NEW YORK, July 19.-The new
week on the Stock Exchange got off
to an auspicious start today when
/. the advance of last week was re-
sumed on an even broader scale.
Every group shared in the up
ward movement with the exception
of few individual issues in the
rail group, whose technical positions
had been weakened in the rapid ad-
vance of last week.
Baldwin behaved in it's character
istic wild fashion, shooting up Ia to
24734, at the opening. The issue
continued to mount fractionally.
General Motors, the market lead
er in the last few sessions Of the
past week, was up about a point,
while United States Steel advanced
fractionally.
Features Rails
Atchison, feature of strength in
the rail group, shot up n to 1874
The week began with industrial
and railroad averages as compiled
by Dow. Jones g. Co. at the highest
levels on record.
Analysis of business conditions
over the weekend emphasized the
point that the recent curtaiilment
in industrial lines was largely sea-
sonal and the outlook for the au-
tumn months was promising.
With continued ease in money ap-'
parently assured, substantial buying
orders accumulated over Sunday and
seasoned stocks displayed a strong
tone in early dealings. The de-
mand for rails was brisk.
Advise Profit Taking
Industrial leaders showed de-
sire to take a breathing spell around
noon. Commission houses generally
were advising their clients to take
profits in anticipation of a period
of technical correction after recent
sweeping advances.
Selling, actuated by these recon-
mendations, brought about recess
sions averaging about a point from
earlier highs in pivotal industrials.
Rails, however, maintained a
strong tone, particularly Northwest
ern issues.

My dear Paul:
 Last Evening Seattle Times (13th inst.), carries a Ketchikan despatch stating the fact that your salmon packing season had been suddenly closed at 8 o'clock that same evening-that O'Malley had rushed to lock the stable door af- ter the horse had been stolen!- that up to August 9th last you had only 1O2,OOO cases of salmon pack ed as against 679,OOO cases at same date last year.
 On the 27th of October, 1921, standing so as to face across the table of the Committee of Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries, the Gamers delegation from Seattle and Alaska, I told them that they were destroying the salmon runs of Alaska with the supine and anemic permission of Hoover and O'Malley; and, that in years from Jan. 1, 1922, that ruin would be effected by them as they were going on.
 Here is the proof of my asser- tion which I quote above:-they put the finishing touch on last year, and the collapse is now just officially admitted by Hoover and his associates.
 Get out your copy of that Hear ing on H. R. 2394, of Oct. 27, 1921, and on pp. 63, GA, 65, 66, observe and note what I said then to those tanners and their spokesmen, D. C. McCord-plain words which not one of them disputed when I chal- lenged them to do so! (See foot of page 65),
 I told Sutherland a year ago last April (1926), that the end to Alas ka salmon packing would come by the close of the season of 1927 that 1926 the canners would get every salmon that came up from the sea-get them so we'll that their catch of 1927 would make the con- trast hideous and beyond dispute

AL Smith, governor Of New York
four times, seems to grow stronger
leach day. A man who can get him.
Iself elected governor of the greatest
state in the Union four times in sue
cession is bound to be a most formid-
able opponent. The South will split
on Smith if he is nominated, but he
will get large Northern Negro vote
unless the colored people are going
to be same old fools the Southern
whites are politically.
Now is the Republican Negro's
chance to make the Republican party
sit up and take notice, A good year
to bolt the ticket and punish that
bunch for segregation and Jim Crow
ism at Washington. Turn the ras-
Gals out Tacoma editor.
Tiger Flowers certainly knows his
stuff. He has it all over ]. Arthur
Johnson in one way. Tiger knows
enough to realize that to stay in the
game clever Negro must always
be clever enough not to be too clev-
err. ]. Arthur Johnson was clever,
too; and white men are too clever to
fight clever colored men who are not
clever enough to allow a white man
who is not so clever to be clever
enough to win some times. Tiger is
clever-clever enough to fight, win
or lose.
Another black menace looms in
the person of George Godfrey. God
frey is a giant and can take punish
ment. No doubt he can whip both
Tunney and Dempsey, if he gets a
chance.
