Markets Are Improving.» New York, Nov 9.—With the securi ties maHtets, particularly for rail road shares, responding strongly to the termination of uncertainties, em phasis was laid in financial and busi ness circles last week on the improv ed outlook for business expansion. Bankers pointed out that, quite aside from political consideration, business men now know just where they stand. Many who deferred action until the situation could be clarified were now reported to be in a mood to go ahead with their plans. The probable effect of this confi dence was considered the more im portant because of the favorable na ture of fundamental economic factors. Some apprehension still is entertained as to the ultimate effect of competi tion from a restored Europe. On the other hand some of the best posted observers pointed out that better mar kets were being created in both Eu rope and the United States agricul tural districts; that industry was im- that money was cheap. These factors, they held, made the outlook enrourag- ing. Position of the country’s railroads was considered especially favorable. This was due to the great strength shown by the securities of the rail road companies, to the excellent earn ing reports recently made public and to the high level of coal loadings. It was generally agreed in financial quarters that the election result was favorable to the carriers. The new Congress, it was held, would contain less of the element hostile to the roads, which President Coolidge’s stand in favor of the transportation act and supervision by the Interstate Commerce commission was considered to offer an added measure of pro tection. Although sufficient time has not elapsed for the election to make itself felt in the returns from industry, the i fatest reports are reasonably satis factory. Even before the election the steel industry was holding up well. The autumn gains in production have been maintained and buying has been somewhat improved. Pig iron pro duction rose again in October. Grain prices rallied sharply after the election, some new highs for the year being realized. The rally was ascribed to the short covering, for eign buying and fresh speculation on the long side. Saturday’s government report on the cotton crop lifted the estimate to 12,186,000 bales, which is approxi mately 2,750,000 bales more than was realized from last year’s crop. The •stimate had been discounted and prices were comparatively little chan ged with the *spot commodity com manding about 24 cents. Ginnings to November 1 amounted to 9,694,000 bales. B. L.

A man that would not allow any body to beat his young horse or dog for fear of “breaking its spirit” will break the sensitive spirit of his own child. Modem crime turns an ancient test upside down. In Exodus, 20th chap ter, 5th verse, you are told that the iniquity of the fathers is visited upon the children “unto the third and fourth generation.” Now the crime of the. child is visit ed upon the father. Albert Loeb, whose son killed the Franks boy, is dead, killed by sorrow and disgrace. That should satisfy the bloodthirsty that demanded “somebody hanged.”.
