An “educator” of Minnesota is ac

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.

Strange that man, said to descend

Modem crime turns an ancient test

the children “unto the third and
