BOOKS WILL BE AREMQMER,
BACK TO COURT HOUSE
MONDAY EVENING

Monday will be the last day of
the precinct registration of vot-
ers. The books will be closed
that evening and on Tuesday
morning will be opened at the
county court house by Supervisor
of Registration John England.
While the abolishing of the poll
tax means, possibly, an appreci-
able increase in registrations. it
is moi possible to estimate the
number of registrations above the
usual, but it is confidently said
that the increase will be about
500 more than the last list.

new INSTRUMENT
Is RECEIVED BY
LIGHTHOUSE UNIT
PORTABLE RADIO DIRECTION
FINDER TO BE TESTED ON
DRY ToRTUGAs STATION
BOAT. moo 4o1elo6eq soq. !

rFfS
William w. Demeritt, superin-
tendent'iof the Seventh, : Light
house District, saidIe yesterday
that the district has receivedqs
small compact, portable radio di-
rection finder. The instrument is
to be tested on the Dry Tortugas
station boat for effectiveness and
accuracy.
1t has been especially designed
for use on small boats as means
of locating their position or TAX
ing bearings from radio beacons.
Hitherto such radio aids to navi-
CATION were of the large fixed in
stalIation type and involved a
considerable outlay of money.
The average cost of the unit at
the department is much cheaper
and can be easily placed on any
small vessel, the entire instru-
ment weighing but % pounds.
The receiving portion is approx
mately II inches square and sew
en- inches deep with a loop an
tenna about IA inches square.
This loop IS rotated by hand
and the point where the signal
comes in the weakest or not
head within a two degree space,
the point attached to the loop will
point in the direction from
which the signal radiates. All
batteries are contained in the
same cabinet as the receiver and
with normal use will last one
year.
It is anticipated that the use of
this portable outfit will increase
rapidly especially on small boats
and pleasure craft.

were exceeding anticipations.
Talks last week elicted the fact
that the inflow of orders con
tinues most gratifying. While
too early to dogmatize, dealers iE
many sections are reporting tc
headquarters that the public are
in a buying mood.
This has wide significance.
When individuals and families
are willing to buy new automo
bileS. it means thev are likely TO
buy other things.
That the economic and employ
ment curve is upwards is demon
strated by: an increase in railway
freight to the highest volume OF
the year. expanding consumption
of electric power, new 1888 peak
figures covering bank transac-
tions, widespread Unemployment.
speeding up of steel output, very
favorable building statistics.
RETAIL TRADE CONFIDENT
The weather man has behaved
so erratically that retail trade has
not moved normally in many sec
tions, but merchants are confident
that. between now and Christmas,
their sales will be very Satisfac-
tory. The possibility is that not a
few stores may find themselves
short of popular lines of merchan-
disc and unable to obtain add
tional deliveries promptly.
The elections are only fort
night away. Between now and
then it may be that caution will
be generally exercised in the high
est financial and industrial circles.
Frankly, not little of the re-
cent spread of hopefulness, optl-
nism, activity, stock market bull
Ishness, has been predicted on the
assumption that voters will record
heir preference for conservative,
-ather than radical, congressional
candidates. Judging by some OF his
,ecent utterances, President RooSe-
yelt has become conscious that
public sentiment is moving in this
NV guess is that if the polling
oleases the employing and invest
ng classes, the uptrend will be no
ably accelerated during the bal
ance of the year. i

Cotton Supply
NOReCOrd

U.N.SO. The present estimate
of the 1938-39 American cotton
supply is 25,7oO,OOO running baie;
approximately 100000 bales
less than the record of 19S2-33
the Bureau of Agricultural ECO
nomics reported today.
The total supply of American
cotton was increased 600, 900 bales
during the past month by upward
revislcns in both the carryovcr
and estimated production, the
bureau said.
On October 20. however, ap-
proximately 1888, 900 bales OF the
indicated supply for the current
season were being held by the
Government as collateral against
loans compared with a total Of
about 2,75O.OOO bales Of such
stock a year ago.

RISE IN MARKET
CONTINUES WITH
TRADING ACTIVE
Pivotal Issues Reach
New High Ground
Bv LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. "a Q.N.S0
The stock market chalked up its
fourth straight advance today in
continued active trading, with
leaders rising fractions to more
than a point. A few issues Jagged,
but these were exceptions to the
general trend.
Steels and motors were backward
in an irregularly higher opening,
but their losses were largely re-
covered as the list gained mo-
mentum on the upside.
UTILITIES STRONG
Renewed strength and activity
in utilities was an outstanding de-
velopment.
Rails and rail equipments also
were in the van of the further up
swing. Oils, rubbers, mail orders,
electrical equipments and chemi-
Gals were in fair demand.
Numerous pivotal issues moved
into new high ground for the year.
Included were United States Steel,
Loew'S, Douglas. Aircraft, and
Youngstown Sheet & Tube.
ChrySler and Du -Pont equalled
their 1888 tops.
Consolidated Edison, North
American and Public Service of
New Jersey, each climbed a point
or more in the utility section.
Similar gains were registered by
American Locomotive. Lima Loco
motive and Pullman in the rail
equipments, and Santa Fe in the
rails.
Douglas Aircraft, Loews, U. S.
Smelling, Youngstown Sheet q
Tube, Dupont, JohnS-Manville,
Westinghouse Electric and Amer
ican Smelling also were up q
point or more at their forenoon
highs.
Included in the list of stocks
to rule behind minueS signs a
good part of the morning were
Bethlehem, Anaconda, Kennecott,
Allied Chemical, Case, American
Radiator, U. S. Gypsum and Dome
Mines.

ON STOCK.
Surplus Created Not to
Go to Dividends
Bv RICHARD B. BAKER, Jr.

Columbia Gas and Electric Cor
poration has filed with the Securi
ties and Exchange Commission ar
application for authority to re
duce the par value o. its common
stock to 81 a share without re
ducing the number of shares out
standing.
Philip G. Gossler, chairman OF
the board of directors, revealed
the request in a letter to share
holders outlining the five-point
plan for meeting SEC require.
mentS in regard to accounting
problems in connection with an
analysis of the surplus accounts
of the corporation and it's Subsi.
diaries.
U.s. OF SURPLUS
Surplus created would be avail.
able together with surplus prior
to January l, 1888, for solution
of these problems and any charge
offs which may finally be con.
sidered necessary arising out of
transactions prior to 1888.
The plan is designed to give
practical solution to an account
ing problem created by conflicting
interpretations of various regula-
tory commissions and will free
the corporations earnings after
December 81, 1887, for payment
of dividends under the present
rules and regulations of SEC.
None of the surplus created will
be used for dividends, it was
pointed out by Mr.. Gessler.
