Not so long ago, it was
prophecised in this column
that the Ludington Line would
eventually go on a halt-hour
schedule between here and
New York NOW 1t is under
stood that such schedule will
be placed in effect about April
/ and that Fleetsters will be
used on the half-hour service
E. the Stinsons will leave on
the hour as usual. 1T is also
understood that the half-hour
schedule ships will make non-
stop express hops to and from
the big city. that's real pro-
gress.
The Eastern Air Transport
reports splendid traffic over
the entire line for the month
of January. 1T seems to be
the thing to use E. A. T. going
to the southern resorts. the
mechanical pilot, seems to be
giving great satisfaction.

| ONE RIVAL,
GARNER

Back any Washington politi.
clan into a quiet corner to dis
cuss the Democratic presidential
situation stripped of persiflage
and camouflage and he will say
that only two men are considered
seriously for the nomination
Roosevelt and Garner.
All other candidates are dis
counted on mere mention. The
politicians count out such men as
al Smith, Newton Baker, owen
Young, George White, Jim Reed,
Bill Murray-all of them. They
only want to talk of the chances
Of two men-Roosevelt and Gar
per. And they want to talk
endleSSly.
Not Strictly Rivals
Strangely enough the New
York governor and the Speaker
Of the House are not regarded
aS rivals in the stricteSt sense.
There is a great contrast in
the campaigns being conducted
for the two men. Roosevelt is
an avowed candidate. He has an
organized movement for him. He
has campaign managers and as
sistant campaign managers. There
are others who would like to
horn in as assistants to the as
sistants. They are the band
wagon jumpers.
Just now the Roosevelt man
ayers are conducting a rather
furious campaign against AL
Smith. Smith says he is not a
candidate but will run if drafted.
In that the Roosevelt supporters
see the greatest menace to his
nomination. They believe that
Smith must be checked before
he gets started.
Gamers Record
Homer Cummings, of Connec-
tiCut, former chairman of the
Democratic national committee
and former advocate of William
@. McAdoo, has. been called into
the situation for Roosevelt. He is
busy interviewing Democratic
Members of Congress for the New
York governor. So is Chairman
James A. Farley. of the New York
Democratic State committee,
The arguments made on behalf
Of Garner concern largely his
leadership in the House.

Late Recovery Cuts Down
Losses in Several Lead
ing Issues.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.

NEW YORK, October 8 LP).-The
stock market finished a session of con-
fused price movement today with a
wide assortment of small losses.
A favorable weekly report of the
movement of revenue freight checked
an early decline, but break in cotton,
on publication Of the Government S
monthly crop report. brought fresh
selling in shares, which depressed many
of the more active issues l to more
than points for a time.
There were numerous reoCyerles OF
a point or so in the late dealings,
however, and at the finish, most losses
ranged from fractions to point.
Trading was moderately active Tor
Saturday session, the turnover amount
ing to some 100000 shares. The
closing tone was slightly heavy.
The gain in car loadingS as reported
for the week ended October l, was
q. .329 cars. This carried the volume
of freight to the highest level attained
for any 7-tav period thus lar IN 1882,
blt enthusiasm over the showing was
tempered by the fact that car loadingS
usually reach a seasonal peak at this
time of wear. and the normal trend
turns downward early in October. All
classes OF freight showed gains. save
live stock, but the principal gain was
in COal.
Union Pacific rallied to show a frac-
tianal gain. then slid back to close
more than a point lower. Southern
Pacific registered an exceptional loss
of , points. U. S. Steel and American
Can reduced their extreme losses to
fractions. but a number of miscelane-
Gus issues closed about a point lower,
including American Telephone, Inter
national Harvester, Case, Consolidated
Gas. Sears. WoolWOrth and others.
Utilities, as a group, were under con-
siderable pressure for time.
General Motors sales report for Sep
tember, issued at the close CT the mar
ket. showed cars and trucks sold TO
consumers in the United States at
"a 694, a slight reduction from the
$3.50 sold in August.
TIE Government cotton report showed
an indicated crop Of II .425 900 bales,
or somewhat larger than private esti-
mates Of recent weeks placing the total
around 100000 bales Cotton was
off about 81 a bale when the report
appeared, and closed with net losses of
S215 to S2.35 a bale. Wheat was
off about a cent early, but then re-
covered.
