New York--Some fifteen years
ago, man of liberal viewpoint
and poetic temperament would
come mumbling out of the cubby-
hole in which he typed editorials
for conservative San Francisco
newspaper.
These mutterings were usually
directed at the "big chief" whose
orders almost invariably confiicted
with the radical opinions of the
writer who turned them out. AS
one of those newspaper fellows
who occupied a desk in the edi-
torial room, l heard rumblings
that complete revolt was expected.
One day the blow-up came. and
the next thing any of us know the
hero of the newsroom, Maxwell
Anderson, had headed for New
York. Everyone had suspected
thnt he was a superior poet, so IT
surprised none of us when we
heard that Anderson was running
a magazine dedicated to poetry.
The rewards Of such enterprises
are meager. and Anderson had an
ample family. Some years later
1 heard that the entire menage
was bearded in a tiny Bronx nat.
Well, that's all past tense now.
Anderson has country houses and
town apartments and California
bungalows thanks to his part in
what Price Glory?" and to Ho1-
lywood salaries and to Elizabeth
the Queen" and other plays.
And today Anderson is being
hailed as the sole exponent OF the
poetic, rhyt hmically cadenced,
blank verse type of drama. His
decentralization of the Elizabeth
ana Essex story was in classic
and attracted no little attention.

STOCKS co Higher
At SHORT SESSION
Rail and Motor Shares Take
Lead in Strong
Market.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, September 24.-The
stock market closed the week strong.
Railway and motor shares were the
leaders, but the movement took in more
or less all groups, except possibly the
oils. The market opened fractionaIly
higher held during the first half OF the
session and left off with the buying
movement in full swing
The important overnight news was.
OF course, the reaching of an agreement
on Eastern consolidation by the rail-
way executives. While no immediate
benefit can be anticipated, il had a
sentimental effect. In the first hour
there was some realizing in the rails,
out 1t was soon absorbed and most of
the group moved forward.
The largest gain was made by Norfolk
& Western, up to points, but there
was activity and strength in Baltimore
& Ohio and New York Central. Lacka-
wanna had to absorb profit taking and
held around the previous close. For a
time Delaware e. Hudson was lower. but
these were exceptions. Canadian Pa
clflc responded to the showing made for
the second week in September by car
loadlngS to Canada, which for the sec
ond consecutive week showed a gain
over a year ago.
Motor shares were prominent through
out. The leaders were Chrysler and
General Motors, with du Pont going
along with the latter, and Mack Truck,
which advanced rapidly under consoh-
datiOn runlOrS.
The steel news was moderately favor
able. An advance in the rate of oper-
ations next week was confidently pre-
drcted. United States Steel common
was strong and there was special buy
ing in Bethlehem Steel preferred. The
agricultural implement shares as well
as the mail order stocks testified to the
hope the speculative community feels
for improvement in the farming regions.
The leader was j. I. Case as usual,
followed by International Harvester,
Sears, Roebuck and Montgomery Ward.
The market is ahead of earnings in all
CT these cases, but that seemed to make
no difference.
Other features were a quiet demand
for International Telephone, an ad-
vance in Western Union on reports Of
better business, and strength in many
loW-priced utilities. HomeStake Mining
initiated an upward movement Of its
own. but the mining stocks as rule
did little. Ihe OILS were heaFy IN tns
first hour, improving toward the enc.
Shorts in Coco-Cola took TO cover.
The weekly car-loading statement
showed an increase of 85,478 cars fol-
the week ending September II, which
was about as had been predicted and
somewhat above the seasonal gain. The
market was most active on the advance
and made its best prices in the last
hour Cotton and wheat cid better in
the later trading along with stocks. and
the commodity markets reacted favora-
bly, on securities, and vice versa.

INDICATORS
ARE MAKING GAINS
Power Output and Revenue
Freight LoadingS Show
Increases.
BY CHAS. p. SCHAEFFER.
Associated Press Business Writer


Evidences of better feeling on the
part of business generally are not diff
ficult to discover.
Two of the most important trade in
dicators. namely. loadings of revenue
freight and production of electricity
have both made commendable gains
during recent weeks The former car
ries no particular significance, due to
seasonal movements of grain, yet the
fact that a narrowing in the rate OF
decline from last year is important.
For instance. during July and August
loadings were running about 33 per
cent behind the same months Of last
year. but this spread has been reduced
to approximately IS per cent during
recent weeks.
Power Output Gains.
Production of electricity is on the
upturn. stimulated by increased manu-
featuring in many branches, initiated
and perhaps influenced by the leader
ship of textile establishments.
Commodity prices have shown steady
progress during the last month, en-
hancing agricultural incomes by IN
calculable millions of dollars. Bank
failures are practically negligible and
more important. the deposits Of closed
institutions are showing an encourag-
ing decrease. The last monthly state
ment of the Federal Reserve Board
for this subject showed that deposits
restored by reopenings were actually
larger than those lost through closines
Net demand deposits of reporting
member banks are decreasing. but the
total is still more than Sl000,000, ,00O
less than the same period Of uaSt year
However. the significant factor in this
lies in an increase of 100000 900 TINS
year, while decline of sl,00O,00 ,0OC
was being shown for the same period
of 1881 Bank credit shows some evi-
dence of being put to work. an increase
of approximately $50 900 900 in the last
three weeks being shown in invest
ments, more than half Of which has
been in securities other than those oi
the United States.
Unfavorable Factors
Two major drawbacks stand out In
the situation. The first is production
of steel, which is around Is per cent
of capacity, as compared with more
than twice this amount last year. In
many quarters in Washington this Is
construed as meaning that steel mills
which cannot operate at prott Wnen
running less than 80 per cent OF ca
pacity. are piling up orders, so that
many weeks of profitable operation
may ensue when sufficient new business
accumulates. In this connection 1t Is
said that projects to be financed By
the Reconstruction Corporation will
call for 100000 tons of steel.
Automobile production has beer
drastically curtailed, to an extent ever
greater than that in 1881, as compared
with the previous year. The industry
it is said, is struggling through the
present year and pinning its hopes TO;
rehabilitation on new orders subsequent
to the showing of new models early
next year.

INCREASES RAPID
IN RETAIL TRADE
Movement of Fall Goods
! Found to Exceed Activity
in Like 1881 Period.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Retail trade has increased rather
sharply in some centers so far in Sep
tember, says The Business Week, and
continued improvement of more than
seasonal proportions in carloading in
dicates that movement of Fall and holi-
day merchandise to fill depleted stocks
is proceeding more rapidly than last
year.
slight slackening of industrial ac-
tivity is suggested by the relative recess
sion in electric power production last
and super-seasonal expansion. Steel ac-
tivity still lags for lack of support from
automobiles, railroads and construc-
ton, and public financing in the last
two fields has so far afforded inSuffi-
cient stimulus to stir the heavy indus
tries from their stagnation. but i'm
provement in residential building SO
far this month is promising
"The strength of security markets
and the continued advance of commodi-
ty prices despite recent technical re-
actions remain the most fundamentally
reasSuring features of the situation. Al
though commercial credit demand is
still slack and bank loans are still con-
tracing, the steady strengthening of
the banking position and recent eX-
pansion of bank investments are en-
CCuraging recovery symptoms.
The happy implications of August
increases in employment were somewhat
dampened by indications that these in
creaSeS are being accomplished at the
expense of wages, so that though more
men were working they altogether earn
ed less than if they weren't, which as
MIR. Dooley would say, is spreading work
SO thin that you can see through it, +"
Business Week concludes.
