TOU:TED
AS 1882 MATE
ORH0OVER
Hoosier Governor, Here for
Weekend at Rapidan,
BIinks Under the Spotlight
BY WILLIAM c. MURPHY, JR.

By WILLIAM C. MURPHY, JR.
Gov. Harry G. Leslie, of In
diana, is the latest choice Of
Washington political spectators
for the Republican vice presi-
Dental nomination next year.
The game of choosing a sue
cesSor for Vice President Curtis,
who is expected to run for his old
seat in the Senate from Kansas,
has resulted so far in suggestion
o. the names of Theodore Roose-
velt, jr., Senator Dwight Morrow
Of New Jersey, Secretary Of War
Pat Hurley; Postmaster General
Walter Brown, and Senator James
E. Watson of Indiana.
Indiana Doubtful State
Governor Leslie, who will spend
the weekend with President
Hoover at the Rapidan camp, is
an addition to the list Of candi-
dates, each chosen without public
effort on his own behalf.
AS was the case in each of the
earlier selections, those who favor
Leslie have an imposing list OF
reasons why his nomination is de-
sirable if not inevitable.
In the first place, Indiana is
represented as an exceedingly
doubtful State for 1882. The
Republicans suffered tremendous
losses in the congressional BY
elections in Indiana last year.
An epidemic of Democratic sue
ceSses in municipal elections since
then has been hailed as definite
evidence of distinct Democratic
trend.
A Popular Governor
Mr.. Leslie, an unusually popu-
lar governor who has done much
to restore the States public es-
TEEN which had been impaired
by the vicissitudes of previous Re
publican administrations, is being
described as man who$ can
carry the State for the Repub-
lican national ticket If anyone
can.
His term as governor expires in
January, 1888, which would make
it possible for him to run for the
vice presidency without reSigning
his present office. Under the
Indiana constitution, he is not
eligible to succeed himself as
governor.
Friends of Mr.. Leslie have been
speculating as to his political fu'
ture.
He could not run for the SEN
ate without clashing with Sena"
tor Watson, the present majority
leader, who comes up for re-elec-
tiOn next year.
There will be no other sena-
torial vacancy in Indiana until
Senator Robinson's term expires.
Hoover, Leslie Friendly
A few& weeks ago, when there
was talk that Senator Watson
might seek the vice presidency,
there was an incipient movement
to have Governor Leslie run for
the Senate.
That idea was abandoned when
Mr.. Watson announced recently
that he was a candidate for re-
election to the Senate. The an
nouncement, incidentally, does
not preclude him from making
the vice presidential race, since
the senatorial primary is in May
and the national nominating con-
ventions will be held in June.
President Hoover is on friendly
HermS with Governor Leslie. When
the President visited Indianapolis
on his Western speaking tour he
was guest at the Leslie home.
Mr.. Leslie has been a White
House guest ON several occasions

BULL STILL HAS
PUNCH, NOTES
SPECTATOR
Ability of Bonds to Keep Up
With Pace Stocks Set
Held Significant
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK. Dec. 10 UN s..
The old bull may be down, but
he still packs a wallop as was so
decisively demonstrated in yestcr
days spirited comeback in the
market. Just how far he can
carry this advantage, however,
appears somewhat problematical
at the moment.
However, the sweeping vigor OF
the advance speaks volumes for
the character of the buying. For
by no stretch of the imagination
would the hardened type Of bear
now lurking in the market run
heller skelter to cover were there
no tangible reason for so doing.
The ability of bonds to keep
pace with the betterment in
stocks is further evidence that
the present upturn may have be-
gun from a footing which will
permit of little backstepping until
certain definite price objectives
have been attained.
While the elimination of the
short interest may, in a way. af'
feet the technical position of the
market, still this is more than off
set by the appearance of aggressive
buying demand. which has been
conspicuous by its absence for al
most month.
It is idle to say the entire finan
cial community has been won over
to the bull side simply because the
market has had it's first worth.

COTTON PRICES.
CONTINUE To
ADVANCE
Southern Selling Is Offset
BY Good Trade Buying
Here and in Europe

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 UN.S).
The cotton market continued to
record price gains today, although
less sensational than yesterdays
rally.
The advance attracted southern
selling, credited to hedging by
merchants OF raw cotton. This
selling however was we'll abb
sorbed by trade buying from here
and the continent.
There was some liquidation
from commission houses in jan
uary. New Orleans and Liver
pool sold distant months. Some
selling IN the local market was
also influenced by the fact that
in the early trading New Orleans
futures were out of line with the
New York list.
Reports from the south indi-
Gated that the basis was still
holding firm Notwithstanding the
sharp upturn in the futures mar
ket.
Some encouragement was de-
rived from the report that for
wardings of American cotton to
the worlds mills this week were
391, 900 bales against $4,000 last
week and 311,000 a year ago.
Exports for the week brought
the season total within less than
1000 bales of year ago.
Spinner's taking for the week
were placed at 423,000 bales, as
compared with 461, 900 bales last
week and $4,000 in the CORE
spending week of last year.
Weather Unsettled
Cloudy and unsettled weather
was forecast for the West with
showers in East Texas, cloudy
with showers and rain in the
Central belt, and cloudy in the
East with occasional rains in
Georgia. and Florida.
December finished points
higher at 625, January was up
at 6.26, March unchanged at
6.43, May off at 6.61, July up
3 at $50 and october up 2 at

CLOTH MARKET DULL

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 Q.N.SO.
Buying continued light in today's
coarse yarn cloths market, with
interest developing in one or two
numbers and with little or no
interest in forward deliveries.
The chief business booked was
to take care of minor December
requirements of buyers, who were
indisposed to cover January and
forward needs at current prices,
preferring to await some more
definite settlement of the pres
ent situation. Occasional tax
ings of broadcloths were men
toned, with 100x60s in a particu.
larly good position. Sheetings,
on the whole, were quiet, one or
two numbers showing definite
strength on the basis of lessened
stocks in the hands of mills.
Heavy goods were dull, with
prices generally easier.

Editor. McGiu Commodity Services.
AUBURNDALE. Mass, June % up.
The general index of commodity
prices, although again declining. made
a better showing than for the previous
week. OF ID individual group indices,
10 declined and increased. The
groups declining we're the industrial.
agricultural, live stock, building ma
teriels, chemicals, fuels. ferrous metals,
paper, textiles. both fine and coarse.
Those showing upturns were hides and
leather, non-ferrous metals, paint ma
terlals and vegetable oils.
Industrial Prices
The uninterrupted downward trend
of industrial prices continued Bust
ness is now entering the Summer
period when it is customary for a
moderate slowing up in activity, and
Judging by developments so far, this
year will be no exception. Although the
index of the volume Of business has
shown a gradual increase since the
first of the year. it has not been of
sufficiently large proportions to utilize
the output of commodities even though
the rate of production has been great
~ reduced. II would not be surprls-
ing to see a continued moderate easing
Of some prices due 10 selling Of dis
that in certain lines a greater reduc-
ton in the rate of output must be ef-
fccted. In some lines such as copper
and lead, announcements have been
made of temporary suspension in oper-
atoms in an effort to enable supply TO
approximate the demand level.
Agricultural Prices.
A downward trend was again shown
by agricultural prices. notably IN
wheat, rye. potatoes, wool, butter and
oats, barley and fax.
Live Stock.
Live stock prices again showed a
drastic decline with all itens-cattle,
sheep, lambs and hogs-showing ex-
IRENE weakness.
Building Materials.
Due to weakness IN prices Of cement.
glass and lumber, building materials
declined considerably.
Hides and Leather.
A substantial upturn again was shown
by hides and leather due TO an increase
in the price of cattle hides.
Non-Ferrous Metals.
This group showed an increase for
the first time in several weeks due to
strength in tin ard zinc. Anthony
and quicksilver showed slight weak
ness.
Paint Materials.
Although there was a slight easing
in the price Of resin. this was more
than Offset by the increase in linseed
oil.

SOUTHEASTERN BUSINESS SHOWS
SIGNS OF IMPROVED CONDITION
Shippers Advisory Board Hears Prospects
for Third Quarter In Several Lines
Are Now Much Better.

Highway programs under way, reports
showed, will result in an increase Of II
per cent in shipments of stone, sand,
gravel and Stag, while shipments of ce-
ment are expected to equal the 1880
levels.
Improved Prospects.
Slightly improved prospects reported
by the brick. clay and products and
iron and steel industries indicate ship
ments of those commodities will equal
last years levels.
The lumber and forest products in
duStry looks for a decrease of 20 per
cent. due to failure of retailers to carry
usual reserve stocks. Shipments Of
pulp, paper and products are scheduled
TO be about the same as in 1880.
Continued decreases of coal ship
ments, because of increased use OF nat
ural gas and fuel oil, are still being ex-
perienced.
A per cent gain is forecast by the
manufacturers Of furniture, while ma
chinery shippers anticipate no material
change from last year.
Expecting the usual seasonal increase,
the producers of petroleum and prod
uctS anticipate consumption will do bet
ter than slightly exceed the 1880 level.
Other industries reporting through
the Miscellaneous Commodity Commit
tee report scattered indications of bet
ter demand and anticipate generally a
volume of business equaling that Of the
