BIZ Tnitcd Press
MARION, ILL.,, Dec. 3.-One OF the
picturesque characters of the south
ern Illinois district will pass out of
official recognition next week when
Sheriff George Galligan leaves office
Dec. 6.
He will be succeeded by Sheriff
Oran Coleman, who was elected at
the last general election.
Galligan has been actively con.
nected with the peace affairs of the
district for several years. During

lie attempted to placate affairs.
He was fired upon by raiders and
his home just off courthouse square
was one of the allegedly marked
spots for the opposition bullets.
Once after S. Glenn Young and
Ora Thomas were killed in duel,
Galligan took a leave Of ABSENCE
which Gov. Len Small thought would
be best for the county-from duty
so that the smouldering hate spirit
could die down.
When Galligan leaves Office he will
return to his former occupation, min
ing. He has been hired as superin-
tendent of a mine near here.

PROSPECTSBR|GHT
FOR COMING YEAR
Future and Current Business
Reported Sound.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Business
prospects for the new year 1927 are
bright and current conditions are
sound according to reports made to
the National Cash Register Company
by the organizations Divisional sales
manager. These sales executives
who are now holding their year-end
conference at the company's head
quarters at Dayton, o., represent
every section of the country and
Canada.
Particularly optimistic was the re-
port regarding the northeastern
section of the United States. In the
coal fields of Virginia and Kentucky
the situation has been substantially
improved as a result of the short
age of coal by the British strike.
The prospects on the Pacitific
Coast, and in the west in general
are better than at any time in fifteen
years. Representatives from Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis re
port general business conditions
sound, despite the fact that agricut-
tured in some sections has suffered
from droUghts and floods. Due to
financing of large part of the
cotton crop, the price slump in the
south, caused by the recordbreaking
crop, is not expected to have as un-
favorable effect as first feared.

3 Largest Firms to Stabilize

BU United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. $40 stabilize
the price of crude rubber a 10000
600 credit is understood to have been
established by several Of America S
largest rubber manufacturers, Dow,
Jones & Co. have announced. The
United States Rubber Company, b.
+. Goodrich, Goodyear, Firestone
and Fisk are said to be among the
concerns guaranteeing the credit. 1t
is estimated that the purchasing
power of the pool will exceed $4,000
tons OF crude rubber.
The funds, it is asserted, may be
employed to buy crude rubber to
forestall sharp price declines, which
might lead to further tire price cut
ting. 1t is the intention, il possible,
to maintain the price at such levels
that the additional 10 per cent re-
striction in production under the
British Stevenson act will not be
necessary Feb. 1.
To do this it is pointed out that
the price would have to be stabilized
above 81 pence, or AZ cents, against
Is pence, or SO cents, a pound now.

Federal reserve statements clearly
pictured the rapid accel alton of
retail trade with the approach of the
Christmas season. At the New York
bank the reserve ratio dropped to
1915 per cent from SIG a week ago,
while the percentage for the whole
system was down to 1872 rom 1873.
These shrinkages reflected the heavy
withdrawals for commercial pur-
poses, but the fact that the main
trend in the money market was to-
ward lower interest rates, as en-
phasized by the continued advance
in bond prices.
The fact that there was nothing
in the Federal Reserve position to
change this prospect was mirrored
in buoyant tone in speculative
leaders at the opening OF the market.
Rails were surprisingly strong in
the face Of an announcement OF
further wage increases, moving
