OFF IN WEEK .

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 u.N.s0.
Loadings of revenue freight last
week, to be published late today
by the American Railway Associ-
alton, probably will total around
$4,000 cars, as compared with
650,482 in the preceding week
and 617,642 in the like 1892
period estimates in Wall Street
indicated today. .
A figure of $4,000 cars would
represent 81 per cent Of the Is
year average for this week. In
the two preceding years the
drop between october 81 and
october % weeks was consider
ably more than seasonal. In
1882, the decline was around U.s.
900 cars and in 1881 it was about
$4,000.
The first nine major carriers
to report loadings on line for
last week, loaded 220,6266 cars
compared with 223,280 in the
preceding week and 213,S66 IN
the corresponding 1882 period.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 U.N.S0.
After the markets performance
yesterday, the bulls can command
a respectable following now. Not
that there is any stampede on to
buy stocks. but the bids are com.
ing in on reactions and sentiment
is quite hopeful. The market is
shaping up to do better things,
and it would take an unexpected
piece of bad news to upset this.
There were stories around Of i'm.
portant converts to the construc-
tive side yesterday. One was said
to be a big investment trust.
Another was an ex-banker who has
been quite a market factor start
ing with Auburn several years ago.
While the emphasis is apparent
ly on the liquor shares due to the
repeal votes next week, the bot
Ting shares should benefit as
much. ;.
The report is general now that
General Motors will declare a 25-
cent extra on Monday. And that
Dupont will pass it on to its
stockholders.
The strength in Great Western
Sugar was accompanied by the
rumor that the dividend will be
increased to SO and that net for
the year will run around S. q
share.
There's talk of special market
developments in western Union,
based on resumption Of merger
negotiations with Postal Tele-
graph along with Radio.
Retail trade is understood to
have been holding we'll. Buying
from the Middle West has been
noted in Sears Roebuck. The
rails are winning back some
friends, based on their low prices
and the fact traffic is holding
better than year ago.

is too low and not infrequently a
board of directors is unwilling to
undertake new structures and new
equipment because Of values still
carried on the books, whereas
under more forward looking
policy such an obstacle to prog
ress would not have confronted
them.
Rapid obsolescence due to i'm
provements in processes is said to
constitute one of the largest
charges on the books. There is
also real obsolescence in the case
of products which if neglected
may permanently cripple a manu-
facturer.
The obsolescence of products is
illustrated by the experience of a
certain automobile manufacturer
who, Notwithstanding the most
modern types of equipment with
which to make his favorite model,
found himself unable longer to
satisfy the public, and was forced
into a change so complete that
costly delays enSued.

Hard on the BARRIERS

Citizens in Devils Lake must have
heaved sigh of relief Wednesday
night at the conclusion OF their gol-
den anniversary celebration.
For weeks every adult male resident
Of the town has been growing beard
or mustache in order to give the pro-
per touch to a revival Of historic days.
Reports from the Ramsey county city
are that friends of long standing had
difficulty in recognizing each other
because of hirsute DISCUSSES.
Then, too, think of the uncomfort-
able periods, particularly during
these recent hot days. There may
be some question as to whether
whiskers have anything to do with
body temperature but there is no
question that they look warm and no
doubt about the cooling properties of
clean shave.
Other cities have adopted similar
schemes for lending distinction to
municipal celebrations and in some
cases fines have been imposed for
violation of "no-shaving" ordinances.
There are few more powerful COM
mentaries on the lengths to which
mans gregarious instinct, spurred by
an ebullient civic spirit, will cause
him to go.

It has been rather obvious that the
American standard Of living would
have difficulty in reaching the place

were a general raising of the world

A Future at Stake
After Mary Lou had left her
Marraret Lorrimer lay in the dark

After Mary Lou had left her
Margaret Lorrimer lay in the dark
ness and thought.
She didn't like the sound Of this
interloper.
But it had to be faced. She had
to find out if Travers and this
woman had been married. II they
had. perhaps she could be bought
off and Travers need never know.
Yet as far as Mary Lou was con-
cerned that was no solution. She
sighed and turned restlessly on her
pillows. Her arm began to ache
furiously. She'd have to get some
sleep and be fit to see Dan and
Larry in the morning. But before
anything was done, anything set
tied, she would see this woman for
herself. =.
If she had not known before as
a certainty that Mary Lou was in
love with Lorrimer, she knew it
now. And now, more than ever,
it complicated things for them all.
In the morning Mrs. Lorrlmer
sent for DR.. Mathews. Later, he
and Larry Mitchell had long talk.
Then he came to Margaret.
"The boys right. We will say
nothing to Travers until this bust
ness is definitely settled. Until we
are sure. And, Margaret, don't
worry SOP he urged.
"Wouldn't you worry? When
Travers' whole future is at stake
his happiness his health event"
"He's in excellent condition,
thanks to Mary LOU" the doc
tor reminded her.
Eyes, thanks to her. But what is
to happen TO- her? And to him
whsr he Knows the TRUTH Oh
