Diphtheria Epidemic Feared

There is enough of an epidemic of
diphtheria in town to cause con-
siderable uneasiness among the
people. All cases have been traced
to the pupils of the Bird and 4th
grade schools. These two grades oc-
cupy building separate from the
other town schools. On Wednesday
afternoon DR.. Fl. w. Smith visited
the school and took a test from the
threats of each pupil which has been
sent to the State Laboratories to
determine whether or not the diph-
iberia germs are present. AS a pre-
caution for public safety and to
prevent further spread of the trouble
the school is to be closed until fur
Their notice. The pupils are in
structed to remain at home and not
to mingle with other children. Every
one is asked to cooperate as much
as possible with the health author
tiles who are trying to prevent fur
Their spread of the disease. Anyons
suffering at all from sore throat
should consult his physician at once,
as matter of safety for himself
and for others with whom he might
come in contact.

weekly Business Review

New, Jork, Nov. 14-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-No significant
changes in the business or financial
outlook came to light last week. Re-
ceding tendencies in several impor-
tant lines of trade and industry were
checked and theree were number
Of distinctly favorable developments
but the long range view was CEN
tered on the prospects of reduced
activity over thee next few months.
Whatever the nature of the read
justment that must take place, 1t is
not expected to result in any gen.
eral business depression. Certain
industries which have expanded
operations rapidly in the past year
or so have already felt the pinch OF
reduced buying and have curta1led
production accordingly, others are
finding it more difficult to strike
satisfactory balance.
One OF the countries largest in
dustrial companies, the General Mo-
tors Corporation, attested its conf
dence as to the future course OF
business by authorizing the payment
of nearly S35,000,000 in extra divi-
dends to its common stockholders,
bringing total disbursements for the
year to more than s100,000,000, sur
passing all previous corporate rec
ords. The corporations phenomenal
earnings have been a matter of
record for some time but in view of
the present slackening demand for
automobiles, the declaration of such
a generous dividend came somewhat
as surprise.
The anticipated decrease in steel
operations has been smaller than ex-
ed. Unified tonnage of the United
trade estimates, although orders in
creased more than 10000 tons in
October, but this was quickly forgot
ten when it was announced that ingot
production had been advanced to 80
per cent of capacity, two per cent
higher than in the first part of the
month. Steel ingot output for the
entire industry was the highest on
record in October.
The country has been so well pre-
pared for record breaking cotton
crop that the latest forecast of yield
approximating 100000 bales failed
to create much of an impression. The
situation has undoubtedly had a re-
tarding influence on business activi-
ties in the south but latest indica-
lions are that the lower prices have
stimulated the demand for cotton
GOODS and quickened the pace of their
manufacture. Other divisions of the
textile markets also registered inn
provement.
The movement of freight in Octo-
Der was the largest in the country's
history.

Approximately $s0,0O0,OO0 Of new
financing reached the market last
week compared with $50,00O,0OO the
week before. All issues were
promptly absorbed.
In one of the largest of corporate
financing on record is the fioatation

are under discussion. The BOND
market probably will be called upon
to absorb about $125,OO0,OOO Of de-

the absence of any official announce
ment regarding the financing, bank
ers have been deluged with applica-

Until the French debt settlement
is ratified, the financial district does
not look for any active negotiations
for a French loan although the sue
cess of the recent Belgian issue ana
the strong market for all foreign
