other public utility properties in Gen.

Power g. light Corporation, holding
company with an invested capital more
than $219,00e,0 900, has been acquiring
the gas and electric utility units of Lon
don. Already more than half have
been secured. This holding company
has utility properties scattered through
out 20 States in the United States and
serves 900 cities and towns, mostly in
the Middle West.
Other utility companies, formed or
being formed at the moment, are in
vestigating utility possibilities in near
ly every country in Europe. The fact is,
America is becoming very much inter-
national in its business life
American business interests have in
vested more money in foreign business
since 1914 than have all the rest of
the nations of the world combined.
The next 10 years is destined to see
this expand to even greater proportions.

METAL AND UTILITY
SHARES FAvORITES
Oil Is Also Prominent in Recent
Trading on Stock

Special Dispatch to The Star.

0peclaI DlSpatcn TO Ine star.
NEW YORK, November 6.-From the
action of the stock market in the clos
ing hours yesterday it appears that
Wall Street looks with most favor on
the public utility. oil and metal shares.
There Is certain relation in this to
It's views on the election result.
Take, for instance, the late betting of
S to / IN favor of Mr. Hoover This
might readily explain why the shares
OF electric light gas and power COM
panies were so strong. This group has
been quiet for several months.
The power issue has been the only
one in the campaign that directly af-
fected securities. It is not improbable
that those speculative interests who
look to see Mr.. Hoover elected would
have some days ago begun to accumu-
late utility issues.
The situation with respect to the oils
and metal stocks is somewhat different.
1t is to certain extent tied in with the
prospect of consultations to supple
ment those already announced in both
industries. Both oil and copper have
the advantage also of a strong statis-
tical position. The September figures of
the Bureau Of Mines show that in that
month stocks Of all oils decreased o.
421 900 barrels. The price of copper
metal is the highest in several years
and is likely to go higher before jan
uary 1st. The merger of both oil and
copper companies would not be opposed
in Washington, it Is believed.

and delivering goods The leading
chain stores of the country do not want
this type of man. but the sort who can
contribute to the merchandising of
their goods.
There are so many articles, notably
the popular brands of cigarettes. which
have become so well known through
national advertising that virtually no
selling ability is required to dispose Of
them. This type of merchandise, which,
in addition to cigarettes, includes such
things as razor blades, shaving cream,
cough drops and score of other ar
ticles, can be sold with advantage
through the vending machine at a
saving in distribution cost.
Problems Of Production.
During recent years much time and
money have been spent in solving the
problems of production and advertising.
I believe the next few years will see
more concentration on the problem
of distribution. and in this work the
vending machine will undoubtedly play

GROWTH IN U. S. TIN
TRADE IS REVEALED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CARDIFF, Wales, November 6.-One
Of the most important Anglo American
trade agreements ever arranged has
been completed between tin manufac-
turers of South Wales and the United
States. The parties to the agreement
are the United States Tinplate Export
Association and the South Wales Tin
plate Corporation.
The cartel provides for regulation
of the output of tin on both sides of
the Atlantic so that production will not
flood the market and for q geographical
division of foreign markets. 1t reveals
the tremendous advances the United
States manufacturers Of this metal have
made since the beginning of the World
War.
How great has been the progress of
the United States in this direction may
be judged from the fact that In the
first seven months of this year America
produced 80 per cent of the total ex-
ports from the two nations combined,
and the United Kingdom 10 per cent,
although in 1913 the American propor-
ton was Is per cent and the British 81
per cent. At the same time the export
trade has greatly increased. This year
the exports, 1t is estimated, will be
100000 tons, $4,000 for Britain and
251 900 for America.

NEW YORK, November 6-More
than $40,000,000 worth of small package
merchandise will be sold automatically
in 1929, in the opinion of Albert G.
Allen. executive vice president of the
United Cigar Stores of America. He
regards the growth in volume and scope
of automatic selling as one of the most
interesting phases of modern retail dis
tribution.
From a small beginning and a
dormant state of nearly quarter Of
century" Mr.. Allen said, "the science
of selling by machine has suddenly de-
veloped into great economic Importance
and seems likely now to change all our
ideas of retail distribution.
Eliminates Poor Salesman.
"This is largely due to the fact that
the idea is fundamentally sound and
eliminates the type of salesman who
has always been more or less liability

without selling ability, who merely goes

OF MARKET
UPSET DISCOUNTED
Traders Do Not Believe Elec-
ton Result Will Affect
Conditions.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 6.-There
we're no visible signs in the stock market
yesterday that suggested disturbance Of
mind on the part of the speculative
public over the results of today's
election.
This prompted the opinion In Wall
Street circles that unless there is an
unexpected upset in the calculations of
the political experts, the market, for a
time, at least, will move in the same
fashion as during the past few weeks
and Is more likely to be influenced by
its technical position, which includes
the high average prices for industrial
shares, than by any other factor.
Money Conditions.
Emphasis is again placed on the I'M
usual conditions that now surround the
stock market. compared with those OBJ
tanning in other presidential years. Not
only has it had remarkable rise dur
ing 1928 and on election day stands
within a few points of the high average
for industrialS for all time, but it is
surrounded by money conditions that
are the exact reverse of those on the
eve of elections in the past.
In some quarters there Is a feeling
that the market will go on for a while
showing a generally firm tendency, but
that. later in the month. the real test
of its position will take place. Linked
with this opinion is the thought that
with the election over and no further
occasion for Withholding such action
as may be required to check Specula-
ton and the rapid rise in brokers'
loans, the Federal Reserve may attempt
IN nYlf
banks than 1t was willing to do during
the pre- election period. The argument
against this is that the season of
heaviest requirements for money now
has passed without inflicting any Sc
rious penalties on business and that,
therefore, the Federal Reserve Is not
likely to change its discount program
at this late date.
Europe Interested.
European markets are deeply interest
ed not only In todays election, but in
the possible effect of the election on
speculative markets and on money
rates. Since 1924 not only has Europe
been a heavy borrower here, but within
the last two years her nationals have
been large buyers of American stocks.
Consequently Europe and the United
States are closely bound together and
whatever affects the prices of stocks or
the rates for money in the United States
will have direct response in London,
Paris Amsterdam and Berlin.
The general opinion of the foreign
markets is that from now on there will
be a slowing down in the speculative
activity in this country and with it
some reaction in prices.
