estimates of some months ago mad it that the United States was then hold ing more than 40 per cent of all the gold in the world. And 1t has to a considerable extent been unprecedented imports of gold which have made do- nestle money conditions so easy.
 It must be remembered that large portion of the ceaseless flood of gold to our shores in the last four years does rot belong to us. It belongs to people of other nations who will withdraw it when they can more profitably employ it at home. Then, too, take the prog ress of foreign loans as exemplifyinS possible future tendencies. New foreign securities sold here in the six weeks from September to October 10 totalled $310. 100000 as compared with the smaller figure of $229, 100000 for the previous eight months. It is yet too remote a potentiality for serious immediate con- sideration, however, that our gold sup plies will diminish so far and so rapid ly as to have a serious hsrdening eff feet upon money rates.

WYE OF this country have seen so
 w accustomed during the past few < years to large monthly excess of gold imports over exports, that the teE- dency of these net gold imports to de- cline rather sharply of late, when con- sidered in conjunction with the progress toward economic rehabilitation in Europe, is worthy of note. During the month of September, for example, our imports of gold exceeded our exports by only $1, 1,976, 900, the smallest figure for any month since August, 1920.
 |. Observers have for many months felt that it was only matter of time be- fore we would begin to have greater shipments than receipt of gold, and while 1t is too early yet to state that the tide has turned definitely away from the United States for a protracted period, such possibility must be con sidered in connection with any study of likely future trends in money rates. For we cannot much longer expect our credit supply to be constantly aug mented by gold imports, especially since

SUGAR MARKET

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-No changes occurred in raw sugar today, spots be- ing quoted at 5.46c duty paid without business. Raw sugar futures showed early declines of to points under scattered commission house selling but rallied sharply on covering and Cuban buying promoted by reports of unfavor- able weather in Cuba. Final prices were 8 points higher on December and to 8 higher on the later deliveries. Decem- Der closed 3.72c; March, S.99c; 3.0sc; July 3.17c.
 No improvement was shown in the de- mand for refined sugar. List prices were unchanged at 7.15c to 7.50c for fine granulated. It was reported that 10000 bags of refined sugar, purchased here by Holland sometime ago were to be shipped back here and resold because of the lack of a market in that country.
 Refined futures were nominal.

ing in the United States, together with recent events in Europe, do not fur nish. the basis for distinctly greater business activity, then all yardsticks will have lost their power to measure.
 What is happening?
 The impressive swing towards con- servatism on November 4, resulting in giving the Coolidge administration a working majorit.., in both senate and house, is interpreted as insuring at least two years, and perhaps four years, of political peace for business. All fears of fantastic and ruinously costly "re- J lief" for our farmers and all fears of 5 ,anti-railroad legislation have vanished. At the same time additional tax reduc- tions are believed assured, for both ! business concerns and individuals. Rigid : governmental economy is counteds upon. Business, in fact, expects President Cool , idge to give the country "normalcy'' plus.
 ConsMuently, it is entirely nat ural that the security markets should indulge in a spectacular celebration led, by railroad issues. Wall street < usually flies to extremes. Dealings dur ing the second half of last week have rarely been matched in volume and bull ishness. Friday was the biggest day the stock market has experienced in five years. More than 500 stocks were traded in, to the tune of more than two and a third million shares. The advance scored by the rails, quite two points, has seldom been equalled during one session of the new York stock exchange and industrials improved almost point
 Simultaneously, all grain prices rose very sharply. December wheat crossed s1.50 and May wheat $1.55 in Chicago, reaching almost the peak quotation for the season. Corn, oats and rye also advanced.
 Cotton operators waited for Saturdays official crop report. a When it showed only little over z,S00,000 bales the market turned upward.
 The railroads continue to announce record breaking traffice. The question suggested frequently in this column is now coming to be asked by hand-to- mouth buyers. "What may happen that confidence in the general outlook has been greatly stimulated?"
 The snows of winter soon will over take the railroads over large part of the country. Severe frosts nd snow storms nd tbaws interfere with railway operations.
 If heavy orders and heavy winter come along together, how will retailers, iobbers, manufacturers and others who nave kept down stocks of raw materials a and finished goods to minimum be t likely to fare?
 The prospect is that ordering of goods will be quickened forthwith. This is all the more likely since a distinctly up- ward trend in prices is under way. Last week Dun's reported two advances for each decline. Bradstreet's records an

BUYING ORDERS
 SET NEW RECORD
 IN STOCK MART
ClOgged Tickers 20 Min utes Behind Avalanche
 Of Transactions
By EDWARD J. CONDLON (Ry Leased Wire to AHe-Heraldl

IT
 NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The magni- tude of operations in the stock market in the opening session of the week left little doubt as to the genuineness Of the demand for securities in the sessions immediately following election day. To- tai sales reached 2,22s,ooo shares, ap- proximating the huge turnover of Fri day. The accumulation of buying ord- CTS over the weekend established new record, and with fresh buying pouring in from all sections of the oun- try, the stock tickers became so badly clogged in attempting to keep up with transactions that at times during the morning the tape was running as much as 20 minutes behind the market.
 New high records on the movement and for all time were nearly as plentiful as they were last week. Steel common chalked up a record high for 1924 at 113h on turnover of 78,600 shares, the premier performance of the day.
 Steel Steadily Improves
 Announcement of the Steel corpora tion's thrilled tonnage figures for the month of October showed the forward orders as 3,525, ,270 on October 31, an in- crease of 51, 490 tons over the previous months. This compared with 4,672,825 tons of unfinished business on hand on October S1, 1923. However, the latest increase was about as expected, as the improvement in the steel industry has been steady since midsummer. The Steel corporation operated at an average of 63 per cent of normal during Oc tober, with the finishing mills averag- ing better than per cent.
 Quite eclipsing all previous records of 1924, sterling leaped 3h cents to $4.621s for demand on an extraordinary volume of business. The fact that there was a holiday in Canada appeared to matter little as far as the foreign ex- change market was concerned. Other record highs for the year were reached by certain of the lesser continental rates, among them guilders, which crossed 40 cents.
 All Commodities Strong
 Conspicuous strength characterized the commodity markets all day. Wheat closed substantially higher despite the unexpectedly large increased in the vis- ible supply amounting to 4,s06, ,000 bush els. Corn, oats and rye finished higher, though corn was the only grain to show drop in the visible supply. Cotton worked steadily higher as the bearish- ness of the governments crop report Saturday appeared to have been fully discounted by the liquidation which took place last week. Coffee futures reached a new high ground for the crop on active bidding by brokers with Brazilian and European connections.
 Business money displayed a firmer tone as rates on commercial paper and time accomodations were increased slightly, while call money ruled at 2h per cent again on the stock exchange. Incidentally, the government will make it's first withdrawal in q considerable period from member banks in this dis trict oh Saturday when $6,157, ,OOO will be taken. This Is due to interest pay ments on government obligations falling due on that date.

NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 1O.-Cotton opened higher Monday despite a poor Liverpool. Buying apparently was on the wave of optimism for trade expan- sion which has followed the election and the advance in the stock market. Mod crate selling on the upturn held prices slightly below this level in. Liverpool was considerably worse than due with spot sales 5000 bales, of which 4,300 were American. A stimulating feature in the market was a London cable to the effect that Manchester spinners may soon work in American section on full time. The weather map was favorable with dry weather over practically the entire belt, the temperatures moderate. The official forecasts are little change in the weather with possibly some mod crate showers in the west. The report of the Federal Reserve bank indicating market revival in business and im- provement in the cash position of the farmer supplements bullish ideas on commodity prices and has added to the bullish feeling in cotton. The outlook in the goods trade Is optimistic, although 1t is reported mild weather in most sec- tions of the country has curtailed goods distribution.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-Although Liv- erpool was indifferent to our advance of Saturday, good buying orders for the tEade were executed on the opening at an advance and the market through out the day had a strong undertone with an upward tendency. Buying came from three sources, trade, speculators and shorts. The latter have pretty well covered and while we expect to see cot ton sell higher we are in a broad scalp ing market and as the market has had a good advance in face of large govern ment figures, we advise against follow ing advances too closely as the long in terest has doubtless ben sharply in creased and speculatively held cotton may be forthcoming on any further ad- vances. As the supply seems ample for the time being, mills will hardly climb after their requirements, so, under the circumstances, we think purchases should be made only on good setbacl1s.
