Old Bank Notes
Is Unredeen1ed

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury said today that a
fourth Of the $S28,914,956 national
bank notes in circulation when their
redemption began in 1885 are still in
the hands of the public or have been
lost.
A few of the old notes straggle in
nearly every day, but on October "a,
$208, ,494 1894 were still in circulation.
II they are not turned in, the
Treasury will be able to pocket that
much money, because the issuing banks
posted cash with the Treasury to pay
for the redemption. Recently redemp-
tions have amounted to about s3,O0O,-
600 a month.
Since 1885. the only kinds of new
currency issued have been Federal Re-
serve notes and Treasury silver Ger
tidcates. But before the war, national
bank notes. issued by any national

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ~. II High
stakes, with no holds barred, have
given Pennsylvania's political battle
a rough-and-tumble tempo.
For Republicans, Pennsylvania is q
large scale reclamation project. For
four years they have been a minority
part in State whose Republicanism
for decades was taken for granted.
If they can reclaim it from the little
New Deal" Of Gov George H. Earle,
the immediate spoils are $1,000 State
jobs. And victory might help win
the 36 electoral votes-the second
largest block in the country-in 1910.
Earle seeks the seat of United States
Senator James j. Davis. Stocky
"Puddler Jim," long a Republican
wheelhorse, has no desire to yield.
Earle's Democratic ticket mate is
Lawyer Charles Alvin Jones Of Pitts
burgh, contesting for the governor
ship with Arthur H. James, Superior
Court judge.
Labor Leaders Differ.
Senator Davis got the name "Pud-
dler Jim" while working in the steel
mills. President Green Of A. F. of L.
indorsed the Davis candidacy, but the
State A. F. of L., along with c. I. O.,
declared for Earle and Jones. Davis
has New Deal voting record stronger
than many conservative Democrats in
the Senate
The issue is not only the New
Deal, but whether Earle's version of
it has been applied honestly. Repub-
ican cries of graft and purchased
Legislation have churned up a tur-
mol.
Democrats say those charges are
made for political effect. And they
hammer at Judge James for holding
on to his court post while campaign
ing for the governorship.
High on the general staff of the
Democratic forces is Senator Joseph
Guffey, who appears to have forgiven
the Earle faction for defeating in the
primary the slate backed by him and
c. I. o. Chieftain John L. Lewis.
G. o. p. Men Long In Office.
Political experience is heavily on
the side Of the Republicans. Davis
has been elected Senator twice. Be-
fore that he was Secretary of labor
for 10 years. Gubernatorial Candidate
James was a district attorney and

lieutenant governor before election to
the bench. He's red-haired, vigorous
campaigner and was an anthracite
miner in his youth. James won q
landslide primary victory over Clifford
Pinchot, twice Governor.
Earle never was q candidate until
he ran for the governorship four years
ago. Born and reared in wealth. his
diversions were polo and bustard
hunting when President Roosevelt
started his public career by naming
him Minister to Austria in 1893.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Further
faint rallying signs were present in
today's stock market, but rising vigor
was lacking in most departments.
Motors. steels, rubbers and a few
rails responded to quiet bidding with
advances of fractions to around
point at the best, but these were down
from the top at the close.
1t was one of the slowest sessions
in more than two months, with the
two-hour turnover approximating only
100000 shares.
Continuance of moderately bright
business prospects, brokers said, was
the main buoying influence for the
list. In some quarters, though, 1t was
felt that an unusually strong recovery
in the United States would be neces-
sary to Offset conditions abroad and
turn the recessionary tide in several
foreign countries.
Tension Still in Evidence.
European war tension, still in evil
dence overseas as the result of extern
sive German military maneuvers,
seemed to inspire cautionary attitude
among speculative contingents.
Part of the days apathy was at
triouted to the decision of many
commission mouse customers to get
head start on their holiday. Others
were inclined to keep commitments
at minimum over the week end.
In many cases best quotations for
the brief proceedings were estab-
lished in the first hour. After a dip
there was another upturn near the
beginning of the final period. Scanti-
ness of volume on the comeback
brought in some profit taking at the
| last.
Favored the greater part Of the
time were Chrysler, General Motors,
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
United States Rubber, Goodyear,
Goodrich, Montgomery Ward. Mar
shall Field, Macy, Westinghouse,
Western Union, American Telephone.

| Further support was given the mo-
tors as predictions were heard that
sales and production for this industry
in 1889 would top the current year by
Is to so per cent.
| Although the steels were still
handicapped to some degree by lower
prices and the maintenance of current
wages, gradually improving output
served to keep these shares in the
limelight. Production in leading mill
centers was expected to step up an
other notch or two next week
Stimulating few merchandising

retail sales in the past two days as
the result of better weather condi-
tions. At the same time. the Federal

comparable 1887 week.
A handful of oil and metal shares
improved on the Curb. Aluminium

were shown by Lake Shore, Interna-
tional Petroleum. United Shoe Ma

were Standard Power Il Light and

b. the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20. - Finished
steers and yearlings made slight gains,
largely through comparative scarcity,
while short-feds and grassers worked
| lower. Hogs advanced early in the
week but lost part of the gain. Mean
while fat lambs sold of before mid
week and recovered most of the loss
later in the period
At Chicago the closing fed steer
and yearling trade was fairly active,
with choice and prime grades in
broader demand than others. Best
fed steers brought 1915, yearlings
1900 and light steers 1918, while best
heifers in load lots turned at 1895.
Replacement steers finished rs cents
lower, and cows closed steady after
having sold off early in the week.
| Best steers available at ST. Louis
brought SIP, with the bulk at $50
$1,000. At Kansas City the supply
was comparatively light and.a strong
undertone developed into 25-cent up
turn on some grades of fed steers and
yearlings. Choice 1,257-pound steers
topped at Sll50, while other we'll
finished offerings turned at SILL
s1135, with strictly grassers at
$625-$8.
Hog Prices Recover.
Sharply reduced hog marketings
brought about substantial price re-
covery from the recent slump, the
top advancing to s915 at Chicago
Wednesday only to recede to s9.05
on the following day. The market
was sensitive to the supply element
and promised to work lower if mar
ketings increase seasonally. At the
close Thursday most good and choice
1So-24O-pound hogs brought s8.75-S9
at Chicago. having advanced from ar
outside price of S8.75 in force late
last week.
At St. Louis the recovery amounted
to $3.50 cents, most good hogs selling
late at $8.50-90. with top of $685.
River markets held to a l,latively high
price position, as indicated by late
top of $3.50 at Kansas City and So &C
at Sioux City. Chicago had seasonal
numbers of new crop hogs, while
packing sows comprised more than
IS per cent of the run.
Prices on Lambs.
