etts with II votes. Smith four years
ago had plurality of 1900 votes
out of a total Of 100000.
AN extremely important factor
in Massachusetts is the unpopular
ity Of Governor Roosevelt" one re-
port said. This Is not 80 much
anti Roosevelt as it is strong pro-
Smith,"
Roosevelt is soon to make an ad
dress in Boston. Smith and the
democratic candidate have made
peace. But reports state that old
wounds are not entirely healed.
Democrats are trying to make their
tight an anti-Hoover one rather
than pro-Roosevelt.
Many mill workers. resentful of
the treatment of Smith, are expect
ed to vote for Norman Thomas. the
socialist candidate. A large vote
for Thomas is reported feared by
democrats because it would cut d.
rectly into them.
State politics affect the presiden-
tial race. Governor Ely, democrat,
who nominated Smith at the Chi
cago convention, is regarded as a
favorite. Reports favor Hoover
and Ely in Massachusetts.
Maine is expected to be close.
Democrats are trying to hold the
small margin by which they car
ried the state in September. One
report: 1.-THE controlling issue is
economic. Prohibition plays only
q minor part"
Rhode Island is listed as doubt
ful. One report: when the dem
ocratic party went outright wet on
its platform I should have said
anybody could carry Rhode Island
against Hoover. Mr. Hoover ap-
pears, however to have overcome
the prohibition obstacle beyond my
expectation or understanding. The
upswing in business and employ
ment and the fear of q setback by
gamble on the democratic NOM
inee is helping Hoover"
Reports also list Connecticut as
in doubt, with Roosevelt favored.
Contrary to expectations some
weeks ago, those reporting the out
look In New York now believe
Roosevelt will carry his own block
of AZ votes. This Is based in part
on strength shown upstate. Next
week he will speak at Buffalo and
Rochester, in further effort to
build up his vote.
Comments include:-
Unless q miracle happens.
Hoover cannot carry New York
state"
1.-The general trend now seems
set toward Roosevelt--away from
Hoover. The approach of cold
weather will accentuate this"
II look for a Roosevelt majority
of about $4,000 In the city and
believe 1t or not--50,000 or better
upstate"
Lehman probably will run be-
hind Roosevelt upstate and is
likely to run ahead of him In New
York city,"
New Jersey reports also favor
Roosevelt. on economic rather than
the prohibition issue which In ira
ditional In that state.
A comment: "The wet issue, us
ually hot stuff with us. seems to be
slumbering. Liquor IL abundant
and cheap no that none In suffering
on that score"
"The Idle hordes, the bonuseers.
and the middle class business boys
who have no business, are all going
20 vote against Hoover and they
don't seem 70 caro- much what
Roosevelt stands for---if anything"
Neither organization eares
about the candidates ana both sides
are waiting 20 get some money
from headquarters"
IN Pennsylvania democrats are
seriously soing after that block OF
30 votes which has been almost ~
sure fer the republicans hitherto

Although I am q republican

Hoover, believe that fair play re-

wrote.
THE par value of each share OF
stock was 10000 German marks
and as the actual marks were re-
ceived from subscribers they were
shipped to Germany and there In
vested In high grade German
equities.
AT the time the company began
to function the market value OF
10000 marks was approximately
$3.50. Asst q result OF the invest
ments made, the book value OF
these shares reached nearly So a
share, whereupon in late 1924 OF
early 1925, the company, under my
supervision, liquidated.
Its shareholders were paid a,

stated no one should be persuaded
to invest any dollars or buy marks
for the purpose of purchasing
shares. with the purpose of per.
hitting present holderos of Ger.
man marks to convert them into
shares. These marks, as every
one knows, became absolutely
worthless"
Roosevelt, 1t was learned, d.
rected his immediate attention to-
day to formulation of the three
major speeches he will deliver at
Pittsburg, st Louis and Baltimore
on his swing through II states,
some normally republican.
A source close to him indicated
he was assembling material for
his vonus utterance.
Persons close to the democratic
standard bearer indicated he
might take the position that the
destitute veterans should be paid.
Roosevelt's only comment on the
highly controversial question thus
far, made in an interview In April,
placed him against the bonus
when he said heidi not see how
government could anticipate pay
mcnt without a surplus in the
treasury.
Although Roosevelt saia. "I'Il
speak on the bonus some time and
some where" there were reports
that he might reveal his stand in
the for moi a statement, possibly
before he starts southwark.

something of mystery even to his

caused by much lower price levels
rather than a decline in the actual
quantities OF goods shipped. Exports
of wheat. for instance, they said,
showed a falling off less than 10 per
cent in volume, but declined 56.5 per
cent in value.
Exports of wheat and wheat -four
for the year totaled $84 $4,000, COM
pared with 157,494000 for the previous
year. and accounted for 794 per cent
of total exports of grain and gram
products.
Wheat -four similarly showed de
cline of $50 per cent in volume, out
in value the decline was mucn more
drastic, amounting to 50.4 per cent.
Wheat -four exported during 1881
brought an overage of S5.3l per oarrel'
while that exported during 1881 orought
only 1857 per barrel.
Corn also showed a considerable loss
in volume. -,
Rice showed a gain in volume Tor

owing to much lower price levels, IN
spite of the increase in volume, there
was a falling off of 24.5 per cent IN

compared with 35l ,145 short tons for
the previous year, gain of TT per
cent. Owing to much lower prices, the
actual gain in value was only 23.7 per
cent. The principal increase was in
shipments of cottonseed cake meal.
which amounted to 176,649 tons, COM
