Unquestioning Tamnany Man

By showing himself an unquestion-

played into the hands of his political
foes. Republican leaders in the West
need only recite a few sentences from
his Fourth of July speech to lend color
to their contention that under his
leadership the Democratic party is the
Tammany party. And Smiths retort
that he belongs to the new Tammany
would sound hollow in view of the
fact that he has not had word of

Threatens Prosperity

Governor Smith speaks of taking
the tariff out of politics and treating
it strictly on a business basis. but his
proposal, in effect, to repeal the pres.
ent tariff law without any indication
of what will take its place, is quite
disturbing. Certainly any move TO put
American labor in competition with
cheap foreign wages, through break
ing down of our tariff, will be strongly
opposed by American voters.-Repre-

prices made impressive recovery in 10
days market after three days Of de-
clining prices. Many of the standard
industrials and rails moved up / to
points, and sprinkling of specialties
scared TO 16 points on urgent short
covering and revival of pool opera
tions. The rally, which embraced
most of the list, was generally de-
scribed as correction of temporary
over-sold condition with speculative
opinion still sharply divided, however,
as to its extent and duration. Trad
ing started off at a brisk pace, but
quickly died down, the days sales
running well below 100000 shares.
Outside the stock market, chief
speculative interest centered in the
further break of 21a to cents pound
in rubber, which is now selling at the
lowest prices since 1924, and the brisk
rally of about cents a bushel in
corn. Arrival of $5,O00,0OO in Russian
soviet gold also attracted considerable
attention. Call money dropped from
"a renewal rate of Az to 4 per cent and
other monetary accommodations con-
tinued unchanged.
The days business news was mixed
in character. Downward revisions OF
heavy crude oil prices were offset by
higher prices for the lighter grades.
The weekly steel trade reviews re-
ported that production was holding its
recent gains, and that prices were
steady. B. F. Goodrich more than
doubled it's 1926 earnings in 1927, and
Borden, Timken Roller Bearing, Amer
lean Home Products and Cuyamel
Fruit all reported larger net income
last year than the year before. Buck

Montana Power was the sensational
feature of today'S market, soaring
nearly 16 points to 1924 on uncon-
firmed reports that Electric Bond and
Share had made an offer of two shares
of its stock for one of Montana. Elec-
tric Bond and Share, which is traded
in on the curb, closed "a net higher
at 49, Greene Cananea Copper, which

Concurrent strength of Gold Dust

with runors that some kind of a deal
was pending to bring those companies,
