United States for the week as $7,695, 1858 900. against $9,9O6,- 216.000 last week. the drop being due, of course, to the holiday. Commercial fail ures for the week are named as 375, by Dun's, or 36 more than for the corre- spending week year ago. Of the to- tai 230 had liabilities of $5,000 or more in each case, against 206 a year ago.
 The commodity markets on Friday were irregular. Grains were a shade higher for the active positions, except December oats, while cotton moved low CT on private estimates of a substan- tial increase in the yield. Of interest to traders in the wheat pit comes the an- nouncement from the Argentine Cham Der of Commerce that exports of wheat this year will amount to 4,154,O00 tons, against 3,532,000 tons for 1923.

DOWNWARD TREND TAKEN BY COTTON
Prices Work Lower In Realizing
 Aid Aid hIiiuuidatiOn

NEW YORK, Nov. 28-The cotton market has been less active during the past week with prices showing ten dency to work lower under realizing or liquidation by recent buyers, influenced, apparently by a trend toward in creased crop estimates and reports of a Hull in the demand for cotton goods. January contracts, which had sold as high as 2514c on the recent advance, broke through the 231sc level during today's trading and the tone of the market still was rather nervous and unsettled at the end of the week. A considerable part of the weeks business was attributed to the liquidation of De- cember contracts, incident to the is- suance Of notices on Monday, which was the first notice day for that po- sition. It was estimated that the mo- tices represented about 100000 bales of cotton for delivery to holders of contracts on December 1. and the ap- pearance of so many notices naturally led to considerable liquidation. This was absorbed by brokers who appeared to be well supplied with orders to buy December against sales of later months at a difference ranging from about 25 to 30 points between December and Jan uary. At a result, the notices were soon stopped, but there were rumors that part of the cotton taken up on the first notice might be re-tendered should the differences between months narrow ma terially, although some of it Is believed to be intended for export and there were reports during the earlier par. of the wek that exporters were buying spot cotton in the south for both con- tinental and far eastern accounts. Not withstanding the less active business reported in Manchester, spinners of American cotton in Liverpool have adopted the proposal to increase their running time from 32 to 39b hours a week beginning with December, and in- creasing activity has been reported in some of the domestic mills. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at only 60,000 pieces, however, and reports gen. orally have indicated a falling off of business in the primary goods markets following the large sales during the first half of the month. Private re- ports still show 8 considerable differ ence of opinion as to the size of the crop, estimates ranging from about 12,- 100000 up to 13, 100000 bales having been published today.

Super Service Company To Build Station On
 Third Avenue

One of the largest garages and service stations in the south will be constructed at 2217-19-21 Third avenue by the Super Service company, it was announced Fri day by Frank Stevens. automobile man and head of the new organization. =,
 The structure will be of two-story brick and erected on property running 100 by 140 feet. It will contain over 2S.000 square feet of floor space and provide accommodation for the storage of about 250 cars. Construction is to commence next week with the plan to have the building ready for occupancy by March |.
 In announcing the project, Mr. Stew ems declared that while the building win be used as headquarters and showroom for Chevrolet cars, similar to his es- tablishment at 601 Twentieth street. south. which is to be abandoned. fea- ture will be made of inspection and serv- ice to- the automobiles in storage.
 Another reason for the building is the lack of parking space in the down. town section, Mr. Stevens said. It is only a matter of time, he stated, until all downtown parking is eliminated and cars must be stored in garages near the center of the business district.
 The building will be financed by George Johnston, who is owner of the site. Through G. H. Greene of the Butler-Garrett Real Estate and Insur- ance company MT. Stevens has signed a long-term lease on the property.

Citizens Asked To Report Repairs To Revenue
 Board

A greatly augmented road mainten- ance campaign is to be conducted by the county starting next Monday, it was announced Friday by Captain Lacey Edmondson, president. of the board of revenue, after a conference between the board and wardens of the eight prison camps.
 At a conference the wardens declared it would be possible to speed up their working parties. and the board asserted that it was their intention to keep all roads in Jefferson county in the best possible condition. No radical changes in present working methods were dis cussed, but a policy of "the greatest amount of repair work at the least possible cost" was announced.
 In this connection, Captain Edmond son said that members of the board of revenue are to inspect county roads, but asked that citizens who found roads in need of repair to notify any member of the board

ness conditions, has been in large part due to the rapid expansion in the use of passenger carrying motor buses.
 As a result of these trends, 1924 prof its of leading companies have on the whole been poorer, although net earn ings of truck producers have held up better than those of passenger manu- lecturers. The industry is now turning its eyes from 1924 to the outlook for next year. The prospects for the truck industry are generally considered to be good, especially for those concerns mak- ing passenger buses. Passenger car producers, despite the disappointments of 1924, are looking forward to a good year in 1925, although they are more cautious in making their plans than they were a year ago.
 It Is difficult to predict what 1925 will actually bring forth. One forecast-that of Colonel Leonard P. Ayros-is of i'm terest. He expects a total output of about 3,600,000 cars.

T HE automobile industry, despite
 moderately successful year, has not
 prospered as greatly as 1t did in 1928, largely because of failure to esti- mate correctly the probable demand for passenger machines. For while the an- ticipated necessary production of the early year was placed at over 100000 cars, the actual output, judging from figures for ten months, will not exceed the 3,300. .000 mark. This realization may seem a rude awakening from texpecta- tions, yet 1t is interesting to point out that a 3,300, ,000 production is only 340,0o0 cars. ]ess than the 1923 output and is, by comparison with 1922, an increase of nearly 1,0Oo, ,000 machines.

SUGAR MARKET

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The raw sugar market was firm and unchanged today at 6.03c for Cuban duty paid. Sales in- cluded 1000 bags Cuban, prompt, and $500 bags of Peruvian, to local re- finer at 6.03c, and 14,000 bags Cuban to an outport refiner at 6.09c.
 Continued firmness of the spot mar ket and reports of rains in Cuba, which were expected to delay further the new crop start, led to increased covering and trade buying in raw sugar futures. Final prices were at the top and to 6 points net higher. December closed, 41sc; March, 3.10c; May, 3.17c; July, 3.26c.
 No changes occurred in refined sugar prices, which ranged from 7.15 to 7.5Oc for fine granulated. New business was light, but withdrawals on old contracts were liberal,
 Refined futures were nominal.

STOCK LETTERS

The financial district looks for a sub stantial increase in untitled orders of the United States Steel corporation for November which will be made public December 10. Ingot production of the corporations subsidiaries is no waround 70 per cent, while production of the finishing mills is much higher despite the fact that operation of the rail mills is reported to be very low. The bulk of recent rail orders has been for spring and summer rolling.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-Many new highs were made during today's market, among them being United States Steel which entirely made up it's dividend by selling to 11S1s. Trade advices con- tinued of a favorable tenor and the cop per stocks were unusually active, un- der leadership of Kennecott and Cerro De Pasco. Very little copper is now obtainable under IA cents a pound and the strong demand indicates higher prices before the new year.
 Many railroad October statements were published and these were also for the most part of a reassuring nature. The market as a whole was extremely buoyant, although in the late afternoon call money advanced to 4 per cent. Even this did not chill the ardor of the speculative fraternity and most issues retained practically all of their ad- vances right up to the close. Total sales were 2,477, ,S00.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 27-Today's stock market was one vigorous activity in numerous Issues. Stocks registering highest record of recent years and vol tune of buying showing a substantial increase. Rail earnings included the remarkable showing by Pennsylvania for October and good statements by both New York Central and Erie were constructive developments. Texas Gulf Sulphur was an outstanding feature, reflecting a remarkable earnings posi- tion and being accumulated by strong interests. Industrial news was just as favorable as on Wednesday.
 Word from steel trade shows that there is no tendency to slow up the steady pace of improvement which has been apparent for several weeks, in fact, the pace seems to be increasing progressively with important demand coming from agricultural industry, which all recognize as one of the big gest factors in a general program of prosperity. Allowing for usual reac- tion which we know are inseparable from any extended forward movement, no legitimate reasons have yet mate rialized to anticipate any important change in market conditions. Con structive commitments in sound, well seasoned Issues in the rails, coppers and oils can still be maintained.-Jno. F. Clark & Co.
