character since trading has been con-

higher priced stocks and substantial

prominent position and many of those
issues moved up vigorously, a large

prices rallied moderately in today's
brief session of the market which
was unusually active for Saturday
trading session. Heavy buying of
railroad issues buoyed up this group
and stimulated trading in other sec

in stocks, based on expectations that
forthcoming earnings statements
would reflect the results of heavy

revenue receipts of the Post Office De-
partment. The similarity between the
two movements is most striking, yet
the divergencies between them. oc-
curing as they do principally in
1921 and 1928, are significant. The
upward trend for Washington in
1921 was much more rapid at its in
ception than was the movement for
the United States, while in 1923, when
the receipts in the so cities were
actually on downhill grade, re-
flecting declining tendency in the
quantity volume of business in the
United States, the receipts in Wash
ington exhibited no such drastic de-
cline. In 1924 the downward move
ment in Washington was quite SINH
lar to that for the United States
while it is of interest to note in
passing that the trend of postal re-
ceipts for the selected cities of the
United States in 1923 closely paral-
leled the movement of bank debts in
Washington during that year.
Aside from the barometric value
of the data on postal receipts, there
is another angle which is worthy Of
discussion-viZ., that postal receipts,
as such, represent revenue to the
Federal Government. During the
year 1923 the people in the District
of Columbia paid approximately 81
10000 into the Federal Treasury
for the use of the postal service, or
something between nine and ten dol
lars per capita, the per capita revenue
being almost twice as large as the rate
for the entire country.
Capital Leads Nation.
In this connection it is OF interest
to note that the normal seasonal
mailing in Washington during the
December holiday period is relatively
considerably above that for the rest
OF the country, this factor rejecting
in marked degree the existence of
the large nonresident population of
Washington employed in the service
of the Federal Government. whose
mailings of gifts and greetings are
extremely heavy.
Postal receipts have long been
taken as a reliable barometer of
business conditions. while the value of
bank debts as a business indicator is
indisputable. Is there anything to be
learned from this adjusted index of
business, postal receipts, and from
the parallelism between postal re-
ceipts and bank debts?
Taken together the figures Justify
the belief that the two phenomena
are closely connected, each of value
singly as business weather barome-
ters. but of greater use when con-
sidered together, while the diagram

ADAMS INFIUENCE

No reference is made to the MT. Adam who played around with q cer- tain Miss Eve at q summer resort long ago. The influence referred to is that of one John T. Adams, chairman of the republican national committee, and it has 10 do with the weight his words seem 10 have upon that august body generally known as the United States senate, and. perhaps, upon the president.
 The controller of the customs at New Orleans for some time has been W. l.. Cohen, a Negro. who, after be- ing rejected by the senate in the late President Harding's time, was given a recess appointment last May by MT. Harding. Well. the other day. Presi- dent Coolidge presented the name oe Mir. Cohen to the senate. Mir. Cohen, incidentally. was formerly republican state chairman in Louisiana.
 But the senate rejected President Coolidge's nomination of Cohen, fol- lowing a. tradition that no appoint ment shall be confirmed if the nominee is personally obnoxious" to one of the senator's of the state to which it is made. The Louisiana sem ators felt that the nominee was per sonally obnoxious" 10 them. and so the senate did not confirm.
 Along comes the said John Adams, chairman Of the republican national committee. emphasizing foreibly the fact that this position has been held by a colored man since Grants ad- ministration. He argued that a couple of southern senators should not be al- lowed to dictate to tho president of the United States.
 ;. The first reports were that the presi- dent, lowing to the feeling engendered by the fact that this position had been held by Negro for so long. would not make another appointment--not just now. at least. He might make n recess appointment, however. It is possible, also, that the president too, may have considered the words of tho chairman of the republican national committee of some importance. At any rate there came a sudden shift among the senators. Tradition was blown to the winds before the powerful sugges- ton oc the chairman of the national committee. This is an important time. Election day is coming. Tradition or no tradition-thcehairman knows best.
 Alr. Cohen. colorcd republican lead CT of Louisiana has now been con firmed by the senate as comptroller Of the customs at New Orleans Quite possibly it is an excellent appoint ment. The significance Of it is, how ever--Adams' influence.

"OVE,R THE TOP"

Fifty-four congressman have gone on record as refusing to sanction the
 giving of a bonus to the former service men. and S55 members of congress have the courage to favor it in spite Of the fact that those who now call our
 former fighter graft grabbers" will
 apply to them some such epithet.
 Picture. ii you can. crowd of rep
 rescntatiYc citizens at the station to
 bid farewell to the boys just going to camp or 10 sail the seas. and shouting at them you'll. be graft grabbers if, when you come back, you want any thing more than q dollar q day for what you are doing for us How those "repr.sertatie citizens would have been hooted out of the town--if there had been any such al that time. And yet. in some quarters those very boys, men now, are being called names equally as humiliatihg.
 There may be among these 355 rep rescntatives who voted for the bonus some politicians who seek personal advantage as a result Of their stand. There are selfish men in the aiority and in the minority. But those who still hold to the belief that the emo ton of gratitude has not died out Of mems hearts; those who believe that the great mass of American citizens are inspired by a sense Of fair play and justice-these believe that the inn pulse which prompted this oVerwhelm- ing vote in favor Of the bonus was inspired by those splendid emotions. Those men who voted for the bonus remembered. perhaps, days when they, in their home towns, stood on the sta ton platform and cheercd as the boys went away-cheered with q tear in the eye. Perhaps some of them delivered the farewell address and now. by their votes. have stood by what they said on those occasions. Many of us re- member those talks to the young men as they left their homes--the sinceri- ty of them, the promises made, the deep feeling displayed. And those of us wlfo then allowed the speakers words to find sympathy in our hearts, are glad that there are S55 members of congress who have in small meas urc shown that they will not take back today what they said at that time Of worry, anguish and tragedy,
