the average advance.

road equipment manufacturers. was
near the top of the list with a AZ per
cent rise.

the most profitable. Oils picked up
q per cent over last year; automobile
accessories rs per cent, and the two
largest reporting automobile makers,

companies, down % per cent; utili-
ties, down 10 per cent, and railroads,

EUROPEAN INTERESTS
RESUME GOLD BOARDING
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Nov. l-After a period
of comparative quiet gold boarding
has been resumed by continental in
terests disturbed over their financial
and political situation.
Since October 20 more than S24.-
100000 in bullion offered in the open
market has been bought by such
interests at rising premiums over the
daily dollar quotation. Last Friday
the premium reached 10 cents.
Gold buyers have sold French francs,
and lately dollars, to obtain exchange
for purchase of the metal. To a
large extent this has been held ac-
countable for decline in dollar ex-
change on London.
Unsubstantiated rumors from the
Continent that a further cut in the
gold value of the dollar was contem-
plated also were held partly RESPONSE

The new Joint Committee on Gov.
ernment Organization is to confer
next Tuesday with the Presidents Ad-
visory Committee on Reorganization
before undertaking consideration Of
the executives recommendations
It was agreed today at the organi-
zation meeting of the joint commit
tee, presided over by Senate Leader
Robinson, that both Senate and House
groups may engage the services Of an
expert to advise them. An appropria-
tion of $4,000 for the expense Of the
committee is included in the deficiency
bill on which legislative action was
completed yesterday.
At the executive meeting this morn
ing an agreement was reached that
the Senate and House groups would
alternate in the choice Of chairman.
Senator Robinson was elected to serve
until the beginning Of the next ses-
sion of Congress, when the House
group will name the chairman.
Robinson said the election Of a new
chairman at the beginning of the
next session does not imply that legis-
lative action will not be taken on the
Presidents recommendation during
the present session. He pointed out
that the joint committee on Govern
ment organization was set up as
continuing body because Government

In appreciation Of the unremitting
efforts Of Gov. Murphy, we have as

to an early call by him to resume
