his dukes.
Goldie fought his way
+ through the A. E. F. in more
than one sense. When he
wasn't fighting Germans he was
fighting Americans or French
men-in the square arenas that
dotted the rest areas where the
soldiers often retired to catch
their breath and take a shave.
Too, Goldie fought up and
y down the Atlantic seaboard and
q did pretty well for himself
until one night out at Kenil-
worth, Md. he ran afoul Of

Miller, formerly Of the United

be a fight manager than a

abandoned the sport when he

NEW YORK, October 23.-Heav-
ness in some of the gold mining shares

Telephone were steady, while Amer

mildly irregular Transfers approM-

Shares that managed to push up
to points included those of Owens

OF the gold mining stocks developed
heavy tone, with Noranda of nearly

point or so each. u S. Smelling and

ing. Union Pacific lost a point and
such issues as American Telephone,
United States Steel, Consolidated Gas,
Case, Du Pont, General Motors,
Chrysler, Santa Fe, New York Cen
tral, Montgomery Ward and Sears,
Roebuck held to a narrow range.
The attention of the markets
seemed to be centered largely on the
American Bankers Convention at the
Capital and what President Roosevelt
will tell the financiers tomorrow re-
garding the administration none
tary program and future fiscal policies.
There were wide gueSses as to the
context Of the Chief Executives speech
and many traders were not disposed
to take a position on either side of
the equities market in the meantime.
The concensuS was that the address
could be particularly stimulating in
1uence to stocks. as a whole, or might
be of such a neutral character as to
leave the list in its present apathetic
condition
Although retail trade appeared to
be holding up well, other business and
industrial news was a little spotty.
The numerous third-quarter earnings
reports now appearing disclose that
some corporations registered improve
ments, but many others showed de-
clines from the corresponding 1888
quarter and quite siZable recessions
from the second quarter of 1884.
